Jared McCain reveals that he cried when he was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers 🥲

“I was on the bus with the Sixers and we were heading to the airport in San Francisco. We just played Golden State

I texted my agent for a gym in L.A. and he called me, and I think he’s calling me about the gym. He is like, ‘They’re about to trade you.’

About five minutes later, Daryl Morey called me and told me I was traded… it was pretty wild, and I started crying right then.

Those are my brothers and still are my brothers to this day. It was definitely tough. They thought I was joking when I told them, and then I started crying. Then they were like, ‘Oh, this is serious.’ Then we got off the bus and they all came up to me and I still went on the plane with them to L.A.

I still miss Philly to this day. I never was able to see my house again because we were on the road. It’s little things like that. I miss my routine, but I’m definitely blessed to be here.”

It's so depressing that sports games completely stopped putting effort into immersion because it doesn't make them money

Bam Adebayo’s night was so legendary I saw people buying his jersey at halftime and throwing them on in the bathroom and I’m not even trolling

Mark Cuban says the NBA should embrace tanking:

“The NBA should worry more about fan experience than tanking. It should worry more about pricing fans out of games than tanking. You know who cares the least about tanking, a parent who can’t afford to bring their 3 kids to a game and buy their kids a jersey of their favorite player. Tanking isn’t the issue. Affordability and quality of game presentation are.”

NEW: #Spurs Hall of Famer Gregg Popovich was at practice this morning, seen spending individual time with Victor Wembanyama, Julian Champagnie, and his successor Mitch Johnson.

Coach Pop turned 77 last week.

Great seeing him in good spirits interacting with the guys!
