I always ask locker room attendants in every NBA city to reveal who the best players are with their tips and their time. And three names are always mentioned: Steph Curry, Draymond Green ... and Russell Westbrook.
This is why you never ever question an athlete's injury, as many did Kawhi Leonard and now Kevin Durant. You think KD wanted to sit out the Finals? Props for him for trying. Took guts.
If the Clippers are tired after playing every other night for almost a month, it's because they fell 0-2 twice in the first two rounds and didn't take care of their biz.
We can choose what we have to remember 20 years ago, or what we want to remember. Thanks to Michael Jordan and everyone who made it easier for my family.
You wanna knock Jamal Crawford's defense at age 39, fine. But if Melo had scored 51 in the final game last season and was still at home, NBA twitter would burn.
Remember, all decisions regarding length of the NBA schedule and when it began and ended were made in collaboration between the league and the union, just fyi.
I'm not saying the Nets must be transparent when making a coaching change, but there's more to the firing of Kenny Atkinson than they're willing to tell.
In 1981 Moses Malone carried Old Rudy T, Old Calvin Murphy, Billy Paultz, Robert Reid, Tom Henderson. Beat Magic and Kareem 1st round. Took two from Bird in the Finals. But this was before social media so who cares.

That's why the stadium should've never been built there. Better solution was keep the original Hayward, put "Nike Stadium" in an easier to reach place to grow the sport.
164 players suited up for the Spurs since the 1997-98 season and contributed to San Antonio's Playoff streak.
From Tim Duncan, who played 56,736 minutes, to Alex Scales, who played 9 seconds.
David Stern also prioritized diversity away from the court. People of color and women found work in all facets of basketball. NBA was light years ahead of other pro leagues.
The NFL and NBA drafts always get the instant verdict. Like folks have a crystal ball. Reality is this: We have no idea how these players will pan out and neither do the teams that took them. But go ahead and draw your conclusions anyway.
