Mac McClung says he chose not to enter the dunk contest because several NBA players didn’t want to compete if he was in it 😳

“I think there was just back and forth of us being like this, and then they were calling me, being like 'People didn't want to do it if I was doing it', and I thought it's best if I just sit out this year and let it be, no matter what.”

Chris Paul reportedly threw a Halloween party, and barely any of his Clippers teammates showed up, per @ramonashelburne

“Some of the things early on — like, he invited guys to his suite at the Rams game, and he threw a Halloween party, and then... no one came. After that, they get worked the first night in Utah, which makes this even sadder. Like, seriously — a Halloween party, and maybe three players showed up. I think Brad came, and Zubac. Chris is trying to be like, ‘I’m going to help you build some culture. I’ll bring guys over to my house. Let’s work out together. Let’s have a Halloween party.’ He and his wife threw the party in the suite after the Halloween game — and again, only three players came. So you’re looking at this and thinking: he’s trying to fill the leadership void the way he knows how, and every time he did, they would kind of recoil. Like, ‘Eh, it’s too much.’”

People within the Sixers organization now feel that Tyrese Maxey is the face of the franchise over Joel Embiid and Paul George, per @ramonashelburne

“I think the feeling is that this is Tyrese Maxey’s team, and over the summer it started to turn that page because people just frankly didn’t know when Paul George and Joel Embiid would be able to play … and so the Sixers had to pivot—and it turns out Tyrese Maxey is really good and he is the franchise now.”

Part of the reason ESPN got rid of Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson was because they weren’t fans of their desire to potentially leave for coaching, per @AndrewMarchand

The NBA also wasn’t a fan of Jeff Van Gundy constantly criticizing officials

“ESPN had company-wide layoffs, and part of the network’s reasoning for singling out Van Gundy and Jackson was because of their perceived continued desire to coach, according to sources briefed on the move. The NBA was not a fan of Van Gundy criticizing officials, according to those sources.”
