Onyeka Okongwu
This looks like a team ready to make some noise in the East 👀
LeBron James says never winning DPOY in his career bothers him:
“That's the only award that I don't have in my house… That kind of stings. It doesn’t make sense. The year I finished second in Defensive Player of the Year, the guy who won didn't even make First Team All-Defense.”
“I also had an opportunity to be the first unanimous MVP, where I got all 120 votes, but I got 119. It was the one vote, and he voted for Carmelo. It was a writer from Boston, of course. I know his name too, but I ain't going to give him that light just yet.”
“Why are they voting? That doesn't make sense. I don't know the answer, but why are they voting if you're not watching the game, you're not studying the game, and you're not listening to the peers in the game who are telling you, ‘He’s the best player.’”

Stephen A. Smith says where the hell the Los Angeles Lakers think they going with a bunch of white dudes:
“SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT. SO I’m saying it. Your three TOP PLAYERS ARE WHITE DUDES. REALLY? This ain’t golf. This ain’t baseball. Hell, it ain’t even soccer. And we got a whole bunch of brothers ON TEAM USA. WHAT Y’ALL THINK THIS IS? IT’S BASKETBALL.”
