Nikola Jokic took his number. Jalen Brunson took his city… but we can’t let Carmelo Anthony be erased and forgotten.

One of the most dominant mid-range scorers in his prime, arguably the best‼️

@kylekuzma Yes bro cops all over the country have been using them to stalk women and their exes

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

Name a role player in NBA history that you loved. I’ll start:

Courtney Lee. A perfect 3&D guy that will never be forgotten ‼️

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope intends to sign with the Sixers.

Philly now gets an unreal 3&D specialist off the bench. They are absolutely STACKED 😳

[BODEGA PEPTIDES @bigsnugga]

jalen brunson could pull his meat out on dykman right now and someone would jerk him off without him asking

[annoying ohtani fan 🇲🇽🇺🇸 @owndodgerhaters]

@LakeShowYo Him saying “lebron is racist”

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

LeBron James to the Sixers!

It’s all going to depend on health obviously but if the Sixers are healthy, that starting lineup is LOADED 😳

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

LeBron James on his Free Agency decision:
“I won’t hold you guys up too much longer.”

The Decision part 2 incoming, we’ve been ready 👀

[New York Basketball @NBA_NewYork]

OG Anunoby wins ESPY for Best Play

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

It’s only summer league, but Darryn Peterson looks special.

He might be the one 👀

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

Through both summer league games Cedric Coward has looked confident and aggressive.

He’s going to have an even better year 2 👀

[SNY Knicks @sny_knicks]

"The Knicks could have, in theory, signed Mitchell Robinson to the deal that the Celtics signed him to if they were willing to go above the second apron. They choose not to. Now, they have to fill some holes at center."

@IanBegley with more on Mitchell Robinson leaving the Knicks to sign a three-year, $47.4M deal with the Celtics and what could be next for New York

[Knicks Union 🗽 @knicks_union]

I'm actually going to throw up

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

Today is a sad day. Mitchell Robinson is no longer a Knick. He’s now a Celtic.

But at least as the longest tenured Knick, who went through the same pain that Knicks fans did, he finally got to experience winning a championship with us 🧡💙

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

From an entertainment perspective, LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards is going to be an outrageously fun backcourt.

An interesting fit for sure 👀

[sports live tweeter yadira @jonmoxIeys]

knicks said we got donte at home

[Josh Hart @joshhart]

I beg your pardon….HE DOES WHAT??

[Avery Torff @averysnbatakes]

I love this Tyler Nickel pick for the Knicks and I really think he’s someone who can make an immediate impact.

He’s 6’6”, can shoot the lights out, and is a willing defender ‼️

Roommates. Leon Rose. Wednesday 6/24. 🏆

Sandra Brunson on LinkedIn: "There are moments as a parent that defy words—this was one of them.

Watching our son, Jalen, and his teammates fight their way back from a 29‑point deficit was an emotional experience I’ll never forget. Pride, anxiety, hope, disbelief—every feeling showed up at once.

In those final minutes, I honestly don’t remember much of what happened on the court. I couldn’t bring myself to watch. Instead, I listened—leaning into the sounds of the arena, the gasps, the cheers, the collective energy of the fans—letting their reactions tell the story when my eyes couldn’t.

That’s what this photo represents to me. The tension. The vulnerability. The faith. The quiet prayers happening in the loudest building imaginable.

What I do remember clearly is this: resilience is real. Belief matters. And when preparation meets perseverance, anything is possible.

So incredibly proud—not just of the comeback, but of the character it takes to keep fighting when the odds say otherwise.
💙🏆🧡

📸 Thanks to Amy (MSIL) for capturing this moment and sharing this photo days later. The feelings were real and even now, I still feel a little anxious just looking at it. What parent wouldn’t."
