lakers tampering with ben simmons now.

the league really needs to step in and start taking away draft picks. fining these cunts $50,000 has no impact at all. the lakers do not have a god given right to collect every superstar in the NBA. adam silver, that fucking snake, didnt hesitate to get hinkie fired and have the colangelos installed in philly, but hes happy to allow the lakers to unsettle and tamper with any other team they want. fucking horseshit.

you talk like this isn't the same league that stopped the lakers from picking up Chris Paul not long ago.

thats not relevant in this situation. that happened 7 years ago, and the league vetoed that trade because they owned the hornets at the time. of course this was also pre-magic johnson joining the lakers. this bullshit started as soon as he came back to the team as the president/adviser.

The Lakers have responded back:

I think this is being a bit overblown. I don't like how Magic makes nearly everything public, but it's starting to look like Ben wanted to work with Magic and he initiated the contact first.

Ben Simmons reaching out to the Lakers to speak with Magic Johnson about his Hall of Fame career.
Pull the other one.
I bet he already knows more about Magic than Magic remembers about himself.
He wanted to speak with Magic.
Full stop.

10 straight triple dubs. Westbrook.

Legend.

Thunder Up!

No love for Paul George? 

He put up 47/12/10!!!

I’ve been supporting OKC since the days of Harden KD & Westbrook. I know what we went through when Harden left and became a superstar in his own right. I know how things felt after KD left to the team we nearly beat and basically lost when KD missed what would have been a game winning shot. I heard all the criticism Westbrook got - he is too selfish, no one wants to play with him, he can’t lead the team. It was obvious to me that this young man had a competitive fire like none other before him, and just needed to be helped to channel it properly. I watched him singlehandedly will this team into the playoffs two seasons ago with no help whatsoever and win an MVP becoming the first player since Oscar to average the triple double throughout the season. Then I watched him do it again, and turn the triple double stat line into a “normal” thing. Despite a career threatening knee injury (Patrick Beverly, I haven’t forgiven you), and multiple knee surgeries. Westbrook is the heart and soul of OKC, and has always been. PG13 is nice, absolutely special player and those numbers, while sparkling have been put up before and will be put up again most likely.

But yesterday was for history. Took the record off Wilt Chamberlain. Yesterday was Westbrook’s day.

Yeah, Westbrook is a beast for sure. I do wonder how long his career will last though. He turns 31 later this year, and I've rarely seen a player whose game is so highly based on his physical ability. When physical decline hits Westbrook I reckon he is pretty much done as a player.

mr. steal your rebound's effective field goal percentage is 44. damn that's awful. now paul george is the man.

Funnily enough, was talking about this with a mate earlier, that he will deteriorate much faster than guys like Lebron. incredible athlete though. 3 years of triple doubling it when it wasn't even a consideration for half a century is remarkable. 

It's an amazing sport IMO. At the moment I enjoy basketball a lot more than football. Beal just got away with something because the refs failed to blow the whistle. Let's not pretend that doesn't happen in every sport.

Yes, but you have to hold your hand up sometimes and say we got it wrong. Instead they Donald Trumped on the call.

Just heard on TNT-- Shaq calling himself black steph curry in jest...it never struck me before until kenny corrected him--black steph curry? steph curry IS black. lol.

The black Steph Curry was terrible today with 2 chainz    even with cheating. 

Pretty embarrassing dunk contest today. Can't believe missed dunk got 35 points, that was ridiculous.

Only 1 good dunk from Diallo (the one over Shaq); congrats flobs.

I guess next year will be more hyped with Zion. Hope Terrance Ferguson competes as well.
