Aron Baynes working out in Las Vegas for a gym full of NBA GMs and scouts (as well as Josh Giddey). Baynes thanked everyone for coming and spoke about feeling excited to be back on the court.
What the

. Nothing but admiration. They represent everything that’s great about sport.
“A win is always better than individual stats. If I have zero-zero-zero and we win, it's always better than if I have a triple-double and lose.''
That was Josh Giddey after becoming the youngest player in NBA history to record a trip-dub. Parents: read this quote to your kids.
HOW GOOD!? 🍿🍿
Josh Giddey put in a career-high performance in the OT win over the Knicks and broke records in the process.
Watch the big moments from the game as the OKC rookie became the youngest player in NBA history with a 25-point triple-double.
Unbelievably proud of the 🇦🇺 Boomers’ efforts over the course of this campaign. The highs have been exhilarating but man, the past 48 hours have been utterly gut-wrenching. 😔
Craig Randall II (

player in an

Game of the season. No doubt about it. No crowd to bring the atmosphere but that was just an unbelievable display of

talent doing incredible things. Bravo

“RJ looks good. I watched some film on him this summer after the trade happened and I saw this was on the pre-season schedule. He’s very talented and I see why all the scouts and GMs came to see him play.” –

Such incredible strength and courage. You are setting a wonderful example, Isaac, for so many people.
Your message that “you can be whatever you want, no matter who you are or what you do” is tremendously powerful. Much love and respect.
me: who do you want to win the title?
my son: sydney. I just think the jackjumpers need to know that you can’t come in straight away and win a championship. It doesn’t work like that.
🤣
Outstanding performance from
@JockLandale
today on his birthday. 17pts, 7rebs & 2blks (+27) in a win over GSW. He was a real difference-maker.

Everywhere I’ve gone in 🇺🇸 this month,
@NBA
coaches have been saying this type of thing. They love playing
@NBL
teams in pre-season because they respect our players and admire how well they compete. Most of all, though, they respect our coaches.
#NBLxNBA
Just got a text: “I’m thinking about the Tassie fans who were devastated when the Devils got their MARCHing orders in ‘96… now the ultimate prize is within their reach. Some will be sitting in the crowd at GF G2 with their own kids & a tear in their eye.”

You've got 36 problems, and a Mitch is one.
