"If you lose a parent...you just look for signs and I'll take any sign I could get and I prayed to her strong before that possession…I take it as a sign my mom was there with me so I appreciate her so much"

What KAT is doing to Wemby this series just makes what Chet did even more unforgivable.

[Russ' TD ⚡ @RussFcb]

Victor Wembanyama, who preaches about ethical hoops, snapped his head back as if he got shot when he didn't get touched, is always hilarious. He just gets a free pass since the media is mesmerized by how cool and thoughtful he is.

Charles Barkley: "I think we need to all pray for Wemby."

Kenny Smith: "Why?"

Barkley: "Because he can't play too many minutes, they are gonna kill him out there."

Smith: "You're joking."

Barkley: "I'm damn sure joking 'cause you guys -- these people, they are pissing me off. I'm watching the whole games.
They (OKC) ain't playing dirty, and I'm like: 'These are some of the softest fouls I've ever seen in my life'
You got these clowns on TV talking about: "They are gonna hurt poor Wemby."

I was like: 'Hurt him? Are you really kidding, man?'

It drives me crazy watching these shows".

Jared McCain reveals that he cried when he was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers 🥲

“I was on the bus with the Sixers and we were heading to the airport in San Francisco. We just played Golden State

I texted my agent for a gym in L.A. and he called me, and I think he’s calling me about the gym. He is like, ‘They’re about to trade you.’

About five minutes later, Daryl Morey called me and told me I was traded… it was pretty wild, and I started crying right then.

Those are my brothers and still are my brothers to this day. It was definitely tough. They thought I was joking when I told them, and then I started crying. Then they were like, ‘Oh, this is serious.’ Then we got off the bus and they all came up to me and I still went on the plane with them to L.A.

I still miss Philly to this day. I never was able to see my house again because we were on the road. It’s little things like that. I miss my routine, but I’m definitely blessed to be here.”

[Jase @jasehoops]

the week that solidified his MVP

[✭ @ReloadRex2]

Such a special stretch of games man 3 games in a row he hit a dagger/game winning three. Solidified the MVP and CPOY

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

SGA says he wasn’t a fan of how the Thunder won the title:

“Honestly speaking, I didn’t like the way we won, if that makes sense… I didn’t think we won an NBA championship playing our best basketball… We were definitely more dominant in the regular season than the postseason… And for me, as well — as a player, I don’t think I was as good in the postseason as I was in the regular season.”
