Its all fun and games with the new anti tanking rules until an elite team decimated by injuries find themselves in the play in then get the number 1 pick.

Steve Kerr compares LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Kerr on LeBron: “More of a holistic game where he dominates with his space and his athleticism and his passing. I think he’s literally the greatest athlete on the face of the planet and in human history.” Kerr on MJ: “The killer instinct, the emotional dominance he had over not only the other team but the officials, the entire arena. I don’t see that with LeBron. Everybody came into a series against Michael knowing they were going to lose.” (via @NewYorker)

If you hit a $10 million slot jackpot in Vegas you should tip the people who provided good service and made the trip fun — cocktail servers, hotel staff, slot attendants, floor staff, dealers if you played tables. Anything between $30,000 and $300K, spread around, is fine.

@WizardsMuse1 If you see that lineup and get excited about 50 wins you’re a sad ass team. That lineup is absurd and 60 wins should be expected if remotely healthy.

THIS STARTING FIVE IS INSANEEE 🔥

@WizardsMuse1 Wizards did quietly put together an insane roster while still putting themselves in position for a top 3 pick

Vlade Divac says he passed on drafting Luka Dončić because he already had a point guard, didn’t want to play him at small forward, and didn’t want a big-name player like Luka in a small market. “All of my assistants told me that he can play small forward, and I said no, no, Luka is a point guard. Luka is a coach on the floor. And I felt that if I get Luka, I would have to trade De’Aaron Fox, and I already got a relationship with Fox, and I see he’s a perfect fit for us, a small market team, and Luka was a big market player.” (Via hoopshype.com/story/sports/n…) “

@calvingonba Lakers ending any chance of getting defensive wings in Luka’s prime if they throw a max at Duren just to get a hopefully have a top 12 center when Luka can make a top 40 center look like a top 15 center.

According to Duke insiders, Duke is trying hard for Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje.

@PolymarketHoops If you wanna win a championship you have to be able to recognize that not every good young player is a max contract guy.

If you’re the Pistons GM and Jalen Duren’s agent is calling about his $240M/5-year max contract extension, what’re you saying?

All the billionaires will leave the state and they’ll lower it to $100M then in 5-10 years they’ll re-implement it for millionaires which are average people in Cali.

The California wealth tax is not on income… It’s 5% of your net worth. It’s state seizure of private assets. This is now on the ballot and likely to pass. Realize where we are.

@DamienPetersNBA Jokic’s “falloff” is just insane numbers with low efficiency while being guarded by a 4x DPOY
English
Is there a possibility that the likes of LeBron, Curry, Durant and Harden have rewired our brain’s interpretation of longevity that Jokic’s potential falloff feels more shocking than it should?
