Dennis Rodman played in 911 games in his NBA career, and won 636 of them. That's a winning percentage of 70%. In those 911 games, Rodman scored more than 20 points exactly 11 times. Being incredible in your role is more important than being the scoring star. Always.

I'll say this: I don't see the vision, short or long term, for the Timberwolves.

Luka needs to pull every trick in the book out to get a tough 12-foot, off-balance floater against a switch versus a defender from the Beijing Ducks And some people think the Hawks made a mistake?? Holy shit people...

Wow, I bet he sure feels like an idiot for skipping out on those games he was playing in for free in college... Surely going to have a long-standing impact on his professional career. Surely.

Acting like Kyrie doesn’t have valid points is only making Kyrie’s points more valid

Kobe wasn't along for the ride for the first three rings, he had fantastic contributions in the postseason because (surprise!) it's hard to run a crunch time offense through a player who can't make free throws. And to say Pau or Bynum won the other two is just indefensible.

This is literally the team. One star. Two very dependable starters. One all rim protection, no offense big. One inefficient, loose cannon. Four players off the bench who were decidedly ineffective. This team had no spacing, little offensive punch, and took LeBron to 7.

People aren't taking the time to even figure out what the WNBPA is asking for, and that's sad. They only want an equal share of the league revenue as the NBA players get.

Shocking the difference in basketball leagues' response to COVID-19. The NBA, who is invested financially in their players, cancels the moment they have a player infected. The NCAA, who don't invest in their players and earns $770 million by having March Madness, opts to play.

In the three years since KD joined the Nets, Brooklyn has made an average of nearly $250 million in revenue a year. If they’re the “losers” in all of this, that’s a joke. They still get to keep all that money AND get a trade haul for KD if this goes south.

You have Al Horford on an Island, down two, and you choose to pull up from three as a 32% career three-point shooter..? C'mon... I don't ever want to hear anybody ever say analytics is the problem in basketball. Analytics would NEVER say to take that shot there.
