The casuals won’t be addressed but the trailblazers fans and city of Portland that I love truly will be … and they will be addressed truthfully. Stay tuned

Excited for my next chapter! @Bucks 🎟️

Klay: “I’d do it all over again, injuries and all.”

PG: “I had 6 surgeries, I don’t got sh*t to show for it… You got rings to show for it.”

Klay: “I never had to carry a franchise like you.”

@wojespn @espn Is he Disgruntled Adrian?? Or is he holding Darryl Morey accountable for his dishonesty and lack of transparency throughout the contract negotiation process this summer?

A lot of big salaries but where is the mid level bread? Is it max dollars or damn near minimum 🤔

Anthony Tolliver on Michael Beasley's knee rub:

“I was sitting on the bench, minding my own business... not quite sure why there's a hand on my knee. I look over and Michael is rubbing my leg. He tells me 'Oh, my bad. I thought that was my knee.' From that day on, I knew Michael was special”

Isaiah Thomas and the Celtics end the Warriors 54 game home win streak at Oracle. Tough as nails. Like a fearless welterweight boxer just igniting a group of dogs around him.

I can’t lie, I miss this era — players were seriously funnier lmao

Never forget this iconic play by Lance Thomas 😭 https://t.co/FjeAasDI1p

By 2015 he was a Killer — not so much in 2011 finals, 2010 indifference against BOS, as well as the 2018 finals 2-4 after he broke his hand punching the whiteboard/wall.

Those 3 are LeBron’s own self inflicted stains on his resume. Not that he got beat — he checked himself out

[ClutchPoints @ClutchPoints]

"David Blatt draws the play up... [LeBron] said, 'Absolutely not,' grabs the clipboard, erases the play... I've never seen somebody draw up their own game winner."

Brendan Haywood on LeBron's game winner vs. the Bulls in 2015 😤

(via @fuboSports)

[Byron’s Basketball Cave @BballCave]

This is why MJ is MJ. You never had to tell him to turn it up, only to turn it down and trust others. While LeBron had been too trusting of others and deferred early.

Greater specimen LeBron > Jordan

Self-Awareness amongst opponents Jordan > LeBron

Dan Gilbert & the Bulls suck

[²³ @SpeakContext]

“Listen bro… he (LeBron) can score 50 anytime he wants.. he just loves to play the game the right way”

- T.Lue

[Byron’s Basketball Cave @BballCave]

I’m still waiting for someone to copy him — closest ones have been Bron (pwer + quick twitch; and acquired finesse once losing the quik twitch) and Ja (Quick twitch finesse, occasional pwr)—neither have had the same level of finesse + power + quick twitch put together like Mike.

[Timeless Sports @timelesssports_]

Michael Jordan’s layup package was just silly. 🔥
