@DamienPetersNBA Jalen Williams. Worst fantasy basketball pick. Dude barely fucking played all year and is now load managing 🤦🏽‍♂️

Players who have disappointed this season: - Patrick Williams - Myles Turner - Gradey Dick - Terance Mann - Ja Morant -Dorian Finney-Smith - Ryan Dunn - Keegan Murray - Immanuel Quickley - PJ Washington - Quentin Grimes - Evan Mobley - Jordan Poole Add to the list —>

@Iamria_maven Movie is a gem. Crazy Stupid Love.

The moment he realized his friend is dating his daughter.

@JordanRaanan - Trade him. Hurts to say but value has dropped over the years. But if you trade him, it should be for players. Maybe an OL & LB. Getting a 3rd rd pick would be ugly. -Like Love at 5. Buying into Tate hype though -Love Rutledge’s run blocking but DT in rd 2. Gotta stop the run

How does this sound for Giants: 1. Keep Dexter Lawrence 2. Pick 5 - RB Jeremiyah Love 3. Take G Keylan Rutledge or Chase Bisontis in Round 2

@NBA__Courtside Took him this long to get it? Stats are inflated like fuck. Aint no way you look at somebody like Booker’s stats and Bird and say they are close in comparison, im sorry

Gilbert Arenas says he knows why generations complain now when they say you wasn’t there: “We are here, we were here with Kobe. So you can see how we have to lobby for him. We see what Jokic is and what he’s doing and 10 years from now all they going to see is the stats. They not going to see he should have won 5 MVPs, 6 MVPs stuff like that. Right? You not going to know how great someone really was once the legacy is moved. And all you have his arguments and the arguments or just looking at the stat sheet….. Like, even when someone says the best small forward, right? They have Larry Bird third. And then when you look at Larry Bird, you have the 3 back to back MVPs then you got another 6 MVP second or third place. And you’re sitting there like, damn. Like unless you really go down and watch how great people are, if you just looking at the stats and listening to people argue you only arguing for what you can see right now. Not what the past was.” (Via @GilsArenaShow)

@NBA__Courtside Rudy Gobert not being a top defensive player disproves justifying him 4 DPOYS. Wemby has quickly shown how much Gobert is just height vs pure skill and the rest of the world sees it lol

Patrick Beverly is picking Rudy Gobert over Ben Wallace as a defender: “I’m going without a doubt, Rudy Gobert. I don’t think y’all understand how elite Rudy Gobert is. Rudy has been one of the top 3/5 best defenders of the last decade without a doubt…. His impact on defense is something we’ve never seen before in NBA history, without a doubt.” (Via @patbev21)

@jazzbeargryllz 1st option: Karim Lopez. His game is versatile on both ends of the floor. Can really be a Swiss Army knife on a roster who doesn’t have one. 2nd option: Brayden Burries. I truly see shades of Devin Booker in him. With defense. Enough said.

If the draft goes: 1. AJ 2. Darryn 3. Boozer 4. Caleb 5. Kingston 6. Wagler JAZZ AT 7… Who are you taking?

@NBA__Courtside Well that was a stupid & unnecessary comment 😂

Rich Paul also says LeBron James doesn’t enjoy being in his hometown Akron, Ohio after his comments about Memphis: “Guess where else LeBron don’t want to be? AKRON! He’s from there! He don’t want to be there, he just outgrew it. Which is fine” (Via Game Over)

Nahhh Spurs are a f****** problem. I thought the Thunder created the perfect roster. But this is special 🤩

@McCadeP8 Picks next year. So, say Warriors moves to 3rd pick. Jazz fall to 7. Then next year Warriors and Jazz have to swap picks, regardless of record. More incentive to play hard to ensure other team doesn’t get a better pick from you!

@McCadeP8 I’ve got one for you. 2-year draft window: Year 1 lottery as normal. But, if your team moves out of the draft position you were in, then you have to swap pick with the team that replaced the spot next yr Ex.: 7th overall odds. Get lucky in lotto, move up to 3rd. Now you swap..

Every idea is so bad. So bad. Nobody actually understands the problem, not even Adam Silver himself. Nobody is asking the right questions.

