Jayden Daniels’ teammates have reportedly been instructed to only give him high fours, as high fives are believed to constitute unauthorized use of his No. 5.
Effective immediately, we will no longer offer tickets in groups of 5. Out of respect for Jayden Daniels, we're only doing 4 or 6+. Thank you for your understanding.
I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

Who came from privilege?
@pokehuntdotfun Well hope you don’t collect sports cards. Cause Topps is doing this as well. Just remember, people like you are what’s causing this. So it’s your own fault.
This was updated almost 2 weeks ago. Even the backlog tracker is backlogged. Hoping my order from April will get here in the time for the NBA season to start!
U P D A T E / 0 7 . 1 4 . 2 6
Since peak demand, TAG has reduced active backlog volume by approximately 43%.
Significant work remains, but meaningful progress is being made.
We've launched a new TAG Backlog Tracker to provide collectors with a transparent look at where things stand, what we're doing, and what comes next.

Lots of takes on the Dort/Presti/Ownership situation…Like I said last night on my show, what Presti said is irrelevant. Seems to me like ownership said just blame it on us. Presti doesn’t want the impression with players of a GM that’s not willing to go into 2nd Apron. But the truth is, if OKC was “comfortable going into the 2nd Apron with this year’s team” then OKC wouldn’t have traded Joe and Wiggins before Dort.
OKC had to trade Dort to stay under the 2nd Apron this year because they will almost certainly go into it two and three years from now when Shai is making $60+ & Dub and Chet are making $44. And the third year in the 2nd Apron is when the harsh penalties kick in.
Also, maybe more importantly, if they would’ve kept Dort and started Dort, you risk pissing off and losing Cason Wallace. This move secures the future of Wallace.
Presti is the one whose hands would be tied if OKC wasted an Apron year this upcoming season. This was a formality and the only move for Presti, but wants to save a relationship with a long time core Thunder player in Dort publicly, and make sure it looks like he did everything he could to keep him.
Ultimately this is a great move for the Thunder that extends their Championship window, while still having a real chance to win the Finals this upcoming season.
OKC trading Lu Dort might be purely about the money. But finances could also be a convenient excuse.
Dort was borderline unplayable against the Spurs. He’s a shaky shooter. He’s never been a shot creator. And he may already be past his peak defensively. Plus, his minutes were blocking backcourt players who could end up better.
My gut says this move is the Thunder getting off a guy one year before everyone realizes they should.
@FOXSports@ByDougMcIntyre@MelissaMOrtiz Wow…could the USA seriously be more up right now as a country? Celebrating 250 years, in the WC round of 16, and their star player CANNOT be denied.
Also…Europeans are finally admitting they love our country😏
What a TIME TO BE AMERICAN 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅
