“Try to See the Game Before the Game”: LeBron James Reflects on Two-Decade-Old Bill Walton Praise After Win Over Warriors
LeBron James shouts out Bill Walton's two decade old praise about his game while talking about his historic 40-point game last night.
Yeah I miss Bill too, he was entertaining and seemed like a good dude.
Yep, he's someone you would want to interact with and not just about basketball.
They prioritized the young guy over the older guy who will probably retire in another year or two

They prioritized the guy who's never won a championship, not even for them. Over the guy who has.
Being white >>>>>>>> winning championships

Dumbass sports fans:
"Jimmy and Draymond are probably going to fight, Draymond's so toxic and nobody wants to play with him. He's a cancer."
Butler:
"He's showing me the way, and I'm very thankful for Draymond."
Damn, I gotta start hunting upsets, I like the idea of this kind of straight up bet better than betting the spread.

The San Antonio Spurs are in desperate need of a win to keep themselves in the mix for a play-in tournament spot in the Western Conference, and they have a prime bounce-back spot on Monday against the Washington Wizards.
Washington has just nine wins on the season, and it blew up its team at the trade deadline to continue tanking for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Spurs enter this game as double-digit favorites, but they haven’t exactly hit expectations in the early days of the De’Aaron Fox era, losing to Orlando and Charlotte in their last two games.
Here’s a breakdown of the odds, players to watch in the prop market and my prediction for this interconference contest.
Spread
Earlier this season, Victor Wembanyama dropped a smooth 50 point on the Washington Wizards – who are allowing the most points per game to opposing centers (over 27 per game) in the 2024-25 campaign.
So, it’s no-brainer to bet on Wemby tonight.
The San Antonio Spurs center has seen his scoring dip in recent weeks (averaging just 22.0 points per game since Jan. 1), but he will face little resistance against a Wizards frontcourt that moved Jonas Valanciunas and Marvin Bagley III at the deadline.
Wemby is still averaging 24.3 points per game on the season while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 35.0 percent from 3.
Poole knocked down six shots from 3 against the Spurs earlier this season, and he attempted 17 (!!) shots from deep in a game against Cleveland last week. With Poole averaging 10.0 attempts per game from 3 over his last 17 games, he’s a great bet at plus money tonight.
The Wizards did get hot before the trade deadline, but they’ve now blown up their team and won’t have veterans like Khris Middleton (out) and Marcus Smart (out) in action in this matchup.
San Antonio’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after losses to Charlotte and Orlando on Friday and Saturday, but I’m buying the Spurs here as massive road favorites.
San Antonio is only 3-4 against the spread as a road favorite, but Washington is 11-15 against the spread as home underdog – posting an average scoring margin of -13.9 points per game in those contests.
This is a great matchup for Wembanyama against the worst defense in the NBA that is also the worst rebounding team in the league. He torched the Wizards for 50 once, and I expect him to lead the Spurs to a win on Monday.
Pick: Spurs -11.5 (-105 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
Spurs: -625
- The negative moneyline means the Spurs are the favorite.
- A -625 line means you would have to bet $625 to win $100 in profit.
- If you bet $100, your potential profit would be:
100÷6.25=16100 \div 6.25 = 16100÷6.25=16
So, a $100 bet on the Spurs would win $16, plus your original $100 back.
Wizards: +455
- The positive moneyline means the Wizards are the underdog.
- A +455 line means that a $100 bet wins $455 in profit.
- If you bet $100 on the Wizards and they win, you get $455 in profit, plus your original $100 back, for a total payout of $555.

Yeah man, my Dad hated him but I grew to like him
Bill used to even irritate his fellow commentators which made things more entertaining
The Lakers did Westbrook wrong. Westbrook needing glasses or new eyes when shooting also did him wrong
