If Bronny is drafted by the Lakers and plays with his dad, God bless them. That's pretty cool. But I do crack up at the flagrant disregard for NBA talent some of these people have. I can't remember who it was, but someone last week was saying that Bronny is just as good as the lesser players on team benches (i.e. the 14th guy on a roster). Let's take the Wolves, for example. Luka Garza got picked up to be on the full-time roster just before the playoffs began. Dude averaged 24 and 9 and was the Naismith Player of the Year in college, and Bronny is just as good as him? And people love to cite Giannis's brother. His brother played professionally in Greece, bounced around NBA teams, and was on their national team. I am not saying he isn't on the Bucks' roster because of nepotism, but it is disrespectful to say Bronny is on his level.

Is that enough help for LeBron? It'd be great if he ends up with his son, and 8 weeks into the season with the Lakers (or Suns) and LeBron starts passive-aggressively subtweeting about the lack of talent surrounding him because his team is 13-15.

Bronny is staying in the draft and his team has announced he will only work out for the Lakers and Suns.

Watched that clip again yesterday. It's awesome.

When I first got Sirius satellite radio in 2005, he had a show on the Grateful Dead channel that would air on Saturday night, appropriately called, "One More Saturday Night." It was the coolest thing ever and a big reason I love The Dead. I am not old enough to witness his basketball play, but from all I've consumed, you could argue he was the greatest college player ever and the ultimate "what if" guy had he not been injured. I was always taken with the reverence he had for John Wooden and the love he had for that man.

Big difference in the #1 franchise player on a roster and #3 (Porzingis is probably #4 or #5 for the Celts). The Cs still have two All NBA starters and multiple all defensive NBA players before getting to KP. Having him is just a luxury.

From what I gather, Rudy was supposed to funnel him inside the paint like on the previous play, but Luka got him squared up. In short, you have to send someone else at him and make them beat you. If Lively makes a play going at the rim, then so be it.

I felt bad for Gobert. That’s coaching malpractice putting him in that situation. You could see that coming a mile away.

Is this for real? I've never seen a progressive discipline structure that involves five rounds of suspensions. What happened to the good ole American oral, written, suspension, demotion, and/or discharge?

I have no clue what happened, but I love the Zapruder film-like attention these videos are receiving.

To me, it is the race vs racist argument. Acknowledging her race as part of the package is fine, but the defining characteristic of Clark is her game.

I look at it different in the basketball realm. Steph is who first think of as a natural comparison and it makes sense. Both are having revolutionary impacts, but Clark is different in that she’s physically able to do what most women can’t (at this time). The guys could physically do it, but it was just a taboo way of playing. Now it’s all you see.

Hill said race (duh) and her sexuality (probably to a lesser degree) played a role in her rise to fame. That is not exactly breaking news or a scorching take. She didn't say she was a bum on the court. This is on par with someone saying Sydney Sweeny's hotness played a role in her rising to stardom and the faux outrage crowd saying, "Hater. She is only popular because she is a gifted actor!" While Hill may peddle in the race-baiting game a little much for me, this is pretty tame.

I never pay attention to gas prices as it doesn't impact my life in any way. Meaning, I'm going to drive to and from my job, gym, etc. But I did read last week that prices should start to ease their way down through the 4th.

As a diehard Wolves fan, I'm pretty sure I died yesterday. I am still floating on cloud 9.
