Mike Breen on SGA:
"Does Shai sell calls sometimes? Absolutely, but so do 287 other players in the NBA… When they weren't a championship contender, nobody complained. They only complain now because they are winning.”

Patrick Ewing has known Jalen Brunson since Jalen was 2 years old and used to take him on family vacations. Last night, the Knicks legend got to hand Jalen the ECF MVP trophy.
@MindOfJakeUp@EthanSa77538004 Well if you did brudda and you actually watched the games you would know basketball is a two way sport.. Luka and Joke LITERALLY play NO defense. Just because you have the ball in your hands every possession and rack up assist and rebounds doesn’t mean you’re better lmaoo

LeBron James on the GOAT debate:
"I think it's a very tiring conversation. It's barbershop talk. You can look at both of us and say that you love both of us without trying to sh*t on the other person. And usually, it's sh*ting on me... but I hope I made him proud at least, wearing that No. 23.”
