Best quote in the Nets pressroom from an unidentified reporter: "Just say you're sorry. I've been married twice. You don't have to be sorry to say you're sorry."

Newsday sports columnist, features writer and queen of NY NBA writers. Been around so long I covered Knicks when they were really good and you were 10.
- KD on Judge’s new contract with Yanks: “I’m a nationals fan. I really don’t care.”
- Rapinoe has both US goals in this game against France. Turned the pressure up on herself and then performed. First player to score four straight world cup goals in US history. Wonder if POTUS is watching?
- Talking about Djokovic situation with Nets Australian player Patty Mills. Asked him if he thought rules should apply to everyone: "Yeah. I won an Olympic medal and quarantined in a hotel for two weeks."
- Getting scary out here. Crowd of protesters just jumped barricades and pushing towards door. Chanting let Kyrie play.
00:00 - Ben Simmons just turned toward reporters, said “Make sure you get this.” And then he dunked!
- Question: “If you could add one rule to nba what would it be. Jalen answer: “everything under two minutes must be reviewed”
- Sounds like Kyrie is staying in Brooklyn for the long haul. “There’s no way I’m leaving my man seven anywhere” he says at shoot around.
- David letterman asks KD if he would play for Knicks on off days. Durant’s response? “They let anyone in here.”
- KD also thinks he had a mvp year and should be a part of conversation, though he knows he isn’t really in running cause he played 55 games
- Frank Ntilikina's mom escaped Rwanda after a machete was held to her neck, rescued 2 sons from a refugee camp and then raised 3 successful boys. Today, she is watching one one of them play in NBA rookie game. #strongwomen nwsdy.li/2o9ru8q via @Newsday
- Kevin Durant just left building being escorted by a pr guy. Did not answer questions or make eye contact. Very un-KD.
- KD said he isn’t expecting Ben Simmons to play. Just wants him to get healthy and doesn’t want to out that pressure on him.
- Nets are now 9-3 when both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are playing.
