DeMarcus Cousins says Rick Carlisle tried to recruit him to the Mavericks during his prime, but he was instantly turned off
"He'd send me weird selfies and say, 'I'm thinking about you and I really want to coach you.'"

Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama are leading the NBA in total "stocks," which means combined steals and blocks early this season.
🔹 Wemby: 14 (12 blocks, 2 steals)
🔹 Steph: 11 (7 steals, 4 blocks)
Wemby's putting up video game numbers. He had 9 blocks in one game and was one block shy of a triple-double. If he keeps this kind of pace while being the go-to guy on offense, he could seriously be in both the MVP and Defensive Player of the Year race.
Steph being right behind him is what's wild. People used to say he couldn't defend, but over the years he's gotten smarter, stronger, and way more locked in. Now he's reading plays, cutting off drives, and even getting blocks on taller players.
Still early, but it's wild to see.
Wemby's out here building a case for history. Steph's proving he can lock up too.
