Can’t remember the last time we just had two teams really hate each other like this. Feels nostalgic. Goons head hunting. Last second dunks. Yeah we up.
The hot mic picked up Dylan Harper talking to Stephon Castle and Wemby:
“Hey…Hey…We got some get back for the Cup”
The Knicks beat the Spurs in the NBA Cup Championship. This Finals might be one of those ones.
Kevin Love on how NBA spacing has evolved:
“You watch guys warm up before the game, there’s nobody in the paint! We have 10 guys on the perimeter shooting threes… The only guys in the paint are rookies getting rebounds for the veterans.”

Everyone knows Dylan Harper is the son of a 5x NBA Champion.
But his mom, Maria Harper, was the one coaching and raising him long before the league.
Now, she gets to watch him play in the NBA Finals as a rookie.
Unbelievable legacy. ✨

REPORT: The Spurs are expected to sign Victor Wembanyama to a 5-year, $251M max rookie extension this offseason, per @spotrac.
“With super-max language that can increase the deal to as much as $301 million.”
Kashie Natt is one of my favorite under-the-radar prospects in this draft for the Pelicans.
-Louisiana Native
- Elite defensively
- Athletic
- Averaged 8.2 rebounds per game at 6'3
- Won Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year
The Pelicans only have the 58th pick, but Natt feels like the exact type of player Jamahl Mosley would love to have. If he's there late or goes undrafted, he's a name I'd be interested in.
Could help replace some of what Herb Jones brings if he were ever moved.
Michael Jordan telling campers if the Bulls trade Scottie Pippen, he’ll retire. And if it’s Phil Jackson’s last year, it’s his last year in the Summer 1997.
If we don’t SUPPORT our own, who will?
The Black Coaches Association proudly congratulates both NBA Finals head coaches, Mike Brown and Mitch Johnson.
History will be made as two Black head coaches meet on basketball’s biggest stage in the 2026 NBA Finals.
This opportunity has only happened a handful of times in NBA history, making this moment even more significant for the game and for the next generation of coaches who aspire to lead at the highest level.
No matter the outcome, one thing is certain:
A Black head coach will be crowned NBA Champion.
We celebrate the leadership, resilience, preparation, and excellence that both coaches have displayed throughout their journeys.
Good luck to Coach Brown and Coach Johnson.
They WIN. WE WIN. ✊🏾🏆
