There is reportedly a huge pay gap between the actors in HBO’ “The Last of Us”.
According to Variety, Pedro Pascal received $600,000 per episode, while Bella Ramsey received $70,000, despite both being the protagonists of the series.
Kawhi was 25, arguably the best player in the league, playing in maybe the most convincing playoff game of his career when Zaza Pachulia undercut him.
Since that time he’s missed 242 games. We should almost be talking about him like we do Grant Hill and Brandon Roy.
Me thinking about Bron losing in the first-round for the first time ever.
But then remembering his critics told me losing in round one is better than losing in the Finals.
Trae Young says he’s ‘frustrated’ with the lack of calls
“Damian Lillard's never averaged 17 points probably since his rookie year. …I mean, Book's averaging 18. There's a lot of things that, when guys are driving straight and guys are getting knocked off balance”
(Via ESPN)
"Ben Simmons is not answering the phone calls, he don’t want to be with the 76ers, and from what I heard, he’s willing not to report to training camp, and will go as long as it takes for him to get out of Philly."

DeMar DeRozan gets showered after passing Elgin Baylor, Dwyane Wade, and Adrian Dantley on the all-time scoring list with his 46-point performance in Indy!
“I think truth is good for kids. We so busy lying, we don’t even recognize the truth no more in this society. We want everybody to feel good, that’s not the way life is.”
This one is a banger.
As the new head coach, Sanders encouraged the incumbent players on the team, which went 1-11 last season, to transfer out of Colorado to make room for what Sanders calls superior talent. More than 50 players decided to transfer.
In that one article,
- CP3 committed to the Thunder day one, despite not wanting to go there.
- CP3 took care of Bazley's mom
- CP3 is mentoring SGA
- CP3 bought the whole team suits
But he's constantly portrayed as a bad teammate on here
“I ain’t never been in no photo like this, man.”
Damian Lillard poses with Giannis, Khris Middleton, and Brook Lopez for Bucks Media Day 🔥

Chet and Wemby are rare, but Bol Bol has some of the same tools too. He just hasn’t been a priority for a franchise yet. At some point he’ll have to take over and impose his will. This next situation is crucial. Maybe a make or break.
Bucks felt Bud was outclassed in the playoffs and are now taking a hard look at the all-time leader of blown playoff leads. You can’t make this stuff up.
Kevin Durant went 552 days between NBA games with the worst injury in the sport.
It’s his first season back, he missed half this year, he’s 32, and he’s still leading the playoffs in scoring (34.8) with a career high postseason TS% (69.6).
This should be talked about more.
If 38-year-old LeBron gives you damn near a 40-point triple-double, while being dialled up to 11 on defense, playing all 48, and you can’t win on that night… Absolutely everybody else in the org needs to be re-evaluated.
The Los Angeles Lakers have a positive net rating when LeBron James sits. (+12.1 when he's on the court but the Lakers hold a +1.7 when he sits.)
If it holds. . . It will be the first time in his CAREER that he's been on a team that WON the minutes without him.
Paul George... not Kawhi Leonard, not Chris Paul, not Blake Griffin, not Elton Brand, not Lamar Odom, not Corey Maggette, not Darius Miles, not Ron Harper, not Bob McAdoo is the first star to get the Clippers franchise to the conference finals.
Net rating when. . .
LeBron and Davis are on the court together:
+10.5
LeBron is on without Davis:
+11.9
Davis on without LeBron:
-7.4
Man, that is hard to digest
KD on team 4.
Harden on team 4.
Kyrie on team 4.
Russ about to be on team 5.
All of them had trade requests in there. LeBron leaving in FA still the bad guy on this app though lol
Woj reported nothing for clicks, Shams carried water for the org with no real information, and Stephen A did verbal gymnastics bordering on lunacy to defend a guy who likely did some bad stuff. NBA media needs a cleanup at the top so bad.
Jalen Brunson career high vs. Utah in the playoffs.
Terance Mann career high vs. Utah in the playoffs.
Jamal Murray career high vs. Utah in the playoffs.
Chris Paul ties career playoff high vs. Utah in the playoffs.
A yearly tradition.
No one outside of America thought his comments were weird, we all have thought the same, but all the Americans were bothered by it. Which is also telling and hilarious.
NBA stars got salty cause Noah Lyles spoke the truth about world champions.
Imagine Man City winning the UCL and claiming they’re the soccer world champions.
They don’t do that. The same way the NBA shouldn’t call their champions, WORLD champions.
(1/2)
After that he won a title, won a Finals MVP, finished top five in the MVP race and out duelled playoff Luka in ridiculous fashion. Imagine if he was healthy the last six years. His career has honestly become one of the bigger, “What ifs…”
“Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to play the game, but I may go as far as to say LeBron James may be the greatest player to ever play the game because he is so potent offensively that not only can he score at will but he keeps everybody involved.” - Scottie Pippen
The Nets got swept, Simmons didn’t play.
The Bucks were missing Middleton.
Three of the Heat’s four best players played hurt and missed time. (Including Jimmy..)
We can enjoy this Celtics run without being absolutely ridiculous.
I know you can’t really discipline an NBA superstar but Tristan Thompson being more engaged at both ends than Anthony Davis in an elimination game is so ugly.
If Damian Lillard lands with a team other than the Miami Heat, he won't report to training camp, per
@MarkG_Medina
"‘He just wouldn’t go,’ a person familiar with Lillard’s thinking told Sportsnaut. ‘He just wouldn’t report.'… ‘I don’t think the other team would trade for him…
