40 on the road and mvp chants…it’s a feeling only the all time greats know.

MVP chants in an arena that had selfies of Eric Gordon and Matt Barnes in the rafters?

Damn Ben Simmons is really a LightSkin Draymond with less dog huh

I clown Draymond joking around but nah we not doing that. Draymond done proven himself too many times and shown he can turn up and dominate games at times and energize the Warriors. Ain’t seen that with Simmons outside of his Philly stretches when Embiid was out.

that Wall interview one of the best i’ve seen in awhile

If he was put on the market their first asking price would be similar too. Robert Covington was overhyped back in the day too lol. This type of player is easiest to fit and every team needs them. I dont think Raptors are serious about moving him, that is why they are asking for a ridiculous amount. They are most likely to move FVV over anyone. Masai likes to compete.

He’s surely opting out of the last year of that deal, so I think they’d have to consider depending on his asking price after seeing what Grant gets this off-season. More than likely, they’ll keep it and worry about moving him later.

You think so? I'm about an hour in...the stories are great, I dig hearing these first hand stories from athletes/artists.

That said, all I hear is the same (bitter IMO) stuff. He remembers everything he didn't get (awards/accolades) but it seems to be more of a sore spot rather than motivation.

I appreciate his journey but he always comes off as he's been slighted IMO.

The part that stood out to me was him talking about Harden going to Lil Baby's birthday party. Wall straight up said if he was still in Washington he would've been right there at that party since he ran things there but he didn't know how things work in Houston. That let me know where his head is at and he seems bitter about leaving Washington cause he lost that star treatment. He just don't strike me like he really give a damn about winning and more about being a star NBA player.

I know this isn’t major news but why are the Hawks hiring Chris Grant dude was one of the worst GMs ever. Grant will be forever remembered by me and the Cavs fans as the dude who drafted Anthony Bennet (it was a bad draft but we overreached on some smartest guy in the room ish and failed). We traded for Andrew Bynum (he was done and didn’t have that hoop dog in him), signed Luol Deng (Thibs ran him into the found).

Unless he was hired as the person whom they ask to do things and they do the complete opposite of. This hiring makes no sense. I get it he’s a special advisor. Maybe he has some administrative skills or some shyt.
