A scrum to be preserved years later in avatar fame on social media...
Even 24 years after retiring from the @NBA Wilt Chamberlain commanded a huge media presence at #NBAAllStar (1997, @NBA at 50, Cleveland)

- Giannis Antetokounmpo exiting Fiserv Forum, sees Anthony Davis in the hall. “Come to the Bucks, man,” Giannis says, smiling. “Come to the Bucks.” Both laugh. #recruiting
- No LeBron, no Oscar, no MJ, no Harden, no Westbrook. This 40 points/triple-double/70% FG club is awfully exclusive.
- Maybe no player in the league needs a fresh start or deserves a reset than this guy. As Media Days set the table for 2021-22, it would be nice to see it happen right where he’s at.
- You rename the Twin Cities the Twin Towns, if that's what it takes.You don’t lose Towns. You just don’t. You fire Thibs, you fire GM. You fire trainers and security staff and chefs and trade Wiggins and Butler and whoever else. You don’t lose Towns. You have him on his rookie deal. Everything else comes after “Keep towns.”
- All in their 30s when they got together, each already bound for the HOF. RIP Elgin and Wilt. Long live Mr. Clutch/The Logo.
- They do. They're called "paychecks."They should give out awards for stuff like this
- Sid Hartman made his bones back when a sports columnist could also function as a local team's GM. Any Lakers fans celebrating their 17th NBA title this month -- including the five in Mpls -- owes a nod to El Sid. (He's at far left in photo). From 2011: nba.com/lakers/news/11…
- You could get kids enthused to learn science if you used that play as a case study in physics, with force of Curry's bounce pass, the arc of the oop, and gravity on the ball and Giannis. #oohandahhHighlight of the night so far: Steph with a high bounce pass to Giannis for a dunk. Crowd actually showed some signs of life after that play.
- Anyone trying to reduce this guy to a ring count, that’s on you. #valuesA wise 26-year-old GIANNIS on ego & his mindset: When you focus on the past, that's your ego. When I focus on the future, it's my pride. I try to focus in the moment, in the present & that's humility. That's being humble.
- F Michael Porter Jr., who slid to Denver at No. 14 in NBA Draft due to ongoing back issues, had another surgery last week. His camp believes latest procedure = breakthrough grasp of his herniated-disks problem. Not their plan to have him sit out 2018-19 season.
- Wilt Chamberlain was named MVP and Rookie of the Year, was First Team All-NBA and All-Star, led the NBA in scoring and rebounding (blocks weren’t counted back then) and averaged 37.6p and 27.0r. There’s a reason the ROY trophy is named after him.Victor Wembanyama's rookie season is over: • 1522 points • 755 rebounds • 274 assists • 254 blocks • 128 3-pointers Wemby is the only player in NBA history with 1500+ PTS, 250+ BLK, and 100+ 3PT in a single season. It's the greatest rookie season
