Don't mind me, I'm just saving this in a safe place for if/when the Lakers get Ball, and suddenly Simmons acts like he's not worth a damn, I'm going to come crashing down on his head with both nuts.

Q: Celts get the first pick, who you taking?
— Andy, Leominster, Mass.

BS: Lonzo. You don’t just get a potential superstar; you get someone who generates a completely different rhythm for your team. Lonzo shows up and suddenly you’re pushing the ball with pace, you’re always making the extra pass, you always have your hands up, you’re always moving downhill. He’s contagious. He’s like one of those SNL cast members who makes every sketch better even if he doesn’t have a ton of lines — he’s basically Will Ferrell. And you couldn’t pick a better professional era for him than right now. Oh, everyone’s running the floor shooting 3s and playing slash-and-kick? Great! My name is Lonzo, I’m here to help! Stick Lonzo on any NBA team and they’re better within two months. Any of them. All 30. I think he’s brilliant. I’ve seen these other guys before; I’ve never seen anything quite like Lonzo. (Uh-oh, I just guaranteed that he goes 3-for-16 with nine turnovers against Kentucky tonight.)

The game 7 lob from Kobe to Shaq will always send shivers down my spine. I ran around my house cheering so loud when it happened.
