On a Friday afternoon 5 years ago (February 14), I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer, the same cancer Nikola Topić was diagnosed with.
Last night, Nikola Topić made his debut for the OKC Thunder after beating cancer.
His body, hair, and aspects of his mental has not yet recovered.
However, in the long run, this fight will make him mentally & physically stronger than he could ever imagine.
OKC fans, please be patient with him. It will take him at least 2 years to be 100%.
I am so happy for him & will be rooting for him.
P.S: If you're a young experiencing any odd symptoms, please see your doctor ASAP.
Jaylen Brown is not on the tier he thinks he is. He reminds me of Kyrie leaving the Cavs. The only reason there is a Brown vs Tatum debate is Tatum's injury.
There are levels to NBA stars and despite Brown's talent, his inability to ignore the 1% of haters (99% love him) has the potential to be his downfall.
I hope he's a Celtic for life but not gonna lose sleep if Boston trades him.
Jayson Tatum isn't the one trying to split the duo up.
Jayson Tatum isn't the one yapping on a kids streaming platform.
Jayson Tatum isn't the one always crying to the media.
Jayson Tatum isn't the one more concerned with what the 1% of haters have to say while ignoring 99% of the fans.
Jayson Tatum is just focused on hooping.
Remember this when y'all Jaylen Brown defenders turn your venom on Tatum when it should be for Brown.
The Boston Celtics are reportedly looking for a big man and are willing to trade Jaylen Brown to acquire one, per @SIChrisMannix
“Boston continued to discuss Brown trades on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the talks tell Sports Illustrated. Many of the conversations were initiated by rival teams, sources say. Some were brokered by the Celtics. ‘They are hunting a big man,’ says a rival executive. ‘And they are willing to trade [Brown] to get it.’”

Becky Hammon says she’s not apologizing to Jalen Brunson
“Jalen, all he did was prove history wrong. He proves he’s an outlier, so you can put his name next to Steph Curry and Isiah Thomas, and I thought he played brilliantly, especially down the stretch. I mean, he was that 1A dude, but apologize? I’m never gonna apologize for having an opinion. That’s what ESPN pays me for.”

Just in: The Portland Trail Blazers are hiring Minnesota Timberwolves lead assistant Micah Nori as the franchise's next head coach, sources tell ESPN. Nori -- widely regarded as one of the league's top assistants -- has been in the NBA coaching ranks since 2009 and now takes over in Portland on a multiyear deal.
“Giannis will never win a championship with him being a number 1 option. I repeat. Giannis Antetokounmpo will never win another championship with him being the number 1 option”😳
