On this day in 2003... Paul Pierce TOLD THE TRUTH, capping his explosive 21-point 3rd quarter with this iconic jumper 🔥
He finished with 37p, 10r and 7a in the Celtics' Game 4 win!
Jonathan Kuminga shouldn’t make the same mistake Dennis Schroder did.
Schroder famously turned down a big-money extension from the Lakers… and ended up settling for far less 😬
Now, Kuminga is entering a critical point in his career, where contract talks and long-term value start to matter.
Yes, he’s younger, more athletic, and arguably has a higher ceiling than Schroder ever did, but the lesson remains: don’t overplay your hand.
Betting on yourself is part of the game… but timing, fit, and humility are just as important.
Kuminga has the talent, now it’s about making the right moves off the court too 💯
This player embodies many of the issues often criticized in today's generation of basketball athletes. Despite having accomplished little so far, he is already making demands about where he wants to play.
Dallas’ Jason Kidd
Minnesota’s Chris Finch
Houston’s Ime Udoka
Atlanta’s Quin Snyder
Chicago’s Billy Donovan
The Knicks have been denied permission to speak to all of them this week for their head coaching vacancy.
Pacers trailed by 9 with 2:52 to play. In play by play era (since start of 1997 playoffs), teams were 0-121 in NBA Finals when trailing by 7+ points in final 3:00 of 4th quarter or OT before tonight
Per the great @StatsWilliams:
Indiana just tied the largest 4th quarter comeback win in the Finals in the last 50 years.
I can't believe the Pacers did it again. What a remarkable run this has been. And what a start to these NBA Finals.
