@RoyalAShepherd Herro being paid as a 3rd option and Bam being dealt at his peak value to flip for another scorer or draft capital in pursuit of another star would’ve been better IMO. Especially with the league catering towards cheaper defensive minded rim run bigs

@nbaplayer1012 Brother, no it wasn’t. It was Tyler and Duncan for Harden that was proposed after the bubble. They weren’t going to invest anything in a Meyers Leonard/Kelly Olynyk frontcourt.

Miami’s downfall is literally tied to their loyalty to Tyler Herro. In this season alone: He disrupted a hot early season start Caused them to bench an all star Forced Ware and Pelle Larson out of the starting lineup impacting development Confirmed he can’t stay healthy

@llspida @WadexFlash Nah I just think we made the colossal mistake of not trading Bam post bubble for a playmaker / picks.. the guy never flashed true #2 potential, add the fact that we overpaid Herro. We rather develop undrafted talent then take swings smh

@WadexFlash This mf also the reason people still think Spo is a good coach, he gotta go too, retire old man

LeBron James credits Erik Spoelstra for making them better after the 2011 NBA Finals loss: “Obviously my first year there — played great basketball, got all the way to the Finals and lost in the Finals. I played like sh*t. Spo is the reason why we we’re a better team…when we lost to Dallas — that summer Spo went to Oregon and learned the spread offense…when he came back to us he knew in order for us to reach our potential — I had to be f*cking 10x better than I was in that previous June and Chris Bosh had to go to the 5. And CB being who he is — there was no pushback…Spo knew it, he had that vision….he came back with vengeance and I was locked TF in from start to finish…” (via @mindthegamepod)

Wireless Festival is standing by Ye as the festival’s headliner 🚨 Melvin Benn, Managing Director of Festival Republic, which organizes Wireless Festival, has made a statement: "I am a deeply committed anti-fascist and have been all my adult life. I lived on a kibbutz for many months in the 1970’s that was attacked on October 7th, am pro Jew and the Jewish state, while being equally committed to a Palestinian state.  "Having had a person in my life for the last 15 years who suffers from mental illness, I have witnessed many episodes of despicable behaviour that I have had to forgive and move on from. If I wasn’t before, I have become a person of forgiveness and hope in all aspects of my life, including work. "What Ye has said in the past about Jews and Hitler is as abhorrent to me as it is to the Jewish community, the Prime Minister and others that have commented and - taking him at his word - to Ye now also.  "Ye’s music is played on commercial radio stations in this country. It is available via live streams and downloads in this country without comment or vitriol from anyone and he has a legal right to come into the country and to perform in this country. He is intended to come in and perform. We are not giving him a platform to extol opinion of whatever nature, only to perform the songs that are currently played on the radio stations in our country and the streaming platforms in our country and listened to and enjoyed by millions.  "Forgiveness and giving people a second chance are becoming a lost virtue in this ever-increasing divisive world and I would ask people to reflect on their instant comments of disgust at the likelihood of him performing (as was mine) and offer some forgiveness and hope to him as I have decided to do"

@KlutzGPT Increased pace of play has lead to more possessions, increasing stat output. Not downing LeBron but the average pace of play difference between 2000-2010 vs 2017-today is about 7 to 10 possessions/gm, still comical?

Bro this is crazy Please debate this shit so I can laugh

On this day, Walter Clayton Jr put together one of the BEST performances in Final Four history vs #1 overall seed Auburn 🐊 34 Points 11/18 FG 5/8 3PT 7/7 FT 4 Rebounds 2 Assists GENERATIONAL PERFORMANCE.

@LukaUpdates Unfortunately Adam Silver has been caught on his knees far too often accommodating players. He literally has to hold the fort on this not because he wants to, but because you could have a legit argument he serves no purpose and is just a pawn for the players

“It’s a birth of his child, it’s not an injury, it’s not load management. This is the birth of his child. Where you gotta fly to another country. I’m sure the league is gonna do right by that” - Tracy McGrady “This is the international players. If they need to get back to go take care of family matters and they missing games they shouldn’t be penalized for that.” - Carmelo Anthony Both agree Luka should be eligible for end-of season awards 🔥

@NFL_Convo Or it’s telling us what they think about the O-line? It’s essentially a one year trial run that allows Fernando to build great habits, ask questions and stay fresh while they retool the pieces around him, Kirk is more prepared to deal with instability than him day 1

The Raiders planning to start Cousins over Mendoza should tell you exactly how they feel about Mendoza In no world should the 1st Overall pick backup a 37 year old washed QB while they are in rebuild mode

Matthew 7:3-5 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” I am so grateful for my salvation through Jesus Christ. God has blessed me in so many ways. I’m thankful that Jaden Ivey is feeling such fervor for the Lord, however we as Christians need to be deliberate in how we work to bring others to faith. We should want to share the Gospel through love, not confrontation. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. It’s important for all to know that each individual — not just one subgroup — of humanity sins daily. That’s the beauty in Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. We ought to show love and care for those around us as we are not the Judge. These conversations need to stem from care and with genuine love at the core of the discussion.

