"Football player"

The juxtaposition of that dunk to Shannon Sharpe debacling a potential LeBron football career was poetic

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Might not need a big though. It’s just Embiid you gotta worry about. He’s not going to beat you by himself and I don’t trust any one else on that team.

Adding another big wouldn't hurt either. BKN may not even be worried about Philly. Nets tryna match up with LAL. There's no doubt in my mind KD and KI both know they goin to the Finals

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

LAL 5-2 without AD.

Last year in the regular season, Lakers had a winning record without AD. Meanwhile LAL record wasn't as good when Lebron missed time.

But the truth is Bron and AD both need each other just like Curry and Klay, Kawhi and PG, Tatum and Brown, Jokic and Murray, etc etc.

No single superstar can carry a team deep into the playoffs by himself.

Don’t get much better then that

Both Sean May and Adam Morrison were major NBA busts, but at least May looks like he showers regularly. Can’t say the same for AMMO.

I don't think AMMO knows where he is here

 

[storm2006]

I know he wasn’t on the Bobcats but I truly believed Rashad McCants had next. Eem dated a Kardashian earlier in his career

Adam Morrison is a 2x NBA Champion. More than Kai and Jim can say. KD is in the conversation doe.

 

[spacedoodoo]

Jazz could very well be better without Conley, but the numbers suggest otherwise. Need a lot more consistency from Bojan after the good game he had. Royce played good D but was horrible offensively

 

[trynafeelmink]

Nate Duncan trending because of that Nerd Meme warms my heart

This joe Johnson interview is great. Dude is countrier than a syrup sandwich

I was going to post it for BIG LEEMELONE to listen to on his morning drive.

I am noticing Jack has a tendency to "One Up" or "Me Too" a lotof statements made by the guests. Start paying attention to it addict4sneakers . - I swear he did it like 4 times during the Joe JOhnson talk.

But BIG LEEMELONE

All-Star game sounds like a great idea though

In Marcus Thompson's 2017 book -- Golden: The Miraculous rise of Stephen Curry -- it was asserted that Jackson once asked Curry to take part in something of a spiritual healing ceremony in his church. From Thompson:

A part of the tradition at Jackson's church was a spirited service including worshippers jogging along the walls of the congregation in praise. Curry, two days removed from his latest sprain, found himself taking laps with Jackson and the other members filled with the spirit. Then after Jackson's sermon, his wife and co-pastor, Desiree, continued the worship with an impromptu sermon and benediction. She also called Curry to the altar.

They took off his shoes and socks, anointed his ankle with oil and prayed for healing. The parishioners lifted their voices in chants and amens, calling on God to bless one of His Christian ambassadors. Service at Jackson's church was much more passionate and engaging than Curry was used to back in Charlotte. But he humbly accepted the blessing that was being offered and returned to his seat with a smile on his face.

"Where you going?" Desiree asked the star point guard in front of the congregation. Curry responded with his go-to look of bewilderment, a half smile and widened eyes. He thought he was supposed to return back among the flock when she was done.

"You don't get a blessing from the Lord and just walk off!" she shouted. "Show us you believe in the power of God."

It took Curry a second to understand what she meant. Then the old Bible stories rushed to his mind. Like when Jesus healed the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda, that man had to pick up his mat and walk. If he believed he was healed, he needed to show it.

So Curry started shimmying and hopping on his right foot, much to the delight of the congregation.

"I didn't know what else to do," Curry said






Mark Jackson says Warriors 'narrative' has kept him from second coaching chance, but it's a lot more than that https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...hing-chance-but-its-a-lot-more-than-that/amp/

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I don't know if it was on purpose or not but them playing Murder Was The Case after Anthony Edwards dunk is hilarious

 

[lawdog1]

I wonder if Steph’s catching-the-Holy-Ghost shimmy was just like his on-court celebration shimmy?

 

[Cashflow]

 

[lawdog1]

The blog boy era is weird.

I don’t remember in the pre-Internet days, when a dunk would get on the TV highlights, we’d be like, “but what did his box score look like though?”

Q does this on Knuckleheads too lol

 

[amitt5504]

All-Star game sounds like a great idea though

Sous Chef hasn’t really looked right either. Some games he looks fine and others it looks like he’s struggling to do the basics

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Q does this on Knuckleheads too lol

Aight, I will start paying attention.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

My guy Kawhi is ready for whatever. And Playoff P just warming up.

Clip City all the way. Lebron ain’t s**** without the Unibrow and everybody knows it.

Clippers would beat Lakers even with AD. Especially this season AD

I see some people ain't learned

 

[pums]

lol Edwards has been playin better lately it’s always gonna be up and down for a rookie not names zion

But the truth is Bron and AD both need each other just like Curry and Klay, Kawhi and PG, Tatum and Brown, Jokic and Murray, etc etc.

No single superstar can carry a team deep into the playoffs by himself.

it's a team effort. I remember how that 2002 Sacramento Kings made that superstars stacked Lakers squad shake in their boots. the Lakers practically needed Tim Donaghy to beat that team.
