New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

I watched that video. Very true. He is the "system" wherever he goes. He can't be coached because he knows better and goes to ownership and makes his demands.

As Frantz said you won't find a more gifted athlete. Just ask him

He always seems to be playing to the camera and the crowd and when he makes a great play his eyes are looking up to the screen to watch his replay.

I heard him in an interview talking about his legacy. Where did you ever hear Magic Bird or MJ talk about their legacy.e bias as well. Ever see a player take 5 steps to the hoop for a lay up or dunk and rarely be called for "steps"

The bigger problem is how much $$$$ the league makes as a result of him so they have bias

My thoughts exactly, Steve.

LeBron's demands to return and stay in Cleveland was like an open checkbook from Dan Gilbert. Tristan Thompson and JR Smith's contract were stalled as those 2 haggled to get the max deals and I read reports the ultimately it was James who influenced the final signings. And not to stop there, late quarter of the season, he whined that their team sucked and they needed a $^&%* playmaker, and they added Derron Williams and he was happy with that. I think he has to be credited with getting Love for Wiggins too. Maybe the more appropriate word for it is that James 'created' his own super-team, if he doesn't like the word 'join'. Perhaps he built up his stature so he could do just that.

For those we are not NBA fans, they would not believe that David West was angry, and Tristan Thompson was angrier. And the other ref seemed very amused.

The season is over, and no awards yet for MVP, COTY, and ROTY. I learned that all will be announced as part of a show hosted by Drake on June 26, a few days after the the Draft. With the Warriors posed to win more titles, I suddenly am not that thrilled about the C's picking 1st at the draft.

 

[Steve Williams]

I vote for Brad Stevens as COTY

 

[JackD201]

Given what he had to work with, I agree.

Yet, it's so hard for me not to give it to Kerr stacked roster and all. His game plans and in-game decisions are crazy good. His player management certainly one of the best.

totally agree and I would have no problem based on what you stated however Brad IMO worked with a bunch of kids to achieve what they did last year

 

[jadis]

I have read that James Harden has the best odds of bagging the MVP crown. Next is Westbrook.

I think Kerr will bag the COTY, how he jelled the team with new acquisitions to blend with the old, it's like lock and key. And I admire the way KD and Curry celebrate with each other, hugs and pumped up like they were long lost brothers. No ego problems among the 2 former league MVPs, it is quite clear now that the quest and attainment of the championship trophy is more important than individual prestige. In these day and age, GOAT is a very in thing specially with social media, but the true meddle of a model winner is in winning for the team and not his individual accolade.

And I'll never complain if Brad Stevens win it.

 

[jadis]

Talk shows now abound with wild prognostications of what teams should do to beat the champions, specially on what the Cavs should or can do. Talk of Paul George going to Cleveland. Hmmm. I just don't know how the GMs will work that out. And wilder suggestions that the Celtics should deal the No. 1 pick this month for PG13. I somehow am not sold on that. I'd rather see the C's bag Gordon Hayward as a Free Agent. And maybe trade for Jimmy Butler for Smart and Olynyk.

I spoke to Steve Ballmer yesterday and he told me that he's bringing LeBron and KD to the Clippers next year along with Klay Thomson.

I questioned him about how he planned to do this.

He had a two word response: Money Talks.

Yes, this is true. Alex Jones confirmed that he heard the same thing.

But I also heard that LBJ wants a piece of Microsoft and wants to sit on the board

I've heard James going to the Clippers to join his good friend Chris Paul. To form the Banana Boat gang with Melo. Maybe a Friendship League to counter the Warriors' Justice League.

 

[WLVCA]

Yes. except Wonder Woman left the Justice League and defected to the new Friendship League.

Melo is out, though. I don't want him on the Clippers.

I think nobody wants Melo anywhere.

We're headed up to Phoenix today to go to the Heard Museum of Art. I mention it here as we'll be driving by the Suns' arena.

First time visiting the Heard - features Native American art. We are going primarily to see a Freda Kahlo exhibit.

As much as I hate the shooter brand of basketall played by GSW If

​

anybody was redeemed it was Steve Kerr. Nobody wanted him or understood why GSW did.
Three straight finals and two rings. He is no Popovich but he got the job done. At least twice.

I disagree. Phil Jackson wanted him as his first choice before Derek Fisher

I will not argue that. The point remains valid
Kerr made the right decision not to join Phill in purgatory.
