Tristan Thompson speaks on Kyrie:

“Kyrie [Irving] was 2 inches taller, he’d be the best player to ever touch a basketball on planet earth.”

That Chris Johnson shit is terrifying , I had no clue ALS could just pick anybody at any given time at any age. Got to be grateful for every little thing. Being able to do normal every day things is a privilege.

LeBron's third act was just as good as some of the best players in the NBA during their primes 😱

[Damien Peters @DamienPetersNBA]

The Lakers never deserved LeBron James. Some of us remember the summer of 2018. When LeBron James, the best player in the world, chose to sign with a franchise that was the laughing stock of the league. They hadn’t sniffed the playoffs in five years. And they welcomed the best player in the world by surrounding him with the infant versions of Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram as his teammates. He helped bring in Anthony Davis. The same Anthony Davis that helped bring in Luka Doncic. They won the Cup. They won a championship. Their first title in a decade. Over the course of the next eight seasons, we watched as Lakers fans blamed LeBron for everything when their season fell short even though he was playing at an All-NBA level. His loyalty was questioned, even though he fulfilled every contract to the end. We saw the front office sit on their hands with draft capital. We saw the front office prioritize future cap space instead of rolling the dice every year. We saw them waste prime years with AD. Now, we see Lakers fan celebrating as he walks out the door after bringing the franchise back to relevancy. He was never appreciated as much as he should have been.

Gilbert Arenas says calling LeBron James and the Lakers 2020 championship, the Mickey Mouse championship is the weirdest thing:

“Because every star started in the bubble. Devin Booker was phenomenal in the bubble. Giannis showed who he was becoming in the bubble. Jokic got defeated in the bubble and he’s been the MVP or the runner MVP for six straight years since that bubble. Luka’s terror against the Clippers started in that bubble. Murray and Mitchell bubble. Jimmy Butler, right? This is where that all that was created. So to say the bubble was this Mickey Mouse chip. It just shows you how great I look at it like this. The harder they hate, the greater you are.”

CC Sabathia says Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player ever: “He's basically Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds”

“I think there will be other people that can come along and hit and pitch. I probably think there were other people that could have did it, but I don't think at this guy's level”

“He's the best baseball player I've ever seen. And I said that after I saw him play one inning of one game. He hit a ground ball to shortstop to Didi and beat it out at first base. I was like, this guy's the biggest, the fastest, he hits the ball the farthest, he throws the ball the hardest”

“You guys remember that guy in your Little League when y'all were 12 years old. Whatever his name was, the best player. That's Ohtani. At the highest level. I said it the first day. He's the greatest baseball player to ever play. Absolutely”

“And I'm a huge Barry Bonds fan. Barry's the GOAT. But Barry can't go out and throw seven fucking innings. This guy is basically Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds. That to me sets him apart. Barry is a close second for me, but it's Ohtani for sure”

[Nick Banga @nickxbanga]

Bron good in my book. Got us a chip the year Kobe died. Fuck what them other Laker fans talking bout. We move forward though, Luka you up 💪🏾

[Brandon Jennings @Tuff__Crowd]

Being from Los Angeles gotta thank Bron for coming to the Lakers winning a chip and breaking the all time scoring record team sold for 10billion.

The Lakers were Cooked before he got there it was some nasty years.

[Hoop Central @TheHoopCentral]

The Lakers wanted LeBron James back, but LeBron decided to move on, per @ShamsCharania

End of an era.

Robert Parish on Jaylen Brown potentially being traded:

“First of all, you don’t get rid of a talent like Jaylen Brown unless he asked to be moved, not to mention the backcourt with he and [Jayson] Tatum is a proven formula. So why would you wanna make that move? I find it disturbing, and it’s uncomfortable, and not to mention I don’t understand — never have, never will — why ownership and management want respect and loyalty from players, but they only give you loyalty and respect when it’s in their best interest.”

Jeezy says he walked out of jail and lost his Adidas deal, his Belvedere deal, and his Atlantic Records job in the same week

"Farrakhan was the first call I got when I got out... He said, 'Brother Jeezy, I told you.'"

"I looked at everything I lost cuz I had partner brand partnerships Adidas, Belvedere, this that and the third. All these deals and even a job at Atlantic Records, it was all gone."

"I walked out of that jail house and I told myself, I will never again align my brand, my likeness or my purpose with somebody else's vision without having ownership in it."

"Don't take nobody's money out here trying to figure it out, because that makes you liable. And then it also makes them feel like they can control how you moving."

Bron used to do that nigga so bad😂

JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”

Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.

Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.

“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.

He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.

“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”

That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.

Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.

Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.

His message was simple:

The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx

[🏁 Jamal Crawford @JCrossover]

I miss the days where point guards took just as much pride in getting assist as shooting the ball. PG’s shooting almost every other time down, and THINKING score first, every time is NASTY hoop lol..

“If James Harden and Kyrie Irving do not get hurt they low-key sweep us when I was with the Bucks.”

Bucks players themselves know that they got lucky in that 2021 Nets vs Bucks ECSF series.
