Free agency is here and, right now, my TL is all LeBron, all day. Where's he going, what are the Warriors doing, etc. That's fine. He's LJ. I get it! But I'll tell you what I'm actually watching, and it isn't LJ and marquee guys. It's the OGs. Don't get me wrong, I love this young NBA. These kids are so skilled it's almost unfair, and athletic in a way that's crazy. Different game now. A better one in a lot of ways, and I mean that. Here's my thing, though. When I came into the league I didn't know anything, not really, and it was the vets who raised me. Guys like Ervin Johnson and Lindsey Hunter and Ray Allen taught me how to carry myself, how to be a pro on the nights nobody's watching. Taught me about money. Shoot, taught me about golf, about how to be a man. I needed that. Most of these young guys need it too, whether they know it yet or not. So yeah. Harrison Barnes going back to San Antonio, that one was obvious. Russell Westbrook getting tied to DC? I love it for AJ Dybantsa and them. And if you've got a young roster you're trying to grow, you have to call a Khris Middleton or a Mike Conley. Get somebody in that locker room who's seen it, lived it, and can pass on that knowledge. They can still give you minutes, sure. But that's not really why you sign them. You bring them in for the kid who's got all the talent in the world and no idea what to do with it yet. The vet pulls him aside when the coaches can't. Shows him the little things nobody teaches you in college. Shows him how to play the game, but also live the life. Each one teach one. That's how it used to worked in the NBA. Let's make sure the young guys get that same guidance.

The media hates Jaylen Brown? The same media that voted him NBA Finals MVP Voted him all nba 2nd team (twice) 6th in MVP voting Where is there evidence the media hates him?

Bullshit… it’s about having and showing respect for fellow professionals. Sadly too many players in the NBA understand that.

Jalen Brunson thank you!!! Don’t run away from “small” guards! You can win with them too. Just gotta believe and give em a real opportunity

Charlamagne tha God tells Andrew Schulz he’s not Victor Wembanyama should be the face of the NBA. He doesn’t relate to the culture, he’s a foreigner, and he does all these gimmicks walking barefoot in the garden drawing in the park etc

Chicago Bulls announced that former player and team broadcaster Stacey King has passed away.
