Harden's career earnings will now reach $511 million, making him the fourth player in NBA history to eclipse the $500 million mark, joining the 76ers' LeBron James, the Rockets' Kevin Durant and the Warriors' Stephen Curry. 

Harden turns 37 next Wednesday (Aug. 26), and when the 11-time NBA All-Star officially signs, he will become the second player in league history to sign for over $90 million in guaranteed salary at age 37 or older, with LeBron being the other.

Buss family sabotaged LeBron’s 8 years in LA just to sell the second LeBron leaves.

Job was finished, huh?

I won’t forget it.

Breaking: The Buss family has decided to sell its remaining 17.8% ownership stake in the Los Angeles Lakers to new majority owners Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, sources tell ESPN. 

The Buss family trust -- composed of siblings Jeanie, Jim, Johnny, Janie, Joey and Jesse -- received majority votes to allow trustees to execute the sale. It required four of six votes to enact the tag-along provision of Mark Walter's sale to Kushner and Iger, which valued the Lakers at $12.5 billion.

Draymond Green says fans called Russell Westbrook “Westbrick” for ten years then loved him the day he quit, and Westbrook heard every word

“Basketball fans, y’all suck. Basketball fans suck. And by the way, I am a basketball fan, so you can throw me in that category too. But basketball fans suck.”

“Because for the last 8 to 10 years, all this guy has heard is how bad he sucks, how he don’t shoot it well, how he stat pads, and how he messes up teams.”

“Make no mistake about it. “Westbrick,” and all the things y’all said about him. And the moment he steps aside, ‘oh man, y’all did Russ wrong. Can’t tell me he couldn’t be on a team. Wow, how he played the game. Gonna miss him.’ All these great, beautiful things.”

“Why we can’t feel that when you gone? It’s like when somebody die. Everybody’s like, ‘oh man, best dude ever, best woman ever, would take the shirt off their back.’ Everybody got all these great things to say. But when that person was living, you don’t show that love.”

“Why is it that Russell Westbrook has to announce his retirement, unexpectedly, to finally see the love that he deserves? Why is that?”

You won’t see any NBA player do this on Christmas Day this season. There’s generational and then there’s once in a lifetime. MF Wilt!

The 76ers' home opener against the Cavs is 8.5x as expensive as last season's home opener.

Cheapest ticket is $571 on @TickPick 🤯🤯

[Polymarket Hoops @PolymarketHoops]

The Houston Rockets had BOTH an opening day game and a Christmas Day game last season…

They have none this year.

@_karateChris The league, media, and fans have never gotten over Oscar's move. They will always demonize Black men exercising free agency.
