Jaylen Brown reminds my a lot of Cameron Murray

Brad Stevens is basically the Gus Gould of the NBA and I'm not sure enough people are talking about it

@DarrynSpringers @andrewbogut Exactly.

People forget that before @andrewbogut was part-owner of an NBL franchise, he was an NBA superstar.

@arbarkas 24-team league and no mention of the NBL is criminal

@OlgunUluc @ESPNAusNZ This is just quality niggle. Every great side needs a bloke willing to get under the opposition's skin.

As someone who grew up in God's country (Gymea) I can empathise with Jayden Ivy.

Always remember, Jesus got waived at one point too.

Kawhy Leonard adding the one-on-one strip to his game this year just shows that you’re never too old to improve. No longer a liability in defence.

Verdict: Wembanyama will finish second in MVP votes behind Josh Giddey. Best defensive player in the league with the second best record. But I predict we will see Giddey with the coveted Michael Jordan Medal around his neck this year.

More film breakdowns coming soon. 🏀

8/ Now for the case against: Wemby doesn't have the triple-double numbers of other MVP favourites like Nicola Jokic and Josh Giddey. Those two fill up the stats sheet in a way Wemby doesn't. Something to keep an eye on as the race heats up.
