YUP so he will be released traded at the end of the season
The same thing LBJ was thinking when he pass him the ball...What was Melo thinking?
LBJ was hoping for a reset or smart play from a 19 year vet down 1 with 9 seconds left. Get LBJ dick out yo mouf.
Why you thinking about dicks old faggot?
old age is a mother fucker I see...
Now,teams can't double team him. I know he's happy that he has a partner that's not afraid to shoot.
I'm not even gonna ask..
So Kemba's not hurt they're just sitting him for the rest of the year?
It's retarded that teams are sitting players that's not hurt. Especially,when they traded for them.
Any old heads fans remember watching these dunk contest?
Yeah, Minnesota started doubling Embiid hard early. When Harden started finding Maxey on cuts to the basket they had to stop. Maxey, Green. Korkmaz, Niang was WIDE OPEN FROM 3. James opens up a lot for everyone. Especially with Embiid on the floor. We'll see how it goes, but Glenn fucks this up his ass is gone!!!!!! I'M JUST SO HAPPY THE BEIGE BITCH IS GONE!!!!
biggest waste of talent in the league
And how many of those games are without the mute
The Joker is a MONSTER
but this kinda proves a whole lot
NBA slipping on ADVERTISING the game
they are WAY to dependent on NBA Twitter
yeah its great and dominates all platforms of social media
but do people ACTUALLY WATCH GAMES ANYMORE?
Not CLIPS
Not TWEETS
GAMES?
Cause THAT is the problem
and we can place ALL the blame firmly on the over empathize over dependence
and just slavish concern over NUMBERS
@jack walsh13 was right on that part.
EVERYTHING can't just be analytics
NOT EVERYTHING
Its important
its a vital tool
but when IT supersedes actually WATCHING the game
EMOTION
COACHING
PSYCHOLOGY
ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAMES?
That sh*t is worthless.

this is still one of the most UNDER RATED dis bars in ALL of hip hop
Why?
That brother was a ROOKIE
On the court and in hip hop
His line was SAVAGE
He named names
no code no simile no metaphor no word play no subliminal
He said those men FULL NAMES on a HIT RECORD
and he had to PLAY THEM on the court a few months later.
Come ON!
What is or WAS more gangsta than THAT?.
Respect to Shaq Fu.

Shaq was aight on the mic
And a few people had that style back then
Even Hov used to spit like that
Side note,
The 2nd dude wearing the beige vest with all the pockets...
I had a vest just like that with the matching shorts with all the pockets lol
Couldn't tell me I wasnt fresh lol
Oh and this never left my rotation
Bro one of the best interviews I ever read was in a hip hop newspaper back in the day I used to get around 34th street in the city
Cannot remember the name
but Redman was basically breaking down what it REALLY takes to be a dope MC
He said it was about 10% skill
and 80% CONFIDENCE
and I believe that true to this day.
The thing about shaq was we WANTED HIM to DO WELL
And he was so damn CONFIDENT and that smile and that energy.
It means SO MUCH to the audience
When they see THE ARTIST is having fun and CARES
there MAY better technical NBA rappers.
but NONE made us FEEL like Shaq did
and also Remember his lyrics damn near 20 years later.

Come on Jon you a historian
you KNOW EXACTLY what I mean
THAT SPECIFIC STYLE?
Was AL DAS EFX
FIRST
That aint early Jaz O and Jay (original flava) and later Twista and those Chicago and Cleveland flows
It was not only the fast rapid fire flow
it was the REFERENCES
and sound effects
Yeah Leaders was doing the East Coast Stomp flow
that Roaw Roaw sh*t
But NOBODY was doing that Das EFX Warner brothers Saturday Morning flow
I used to call it the remote control flow
Cause it sounded like a latchkey kid coming home from school and just flipping through all the channels and making rhymes spontaneous with every flick
That was a specific DAS EFX style.
Who you telling?
We could have been twins
Khaki army vest with the matching cargo shorts and I had the khaki fishermen hat
OR or or or
I would wear the dr seuss stocking cap with stripes (I think it was the HBCU) with a matching striped t shirt.
Yea but I'm white
Yea but I'm white
no you not.
bro that train left a LONG time ago
You stuck with us
deal with it.
I still think Alex English is the best nuggets player, especially if you compare the defense and physicality of his era vs this no defense bullshit.
Yeah they bit that entire style. Chip Fu should of been bigger and a longer career as a solo hip hop/dancehall crossover artist. The other members were garbage.
damn it man
Damn , garbage?
Garbage to me is off beat like blue face
Lakers gonna miss the playoffs...
LeBron reflects on Martin's death, call to activism
A decade after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home, LeBron James reflected on how he responded to the teenager's death and how it pushed him into social activism.

