“League sources said James had been angling for former teammate Irving to join him in Cleveland, but the Dallas Mavericks have had no interest in engaging the Cavaliers in a trade, and Irving is believed to be comfortable where he is.”

A tourist was seriously injured after a bison tossed them about 8 feet into the air in Yellowstone National Park. The attack was captured on video by photographer Mike Macleod.
Dirk Nowitzki is asked who was tougher to guard, Tim Duncan or Kevin Garnett, and gives Duncan his flowers:
“The good thing is, they usually guarded me on one end but I never had to guard them. As we know defense was not my strong suit.. 😹
Timmy was too big and strong for me with all his moves. Where he really got you most of the time was offensive rebounding.. he was so great on the glass..
To me probably Timmy is the greatest power forward ever. Just his all round game, his defense, his leadership, his scoring.. both some of the best players we’ve had in our game.”

Klay Thompson ranks his top 5 greatest 3-point shooters of all time
“Steph Curry: Obviously, you got to say Steph. 4,200 makes at a 42% clip is ridiculous, especially with all the volume”
“Ray Allen: He was the all-time leader for so long until Steph took over. But just Ray's ability to shoot off the move with the ball in his hands. And that shot he had in the 2013 NBA Finals, that was one of the greatest shots in league history”
“Reggie Miller: I love watching Reggie's highlight tape, especially his game winning highlight tape. Reggie was fearless, and he was, I'd say, the first real player to really use the three point line as his main weapon”
“Larry Bird: It's hard not to say Larry because although he didn't shoot the volume of threes, he was so efficient in his shooting. He's a 50-40-90 guy. I think he won three 3-Point Contests and even did one with his warm up jacket on”
“Dirk Nowitzki: His 2011 run, look at his shooting numbers. They're insane. He shot 45% from three for the whole playoffs. I'm going to go with those five. I'm not going to put myself in there”
