#DRose was the first to break this tee out on the court. I remember thinking man that’s powerful. Had no idea it would still be relevant in 2020. #GeorgeFloyd #icantbreathe

Steph is the system.
Bomani Jones implies Steph Curry isn't a superstar, but rather the "greatest system player of all time" 🤔

Guys WNBA games do not cost the same as NBA games. Please attend a couple if they play in a city near you. This notion that All star is the only way to grow the game I’m not feeling it. You can get reasonable priced tix weekly!!!.

I’ll never forget the time I mentioned “The Garden” to Kevin McHale referencing MSG. He stopped me dead in my tracks. “There’s only one garden brother, the one with all the banners in it.” 🤣🤣.
The garden was litty last night.

"Andrew Wiggins is a bad basketball player. He's owed $95M over the next 3 years, starting next year. It's unspeakable the Warriors did this. It's over for them now. We will never see Steph in another NBA Finals again. Ever." — @getnickwright. lt;.

Reminder: LeBron was swept last season in the Finals. Was 1-8 in last 9 Finals games. Steph was down KD/Klay/Looney at the end of game 2 vs Box-n-1 and won ON THE ROAD. You right don’t mention him in same convo as (your) GOAT😉.
Curry lost 3 straight HOME FINALS games. Please don’t ever mention him in the same conversation with the GOAT.

Man it’s really not that deep. Lol. Just hoop man.
Dillon Brooks on Andre Iguodala: "We all had the vision. He didn’t, which is perfect. Send him back to the Warriors and let him do his thing over there.". FWIW: Grizzlies are five games ahead of Golden State right now.

So in 1986-87 Michael Jeffrey Jordan averaged 37 PPG and people on this here app question his ability to average 40+ in today’s game with more possessions and more favorable rules for the offensive player?!! Y’all don’t deserve #TheLastDance.

The coldest part about tonight was the scene where MJ was in the locker room with the stogie and a bat prior to taking on the #Hornets. It was like watching a mob movie before a big hit. True #GOAT #LastDance.

Everyday I think I’m handling the #Kobe news better than the days prior. then I see an image, video, quote etc and it brings me back to zero. I can only imagine how the Bryant family and the families of the others lost must be feeling. sending continuous love/strength their way.

Anytime it’s Wilt and YOU to do anything the same in basketball it’s otherworldly. the premise behind it makes it extraordinary.
--to do any ONE of those things is hard! To do TWO is one of the best games of a person's career. To do all THREE, and factor in the circumstances. = Legendary. .

Greatest game ever played by #ChrisPaul? 41 points 10 assists 0 turnovers. Scored 20 of 41 in 4th qtr. Playoff career high points. First player with a 40-10-0 playoff game since turnovers were an official stat. Did what he had to do to get the monkey off his back. #Respect.

Steph had 23 in the 4th quarter. Rockets has 26. Difference was turnovers in the final frame. HOU (5) GSW (1). Dubs outscored Rockets 6-0 off turnovers in that span. #NBAPlayoffs.

After 14 seasons covering the Association, I’m no longer apart of the NBA TV/Turner Family. It was an amazing ride and one I wouldn’t change for the world! S/o to all the good people that embraced me 🙏🏾and bright minds that taught me how to look at the game through a diff lens🏀

He don’t know. They didn’t get there yet. - Kawhi voice.
How does Kawhi leave a team that went to the NBA Finals?.

It’s literally July 2. .
I thought Kawhi was no drama? Just wants to hoop? Yet here we are watching him drag this out after having a full year to decide. After demanding out of SA. After switching to New Balance because he wasn’t promoted enough. With Uncle Dennis as his default agent. 🤔.

@MrDre_ @natfluential If Shaq your center then KD is the best PF to space the floor. MJ is your no doubt 2 and Steph your 1… this comes down to what you want at the 3. I may go Kobe and have Bron lead the second team as his true Point Forward spot.

Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and James Harden have combined to win *10 NBA scoring titles.*. Or, the exact same amount as Michael Jordan won on his own.
