With LeBron James & Lakers in Miami today, looked back on the Heat's incredible 27-game win streak that was maybe the peak of the Heatles era. What a remarkable and sometimes crazy time that was with some forgotten stories: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Zydrunas Ilgauskas That guy rocked.

Congrats @Eric_Haut_USU

Matthew Dellavedova That guy rocked.

Interesting case study here. Dave elects to promote his work straight-forward, without including the obvious quote in the article that would/has gone instantly viral. Aggregator, on the right, publishes the quote standalone without any additional context (or link to story). Look at the engagement scoreboard*, for two accounts with plenty of followers each. *Aggregator did get a 50-minute head start.

“Basketball language is like a different language.” English is the second (or third or fourth) language for a lot of NBA players, and I always wondered which language those guys used to think the game. So we asked. ESPN story: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@WorldWideWob The best dog in the league

What in the NBA League Pass just happened

New story: LeBron says his best season was 2017-18 in his farewell to Cleveland. There was chaos, there was greatness. And there were parallels to ‘25-26 espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Luke Paul – Australia’s top 2009-born NBA prospect – has signed a multi-year deal with the NBL’s Next Stars program, he told ESPN. The 6’6 point guard will join a team for the 2026-27 NBL season. “It’s a proven pathway to get to the NBA,” Paul told ESPN. espn.com.au/nbl/story/_/id…

One can never have too much Omaha in life

New ESPN story: When DeMarcus Cousins was ejected from a game in Puerto Rico back in June, few noticed Danilo Gallinari in the background. Why did Gallinari, who retired Tuesday, finish his career there after 16 NBA seasons? “Pure love for basketball.” espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Congrats to Jamier and Ohio's elite high school athletes. That it took a lawsuit to make this finally happen is a shame for the OHSAA.

When I went to a 76ers practice earlier this season I saw something I'd never seen before: the team DJ playing a role like an assistant coach. Really enjoyed telling this story about Philly's DJ Ghost: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…
