Gino - Ray Allen or George Gervin

Antwuan - Shawn Kemp

Jesus and Alfonso Fernandez - Pau and Marc Gasol

Louie Barletta - Julius Randle for the Skechers connection

Rayssa - Caitin Clark

Beatrice - Brian Scalabrine since they both had people on the internet in their feelings. 😂

Interesting comparison, don’t agree with it completely. That comparison really a disservice to MJ . Where I agree with is both iconic + both  can just come out of the woods & just still own it in their perspective crafts . 

Top of my head , Reynolds - MJ

Ok Guy and MJ work if it was true about MJs addiction (gambling) that caused it.   Penny and MJ if Jordan just chose to walk away

Welp it’s not a series until the home team wins right?

Nice to see the Nugs bounce back like that.

I didn’t know how funny Melo is. And his co-host is Mero. Best new NBA podcast. Melo talking about George Karl is so funny. Karl comparing Melo to Detlef Schrempf had me in stitches. Detlef Schrempf maybe the silliest name in NBA history.

And…Just watching the parade highlights you know Mike Malone is the coolest coach in the NBA.

Small adjustments to strain and spread the Wolves defense, I'd like to see how they respond to this.

I guess I have to take back everything I said about the Pacers being soft, todays game was one of the most thorough ass whippings I have ever witnessed and I’ve been watching playoff basketball since I was ten.

Never seen such a ridiculous start and the way the Pacers just built up the lead and never once let their foot off the gas or off the Knicks necks, I mean that’s what you have to do in this league where no lead is safe , today everything the Pacers threw up went in and New York could not for the life of them begin to purchase a bucket.

I knew Halliburton could ball but he seemed like the only real threat they had on offense but they have a bunch of guys who step up and their bench is ludicrous especially that annoying fucking white boy who is put on Jalen Brunson and absolutely smothered the shit out of him and it didn’t help that Brunson couldn’t buy a bucket in the entire first half and the Knicks as a whole shot horribly from the field especially from three where they were abysmal.

Series tied 2-2 but who knows what it would be if that fuck in Game 3 doesn’t make that ridiculous 31 foot three pointer with the shot clock running out and game tied with 17 seconds left, I mean the Knicks were a cunt hair away from a chance at a 3-0 series lead there for a second and now it’s a best 2 out of 3 and the Pacers have a shit ton of momentum, it’s gonna be a fucking war in NY for game 5 and the Knicks better make some adjustments or they’re fucked I’m afraid.

I mean yeah the Pacers played well but the Knicks are four key players short by now including three starters, so it’s no wonder they ran out of gas at some point. Hope they can rest some for game 5 and make it competitive.

Nuggets manning up is a joy to see, especially after everyone wrote them off. Still think both teams have a shot at winning though.

I love Rudy low key calling him out "you just wanna hear about yourself, melo" basically lol

Oh I'm a coach Malone Stan. Gotta wonder Boogies trajectory had they kept Malone... maybe no difference, but better than George Karl's way of dealing with players.

I was pretty young, but i do remember Detlef being pretty nice. I might've even had his jersey! catching strays lmao

ATL getting top pick is wild.   Some interesting options available.  Move Trae and start building that young team?

They will more than likely pick Alex Sarr and maybe trade to San Antonio, but I would keep him.

I don’t know much about Atlanta but it would be nice if they built with Trey Young. It’s nice to keep marquee players like Steph and Klay in Golden State.

Seems like a strange year to have the number 1 pick...is there even a consensus number 1? Weaker draft. Granted i didn't watch enough college hoops to really say.

Or Euro League…

I feel like draft years like this are the ones where someone who gets picked in the 10-20s will shine most in a few years

Crazy to see Coach Malone get that tech calling out an offensive foul, then Minny proceeds to have like 3-4 in a row called, they deserved it too. He’s awesome.

Didn’t matter tho, Jokic just went off. AG has been playing his role perfectly this series. Conley being out hurt the TWolves but not sure it would’ve made a difference.

3-0 after shaq said Jokic didn't deserve the MVP lol. Dry erase board material. I mean it's the same as last season a coin flip between Embiid and Jokic. Both Equally as important to their respective teams.

SGA, Luka, Jokic all had arguments for it this season..
