plan accordingly
the record is 5 #1 overall picks on the same roster
1959-60 Minneapolis #Lakers
Hot Rod Hundley 1957 #Royals - rights immediately traded to Lakers
Elgin Baylor 1958 #Lakers
Chuck Share 1950 #Celtics
Ray Felix 1953 #Bullets
Frank Selvy 1954 #Bullets
#Wizards now have 3 #1 overall picks on the roster:
Anthony Davis 2012
DeAndre Ayton 2018
AJ Dybantsa 2026
this is the 3rd time AD has been part of this trio
2019-20 #Lakers (LeBron, Dwight Howard)
2025-26 #Mavs (half the season - Kyrie - DNP, Cooper Flagg)
Just in: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Deandre Ayton to the Washington Wizards for Jaden Hardy and two Wizards second-round picks in 2031 and 2032, sources tell ESPN.
@Theo720521341 yes, absolutely hysterical..I'm rolling on the floor
Steph clearly follows that up with him & Magic being in the conversation: https://t.co/Ii7kkG0Rk6
I'd love to know where LeBron acknowledges anyone else here: https://t.co/dQRrThTZDd
LeBron spent 8 seasons w/ the #Lakers
-played in 70+ gms 2X (peak 71)
-missed the playoffs 2X
-swept 2X
-ousted in 1st rd 3X
-won a title during an interrupted covid season w/ no travel & fans
we continued to see things we never saw before..please don't take it for granted
@MortChristenson it's impossible to put all of that in a neat box where there's an even line of demarcation for everyone between prime & past prime as some thrive later in their careers..I like it all being inclusive as it's a career, not just a stretch of several seasons
so Brown & Embiid, who went after 1 another during the playoffs (a lot of jawing & chatting over flopping), can now coexist as teammates but Brown & the #Celtics couldn't move past their baggage
the drama in the NBA never adds up
teams in the East are being aggressive with trades because the last 2 postseasons have proved the conference is very much up for grabs so why not take a shot & move around some chess pieces
#Heat Giannis
#Raptors Kawhi
#Sixers Jaylen Brown
@Theo720521341 the greatest PG vs the greatest player ever are 2 very different things & in fairness to Steph, he said: "It's me & Magic, that's the conversation"
context matters & I also don't go around praising Steph left & right so there's no double standard from my perspective
Brown turns 30 in October
George is already 36
I understand matching contracts has to be taken into consideration but the best return the #Celtics could get right now in terms of proven talent for Jaylen was PG13?
once again, I'd rather keep Brown with Tatum
BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
@Antdog8923 coming from a so-called individual that conveniently hides behind a movie image & can't even properly identify themself..hysterical
amazing how those of you who fall under that umbrella have the same expansive vocabulary & resort to childish name calling
@CheefBasedGod well, he made the playoffs ever year with the #Bulls but not even Bill Russell made the Finals every year so that goes without saying for all legends
but my previous tweet demonstrates the major difference between the 2 when they got to the biggest stage
@Antdog8923 I'd like you to point out exactly where I typed he wasn't a great player
see a lot of you make assumptions & read into everything b/c it's not presented the exact way you approve..perhaps, don't always overreact
@Antdog8923 yes, on this forum every one has to think alike & can't see the world differently, especially in sports when it comes to discussing a player, who self-proclaimed to be the greatest ever & put himself on that pedestal
I'm so sorry I don't live in your echo chamber..what a crime
