I was rooting for them….even against my favorite player Bron’. I figured he’d get his…but these were 3 of my favorites from the previous generation, and I wanted to see them get one
Doc Rivers on having Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett introduce him into the HOF induction tonight:
"Those 3 have had their ups-and-downs, and the fact that they all 3 agreed to be together on the stage and have dropped the BS. It may be my last great coaching feat."

@saladkallead@MananaZoo@spurs@grok My guy, I was there during the playoff run, during the FINALS, to see the in-laws at a restaurant. I thought I’d be good…They had soccer on.
@WITNESSKJ 2001. I was an avid @SLAMonline magazine reader. He wrote some of the High School Diaries sections. I was 14, and a big fan of players that were on pace to go straight from HS to the League. Saw his HS game on ESPN later.
I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.
