The 48 Minutes "Weekend Preview" from @BleavNetwork is live. I'm joined by @worldbfreer as we preview these gms: -Fri: @ATLHawks vs @celtics -Sat: @DetroitPistons vs @Timberwolves -Sun: @nyknicks vs @okcthunder -Plus a special college/@NBA segment podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wee…

@PeterVecsey1 @paulieknep @podoffame @Giannis_An34 From yahoo sports: Larry Bird frequently hailed Dennis Johnson as the best teammate he ever played with, calling him the crucial missing piece of the 1980s Celtics dynasty. Bird lauded DJ's exceptional defensive prowess, clutch shooting, and high basketball IQ.

@PureHoops_Bruce @paulieknep @podoffame @Giannis_An34 Never said that. Correct the ‘quote’!!!!

Is Jrue Holiday a Hall of Famer? Also, who's a good comparison? Bob Dandridge comes to mind. Different players but both were third options on two different championship teams, great defenders, and versatile glue guys who could fit in on any squad. @podoffame @PeterVecsey1 (1)

@PeterVecsey1 @paulieknep @podoffame @Giannis_An34 Was it close to accurate? I thought I read it multiple times.

@PeterVecsey1 @zzeker @samnewkirk64 @sjsopm @BusterMcnamara1 @paulieknep @podoffame Every time I watch a game, the gambling info is overwhelming. I don't gamble and I don't care. Hopefully there will come a time of reckoning for the leagues and the broadcasters, but I fear it's a long way off. Our podcast was once affiliated w/a sports book, but no more.

@zzeker @samnewkirk64 @sjsopm @BusterMcnamara1 @paulieknep @podoffame I have nothing but negative things to say about sports gambling!!

@MediaSOI You just gained one back

I lost 63 followers for supporting Jewish people Fuck em

@NoaMagid Hi

Visibility has dropped lately, likely due to mass reporting by terror supporters. If my updates matter to you, drop a "hi" - it helps keep this content in your feed. Thank you. 🇮🇱

@ShamsCharania I said on the "must listen" 48 Minutes podcast that the number should be 62, not 65. 62 gms represents 75.6% of a team's regular season games. If someone plays three quarters of the season but not 79.2% (65 gms), that should be enough to qualify. Easy fix for the NBAPA & /NBA

Cade Cunningham's agent, Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports, to ESPN: "Cade has delivered a first-team All-NBA season. If he falls just short of an arbitrary games-played threshold due to legitimate injury, it should not disqualify him from recognition he has clearly earned over the course of the season. The league should be rewarding excellence, not enforcing rigid cutoffs that ignore context. An exception needs to be made." More here: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@PeterVecsey1 @DavidTo30200800 Bob Hill was not available for comment ...

@DavidTo30200800 At a playoff press conference, Pope Pop mocked my four Rucker coaching titles in six summers. Told him, had I coached Duncan, I would have won as many nba titles as he had.

Wemby’s Spurs are playing such championship contending basketball, Mitch Johnson should worry Gregg Popovich will replace him as coach…

The new "48 Minutes" from @BleavNetwork is live. Along with @worldbfreer we do a deep dive on the @hornets w/@NickCarboniWCNC. -Is @Kon2Knueppel the top @NBA rookie? -Can they make noise in the playoffs? -The new LaMelo Ball -Plus league-wide hot topics podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/48-…

@OleTimeHardball Ted Williams

You can watch one player play one game, in his prime. Who gets the nod? 1. Babe Ruth 2. Lou Gehrig 3. Ty Cobb 4. Willie Mays 5. Henry Aaron 6. Mickey Mantle 7. Sandy Koufax 8. Bob Gibson 9. Satchel Paige 10. Write in a player

@Jumpshot8 I'm surprised they left off Ben Wallace and Chris Dudley

What’s your address, so I can have you brought up on charges. The order is egregious and just omitting Larry Joe Bird is Waterboy like!

@judeangeneral2 @MorEdge_Insight @piersmorgan I blocked Piers because his garbage kept showing up on my feed even though I never followed him. His regular guests like Chunk and Eva Braun are putrid

@MorEdge_Insight @piersmorgan Piers is a jihadist platforming spectacle pretending to be neutral . He blocked me for calling him out for disrespecting a great account against antisemitism.

What are you so worried about, @piersmorgan? According to you and your never ending lineup of rabid Jew haters, Israel is always to blame. Why don’t you bring on chunky Cenk, screaming Ana and doofus Dave again. They can make you feel all fuzzy and warm.

The 48 Minutes weekend preview from @BleavNetwork is live. My guys @RossGeiger & @worldbfreer preview these matchups: -Fri: @ATLHawks vs @HoustonRockets -Sat: @Lakers vs @OrlandoMagic -Sun: @Timberwolves vs @celtics Plus "Word Association" on 5 teams podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@VividProwess 🖐️

Raise your hand if you proudly support Israel. 🖐️ Let's break the fucking internet.

The new "48 Minutes" from @BleavNetwork is live with @RossGeiger & @worldbfreer. The guys dive into these topics: -@BamAdebayo and his "controversial" 83 point explosion -Streaking @nba teams -Implications of league expansion -And so much more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bam…

@worldbfreer @theblockspot I feel like @KingJames is the best all around player ever, but while @Jumpman23 is seen by more people as the GOAT, there is a very strong case for @kaj33 as well. Bottom line is this: some discussions can never be settled.

@theblockspot Yeah, and one of them is me. I’m fine if fans think LeBron is the best ever. My friend and podcast co-host @PureHoops_Bruce feels the same way. But this idea that anything doesn’t think LeBron is No. 1 doesn’t know basketball is beyond juvenile.

People will tell you with a straight face that LeBron James is not the greatest basketball player to ever live.

@PeterVecsey1 @jebrunsman @koppa34 @xgothamite then 27 teams can pass on Zach Lavine in the dispersal draft

@jebrunsman @koppa34 @xgothamite The NBA should combine the Kings, Nets and Wizards. And then fold the franchise!

How does someone who anoints himself ‘The Truth’ plead so often for the refs to bail himself out? Memo to Edwards and Paul Pierce: Walter Berry was ‘The Truth’!!! Plagiarizing a hand-me-down nickname is embarrassing…

@awfulannouncing Remember when similar shenanigans cost Shaq a scoring title? poundingtherock.com/2023/4/24/2369…

Shaq on Bam Adebayo: "To all the little kids out there, if you've got a chance to break a record, your high school record, and you got a chance to make history, go for it. I'm glad he went for it. I'm glad he got the 83. And I'm happy for Bam." #NBA

@TheFrankIsola Shenanigans like that are nothing new ... I remember when the Spurs did something like it to help The Admiral win a scoring title ... poundingtherock.com/2023/4/24/2369…

Bam is terrific. One of the more likable players in the league. Didn’t like the last six minutes of his 83-point game. Both things can be true.
