ICYMI: I rapped about the #LakeShow WATCH to get hyped! #GameDay

@EricPincus @kylekuzma Of all people, @EricPincus knows the cap and economics better than anyone.

@kylekuzma Happy to sit down for a conversation. You touch on real issues but how many teams have avoided tax like a hard cap? Quite a few. Also, I want you to get as close to 100% of your contract, but last few years, you're getting 91-95%, which, I don't have to tell you, sux

After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it.... The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement. Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place. This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight. The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside. Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue. The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us. This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.

What if LeBron signs with the @Lakers for the minimum after seeing everyone they got 🤣

The homie @e85___ said “The Minneapolis Lakers are back!” 🤣🤣🤣

Congrats, Knicks!!! Well deserved

He didn't break the law out of greed. He broke it out of love. Standing in court, head in his hands, shivering in an orange jumpsuit, he looked like just another criminal facing fraud charges. But the file on the judge's desk told a different story. He'd written a bad check for thousands of dollars. Not for a new car or a vacation, but at a pharmacy counter. When the insurance company denied his mother's life-saving medication, panic took over. He knew the check would bounce, but he also knew it was the only way to get the medicine she needed to survive the week. Now, he faced prison time for that desperation. And as he stood there weeping, his only thought wasn't about jail, but about who would take care of her if he was gone. He braced himself for sentencing. But the judge didn't bring down his gavel. In a moment that stunned the entire room, she stood, leaned across the bench, and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't see a con artist; she saw a loving son pushed to the brink. Holding his face in her hands, she looked him in the eye and delivered the life-changing verdict: 'It's over. I'm dropping the charges. You deserve a second chance, and I believe you can take advantage of it.' She didn't just give him back his freedom; she gave him the challenge of going home, taking care of his family, and making this mercy matter. Sometimes, justice isn't just about punishment. It's about understanding. Do you think the judge made the right decision by looking at the 'why' instead of just the 'what'?

What’s the biggest I’m HIM moment in sports history ?

WOW!!!

This Robert Horry hit Kobe on this DEEP outlet pass to Kobe in 2003 👀

@FastbreakHoops5 Stuffed his stocking with coal for Christmas lol

Kobe Bryant with a NASTY poster on Christmas Day 1999 😳

@iambryann01 @FearedBuck This is as ridiculous as asking if LeBron is the Jordan of our time. No. Not even in the same stratosphere.

@FearedBuck Is he the Micheal of our time??

Drake wearing the same gloves Michael Jackson wore.

AUSTIN REAVES JUST DID THE MOST INSANE MOVE IN NBA HISTORY WTFFFF 🤯🤯🤯

Marcus Genius!

Marcus Intelligent #LakeShow

@VinnysCorner1 Arguably the best highlight reel in NBA history. People not ready for that conversation tho.

If someone offered you $5 million to watch one players' highlights for 72 hours straight, who would you choose?

@FastbreakHoops5 Kobe elbowed Barnes on the first play and took 2 jabs on the second one without getting caught, and made MB look like he initiated it. He was notorious for doing stuff like that to piss off his opponent 🤣

This Kobe and Matt Barnes moment 👀

Steph Curry admits he was “kinda mad” missing Kobe Bryant’s final game for the Warriors’ 73rd win: “I was kinda mad. Because I wanted to watch Kobe’s last game. We knew what was at stake, but I wanted to watch … I really wanted to watch Kob’s last game. Then, when I got out, I heard what happened on the other side. I was like, “Oh my goodness. He scored 60? So I was excited, but also as a basketball fan, I felt like I got gypped at the same time. A great experience, though, for sure.” (Via @NickFriedell)

25 years ago today, Larry David tripped Shaq sitting courtside. 😂
