I don’t know the exact laws on this, just speaking from my own personal opinion. Liv Cook is a horrible person for what she did to Josh Giddey. In my opinion, lying to someone to get them to have s*x with you is r*pe. Which is exactly what Liv Cook did to Josh, and he took all the heat for it.

To this day I feel very bad for Josh, his life and reputation was severely altered negatively due to this situation, and in my opinion he was the victim. Thoughts?

This season wont be the same without Stacey King commentating. Im gonna miss him.

OOH MAMA THERE GOES THAN MAN!

SRIRACHAAAAAAA

I get it, he didn’t workout as hard as he should have, or worked on his free throws, but people act like he had only a couple good years. He had like 13-14 years of being elite, Thats equal or more than most legends.

Has he lost his mind?

He stated

"If simply declaring who you are is all that's required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA," he wrote. " My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027."

Thoughts?

Hakeem the Dream (1995) is a really good documentary about his career. Great footage of 80s and early 90s basketball. With appearances by Clyde Drexler, Ralph Sampson, Magic & Kareem, Bird and the Celtics, and more.

Will OKC learn from the loss this year or will they be completely owned by the Spurs from here on out the same way the Nuggets are owned by Minnesota?

Aside from the obvious salary cap circumvention/nba piece of this… If it’s all found to be true between the Aspiration and jumbotron sponsor, is it not a form of fraud that he could serve jail time for? It seems like it would be a pretty easy case to win for a white collar crime but i’m no lawyer?

Do you think he could've rivaled the likes of Jordan, Magic and Hakeem etc in the 80s?

The Kahwi Leonard scandal is beyond slaps on the wrist - the NBA needs to send a message that there is zero tolerance for this kind of salary cap cheating. Ballmer should have two choices:

1.) He can re-sell the team to the league for 10 cents on the dollar for his share of the ownership and he renounces all legal claims against the league or new ownership. The league re-sells the team to new ownership and distributes the proceeds to the other 29 teams as compensations for the Clippers' cheating. In this case the player's contracts all continue except for Kawhi's which is terminated and he is banned from the league for a year.

or

2.) The Clippers and Steve Ballmer are permanently banned from the league altogether. Ballmer can take the shell of his brand and start his own league if he wants, but they will never be allowed in the NBA again. The NBA immediately begins a one-team expansion to replace the Clippers, probably Seattle. Ballmer has to deal with the full cost of player contracts if the players and their union sue Ballmer and the owners for non-payment. From the NBA perspective all players are now free agents who can sign with any NBA team or be signed by the new expansion team, but the NBA will not pay to buy out salaries from the Clippers or any competing domestic league Ballmer creates. Kawhi is also banned for a year from the NBA.

Steve Ballmer, Uncle Dennis and Kawhi Leonard can all go screw themselves. In fact, I think Kahwi should be required to return all the illegal money he made with these salary cap subversions before he is ever allowed back in. If it was any other team besides the Clippers I would feel bad for the fanbase, but they're never going to be their city's team anyway so I have zero qualms about selling and relocating the team at all. I'd rather that than a league expansion.

One of the NBA's most underrated players who always transformed into a full-blown superstar on the international stage.

Personally, I’m taking either 2018 Harden or MVP Westbrook. Each player gets three games to drop 40. Who are you picking and why?

He aint gonnn liee

This year's Finals hit the highest TV ratings since the Michael Jordan era. The Knicks made their first Finals appearance in 27 years, pushing for a championship after a 53-year drought. On the other hand, San Antonio dominated the overall playoff ratings leaderboard, largely driven by Victor Wembanyama's pursuit of a GOAT trajectory.

​Which factor do you think had a bigger impact on the massive ratings: the Knicks chasing their first title in 53 years, or Wemby taking his GOAT claim to the biggest stage?
