    I always ask locker room attendants in every NBA city to reveal who the best players are with their tips and their time. And three names are always mentioned: Steph Curry, Draymond Green ... and Russell Westbrook.

    You wanna make Suns' fans really, really angry? Tell them: No Anthony Davis, no Jamal Murray, no Kawhi.

    Steph Curry this year has the Kobe Award, the Magic Award, and now shooting for the Russell Award. That would be a decent 2022 collection.

    This is why you never ever question an athlete's injury, as many did Kawhi Leonard and now Kevin Durant. You think KD wanted to sit out the Finals? Props for him for trying. Took guts.

    If the Clippers are tired after playing every other night for almost a month, it's because they fell 0-2 twice in the first two rounds and didn't take care of their biz.

    If you think the Warriors retiring Durant's number after three years is too generous, wait until the Raptors retire Kawhi's number after one year.

    We can choose what we have to remember 20 years ago, or what we want to remember. Thanks to Michael Jordan and everyone who made it easier for my family.

    Serious question: Would you rather your team win the title or the draft lottery this season?

    Makes you appreciate what the 1971-72 Lakers did even more.

    You wanna knock Jamal Crawford's defense at age 39, fine. But if Melo had scored 51 in the final game last season and was still at home, NBA twitter would burn.

    Conley, on reports that he only wanted the East: "I don't know where that came from."
