2001 NBA WCFinals on @TNTSportsUS
Lakers vs. Spurs [speaking on Kobe 🐍]
• Danny Ainge: “Well Kevin (both Kobe & Shaq) are playing great, but Kobe is being called by Shaq the best player in the NBA. Shaq is referring to (Kobe) as his idol.”
———————————————————
@Spurs🏴☠️ players commenting on their game plan:
• SF Sean Elliot
“We definitely have to have people come & collapse (on Kobe)… hopefully he’ll pass the ball out or force a bad shot. When you let someone like (Kobe) dictate what he wants to do.. you are in for a LONG NIGHT.
• Guard Antonio Daniels
“Keep (Kobe) in front of you… that’s all you can do. Even thought it’s easier said than done you have to make him elevate over you & HOPE he misses.”
———————————————————
Ainge: “I like what those guys said.. (but) the twin towers have to step up their game, they played more like the twin sisters in game 1, and speaking of twin towers.. let’s got to Craig Sager WHO IS WITH THE GUY TOWERING OVER EVERYONE 🐍.”
Sager: “The Spurs say they are going to try to make you a passer, & (only) a jump shooter. Do you expect a brick wall down there?.”
Kobe: “We are going to read it and see.”
Sager: “Shaquille O’Neal said after the first game WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT, that you are the best player in the league. Coming from Shaq what does that mean to you?”
Kobe: “Well it’s a huge compliment, but the most important thing is just moving on and playing tonight’s game.”
Bad Bunny's full message to ICE and all republicans during his Grammys speech is SO important:
"We're not savage. We're not animals. We're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I want to say to the people...I know it's tough not to hate on these days, and I was thinking sometimes we get contaminamos. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that's more powerful than hate is love, so, please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. If we don't hate them, we love our people, and we love our family. And that's the way to do it, with love."
49ers are 12-4 and potentially playing for the #1 seed despite...

- Nick Bosa (Torn ACL)
- Brock Purdy missed 6 weeks with turf toe
- Ricky Pearsall missed 7 games (PCL)
- George Kittle was out for 4 weeks and tonight
- Brandon Aiyuk not taking a snap all year
