CJ McCollum was underrated in Canton. CJ McCollum was underrated at Lehigh. CJ McCollum was underrated in Portland. CJ McCollum was underrated in NOLA. CJ McCollum was underrated in DC. CJ McCollum is underrated in Atlanta. The man just took over MSG. Wake up.

@NekiasNBA @stevejones20 It’s not fair.

@stevejones20 They may actually have to win 70 at this point lol

All three have tremendous, well-deserved cases. There can only be three. But man, I feel like the Daigneault case is gonna be lost in history.

@KeithSmithNBA Love it!

Watched Pelicans-Jazz this morning: 🏀Jeremiah Fears looked good. Thought he was competitive on defense, poised on offense and I loved the way he got on the glass. 🏀A lot off good playmaking stuff from Herb Jones! 🏀Elijah Harkless can play. I think he could be an NBA backup PG.

OKC declined Ajay Mitchell’s contract option in the summer to restructure him a new three year deal worth more guaranteed money, and a team option on the backend in year 3. Looks like the belief from Presti and his staff paid off.

Congratulations to Adrian Wojnarowski for receiving the Curt Gowdy Insight Award. #GowdyAward

@NBA_University In the post 1970s era, it seems repetitive that aside from LeBron and AI, that the team with the biggest singular consistent offensive scoring threat, is the one that wins the title. Pre 1980s seems polar opposite to that.

Most PPG in an NBA Finals + Relative True Shooting % What stands out?

@TJSaint4 @StevenTheGM @GleagueSquadron The best

Steven @StevenTheGM has one of the highest work ethics I’ve ever been around and really puts a ton of thought into team building. He has been a HUGE part of our @GleagueSquadron culture & staff since Day 1. This is a must-attend. #SquadUp

Only 10 times in NBA history has a player had 40 points with 8 threes in back to back games. Trey Murphy does it for the first time since 2021
