The past few days I have been posting on Blue Sky, so follow me on there if you have a Blue Sky account: bsky.app/profile/cyroas…

Russell Westbrook on playing for a winning team: “There’s so many different things that have to align for you to be able to win a championship in this league... For me, it’s just being in a place where I’m wanted.”

They don't make them like that anymore.

Among NBA All-Stars, only Magic Johnson has averaged more playoff wins per season than Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in league history. Still a lot left in their careers, but impressive regardless.

Another No. 1 for LeBron James because of longevity. The only player with 100-plus playoff games lost.

JJ Redick on LeBron James' 2026 NBA season: "He had not a good season, not a great...he had a remarkable season all things considered."

Another @nikehoopsummit week in the books. Game was great, and as always got a lot from the practices. Did a breakdown of every player on USA and World at practice, what they bring to the table. Also some standout Portland Generals. Check it out @NetScouts.

Cade Cunningham on being ineligible for awards: "It's tough for me right now this year because I think I did a lot of work to be in consideration for awards and all-NBA and all that stuff. I'm in a tough spot but I think it'll all play out how it's supposed to play out."

@StephenGHoops @NBADraftMikeyV @NetScouts @carlberman @jkylemann @MotorCityHoops @ChadMart1 @samyip__ @libaanstar1 @NoCeilingsNBA It’ll be a lil get together next week, ill see you guys there

On latest @HoopsHype Around The Beat, @samyip__ & I are joined by @highkin of Rose Garden Report to discuss everything in Portland, $100K tampering fine, what new ownership means for Hansen Yang, Scoot & Shaedon's futures & the Chauncey Billups legal saga: hoopshype.com/story/sports/n…

Jalen Suggs: “I know it's been frustrating, I know it's been a tough year. All y'all, we truly need you guys down the stretch … I promise we're working. None of us here have given up (or) waved any white flag."

Cooper Flagg on his 96-point weekend: "I think it's definitely some sort of a statement. I'm confident in myself and I know what I'm capable of and I'll just let the rest of the stuff figure itself out." Rookie of the Year or not?

@ShamsCharania @mcten

After consultation with Lakers doctors and his own medical team, Luka Doncic will seek specialized medical treatment in Europe on his Grade 2 left hamstring in an attempt to expedite his return to play, agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball tells me and @mcten.

Kings' Maxime Raynaud: "I do think I'm the best big in the rookie class… There was one player in college basketball averaging 20 and 10 last year.” Rudy Gobert legit might not make the next French Olympic team at this rate.

Cooper Flagg on being the youngest player to score 50-plus in an NBA game: "It just speaks to who I am... and just the improvement. Grinding, getting better all year long."
