All NBA fans who started watching ball before 2010 know this! LeBron James was not a great defender at all! And this is coming from Tony Allen who ACTUALLY played defense!
Tony Allen GOES IN on LeBron for believing he should’ve won DPOY in 2013 and says players used to HUNT him on defense 😳
“Yo Bron, stop it bro. You ain’t ever had to check nobody bro. His biggest defensive plays are the chase down blocks. That’s his biggest thing. He was sayin he could’ve got Marc Gasol’s award… I didn’t think not one time LeBron deserved that. If Marc didn’t get it, I should’ve got it. To see him say for his legacy he should’ve got that award, I’m saying to myself ‘bro every game you came in, you was the hunted. You was the guy.’ All you did was a couple chase down blocks a game. Name somebody that he had to lock up and get the win? He’s so hyped up because of the chase down blocks. — He locked up Paul Pierce? We made that man go to Miami! The decision started… You ain’t no defensive player. You the GOAT in basketball but not defense”

I have a 15 yr old…. 6’5 220. Solid hoop potential but a raw athlete overall. Looking for any NY programs. He’s coach-able but it’s really raw talent. Never played under any whistle. God given size and great genes. Primarily looking for a basketball/football program program
Knicks win every ESPY they're nominated for:
🧹 Best Male Athlete - Jalen Brunson
🧹 Best Championship Performance - Jalen Brunson
🧹 Best NBA Player - Jalen Brunson
🧹 Best Play - OG Anunoby
🧹 Best Team - New York Knicks
He was so right about the bar for being smartest in the room is low af in the league because for weeks we’ve heard nba players tell us how hundreds of millions of dollars isn’t enough money… meanwhile I’ve never once heard any of them mention any of this shit lol.
The Celtics Are Going To Be Trying Something Completely Different With How They Play. Per, @WindhorstESPN
“The Celtics are trying a new way of doing things, it’s not just gonna be Jayson Tatum, they’re gonna rely on Payton Prichard, they’re gonna rely on Baylor Scheierman, they’re gonna rely on Hugo Gonzalez.”

Two things about buying Bitcoin during extreme fear:
1.The feeling you have right now watching it drop is exactly the feeling every long term holder has had at every major bottom. They held. You know what happened next.
2.The only people who regret buying during fear are the ones who bought with money they couldn’t afford to leave alone long enough for it to matter.
Stephen A. Smith says he deserves credit for the Knicks’ NBA Finals run
“I deserve some credit, so I’m gonna take it. You know, when I called the Knicks out…They haven’t lost since.”

Jaylen Brown on being a fan of the @Unrivaledwbb 1v1 tournament:
“Luka, Shai, Brunson, Donovan, I would challenge all those guys 1-on-1.”

Chargers OC Mike McDaniel on avoiding hits for Justin Herbert: “Having some quicker, ball out passes at a higher frequency, so much of the national football league defense is post snap.”
“Take advantage of that space with quick throws…One of the best blockers you can have is an open eligible number 1 in a quick amount of time.”
