I wonder if LeBron is planning on encouraging Wade to unretire and become a Laker..........perish the thought

These things can only happen with LeBron in the 'helm'. Stranger things had happened already with him running the show.

I hope so Stevie, he's fun to watch. I do wonder if hie can play bully ball in the NBA like he did in College.

My personal bet for ROY is Ja Morant. I think he, Clarke and JJJ might give the Pels a fight for the 8th play off spot.

I'm stunned that Greece is out even though they won. Their margin had to be by at least 12 points

I guess only in amateur rules can it happen.

Not only that but you have to wonder “what if” Giannis hadn’t fouled out with over 5 minutes left

Luis Scola at age 39 is like the Duracell bunny as he just keeps on going. Argentina defeats Serbia and advances to Semifinals agains either USA or France

I say beware of Argentina as they can be spoilers in this tournament and go far but can they win it all?

The calm before the pending storm. I sure wish him well. He has a monumental task this yearend IMO the odds ae against him

an interesting excerpt....


SA: LeBron and his coaches have been a storyline at each of his stops, and not always in a pleasant way. What do you anticipate?

FV: I only know how he’s been with me. That’s the only measuring stick I’m going to use. I’m not going to look at how it’s been with his past coaches. That really doesn’t concern me. I want to shape my own opinion of him as a person and one of the greatest ever. I’m going to take my approach and work together with him to hopefully do something special.

Isn't Manu Ginobili also Argentinian? Is he playing as well?

 

[Steve Williams]

Good question. I would say no because Manu's best days are behind him.When he's on the bench he'd need oxygen by mask and CBD ointment to his knees

Good answer, Frank. Just, do not, repeat, do not get your team into a 10 game losing streak or you will get LeBron MAD. And if that happens, in the next time out, sit down so Lebron will not be able to shove you (softly even to calm the reporters). Of course, if the streak goes to 15, then you know the red button is going to be pressed by LeBron - to Jeannie. Boom.

Scola is now the number 2 all time scoring leader in the amateur ranks, next to Oscar Schmidt of Brazil. I was able to see Oscar play in some of those games and he was really an ageless scoring machine, yet never played in the NBA.
