I may refer to him as ‘Filipino Jackson’ from time to time but IN THE Philippines Erik Spoelstra is truly transcendent. Listen to Episode 5 of Hoops Paradise: The Philippines Love of the Game featuring the first Asian-American head coach in the history of the NBA.

I asked
@jaytatum0
about his Lion King lunchbox:
“Deuce loves lions and loves Lion King and I always carry my food to the game so it’s just a little something for when he sees the picture he sees that daddy has a Lion King lunchbox.”
🥺
The Raptors locker room is quiet, reserved, again no celebration.... their poise on this stage against this team in this building has been beyond impressive.
Zion Williamson took knee to knee hit in first half. Will not return with left knee injury. It's not expected to be serious but the Pelicans are taking a cautious approach with their
#1
pick during this summer league.
Lillard on Pat Bev yelling "Dame time" after his two missed freethrows:
"To me, that just shows what they expect from me...He remembers it firsthand from when I was a second-year player and he was in Houston."
JUST IN: A suspect has been arrested after 8 people were killed in a series of shootings at 3 Atlanta-area massage parlors. Authorities said many of the victims appeared to be of Asian descent.

@carmeloanthony
on if he has similar plans as LeBron to play with his son in the NBA.
Both Melo and LeBron are entering their 20th season.
So Steph gonna put up 51 in three qtrs, KD treat MSG like Rucker with 25 in the 4th and Klay break the NBA single game record (previously held by Steph) for 3s in three quarters... all in the past 4 days? K.
Steve Kerr said James Wiseman and Draymond Green did not practice today.
When asked about James Wiseman’s absence: "I will not comment on that any further. You can make your own deductions."
“I know my body and I love to play basketball. Don’t ever get that twisted. It was definitely difficult this last year and a half to be missing all those games but I love to be on this goddamn court.” —Postgame with

Carmelo just did a LIVE 1-on-1 interview for an hour and didn’t dodge questions...You can tell he was hurt, vulnerable, frustrated but mostly he just wants to play. I hope we all see that happen next season.
James Harden when asked about not signing extension by deadline “I love it here, I feel at home. It’s nothing to worry about…For me individually, I just want to focus on this year.” He also said plainly “I don’t plan on leaving this organization.”
“Thon is like my little brother, this one hurts more than any trade that happened that I’ve been a part of but this is the business we work in.” -

“I’m not worrried about a reputation, I’m not worried about a legacy to leave, I’m just trying to be a human being and make the best decision for me and my family.”—a visibly annoyed
@KyrieIrving
when asked about his commitment to the Celtics after this season
Sources: After turning down an extension offer to become the first $50M a year player in league history, James Harden’s message to Houston is clear: Get me to Brooklyn. Rockets and Nets have been in contact, but there’s been no meaningful dialogue.
“When things become overwhelming in life sometimes you just have to take a step back and realize what’s important. And I love to play, there’s never been a question of committing myself.” —Kyrie, in part, on why he “just needed a pause”
To the AllLivesMatter people, Black Lives Matter is not about exclusion...in fact, it’s about INCLUSION.
Stop trying to make your own movement, be thankful and acknowledge you don’t need one!
