The Media’s Most Wanted

Jon Scheyer lost both of these games with by far the most talented teams in the country.

Charles Lee has lost me with these rotations lately. Makes no sense to take Kon and Moussa out less than 5 minutes into the game

@bizloanbobby2 @snickers_candee @JaqenJordan @NBA__Courtside And Russ had the single greatest season of all time, to the point where they changed analytics. Specifically your BPM metric

Patrick Beverly says Russell Westbrook is the 2nd best PG of all time behind Steph Curry: “To me he’s the 2nd greatest PG to ever play. You have to put Steph ahead of him obviously because of his shooting ability and championship runs. That’s the only reason, because of chips. You gotta give him his flowers… He played for the Lakers, his hometown team and the love wasn’t there. I think that painted a picture about Russ but anybody who knows Russ, they know. His ability to compete all the time, you never seen anything like that” (Via @patbev21)

Moussa Diabate, Pat Connaughton and Ryan Kalkbrenner walked in wearing Rookie of the Year—I mean, Kon Knueppel—@SLAMonline cover shirts today. 📸

The Charlotte Hornets are fun. The Charlotte Hornets are for real. The Charlotte Hornets believe. And The Hive is absolutely electric. That was some kind of statement making win. A joy to be here for it.

Kon Knueppel now has the most games by a rookie in NBA history with 25+ PTS on 80%+ TS.

« Il m’a énormément appris. En le regardant, je me disais : ‘Oui, je veux être comme ça.’ » Les Hornets affrontaient les Kings cette nuit, l’occasion de retrouvailles entre Moussa Diabaté et Russell Westbrook, qui ont évolué ensemble aux Clippers. Le meneur a été un vétéran important pour le Français. Les deux ont échangé quelques mots. Moussa Diabaté : « C’était mon vétéran. Donc pour moi, c’est un moment un peu particulier, comme une boucle qui se referme. Surtout que je ne jouais pas beaucoup avec les Clippers. J’ai oublié de le lui dire, mais oui, il m’a énormément appris. Surtout quand tu vois la carrière qu’il a eue, et l’énergie qu’il a encore à son âge, c’est fou. Je ne pense pas que les gens s’en rendent compte. Même à l’entraînement… les gens ne le voient pas, mais nous, on le voyait tous les jours quand j’étais encore avec les Clippers. Il avait plus d’énergie que des gars qui venaient juste d’être draftés. C’était hallucinant. Et pour moi, c’était : ‘Mince, moi aussi je veux être comme ça. Il faut que je sois comme ça.’ Surtout en tant que joueur qui se nourrit justement de cette énergie. En le regardant, je me disais : ‘Oui, je veux être comme ça.’ Donc il a fallu que j’apprenne de lui. Je l’observais, je lui posais des questions. Donc oui, dans ce domaine-là, il m’a vraiment beaucoup aidé. »

Thanks Sam Presti

Ryan Gosling gave a shout out to this bakery in Tallahassee for their pop-tarts and now it's flooded with orders

🎙️ Coby White: "I've never been on a team this dangerous." "It could be a back-and-forth game and then you hit one run, and then you look up and you're up 20, and then you're up 30. The main thing for me is, we're explosive, but we're starting to hold those leads when we do get them and continue to build on them. That's the impressive thing for me too." 🎙️ On Moussa Diabate: "He's one of the most unselfish bigs that I've ever played with." "A lot of bigs get an offensive rebound, their first instinct is to go up... his first instinct is to find a shooter. That's huge for us in terms of dagger threes and creating second-chance opportunities. What Moussa does for the team can never go unnoticed."

@FantasyProsNBA @koslow_ari @russwest44 your foot’s fine brodie I’m going to the game tonight 😢

NBA player and #NatGeo33 honoree Russell Westbrook @russwest44 wants to be remembered for giving back to others—but don’t forget his love of music and dancing, too.

@CycloneLarry69 Refs*

His teammates robbing us from an extended run is sickening #FeelsLike44

Do these refs in the BYU Texas game know that you’re not allowed to elbow the other team in the face on purpose

Why is BYU not doing hack-a-Shaq on Vokietaitis

Texas has hit BYU players in the face at least 3 times without getting called for a foul lol including a blatantly intentional elbow to the jaw

Wow. Totally robbed on that goal tend challenge. That ball was clearly still going up!! #BYU #BYUBasketball

BYU getting absolutely hosed by these refs
