Parody account honoring Drazen Petrovic




On this date in 1969, the Milwaukee Bucks signed No. 1 NBA Draft pick Lew Alcindor, who was also drafted by the New York Nets in the 1969 ABA draft 🏀 Alcindor, later Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, went on to have one of the most prolific careers in NBA history 🏆

If Brooklyn doesn’t land top-4 in the Draft Lottery, this is truly the unluckiest franchise in the sport, historically speaking. • Drafted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar only for him to choose to sign with Milwaukee • Had to forfeit Julius Erving as an entry fee of sorts to transition from the ABA to NBA. • Drazen Petrovic tragedy • Kobe Bryant draft fiasco • 12-70 -> 3rd pick, Favors instead of Wall • Deron Williams’ injuries • Celtics trade, picks don’t slide, Celtics hit on Tatum + Brown • KD/Harden/Kyrie era — injuries, once in a generation pandemic • 2025 pick fell to 8, meanwhile the 2024 traded pick to Houston rose to 3. Brooklyn needs a little luck for a change this Sunday.



The Raptors could consider using Brandon Ingram’s contract in a trade if they could somehow find an upgrade, per @michaelgrange (sportsnet.ca/nba/article/ra…)

BREAKING: The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Masai Ujiri as the franchise's new Team President and Alternate Governor, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Ujiri ran the Toronto Raptors from 2013 to 2025, serving as the architect of the 2019 NBA championship team.
