@LegionHoops Looks like a toupee

Luka Doncic with a new look 👀

@SirRobertBuford @KalshiHoops @TKOstorm7 This CBA was inherited from CP3 leadership where their ultimate goal was to get the superstars supermax money. Now we're seeing the repercussions of it. They weren't morons by any means. They knew full well what they were doing. CJ gets the blame for it but we all know the truth.

@KalshiHoops @TKOstorm7 So, should we assume the Players Association is filled with a bunch of morons? The current CBA was ratified on April 26, 2023. It took Wemby taking less money for them to realize how problematic the 2nd apron was? They couldn’t do basic math for the last 3 yrs? SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️

The NBPA is preparing to fight back hard against the second apron, especially now with the news of Wembanyama passing up on the supermax to help the Spurs try to keep its roster together long-term. “(The CBA) should not put a player in a position where he has to carry the burden in order to keep a team together. A system that does that, we have a problem," per @JaredWeissNBA.

@ShamsCharania So his uncle gonna be the fall guy in that fiasco in LA 🤣🤣🤣

Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors are expected to start extension talks this week -- and the two-time Finals MVP will do so with new representation. Leonard has hired Harrison Gaines, Esq. of SLASH Sports as his new agent. ESPN Story: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@CadesAttorney @Swis808 A lot of good teams, no great teams. Difference.

@Swis808 Nobody has gone b2b because a lot of teams are good lol

This the same drive and kick that Kobe said was mistake basketball

@Mciza6 @jsheiejdhtitkdb @ShamsCharania Allen is not 26

@jsheiejdhtitkdb @ShamsCharania Define young. Mobley is 24, allen is 26. Thats your core right there

Just in on NBA Today -- Kenny Atkinson is returning as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers for a third season:

@DonMike_X @TheDunkCentral @JakeLFischer They knew last szn was sheer luck. Same with that 2000 szn finals run. Never gonna happen again for awhile so why bother spending too much money.

@TheDunkCentral @JakeLFischer So let me get this straight: Tyrese Haliburton leaves, Myles Turner leaves, and now Mathurin’s on the back burner? Indiana, y’all allergic to building a contender or what?

The Indiana Pacers are unlikely to sign Bennedict Mathurin to an extension, per @JakeLFischer “Another 2022 first-round pick who appears unlikely to land a new deal by Monday night: Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin. Yet that should really come as no surprise given the Pacers' uncertain present minus the out-for-the-season Tyrese Haliburton. If Indiana was reluctant to commit long-term money to the since-departed Myles Turnerearlier this summer, Mathurin will almost certainly have to wait.” (Via substack.com/redirect/2/eyJ…)

@alanmndozaa @ballknowe @LegionHoops NFL has 270 regular szn games in a season. NBA has 1230. There is a reason kids buy sneakers, not cleats.

@ballknowe @LegionHoops the average giants game gets more viewership than an nba finals game

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell: “We [the NFL] are not competing with the NBA… our competitors are Apple and Google.” 😳 (via PFT)

@NateDuncanNBA One had Kobe, the other two had Lebron. Pacers got McConnell. Relax.

Teams down 3-2 that won Game 6 of NBA Finals (last 20 years): 2025 Pacers 2016 Cavaliers* 2013 Heat* 2010 Lakers* *Won Game 7

@twowayshai @ShamsCharania Yea all ten of them

@ShamsCharania Real basketball fans will watch

NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder-Indiana Pacers. Game 1: Thursday June 5, 8:30 pm ET on ABC.

@BricksCenter @theantedwards_

ANT when the Suns got blown out in Game 7: "This is a disgrace. Y'all got 30 points in the 3rd quarter" 😭😭😭

@33643pts Harden had a significantly worse hamstring injury and still played 50 mins. Curry have always been soft. He knew they weren't gonna win even if he was there after game 3.

I lost a lot of respect for him for not giving it a go this series through the injury

@KingJames @mindthegamepod Retirement annoucement when unc?

Hali fkn hooping!!!! Where the lames who said he was overrated??!! Quiet as hell. That boy NICE and even more someone everyone would love to play with! 🧠 🏀 @mindthegamepod

@JazzePinkman All they do is suck up the money from the tv deals the NBA give them while the big market teams carry the heavy load. Don't get it twisted.

@JazzePinkman Indiana, Cleveland, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Denver. 5/8 remaining in the playoffs are small market teams. Don't equate small market teams to horrendously ran franchises. Those tanking poverty franchises deserve all the shit they get.

No league hates their small market teams quite like the NBA

@BurstWango @Dejota_SPS @BleacherReport Wrong yt girl there bud

@Dejota_SPS @BleacherReport Not if Jalen Suggs has anything to say about that

Dallas won No. 1 picks in the NBA & WNBA in the SAME YEAR 🤯 WHAT A TIME TO BE A DALLAS FAN 🙌

@TheDunkCentral "If"?!?!?! What the fuck will he be doing instead of playing next szn? Mfer said if as if the man is contemplating retirement. He not 40 goddamn!

Daryl Morey expects Joel Embiid to play at an MVP level IF he comes back “If Joel comes back—it’s going to be at a very high level. I actually don’t see a scenario where he’s fading. (…) I understand that wasn’t his best year. My point is different though. My point is—I see him playing at a high level, and that’s so important to him that he will either get himself there or not. That’s my feeling. I think he views himself—correctly—as an MVP-level guy.” (Via buff.ly/tVhBQSY)

@ESPNNBA Man really thought we forgot who he really was just cause of two lucky shots

Rough outing for Hali in Game 3.

@HoopMixOnly Yall said the same thing about Jalen Green after gm 2 and he stunk like a gas station bathroom the rest of the goddamn series

Not going to say who this looks like But everyone sees it

@RustyBUCKETS321 All-NBA*

Aaron Gordon has been playing like an all-star in these playoffs man

@getnickwright Not Indy nor the Wolves. The other 6, yeah.

What a win by Denver, and what an incredible Round 2. If you squint hard enough, you can make a case for *all 8 teams left* to win the championship. It’s truly remarkable.
