Let's go
He may, but I'd bet on Joker getting 13 assists over 40 points. He's a phenomenal passer. That shit cannot be underrated the court vision he has. You can pencil Embiid in for 45 and 15 though. And he may get Jokic in foul trouble too. That's why I say he won't get 40. Jo Jo on a mission. Joker won't get in his way.He'll dunk on em but Jokic about to drop 40 on Embiid's head Jack
Summary:
MJ and Antoine were playing spades in a restaurant for 36 hours straight.
20k just to get in.
At one point they were down 900k
They ended up winning back everything but 20k but mj didn't want to see them even win 20k so they continued but eventually lost 180k because mj was falling asleep at the table.
This was when mj was returning to the nba after baseball and the press conference was postponed because of this game.

Pete Rose?
not so much.
sidebar...
how we gonna REALLY look back at the David Stern era?
When someone has serious discussions on all those playoff games whose outcomes were DIRECTLY effected by officiating and the league office not to mention the rogue official and that Chris Paul trade?
And ALL the gambling taking place ACROSS the entire league including players, coaches, execs, writers, officials, etc)
basically unchecked?
from the so called TOUGHEST COMMISSIONER IN SPORTS?
Just saying....

2021 NBA All-Star Draft
Captains LeBron James and Kevin Durant make their picks
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was selected by James with the first overall pick in the NBA All-Star Draft. Joining Antetokounmpo and James as Team LeBron starters are Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Dončić and Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić. Team LeBron’s reserves are Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons, Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul, Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown, LA Clippers forward Paul George, Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis and Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert.
Nets guard Kyrie Irving was drafted by Durant with the second overall pick in the NBA All-Star Draft. In addition to Irving, Durant selected 76ers center Joel Embiid, Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard, Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal and Celtics forward Jayson Tatum as starters. Tatum, voted to the NBA All-Star Game as a reserve, was drafted with the starters as a replacement for Durant, who is unable to play in the game.
The reserves drafted by Durant are Nets guard James Harden, Suns guard Devin Booker, New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, New York Knicks forward Julius Randle, Orlando Magic center Nikola Vučević and Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell. Lakers forward Anthony Davis, unable to play in the NBA All-Star Game, has been assigned to Team Durant because the player who replaced him (Booker) was selected by Team Durant.
The 70th NBA All-Star Game will air on TNT and ESPN Radio as part of NBA All-Star 2021, which will take place on one night. TNT’s NBA All-Star coverage on March 7 will begin at 5 p.m. ET with TNT NBA Tip-Off presented by CarMax, followed by the Taco Bell® Skills Challenge and MTN DEW® 3-Point Contest starting at 6:30 p.m. ET. NBA All-Star Game coverage on TNT will begin at 8 p.m. ET, and AT&T Slam Dunk will take place at halftime. NBA All-Star 2021 will reach fans in 215 countries and territories in more than 50 languages.
In the NBA All-Star Draft, James and Durant drafted the team rosters from the pool of players voted as starters and reserves in each conference. The two captains selected the starters in the first round and the reserves in the second round, making their picks without regard to a player’s conference affiliation or position.
As the top overall finisher in fan voting, James was awarded the first pick in the first round. Durant made the first pick in the second round. The captains alternated picks in each round, with Durant getting the final two picks in the first round, which had nine players instead of eight because of Tatum’s addition.
As part of the NBA All-Star Game format, the two teams will compete to win each quarter for their respective beneficiaries. Team LeBron will play for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund and Team Durant will play for UNCF (United Negro College Fund), with both organizations providing scholarship funding to further the higher education of students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
A total of $1.75 million will be contributed to the two organizations. Each organization will receive an initial $500,000 contribution. At the end of each of the first three quarters, an additional $150,000 will be awarded to the leading team’s organization – totaling $450,000 for those three quarters. A remaining $300,000 will be awarded to the organization of the team that wins the NBA All-Star Game. The winner of the NBA All-Star Game will be the first team to reach or surpass the Final Target Score.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will select the replacement for any player unable to participate in the All-Star Game, naming a player from the same conference as the player who is being replaced. The player who is named as a replacement would join the team that drafted the replaced player. If a replaced player is a starter, the head coach of that team would name a new starter from his team’s group of reserves. Jazz head coach Quin Snyder will lead Team LeBron, and 76ers head coach Doc Rivers will guide Team Durant.
Below are the 2021 NBA All-Star Draft results and the 2021 NBA All-Star Game rosters.

Durant and James made their picks without regard to a player’s conference affiliation or position. Each captain drafted 11 players to complete a 12-player roster. The NBA All-Star Draft rules include:
- The eight players who, along with the two captains, are the starters will be drafted in the first round.
- The 14 players who are the reserves will be drafted in the second round.
- As the top overall vote-getter among fans, James will have the first pick in the first round (Starters). Durant will have the first pick in the second round (Reserves).
- The captains will alternate picks in each round until all players in that round have been selected.
- Durant will not play in the NBA All-Star Game because of a left hamstring strain. Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis was named as an injury replacement in the reserves pool.
- Durant will be replaced in the starter pool for the NBA All-Star Draft by Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who was selected as an All-Star reserve. According to NBA rules, an injured All-Star Game starter is replaced in the starter pool for the NBA All-Star Draft by the All-Star reserve from the same conference and of the same position group who received the highest ranking in the voting for All-Star starters. Tatum will be selected with the starters in the first round of the NBA All-Star Draft.
- Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker was named as an injury replacement to injured Lakers forward Anthony Davis and will be in the reserve pool.
go ny go ny go
Pete Rose would sell his own mother's kidney for a betting slip. He was a special type of degenerate. Now with that being said I still don't think he bet on the Reds to LOSE. He was too much of a competitor to sabotage himself to lose a game even if it ment a financial gain. But like I said he's such a Supreme degenerate you just can never be too sure.
I don't think that era will be looked at unfavorably. Hell most new fans don't look past 2010.
At the end of the day, Stern will probably be most remembered as the commissioner who brought the league to the world stage. Those Dream Teams of the early 90s brought the NBA to tv's all across the world.
He may, but I'd bet on Joker getting 13 assists over 40 points. He's a phenomenal passer. That shit cannot be underrated the court vision he has. You can pencil Embiid in for 45 and 15 though. And he may get Jokic in foul trouble too. That's why I say he won't get 40. Jo Jo on a mission. Joker won't get in his way.
Fair assessment. Yeah Embiid destroying. Still rather have Joel than Joker cuz Embiid defends. That's my dude.
The Wall and Chris Paul are , but hey opinions are like ass holes
Heat are interested in john wall and KAT
He forgot to mention the Knicks.
Clippers or Warriors with Blake could be very interesting.
Personally I'd love to see Blake retire as a Clipper. Be nice if they won him a ring on his way out, but I don't see that happening.
I agree. He never takes a night off on the defensive end no matter how is offensive game is going
Bout time, hopefully the G league humbled him & he can start on the right path this time.