@RWunbreakable @FastbreakHoops5 4 Nattys between them. Brunson won 2, AD & Kemba won 1. This is a landslide for Team 2

@FastbreakHoops5 Team 2. Those guys did nothing but win. 3 nattys between them. The only way you’d have a chance to score on them would be outside. 12 feet and in would be a no fly zone.

Which team would you take?

@FastbreakHoops5 Team 2 is the only right answer when comparing collegiate careers

@tfyoucallme @AshNicoleMoss And to add, it’s so much bigger than his shot. Does he have the lateral quickness on defense to defend? Can he create his own shot off the dribble? Can he excel with finesse if his brute strength is matched? So many questions for #1 pick consideration imo

@AshNicoleMoss I hate how people say “develop his shot” as if that’s not a huge if. That’s exactly what Bill is saying. His entire game is predicated upon scoring by the rim. I love Cam Boozer as a prospect and player but it’s a fair question mark to have about his game.

Cam Boozer’s size is literally perfection for the NBA (and he’s still growing). if he continues to develop his shot and doesn’t just rely on his size to only score in the paint — the kid is gonna be a beast. tbh i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s an All-Star in 3 years

@AshNicoleMoss With a top 5 pick, it starts & comes down to: Can this guy be a 1,2 or 3 option on a championship team? Boozer is such an intriguing prospect bc his IQ for the game is so elite. But does his athleticism & lack of perimeter game hinder him from being a perennial all-star? Maybe

Michigan’s defense switches so damn well. Such an impressive squad. They should win it all, even over Arizona

@PlayersChoice_ Acuff has Dame Lillard potential offensively

Darius Acuff is great on the offensive side of the ball, but defensively...

@XXL 7 years in and still haven’t had a verdict. Our judicial system is a complete joke.

YNW Melly requests to be released again after being in jail for seven years. On Wednesday (March 25), Melly's new legal team filed a motion to set a bond in Broward County, Fla., court. The Florida rapper's attorneys argue that Melly is being held in dehumanizing conditions, having been in solitary confinement since December of 2021. They also say he hasn't been able to see visitors for the past four years, with those privileges, along with his ability to use the phone, being revoked in 2022. "In this case, [YNW Melly] is entitled to an evidentiary hearing for bond reconsideration due to changes in circumstances, and the emergence of additional evidence not previously considered by either this Court or the predecessor judge," the filing reads. This is Melly's fourth attempt at securing a bond since he was arrested in February of 2019 and charged with double-murder in connection to the killing of his childhood friends Christopher “YNW Juvy” Thomas and Anthony “YNW Sakchaser” Williams in October of 2018. Melly's first trial ended in a mistrial in 2023. He is scheduled to be retried in January of 2027. XXL has reached out to YNW Melly's attorney for comment.

@FirstTake @stephenasmith His ego growth over the years has been an ugly watch. Consistently inaccurate commentary on sports. Chose power & money over respectability. I respect everything he has done for black commentators and tv personalities, especially black woman. But he’s changed for the worse 🤷🏽‍♂️

"I don't need to talk to you. I get paid to talk about you." 👀 @stephenasmith responds to Josh Hart telling him to "shut the hell up" 🗣️

@joelvmoran Burries has Devin Booker potential. He’s really like that. Peat is the perfect glue guy for a championship team. Completely elevates the level of play for your whole squad. So impressed by these prospects

Brayden Burries and Koa Peat scream decade long NBA careers. They are day one contributors. Burries with his shooting, driving ability, and defend. Peat with his finishing, rebounding, and versatility.

@Sl_eeem @LakeShowYo 100% a lottery pick. Size & offensive versatility. Really good feel for the game, his IQ stands out more than anticipated. And his intensity on the defensive end. I had him #8 overall a month ago. W/O college tape and other guys moving up, I put him around 12th but could be top 7

@LakeShowYo The international wave in the NBA isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Karim López might just be the next name people start learning the hard way. Be honest, Is he actually lottery-level, or are we getting carried away with highlights?

Mexican star Karim López has officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft 🇲🇽 At 18 years old and 6'9, he is projected to become the first player in NBA history born in Mexico and get drafted 🤯
