Top 3 greatest basketball person (skill+personality) of all time!!! (I cant even think of who would fill the other 2 slots... hmmnnn, maybe Grant and Tim).
A real class, immensely skillful but hed never tell you about it, no on court gimmicks, handshakes, fake shit, always friendly to the fans, does massive community work in silence, fights with Cuban but does so respectfully, submitted himself to his coaches, liked by everyone and their dogs and their mothers, great self-deprecating humor, intense competitor who played 1 million percent all the time, all around great guy!
Story time. Once upon a long time ago I was part of a low ranking group of interns assigned to look into mountains of footage of dream team related stuff for a 10-year anniversary or some special stuff. I dont remember which progs we got it from, Action, Jam, or one of the regular blitz progs, but there was a lengthy interview/coverage of MJ and Barkley on Dirk. Im recalling from a sketchy dozen year old memory, but it had Chuck being interviewed about the opposing team and then he saw Dirk in Germany. He calls up MJ and tells him to do your Nike thing and make Dirk happen in the NBA even though he is about to enter military service immediately after the Olympics. MJ didnt hesitate and guess who he talked to: Adam Silver, then COO and known league-wide as the henchman in the NBA admin. I dont remember if there was footage of Silver, but Barkley was adamant NBA or Nike or Jordan himself do everything to get Dirk to the NBA before the Olympics was over.
So tldr: direct line from GOAT-Barkley-Present Commish-to-Dirk!
Turns out , Kawhi Leonard is a Math Guy! Is he into Led Zeppelin too?

she is the opposite of camera shy. she spends lots of time in the public eye and is constantly yapping away about the Lakers. Now its crisis time.. and we get a boiler plate tweet as a response. She is failing.
Even when the Raptors are not playing their players are having a tough time staying healthy. OG Anunoby had an emergency appendectomy last night. Any surgery that is not with an arthroscope requires significant recovery time.
Will this open some playing time for Chris Boucher?
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that former Cleveland Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue is a strong front-runner to replace Walton.

What championship-winning star is going to want to sign there?
I don't think any FA maybe they can trade for AD I have no idea. Perhaps raps get eliminated early and kawhi decides to go to LA but I think the clips are more attractive.
Embiid is listed as "doubtful" for tomorrow. He didn't seem to confident in an interview today. He has tendonitis in his left leg. An issue with an RSI like tendonitis is that it limits your practice time.
Also, the preferred 76ers starting line up has played very few games together.
I mean, ridding yourself of Magic is always good (unless he is on the court), ridding yourself of Luke is probably unwise considering he seems to be a top 50% coach.

To anyone still on the fence, are you open to the idea that Lebron may actually be involved in one way or another in the spate of coach firing he leaves in his wake? I am the first to celebrate Lebron's greatness as a player, but I am not blind to the negative things he brings/represents.
Spicy!!!!! Luke Walton is staying in Cali and is the new coach of the up and coming Kings. From one grumpy to king to a bunch of young kings. Exciting.
First, you should know that not all bookmakers accept bets on basketball in the traditional "live." Some bookmakers take live chances during halftime matches. These betting companies should be immediately excluded from your "basketball" list. They are not suitable for live betting. Secondly, it is advisable to take a closer look at betting www.americanodds.com/nba/picks in the NBA championship. In the beginning, it can be very effective tactics to play at inflated odds in games with clear favorites and outsiders. The fact is that during the game, teams can break away from each other on points many times. It is enough to have a 5-10 points gap for the bookie to react and change the odds to a higher one. The favorite team will usually "turn on" and beat their opponent; sensations are sporadic here.