@NFL_DovKleiman Thankful. Fans need to hear this more often to set proper expectations. It’s important to give the process time to develop. As talent emerges over the next few seasons we can capitalize on the regained cap space to fill in roster needs as is the new norm w/great franchises

Wow: Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan explains why the team traded away star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. "We have to get younger and cheaper. Jaylen is 27 years old, and he's going to want a new contract. The WR market is going up. We get to put two players on rookie contracts. I felt like it was a win for both teams." It's so cool to see this type of transparency 👀

@jemelehill what’s really going on. Y’all sold out for the folks cashing checks and that’s fine. He’s giving God the glory and he should understand things may happen like this for that reason. Until you become a threat to that certain group everything else can fly tbh

@jemelehill Until you and every single media head address the real issue: which is the religion of many of these owners you’re just going to continue parroting some nonsense narratives. Who is known for spreading that agenda historically? In today’s geopolitical climate it’s not hard to see

The people rallying behind Jaden Ivey claiming he’s being persecuted must have forgotten about the Orlando Magic’s Jonathan Isaac, who is anti-BLM, didn’t stand for the national anthem when his teammates took a knee, developed a clothing line that he said was an alternative to “woke” companies like Nike (his words), publicly criticized the White House under Joe Biden for Transgender Visibility Day and even spoke at Charlie Kirk’s Believer’ Summit. Still cashing NBA checks.

@JINVISIBLEWOMAN Ma’am look up the religion of the owner, shoot even the commissioner — we’ve still got work to do folks. Gotta open your eyes to the situation at hand… understand WHO is calling the shots in this country… look at the geopolitical scene currently… imma just leave it there.

Unpopular opinion… I might lose followers for this. Why does one group get a whole MONTH… when everyone else gets a DAY? Even Jesus gets one day. I’m with Jaden Ivey on this one. Say it. Don’t say it. But a lot of people are thinking it. We need to be loud and stand with Jaden!

@Jacobtheclipper I understand calling others out, but without acknowledging his own imperfections or his journey he isn’t being as effective a messenger for the kingdom as he could be. One ounce of humility and transparency could change everything.

@Jacobtheclipper I don’t think it’s that at all. The great commission is importantly — YES! But whether you plant the seed or harvest it, the most important factor is HOW one shares the news. We’re all imperfect — right now ppl see him projecting a holier than thou image

“Jaden Ivey should not have called people sinners and been so hateful.” -The push back on here Some of the IG comments I don’t think he did it in the best manner, but I know he has good intentions. If you are a follower of Jesus, you are called to preach the gospel (the good news of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and bringing us restoration to God) The gospel says ALL men are sinners and NEED a Savior- that Savior is Jesus. This includes Jaden, this includes myself! Now, if you see a man in a burning building, unaware the building is on fire, and you walk past without alerting him, are you a good person? Of course not, I would argue you are an evil person. Ivey and EVERY Christian, if you believe what Jesus taught, should tell everyone the gospel message. If we don’t, then we are hateful. The gospel is GOOD news that saves someone from an eternity away from God (Hell), which is torture because all good things come from God and we are designed to be near Him in Heaven. Don’t let people spin this and call a man trying to help people and save people as evil. Listen to his own words, his message was always rooted in love 🙏🏻

@BiasedHouston No disrespect to Giannis but the team needs more perimeter shooting and playmaking. Quentin Grimes, Dosunmu, Coby White, Norman Powell, Luke Kennard, etc. Mitchell Robinson would be an elite snipe from NY

I actually think the Bucks lose this trade, they could extract so much more from the Rockets in the scenario Houston wanted Giannis. I just think this trade does nothing to actually solve the problems of the team while killing the outlook of the team. We lose now and later.

@BGNHoops That small ball rockets team with Covington Tucker and that crew was one of my favorite teams to watch.. they gang rebounded and played great help defense.. Russ and Harden meant fast breaks would always be a good time!

Rockets Russ was special

@FT_Merchant05 He can play make though.. when doubled he’s had no issue swinging the rock or making the drip off pass. He’s also been willing to get the ball of actions and initiate offense there vs needing to set the table every time

An undersized score-first guard who cannot defend and claimed to be a T5 pick (which he is not) gets a signature shoe cuz people say he’s the modern day AI and Anthony Edwards The internet can really change a persons life

@VictorCroward24 @Quintorris_ Yeah this’ll go over their heads LeBron left a team built to directly support him and amplify his play style. He left when he saw the writing on the wall, similar to MIA MJ left a team built to win games where he put them over the top as contenders similar to OKCs build w/Shai

@Quintorris_ When LeBron left Cleveland, so did Shaq, West, Big Z. Traded Mo midseason. Jamison missed 26, Varejao 51. Team purposely tanked to end the season. When MJ left, they went from nba champion to losing in the 2nd round. But don’t let context get in the way of whatever narrative

MJs Bulls won 57 games then he retired and they won 55 games Bron won 61 with Cleveland, he left for Miami and the Cavs won 19 games the next year How can people genuinely debate who had the bigger impact on winning?

@snelson2127 @barstoolsports Oweh shot one less FT than all of Santa Clara the ENTIRE game.. The loose ball that was fought for b4 Owehs layup to tie the game should’ve been a jump ball but miraculously wasn’t granted since SC had possession

@nbaplayer1012 @barstoolsports Santa Clara could have defended, taken a foul and won

SANTA CLARA. KENTUCKY. THIS IS THE MADNESS!!!!
