NBA nicknames have gotten so lazy. Jokic is Joker. How original. Dude barely smiles. Anthony Edwards becomes... Ant? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is... SGA? I could go on. What happened to Chocolate Thunder? The Round Mound of Rebound? We used to be a country.

I truly don't know what you do with Kawhi in all-time rankings. His peak is like "what if Kobe was bigger and made more 3s" but he's scored fewer NBA points than Antoine Walker.

I learned about one of the most significant moments in recent American political history through an NBA Twitter alert.

This is not what we meant when we said we wanted the Larry O’Brien Trophy back on the floor.

I love how the Spurs just looked at the 30-team table, identified the two suckers, and made it a point to keep trading with them over and over and over again.

3’s were Bron’s weakness once upon a time lmao. Like just think about that. The worst part of his game he’s sixth all-time. There will never be another LeBron James.

LeBron could pass Reggie Miller tonight & move into 6th place in 3s made. Needs 3.

LeBron James is 37, man. He doesn’t have that many years like this left. If you can’t trade Russ, fine, but at least have the balls to bench him in crunch time when he’s shot below 30% from the field over the last four games.

This is a red flag on so many levels. The games are so much more than the highlights. This is like saying you only need to watch a movie’s trailer. But more importantly, sports are supposed to be accessible. Entertainment for the masses. That’s very quickly and sadly changing.

Adam Silver says fans who can’t afford streaming services to watch NBA games can still watch free highlights, calling the NBA a “highlight sport.” (h/t @ohnohedidnt24 )

This is the best basketball game I've watched at any level since Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.

If Spo gets fired teams would literally fire their coach if they thought they could get him. He’s the best coach in the NBA comfortably.
