Mike Brown: “I’m scared to death one of these teams are going to poach my guys. I’m surprised nobody has come at Chris Jent for a head job yet. He’s won Summer League and he’s a lead assistant here. Jordan Brink is fantastic. He’s been doing this (challenges) two years in a row.”
KAT:
"I just felt a calm and a peace that had to be come from the woman above (his mom). I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. It felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands"
8 years ago, LeBron did one of the funniest things ever.
Warriors fans were saying he only dropped 41 in Game 5 because Draymond was suspended.
So LeBron came back and dropped exactly 41 on Draymond the next game with better efficiency 😭
@TWolvesLead Foster & Brothers shouldn't be in any playoff series after watching the Spurs-Thunder game 5 & their terrible, inconsistent officiating this playoffs
Anthony Edwards explains why he went to dap the Spurs up with 8 Minutes to Play:
“I feel like Everybody just got their own opinion… When you win a Playoff Series, Everybody celebrating at the end of the game. So they gon be smiling, while im pissed off & we just lost so… I didn’t want to go dap up em N****s at all… That woulda been another conversation about me. I gave em N****s Respect they deserved… I did what I did, That’s why Im me & y’all whoever y’all are.”
Jay Williams says he can’t root for the Thunder because of all the foul baiting:
“As a fan of the game, I just want to see the game respected. There are times where I watch OKC play, I don’t feel like they respect the process of the game. It’s too much foul baiting. When you fall down 95% of every shot you take in the 4th, I get physiologically exhausted”
Russell Westbrook is reportedly the "kindest teammate" behind the scenes:
- Left an $8k tip for housekeepers in the NBA Bubble
- Gave Capela a luxury bracelet right off his wrist because Capela liked it
- Took Alex Abrines out to dinner when he felt lonely in OKC
- Gave away both cars that he won as a two-time All-Star MVP to families in need
- Sends Jordans and tracksuits to EVERY team staffer every year
- On a minimum deal in Denver Russ paid for dinners, bought clothes for teammates and more
- Great private charity work off the court
Russ is one of the most misunderstood players ever.
The Timberwolves are expected to seek out teams on the trade market interested in Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle in order to build a multi-team Giannis Antetokounmpo deal.
Minnesota’s ideal scenario is creating a title roster around Giannis, Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels.
Throwback 🔥
Josh Hart on being fatigued
“You got people getting up at 6 am doing 12 hour shifts. Those people are tired. For us, we’re playing a game…. We gotta keep that in perspective.”
