Nick Young tells Shannon Sharpe that he still hasn't forgiven his former Lakers teammate, D'Angelo Russell for SNITCHING on him and EXPOSING him for cheating on his fiancee, Iggy Azalea 😳💀

Nick says D-Lo was blackballed by the entire Lakers team for snitching on him and CALLS him out to a FIGHT in the boxing ring 🥊

"I still had to get him so while he was playing, a couple friends of mine had to get his brother in the family lounge and all that. I had to get some type of get-back... It's like your family in a way. It was tough for him. He was at the lunch table, breakfast time, team meeting by himself. It was hard... You don't want to be that guy who's known to be hanging with a snitch. I still call him a snitch to this day."

This is not a rivalry. Caitlin Clark should never be mentioned in the same breath as Angel Reese

Angel Reese takes a shot at Caitlin Clark, reminding everyone that she won an NCAA championship before her and predicting she'll win a WNBA title before her, too:

"I got an NCAA ring before a certain player, and I'll win a WNBA championship before her, too. The WNBA isn't about just one player or one team. Fans are watching because they want to see their city rise to the top."

Karl Anthony Towns and the Knicks are reportedly far apart in contract extension negotiations.

New York has reportedly offered KAT a 4-year, $200M deal, a massive $76M below the $276M max extension he’s eligible for. 💰

ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins believes Towns should STAND HIS GROUND and consider taking his talents elsewhere. 👀

"If I were Karl-Anthony Towns, I'd be looking at old Steph Curry and Golden State"

Stephen A. Smith believes even a fifth ring won’t be enough for LeBron James to surpass Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate:🐐

"The 76ers are gonna win LeBron James his fifth NBA championship. That's the good news. Here's the bad: It still ain't six, baby. This man is the second greatest player of all time. He is not the GOAT."👀

LeBron James went from a $52.6M salary in LA to $4M a year in Philadelphia, then started commuting to practice by helicopter. Both decisions come from the same spreadsheet.

The Sixers' facility sits in Camden, New Jersey. His home this season is in New York, 95 miles away. That drive runs 90 minutes to two hours each way. The helicopter does it in about 40.

Call it two and a half hours saved per round trip. Across home games, practices, and film sessions, that's easily 200+ hours a season. Five full workweeks of his life, bought back.

Now look at what he does with hours. LeBron reportedly spends $1.5M a year on his body. Hyperbaric chamber, cryotherapy, a personal trainer who has been with him since Cleveland. At 41, in a 24th season no one in NBA history has ever played, recovery time is the scarcest input he has. Three hours in a car is three hours of a compressed spine in I-95 traffic. Three hours at home is treatment, sleep, and legs that still work in April.

The salary explains the rest. $4M is a rounding error against the billion-plus he's built off the court. He didn't come to Philadelphia for the paycheck, so there's no reason to let the paycheck's geography cost him anything physically.

A charter helicopter between New York and Philly runs a few thousand dollars per flight. Over a full season that could approach $1M, a quarter of his salary, just on getting to work. Sounds reckless until you price it against the thing it protects. The contract pays $4M. The body it's attached to built a billion.💯🙌🏽

Former NBA player Pero Antic blasted LeBron James, claiming he can no longer enjoy watching the NBA because of the influence LeBron has had on the game.👀

"I can't watch the NBA anymore. They're comparing him to Jordan and Kobe. What? He's like a little girl, always begging for something, then he flops and nags."

Antic also said, "LeBron ruined the NBA in one way," criticizing the way James has chased historic milestones and shaped the final years of his career.

"Oh, I'm going to chase the scoring title on purpose so that nobody ever catches me. Oh, I want my son to play with me. That's not how it's supposed to go."

Antic's comments quickly sparked debate, especially because he shared the floor with LeBron during his own NBA career and clearly has never been a fan of the way James plays or carries himself.

Klay Thompson shares an emotional story about Giannis Antetokounmpo:

"I got a Giannis story for you. The year I came back from two-and-a-half years off injury, we played the Bucks. I had a great game. I had 38.

This is a testament to his humility. (That game) made me feel like I could be a great player again. After the game, he walked from the opposing bench all the way down to our bench just to tell me how happy he was for me.

I don't want to get emotional, but that meant a lot to me.
To be one of the 75 best players ever and not to be bitter in a moment where your team loses, and I have a great game and to just give me those props, that made me look at him in a different light.

Like, man, this guy is genuinely a great human being, and that really meant a lot to me when he gave me props for coming back from what I did. So now, to be his teammate is just awesome." 💯🙌🏽

Michael Jordan believes winning should always come before personal stats, betting, and building a brand:

"If I were to play today... I can't worry about what people are betting on. I can't worry about what the stats are. I never worry about the stats. All I care about is the end of the game... If we win, I couldn't care less who won the bet, who didn't win the bet. I know I won the game. Ultimately, that's all that I even focused on... Today, you've got to build a brand... That takes away from the team aspect... I don't envy that. I'm glad I was born at the time that I was born."💯

Gilbert Arenas says Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant would not have taken LeBron's 2016 Cavaliers to the Finals because they lacked his patience

The Cavs finished 57-25 that season, earning the top seed in the Eastern Conference before reaching the Finals for a rematch with the Warriors.

LeBron's supporting cast included Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, J.R. Smith, Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson and Matthew Dellavedova.

Cleveland fell behind 3-1 against a Warriors team that had won an NBA-record 73 games, then won three straight to become the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the Finals and win the championship.

"They would have got to the playoffs, but those guys wouldn't have answered the call the same because they would have been afraid. You know, J.R. missed three, four shots. With LeBron, he's going to take four or five more...
They'd played with Kobe and wouldn't have shot the ball at all. Like nah, here you go" 👀
