- So Zion has custom Nikes plastered all over social media, a CBS camera, mike & camera operator dedicated solely to him -- but he's just another student-athlete and it's Duke and the NCAA that is generating (and therefore deserving of) the billions being made. What. A. Joke.
- I’m at a boys’ HS basketball game. Star player on home team is not playing. Load management. High school. Load management in HIGH SCHOOL. We’ve lost our %*$# minds.
- Pretty simple: won a ring before KD, won a ring after KD. Adjusted his game to accommodate KD when he was there. Slogged through the hard times building each of those teams. That’s not a media narrative/concoction — that’s what he did.@RicBucher so Steph winning two rings with KD when KD was the best player on the team doesn’t affect Steph’s legacy? Wow, I’ve heard it all, the way y’all media folks paint the narrative for the guys y’all like is laughable.
- Let's be real -- Jimmy Butler deserved the first ECF MVP award.
- I watched this sequence and had a similar thought: this is why people have stopped watching the NBA. Felt like an All-Star Game. And we all know how we feel about the All-Star Game.Why dont you watch the NBA anymore? THIS is why:
- I believe life happens. I also believe in the power of prayer/karma. My dad, 88, is fighting for his life and I’d like to put an army of spiritual soldiers around him. So, if you would, please send a thought his way. Thank you.
- Count on Russ Westbrook asking out or being moved now. Only question is where and for how much. Just a thought: how much fun would it be to have KD and Russ battling for the NY crown while Kawhi/PG and LeBron/AD are doing the same in LA?
- P.S. Holly Rowe is at the top of my sideline reporter pyramid. For all sports. No one does it better. Never flustered, can ad lib, lets moments breathe when it's called for, asks on-point, well-crafted questions. Makes it look easy and I assure you it's not.
- How can you not respect a dude going this hard, down 13? Give me more of this, all day, every day. P.S. Beating a guy to the spot and bodying up isn't a foul. Brunson sold it at the end. If I were Suggs, I'd be mad, too.Suggs man😭
- Last few days I couldn’t open my feed w/out tearing up at the response to my enlistment call for spiritual soldiers on behalf of my dad, 88, unconscious w/a bleeding brain. Well, today he opened his eyes, squeezed my hand & said my name. You are all my heroes. As is he.
- First weekend of LV Summer League I asked a rival GM about Kawhi going and staying in Toronto. "No chance," he said. "He was in the All-Star Game there. Never left his room. He hates the cold."
- If the egregious missed goaltend at the end of the Blazers-Jazz game can’t be corrected by the NBA Command Center, then it’s not a Command Center.
- I'm ready to Trust The Process. The Knicks' process. Inducing young talent to lose year after year isn't a process, it's negligence. #76ers
