Victor Wembanyama’s agent met with Rob Pelinka last summer to learn how Kobe Bryant mentally prepared himself, per @ramonashelburne. “One summer Bryant had become obsessed with studying how great white sharks hunt and attack their prey. So it became Pelinka's job to find him the best place in the world to do that -- which is apparently Guadalupe, an island 150 miles off the coast of Baja, Mexico, where you can go cage diving in the crystal-clear waters. Bryant would later write in The Players' Tribune in 2017 that his study of great whites helped him defend Allen Iverson.”

Nick Wright on what the Thompson twins need to do this offseason: “It’s not an exaggeration to say for the Thompson twins, if they move this summer together along with a shooting coach to Rural Iowa, lock themselves in a gym, and come back next year. Both of them with just capable corner three jumpers or corner three shots and one or two spots in the mid-range that they’re comfortable at. That could be cumulatively for the two of them worth $1 billion.” (Via @WhatsWrightShow)
