Kawhi being the first player to win 3 championships and 3 FMVPs with 3 different franchises and giving the LA Clippers their first ring....in Disney World?!

Priceless :nthat:
If Kawhi does this, before he turns 30, that’s so impressive. I think it’s even more impressive considering how overlooked he was coming into the league. 15th pick, viewed as a defender and project... For him to ascend this much is wild.

76ers 'Exclusively' Using Ben Simmons At Power Forward

It's about damn time.


Also, Shake going from being out of the lineup to being the starting PG. :pimp:

I was thinking about it this morning....it really took a global pandemic and four months in quarantine for Brett Brown to finally realize Ben Simmons needs to exclusively play the 4. I guess this is what @Beach Em didn't wear a mask for.
 

Anyone remember this?


"But when the Knicks went down by 50 points against the Celtics on Thursday night, superfan Edward Barnes had had enough.

In a move captured on national television, he ripped off his $220 Knicks jersey and chucked it onto the court in disgust - sending the Boston crowd into a frenzy and highlighting the futility of his beloved team."

The Knicks-obsessed mechanic said he tore off his jersey to make a statement to the players. "I wanted to get their attention," Barnes said, his eyebrow ring, in blue for the other Knicks color, glinting in the light. "You don't lose by 50 points in the NBA."

Becoming a symbol of the Knicks' failures was never his plan.

Barnes drove up to Boston on Wednesday night with his nephew Larry Betro to celebrate Betro's 24th birthday. The pair had $300 seats - four rows behind the basket and not far from Craig Sager, a TNT sideline reporter.

With the Knicks trailing big in the first quarter, Barnes made a bet with Sager that if his team went down by 50 points he would give up his coveted jersey.

Word of the bet spread through the crowd with lightning speed. By the time the fourth quarter came around and the Knicks were losing by 40, the fans were in a frenzy.

"Throw it! Throw it!" they yelled.

And when Boston's lead reached 50 points with three minutes left in the game, Barnes did just that. The game stopped. The fans erupted.

"The whole crowd was behind it," he said. "I had to protect my honor."

After the game, Barnes went into a bar across the street from the stadium. The dejected New Yorker was received by the dozens of Celtic fans inside like a conquering hero. "They all stopped and started clapping," he said. "They bought me a jillion drinks and shots."

I had Raiders season tickets during their darkest times (Jamarcus-year before they drafted Carr) and during a game dude next to us snapped and tossed his Jamarcus authentic, people were going crazy asking for it and he ended up giving it to my little brother because people were yelling "give it to the kid!"
I thanked him and I think it hit him that he tossed a $300 jersey and was like "you think you can get me a beer for that one bro?" :lol
I bought him a few
 
Agreed. It’s crazy his career started with a shortened season and ended with a shortened season.
Maaaaan, the slander Lebbywinks would get if this was true about his career. But it's not Lebron, so it's just a cool random fact about an amazing NBA player.
