I don't care that they lost. Olivia Miles just went into A'ja Wilson's house and proved that she's a legit competitor in the MVP race THIS YEAR.

Running out of words to describe how good she is.

Imagine drafting both of them in the same draft

Deciding you want neither of them

Only getting one 1st rounder, 29 games of Anthony Davis, and Max Christie in return

On this day, 2004: The Lakers played desperately in an attempt to tie the NBA Finals, but the Detroit Pistons defense put on yet another masterclass and Rasheed Wallace brought a shovel to bury them in a 3-1 hole:

2016 NCAA Champions.

2026 NBA Champions.

Ausar Thompson is a 23-year old perimeter defender who's dictating where offenses decide to go with the ball.

We haven't seen anything like this since young Kawhi Leonard.

A TRIPLE THREAT 💥

Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper are the first teammate trio age 22 or younger each with a double-double in a playoff game in NBA history.

What James Harden did tonight was not basketball. He just keeps fouling with his off arm over and over and over because he can’t create separation anymore and when the defender closes he kicks his legs out.

But, again, it’s a Tony Brothers crew. He knew he could get away with it

Cavs have shot 100 FTs over the last 3 games

#Pistons have shot 54…

Cade Cunningham on dropping Game 5:

"It's first four wins, though ... We've had our back against the wall before. At the end of the day, if we can't win a game on the road, how far we really gon' get in the playoffs? ... Gotta go win a game on the road, that's what we gon' do."

[shannon sharpe @ShannonSharpe]

No way could officials give Harden that call while missing an obvious tripping in regulation

[Basketball Performances @NBAPerformances]

Cade Cunningham 39 PTS, 7 REB, 9 AST, 2 STL, 13/27 FG, 6/10 3FG, 63.9% TS vs Cavs

On this day, 1988: After a 45-point average against Cleveland, Michael Jordan brought the Bulls into Detroit for their first ever playoff meeting.

Things did not go quite as smoothly for Jordan or the Bulls, who were physically overwhelmed in game 1:

[StatMuse @statmuse]

Pistons with multiple playoff triple-doubles:

— Isiah Thomas
— Cade Cunningham

That's it.

This moment between Isiah Thomas and his mom after he won the 1986 NBA All-Star Game MVP 🩷

“I’m so proud of you son.”

Shoutout to all the Moms on Mothers Day

It was so nice... we have to show it twice 😲

Had a blast chopping it up with my GUYS @MacBo50 and @aa000G9 on Out the Mud. Nothing like talking Celtics & Heat championship runs and reflecting on coming up in Cleveland. Real stories, real laughs—appreciate the love. 🏆
