Jason Kidd and Stephon Marbury were traded for each other in 2001.

Kevin Garnett at Farragut Center Academy.

Malik Sealy

Magic Johnson spinning records.

Randolph Childress was nice at Wake Forest.

Jeff Van Gundy hanging onto Alonzo Mourning's leg in the 1998 playoffs. Van Gundy told me he was dazed after being on the receiving end of a blow from Larry Johnson and just grabbed on to whatever he could find.

Wilt Chamberlain and Bjorn Borg

Elgin Baylor and the Jacksons

Walt Frazier being guarded by Don Chaney and Paul Silas.

Julius Erving and Dwyane Wade playing pool.

I really enjoyed this piece in The New Yorker about second generation NBA basketball players and the cost of making it in the league.

Connie Hawkins shooting over John Gianeli.

Michael Jordan guarding Reggie Lewis as Robert Parish looks on.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and John Wooden

What is Clyde going to call Guerschon Yabusele?.

Unfortunately, Birdges isn't very good at any of those things. But he's average to good at all 3, and a switchable, 6'6'' player with his durabilty who can do those 3 things at a passable level is rare. Additionally, there doesn't appear to be a better alternative available. (2).

Some thoughts on Mikal Bridges, a polarizing player among Knicks fandom. Forget the picks they gave up. They're gone. The Knicks of JB, KAT, and OG need 3 things from the 2-guard: knock down open 3s, defend the point of attack, and a secondary PnR ball-handler. (1).
