KG is in that Allen Iverson group of ex players where you get 0 salty comments, no crazy outlandish takes and just a genuine appreciation and love for the game of basketball and this new generation.
KG: “Bro you blocking everything, f*cking blocking everything.”
Chet: “Yessir I learned it from somebody.”
*Points to KG*
This exchange between Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren and Kevin Garnett is awesome 🤝⛈️

Bruh the Timberwolves are:
- 6 games ahead of the Clippers
- 9.5 games ahead of the 9th seed Pelicans
- 12.5 game ahead of the 10th seed
and STILL having to compete in the play-in. They gotta create some threshold for that like the bubble. Feel like that’s unfair.

The Raptors do not win a chip in 2019 without Marc Gasol.
He was the backline to every defensive coverage for Embiid, Giannis, Steph, etc.
And then helped them to a really successful season post chip.

Folks… watch Victor Wembanyama absolutely cook the Warriors
1) Runs a PnR like a guard and takes the contact on the jumper… swish
2) this time as the roller, gets the switch and finishes a ridiculous lay over Klay
3) defies physics and blocks Klay’s 3 then the dunk
4) L-O-L

This is why the Knicks traded for OG Anunoby. Completely nullified the Bucks offense in the 2nd half last night, had 4 steals and 2 blocks in an all-important win.

In the Raptors 7 year playoff run they had:
- One of the best winning percentages in the NBA
- Were tied for the longest active playoff streak
- Franchise record for most wins in a season (59)
- Two COTY
- 1 MIP
- 12 All-Star appearances
- 1 NBA championship

This man is 1 more win away from his second Finals appearance. Kyle Lowry isn’t the same guy he used to be physically, but so many of the intangible things he does on the court are still there. Leading bench units, managing the pace, the swipe-downs on defense, taking the charge.
