Why? Dawg can we not just accept greatness without comparison.
Tim Hardaway and Lindsey Hunter would take prime Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway over LeBron!
(Via Tcopodcast | @TheTruth8240)
Do I think TA is a better defender than LeBron absolutely!! Do I think they hunted Lebron on defense probably but not because he was a cone. It was probably so he can get in foul trouble and the maybe they will have a chance to beat em.
Tony Allen calls out LeBron James, saying players hunted him on defense and his only great defensive plays were chase-down blocks.
“All you did was a couple chase down blocks a game. Name somebody that he had to lock up and get the win”

Tbh it doesn’t matter the state won’t allow it for some reason they will say no
I saw a post on TikTok today with a kid talking about Jordan going to IMG and the reason why a lot of top ranked kids in NC leave to go out of state. A big reason why he stated is because NC doesn’t have a national level facility like a Montverde or IMG.
First off he’s exactly right. I’ve long said we need a program here like those schools where it would be easier to retain our top talent.
It also got me thinking about where would a good location be for such a program and honestly i really believe that Word Of God could’ve been the place. They already have the space and a lot of land to build on there. Just my thoughts though. What yall think?

Damar Maldonado, 6’4 2029 F with monster game in losing effort here at #PhenomSummerHavocLive. Kid put up 18p/17r/4a in close game. Needs to refine his game but ceiling is high on this one if he continues to develop.

Well say what you want 7 billion dollars is a lot of money so you better do it right 😂😂. Also if lebron announces retirement that team instantly becomes sold out everywhere they go.
The NBA's $76 billion TV deal is currently on hold because one 41-year-old won't say where he wants to work.
Adam Silver, the commissioner, admitted it today: the league cannot finish the 2026-27 schedule until LeBron James picks a team. Teams are calling. Networks are calling. The answer to all of them is "we're waiting on LeBron."
The story gets wilder when you know the context. LeBron is the oldest player in the NBA, entering season 24. He's also still one of its best: he just dragged the Lakers to the playoffs, then announced he was leaving. Three franchises are reportedly in the running.
Here's why one player freezes a $76 billion machine. The NBA is one season into an 11-year deal with Disney, NBC, and Amazon. Those partners split a fixed pool of premium inventory: opening night, Christmas Day, the big national windows. LeBron has played on Christmas a record 20 times, the last 19 seasons straight. Wherever he signs instantly becomes a Christmas team, an opening week team, and a 25-game national TV team. Until he signs, none of those slots can be assigned. The whole calendar is downstream of one man's group chat.
Run the math on what's waiting. $76 billion over 11 years is roughly $7 billion a year in media money, and the schedule that deal was priced on can't be built. So the commissioner of a $7-billion-a-year league is doing interviews politely asking an employee of one of his 30 teams to please make up his mind.
No other league works this way. The NFL schedules around teams. The NBA schedules around a person.
Idk how I feel about this
The one free throw rule will be tested at the upcoming NBA summer leagues.
With this rule, any foul that would typically result in one, two or three free throws under standard NBA rules will instead result in a single free throw attempt. That attempt will be worth the same total number of points as the free throws it replaces.
Standard NBA free throw rules will apply during the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and throughout overtime.

I just mentioned how USA U17 team, half the team at least is basically kids whose parent and/or sibling are pro athletes. There is a trend of basketball becoming more expensive, private equity entering the space, fewer local options.
Draymond Green says basketball is no longer a poor kid's game: “It's a rich kid's game”
“I didn't learn how to do a proper individual workout till I got to college. Growing up I'm going to hoop. Where's the nearest run. Drop me off, I'll play all day. That's what we did. We hooped all day. I think there's a huge benefit to that because you just learn to see the game”
“It's different when somebody just putting you in a position to tell you to do this move. How do you use your creativity? How do you learn if somebody just say do this? How do you know what your game is if you never tap into it and just figure it out”
“I think there's a time and place for a trainer and I think with where the game has gone, you need those resources in order to be successful”
“I feel like basketball used to be a poor man's game. Poor kids played it. We were poor. We had nothing and it was our way out. Basketball is not a poor kid's game no more. Basketball is a rich kid game”
“The days of seeing LeBron James from Akron, Ohio, from a single mom, those days are numbered. Because if you don't have the resources these days, you can't make it. But that’s also why you don't see as great basketball as you did before, because there's no imagination”
“Everybody's doing the same thing, playing the same way. I think a lot of that is due sometimes to having trainers. You just become a carbon copy of somebody else the trainer created”
Can someone explain this to me? I get what he saying but even if so why would you not want to meet other franchises.
Darryn Peterson plans to meet only with the Wizards, who hold the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, per @ShamsCharania
Peterson reportedly believes he’s going No. 1 overall and does not plan to meet with any other teams. 👀
