This is the difference b/w basketball & hockey. Hockey fans don’t ever hold the Stanley Cup because they didn’t earn it. Only the players get to do that.

Speaking only for me (and perhaps others) there will be no whitewashing here.

I'm trying to think of a bigger disconnect between the likeability of a championship team and the likeability of the championship owner.

[Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch]

Legit happy for Mike Breen and I appreciate him coming on this podcast last week to talk about calling this series.

[Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch]

Yeah, I will not be clapping for Jim Dolan

[Stephen Beam @sbeam2011]

Even terrible owners like Jimmy Dolan can win championships

[Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow]

Don’t kick out your leg.

[Stephen Beam @sbeam2011]

@RefObserver17 He has embarrassed himself several times these playoffs.

Landon Donovan hairline is the real comeback story of the World Cup 😂

[Tom Crean @TomCrean]

Why not throw in @anthonyedwards too. It’s got about the same chance as happening as the one listed.

Merrill Hoge and Ron Jaworski would sit on ESPN and just teach you football. It was so sick

[Dan Wolken @DanWolken]

When I was in my 20s, Tiger and Phil were two of the 10 or 15 biggest stars in sports and it’s amazing in retrospect how little we knew about them at the time

[Carson Breber @Carsobi]

Dylan Harper has made 72 restricted-area FGs in these playoffs at a 67.2% clip.

That's the most restricted-area FGM by any PG in a single postseason since Russell Westbrook in 2014, who did so on 53.3% FG.

We're talking about a rookie here. Unfathomable driving talent.

[Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix]

I can’t get past this. And it’s not just the zeroes throwing stuff. Who celebrates the biggest win in franchise history by going to the hotel of the losing team?

[Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch]

This is a great first question by Scott Van Pelt.

"How do you make sense of this scene and your role in creating it?"

Question is open-ended and lean. It highlights the excitement of the moment.

Most importantly, it structured so that O.G. can give an expansive answer. That gets the subject into the conversation, creates an initial dynamic between two people, and off you go.

Great work.

We love how John Calipari attends basketball games in the same attire he coaches them.

[Stephen Beam @sbeam2011]

@LRiddickESPN I don’t think so

[Stephen Beam @sbeam2011]

@timkawakami He is in a sense penalized for playing that many playoff games

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

Say Brendan Sorsby throws two picks in the first half of a game — you’ll have people wondering if he had money on the Tech under.

Every play will be scrutinized and questioned.

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

No one cares at all about Texas Tech

They don’t want dudes who gambled on their sport to be able to play. Texas Tech is delusional
