- The fact that Duncan Robinson went from D3 player without a D1 offer, to scholarship player and later starter at Michigan, to a legit rotation player on the Heat who have the 3rd best record in the NBA, does not get enough attention. Unbelievable achievement.
- Congrats Michigan, you just won three Quad-1 games in 3 days to win the Big Ten championship. Your reward? Travelling West on 3 days rest to play in altitude against the top 12-seed and one of the highest rated 12-seeds in historyMichigan is a 5 seed in Denver (Thursday) against UCSD. You can't convince me the Big Ten Tournament matters to the committee.
- Luka Doncic faced at least 11(!) different coverages against the Toronto Raptors Friday night. It didn't matter -- Luka dissected all of them. Watch how he did it:
00:00 - Luka is going to have to play *much* better defensively on the perimeter if Dallas is going to win this series. He gave up too many blow by's that directly led to baskets or put the Mavericks in rotation:
00:00 - The Timberwolves played 8(!) different coverages against Luka Doncic in Game 3. It didn't matter -- Doncic has seen *every* defense and knew exactly how to dissect them:
00:00 - The One and Only, LeBron James. How LeBron mismatch hunting Damian Lillard led the Lakers to victory:
00:00 - Two minutes of Steph Curry creating easy baskets for teammates without touching the ball
00:00 - Purdue just executed the exact baseline out of bounds (BLOB) coverage on the same exact BLOB LeBron and JJ discussed

02:26.@KingJames and @jj_redick are obsessed with basketball. Consider their podcast, Mind the Game, a celebration of the sport as they discuss the state of the game, dissect X’s and O’s (like they do here), and wax poetic about the game they love. - Nikola Jokic's Perfect Quarter Jokic scored or created a ridiculous 36(!!) of Denver’s 38 points in the 3rd Quarter of Game 5. Watch how he did it:
00:00 - Longest — and best — 2-for-1 kill I’ve seen this season. Colorado State wasted 11 seconds before inbounding, then scored with the shot clock expired prior to halftime.
00:00 - Michigan got completely screwed with every late whistle and still won. Unbelievable shots late from Tre Donaldson.
- Duncan Robinson had a bigger impact on Miami’s offensive success in Game 3 than anyone not named Jimmy Butler. But, how? Didn’t he only shoot 4/12 and 3/10 from three? Watch:
