Mitch Johnson:
"I don't get into social media. I think I've probably been fired 212 times, and we've traded Fox 72 times ... People have their opinions. I don't care ... De'Aaron Fox will have the basketball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow."
In all seriousness, why make a horror/suspense about an endangered animal that’s so docile it hasn’t killed a single human since the 1800s, they got enough on their plate
LeBron James explains what it really takes to stay with someone for 20+ years
"We've been together since high school, so shit ain't always gonna be a bed of roses in any relationship, let alone with someone that you've been living with for over 20 years"
"I think communication is number one. Being honest is number two. Number three is that you have to be okay with being uncomfortable in relationships sometimes. You can't always have it your way. You can't always think, 'My way or the highway.' That's never gonna work that way"
"They say, 'Happy wife, happy life.' Happy life, is that shit real, bro? But also, happy husband, happy loving"
Obviously was a rough end to Chet’s season but way too much overreaction and revisionism on his year overall
17/9/2 BLK on 65 TS% while finishing second in DPOY voting with big strides offensively
In the first two series he put up 18.6/9/2 BLK on 70 TS%
He’s gonna have to be better in this matchup going forward because we’re gonna face the Spurs again in the Playoffs, likely multiple times, but he was incredible this season and all the calls to trade him are extremely shortsighted and prisoner of the moment
He’s a DPOY level player who averages near 20 PPG at 24 years old, you never trade a player like that
