Chris Wallace told me the greatest scout in the NBA was BJ Johnson & I should talk to him first. I followed his advice & what followed was an amazing 14 yr friendship. He was by my side for every key decision. I cant believe he is gone. RIP BJ

Say it with me again - players are fouled because the other team cannot stop them...

I have always believed that greatness emerges when talent meets relentless dedication. Joel’s season was legendary and the MVP award is the latest milestone of his decorated career. It has been a privilege to watch Joel over the last three seasons & I know this won’t be his last
Cant say I agree with Shaq's opinion that if the NBA resumes, any championship would have an asterisk next to it. A title isn't usually won in perfect conditions. There are always variances in who you faces, injuries, officiating...this year the variances are just more extreme.
I like Rick Carlisle’s coaching ability, but he is dead wrong here. He has forgotten he won a title posting up Dirk N and he was 7 ft. The beauty of all around basketball has been taken away. He said a 7’3 guy posting up is a bad shot. He played with Bird, McHale and Parish SMH
Walked into restaurant and a very nice man said hello to me & asked me to say hello to his kids. I come over and fist bump them and say "go Rockets!" The kid (about 5 years old) then exclaims "Rockets are bad." I love how kids keep you humble...
What I am mostly excited for with the announcement that we will have 10k fans in the playoffs is that during opposing team lineup introductions the players will now for sure hear how much they truly suck.
This is my current favorite

- let me create a mascot better than pathetic
@SixersFranklin
! Our mascot is an utter loser & this team deserves better.
I will happily use my creative powers to create a new mascot free of charge.
Does Ballsack Sports sound like the name of a trusted news source? Plenty of NBA fans—and media outlets—have taken posts from the egregiously fake news outlet as gospel.

My Dad took me to my first baseball game to make sure I saw Hank Aaron before he retired. I was so young I barely remember it except my Dad telling me over and over "there he is!" - Rest in Peace
Be patient - there is a learning curve on this. For a few years we tried drafting players we thought were terrible but it didn't work out for us so we went back to drafting players we thought were good at basketball.
Seeing lots of reports of GMs and coaches being very high on the players they drafted. Smart of them not to draft guys they think suck at football. Now I understand how they got so far in their profession.
