Demarcus Cousins on the Lebron James Free Agency decision:
"If Bron goes to Philly or Minnesota it'll get interesting. But honestly, I don't like how he was treated in LA. We're in the Era now where you can't speak up on his behalf. They'll say we're glazing or paid by Klutch. We're kind of getting to a point where our Legends aren't going out gracefully like they should. From Carmelo, to how CP3 was handled. Watching how the Lakers acted like Lebron isn't Lebron. Even Kevin Durant. So I just want him to go somewhere where he's appreciated and gets the flowers he deserves.

Strong words from Boogie
Obviously millions of dollars is enough. But back in the day before NIL we didn’t get paid until November and I didn’t get paid at Lehigh. I left school in April for Pre Draft. So I lived off $12k energy drink deal Until November. Which was cool with me. 2 bands a month. The point is that people with money need to budget and people without it need to budget too
You came to Milwaukee 13 years ago as a kid from Sepolia with an impossible dream. Over the past 13 years we have witnessed you grow into one of the greatest players the game has ever seen, the greatest Buck of all time, and the driving force behind an era of Bucks basketball that will be remembered forever.
From the moment you arrived, you embraced Milwaukee as your home. You embraced the team, the community, and everyone who believed in you. Your connection with Bucks fans transcended basketball. You didn’t just play basketball in Milwaukee, you became the heart and soul of this city. You touched lives throughout our community and inspired people across the world. You believed in this city and its fans when the rest of the world doubted.
After 50 years, you delivered a championship to Milwaukee. A dream come true for generations of Bucks fans who never stopped believing. You gave Milwaukee hope. You taught us that loyalty still matters. That hard work can overcome impossible odds, and that a small-market city could still be on top all because you refused to stop believing. For one night, Milwaukee wasn’t just watching history, we were living it together.
Your legacy in Milwaukee is secured and will always be felt here. In the rafters, throughout the community, in the countless people you inspired, and the way you made an entire city believe that anything was possible.
Thank you for believing in Milwaukee and giving everything you had to this city day in and day out. You transformed the Bucks in every way, and left your mark on this organization for generations to come. You’ll always be family. You’ll always be Milwaukee’s champion. Forever a part of this city. Forever a Buck. Thank you for everything, Giannis.
The Celtics are banking on Payton Pritchard making a Jalen Brunson-type leap, per @tomhaberstroh
“The Celtics trading [Jaylen] Brown is a bet that [Payton] Pritchard is their in-house version of New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson, a diminutive player who didn’t fully show his talents until Luka Dončić was out of the picture.”

BREAKING: Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City, holding a banner from the skyscraper's antenna reading, "When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."
As of now it's unclear how the pair reached the top of the building as police work to get them down from the spire, 1,454 feet above the ground.

No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑
We really lived long enough to see @KingJames become the old man version of himself in this iconic 20-year-old @Nike ad campaign.
And somehow he's STILL playing basketball at an insanely high level. 🐐
