The paint belongs to me.
Every drive gets challenged. Every rebound gets earned. Every possession is a statement.
The Brow is back. Time to get to work.
Letโs hoop. ๐

Draymond Green explains to Shaquille OโNeal why Kobe Bryant is often left out of the GOAT conversation
Shaquille OโNeal: โHow come my guyโs not in that conversation?โ
Draymond Green: โKobe? Yes, for sure. One hundred percent.โ
โHereโs why I think heโs not.โ
โNumber one, he played with you, and people hold that against him.โ
โNumber two, Kobe kind of fell in a weird era.โ
โWhen Shaq left, the Lakers had a few rough years.โ
โThey werenโt winning, even though Kobeโs numbers were incredible.โ
โAt the same time, LeBron was rising in Cleveland and making his name.โ
โI donโt think Kobe was the consensus best player in the league for long enough.โ
โThen LeBron entered the conversation.โ
โFrom that point on, it became a tug of war.โ
Kevin Durant says the Warriors never addressed the Draymond Green incident, ultimately leading to him leaving the team
โIt wasn't the argument. It was the way that everybody, Steve Kerr, acted like it didn't happen. Bob Myers then tried to just discipline you and think that that would put the mask over everythingโ
โI really felt like that was such a big situation for us as a group, the first time we went through something like that. We had to get that shit all outโ
โI remember watching The Last Dance. And when Scottie didn't go into the game, the whole team in the locker room said, โScottie, that was fucked up that you did thatโโ
โWe needed that. We just needed to throw all of that shit out on the table and say, โYo, Dray, K, that was fucked up that we even had to go through that. Let's just wipe our hands of that and go finish the task.โ I don't think we did that. We tried to dance around itโ
โI just didn't like how all of that, just the vibe between all of that, it just made shit weird to me. And I'd rather us be who we say we are. Family first. Communication is key. We didn't show that. That's what rubbed me the wrong way more than anythingโ
PJ Tucker believes LeBron is heading to the Warriors:
"I got him going Golden State. I like LeBron in Golden State. Oh my god... AD about to get out of Washington. They going to get AD. AD and LeBron to Golden State."

The Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled to play against each other on October 6th as the Warriors first preseason game.
Could this be LeBron's first game against his former team ๐
The Golden State Warriors are as involved as any team in the LeBron James sweepstakes and him signing with the Warriors is still โvery much on the tableโ, per @JakeLFischer
Dwyane Wade says itโs difficult for LeBron James to retire because heโs still playing at an elite level:
โIโm just here to appreciate what Iโm witnessingโฆbecause weโve never seen this before. It has to suck a little bit to get to this point in your career and still be really goodโฆ.like I can still play โ I can go play right now and still be able to play but I wonโt be that good so itโs easy for me to decide to walk away. Itโs hard to make that decision when youโre still really f*cking goodโฆ.how do you walk away from being a GOAT when youโre still a GOAT?โ
