#Browns DE Jared Verse on trying to fill the shoes of Myles Garrett:
"I'm not here to fill anyone shoes. Myles he's a size 13, Nikes, whatever they are. I'm a size 13 and half, size 14 Jordans. Everybody's different. I'm not here to fill his shoes. I'm here to bring my own."
Iman Shumpert on Donovan Mitchell & The Cavs Following Game 3 Loss:
“[0:40] When you look at somebody like Donovan Mitchell, you know what he possesses. Score the basketball first but the effort. He is an athlete. You got the nickname Spida Mitchell. I don’t care if you’re tired. I don’t care if you’re banged up. Do it without the mask. Save the bus, save the girl, take the punches, the broken ribs. That’s why you’re Spidaman. When I look at this team, I look at guys that feel like sometimes somebody needs to put them in position, somebody needs to show them the way. No, no, no, no. Half the things that are going on with Cleveland is effort….You have to see these things & say I’m gonna step up & have some pride about it. It’s gotta be a collective because I didn’t see a lot of high fives from the Cavs today. I didn’t see them bringing each other together on the free throw line. The effort. I don’t wanna curse…to give a F [f*ck], to care. It’s nice to care.”

The Guardians made the right choice with the number 1 pick #GuardsBall
Russell Westbrook is reportedly the "kindest teammate" behind the scenes:
- Left an $8k tip for housekeepers in the NBA Bubble
- Gave Capela a luxury bracelet right off his wrist because Capela liked it
- Took Alex Abrines out to dinner when he felt lonely in OKC
- Gave away both cars that he won as a two-time All-Star MVP to families in need
- Sends Jordans and tracksuits to EVERY team staffer every year
- On a minimum deal in Denver Russ paid for dinners, bought clothes for teammates and more
- Great private charity work off the court
Russ is one of the most misunderstood players ever.
I absolutely love Brayan Rocchio.
He’s having a breakout season, has scored three runs tonight, and is this upset because he struck out on a bad pitch in a game the Guardians lead 7-1.
This care factor really stuck out in the 2024 playoffs against the Yankees. And it’s a big reason he’s starting to blossom.