Magic's Fultz to reappear after 1-yr. injury layoff
Former No. 1 overall draft pick Markelle Fultz, who hasn't played since suffering a torn left ACL in January 2021, will return to action for the Orlando Magic on Monday, the team announced.
LeBron James: See myself with Los Angeles Lakers for 'as long as I can play'
LOS ANGELES -- After eyebrow-raising comments by LeBron James leading up to the trade deadline and continuing through All-Star Weekend caused the basketball world to speculate about his future with the Lakers, James made a few things very clear Friday night.
To begin with, he wants the Lakers -- his team for the past four seasons of his 19-year career -- to be the final franchise he plays for.
"This is a franchise I see myself being with. I'm here. I'm here," James said after the Lakers' 105-102 loss to the LA Clippers. "I see myself being with the purple and gold as long as I can play."
Along with that aim, James, who is under contract for one more season and will be eligible to sign a two-year extension this summer worth north of $97 million, would like to play in the NBA alongside his 17-year-old son, Bronny, who is a junior in high school.
Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, Bronny would not be eligible to play in the NBA until the 2024-25 season.
During All-Star Weekend in Cleveland, James told The Athletic, "My last year will be played with my son. ... Wherever Bronny is at, there's where I'll be. I would do whatever it takes to play with my son for one year. It's not about the money at that point."
While it remains to be seen what the next two years will do for Bronny's draft prospects, there are plenty of machinations available for the Lakers to position themselves to acquire him. That could include trades or James' agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group, communicating to other teams that blocking Bronny from joining his father in Los Angeles by drafting him could make doing business with other Klutch clients more difficult.
James also said he wanted to make it clear that his role with the Lakers is that of a player. Rob Pelinka, the Lakers' vice president of basketball operations and general manager, might consult with James and Anthony Davis over personnel decisions, but according to James, the buck stops with Pelinka and the rest of the Lakers' front office.
"I don't push the buttons," James said. "They ask for my opinion, and I voice my opinion and what I believe. But I don't press any buttons. That's what our front office is for, and that's what our leadership group is for.
"I don't press no buttons. So we can state that right now."
James also said that his recent praise of Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead and Oklahoma City Thunder general manager Sam Presti was not related to his opinion of Pelinka's on-job performance.
"If I comment [on] or compliment the GM that's in OKC -- I really believe he's done a phenomenal job. And you guys spin that to me saying that Rob is not doing a great job," James said. "And if I say the GM from the Rams: I loved his f---ing T-shirt. I thought it was dope. And I believe the same way. I don't care about picks; I care about winning championships. Well, how is that directed at Rob and the Lakers franchise? Rob has done the same thing. He went and got AD. He didn't care about picks as well, obviously."
James said the Lakers' disappointing season -- Friday's loss dropped them to 27-32 -- has been at the root of much of the speculation about his future.
He said injuries have sabotaged the chance for him, Davis and Russell Westbrook to build any sort of cohesion in the hopes of becoming a contender. Los Angeles is 11-9 in the 20 games those three have been in the lineup together this season.
"I do wish that we were just playing better basketball and between me, AD and Russ on the floor at the same time," James said. "That's the biggest disappointment so far, that us three, because we all wanted to see this work. We just haven't been on the floor."
James is the No. 3 scorer in league history and has four championships, four Finals MVPs and four regular-season MVPs in his storied career. He remains focused on adding as many titles to his résumé as he can before he retires.
And he said the Lakers have given him, and continue to give him, an opportunity to accomplish that, adding that he is "very confident" in the team's front office.
"They've done it. They've shown me that," James said. "Ever since I got here, the front office of Jeanie [Buss], Linda [Rambis], Kurt [Rambis], everybody has welcomed me with open arms and has given me an opportunity to play for a historical franchise and welcomed my family in. And I just try to give back my part of the game and inspire kids and inspire people that want to follow the Lakers and put them back at a level that they're accustomed to being. And that's always been my focus."
Earlier Friday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Paul met with the Lakers' front office Tuesday and had a positive, clear-the-air type of session to get the sides back in sync in the aftermath of James' public comments.
Asked about the meeting, James said, "I think it's important that it always stays transparent between us and we don't really care about the outside noise. I mean, I think a lot of people are, to be honest, just jealous of the relationship that Rich has with the front office and with this team and with the relationship that I have, that I've grown over the last four years. I mean, that's what I think it boils down to."
