oh my god

that’s got me a little misty

Sean Marks said he hasn't talked to Kevin Durant since the season ended on the state of the team. Said Durant (who has been in Monaco and Greece) wanted to get away for a bit.

i love jokics whole balkan horse accordion scene its so not american we are richer for it

Mike Malone really looks like a random Jokic family member

the kiss on the cheek…he’s a made serbian

WILL THE SIXERS MAX OUT ON JAMES HARDEN y/n

I wonder if anyone on ESPN is going to weigh in on that?

yes but i'm asking the posters of ILH, who are smarter

not lag∞n, who is using us all for a performance art piece

I can't see how you could

WILL THE SIXERS MAX OUT ON JAMES HARDEN y/n

i can’t wait to see that contract. i don’t think morey can actually give him the max contract but how much of a cut does harden accept

he’s gonna get waaayy more than 3/75

Yah prob

The god has spoken

James Harden, in a close out game you can't have a performance like that; only take two shots and score no points in the second half?

Maybe Morey will give Harden the max after a real heart to heart convo where James looks in Darryl's eyes and promises to get in shape in the offseason.

its a perfect story that the smartest man in basketball was so enamored with james harden that he forgot to check if he was still good at basketball

not lag∞n, who is using us all for a performance art piece

ESPN Sources with @RamonaShelburne: Kyrie Irving has long had one of Nike’s most popular and profitable signature shoes, but uncertainties surrounding his NBA future leave Nike unlikely to extend him to a similar signature deal beyond next season: https://t.co/RbGJMYVbLC

that was pretty crazy when he publicly trashed them. i wouldnt want any part of him either.

yeah i had forgotten about that, i guess that incident made this close to a foregone conclusion

he such an idiot. hes had all these clips floating around from his twitch feeds and i just cant stomach listening to him.

ah man torn acl for danny green. this may be the end of the line for his career.

Great pro

if his rehab goes normally i bet he’s on a contending roster come the playoffs next year. some team
who is desperate for wing shooting will give him a shot

he'll get one more shot if he wants it but hes likely not playing until the 2024 season

hes 34 if i were him id be thinking about hanging it up, you really want to go through a year of intense rehab to maybe get a shot at a min deal idk rip

DRAYMOND: "You got this Ogre on TV...these are people employed to talk on TV about our game."

similar to how folks seems to be slowly hipping to the fact that letting politics morons spew whatever they want on TV is potentially bad for society I need a new yorker expose on how people like perkins and shaq have jobs talking nonsense about the NBA when they should know better but just don’t care to

let me tell you something at the end of the day theres just an appetite for two guys on tv disagreeing and if the topic is an obvious one well someones going to have to take the dumb side

and god draymond is such a trenchant ideas guy, he needs to sit down and watch barkley in the studio, constantly acting like your opinion is the best one ever thought doesnt help your case

if he really wanted to bring the cold hard basketball truths he wouldve said i dont shoot because im bad at it and its not good to do the things youre bad at

i mean perk didnt shoot either lol

one has to assume that ESPN and TNT have market research indicating that the Shaqs and Perks of the world have added value. Even though he's been on for like 15 yrs I still honestly think of Shaq as an interloper to the original (and all-time) Inside the NBA with just Ernie-Kenny-Chuck. But I'm sure all the dumb bits with Shaq are the most popular segments, so

at least on espn idk abt tnt the producers literally plan out the sides of the arguments ahead of time

kd wld never want to be a pundit but hes obvs a thinker about the game

Size for position, shotmaking, efficiency, IQ, consistency, being able to guard multiple positions, a wiling passer, coachable, energetic…in my humble opinion https://t.co/7MaEUhbxyg

the draft guy at the althetic has jabari smith ranked ahead of chet and it just seems crazy to me this is the contemporary version of teams just taking an athletic seven footer first just cause thats the valuable type of guy except in this case hes a big wing who can shoot and defend and tbf he is very big and athletic and can shoot the heck out of the ball but im watching his season highlight package now and feel very comfortable in saying that he had fewer than ten impressive drives all last year he just does not seem to have an off the bounce game hes a 3 and d guy youre really gonna draft a 3 and d guy number one

granted hes very young and has time to learn things but just never driving at all idk and chet is a natural baller he does it all and is scrappy too literally the one strike against chet is that hes a skinny man, smith might be soft its hard to say doesnt seem like hes in there mixing it up
