Wow I was surprised by how comfortable he seemed talking to all those reporters. When I was 19, if I was being interviewed by a whole room with loads of cameras on me, my ears would have been burning.

WTF? So you've come to that based on this one play? He got blocked, he also blocked a few shots and forced a few turnovers as well. In games that actually matter he's proving to be quite a defensive specialist himself as the season progresses at just 20 years old...

6th in Defensive Box Plus/Minus
19th in Defensive Win Shares
13th in Blocks Per Game, 22nd in Block Percentage
18th in Steals Per Game, 24th in Steals Percentage
46.8% Opponent fg% at rim (10th among players with 6 fga per)

Traded Holiday for Noel and the following Pelican's pick which ultimately netted them Saric, Orlando's 2015 second, and got the rights back to their own future first as well.

You did post a winky face, although that's a lot of sarcasm to imply with just an emoticon if that was the purpose of it.

Anyone watching the practice?

Would have thought Curry would have been closer on the blind-folded free throw. Wall missed his 2 feet to the right.

BG should be on this list. Has a Clipper been on any RGM poll?

That was disappointing. All Star practice used to have a bit more going on. No world record attempts, no half court shootout, no Media takeover (in 2011 LA they had the media and celebrities storm the court with the players and covered that for an hour). Barely had 20 minutes of content this year.

A shame if they don't. I couldn't care less for yesterdy's or tomorrow's game. It's not like tonight means anything but at least it's a little more fun.

Why isn't Russ, Swaggy, and D-whistle in this one?

This is Lebron's thing. Didn't want them to steal his shine? Conflicts with the fashion represented? I don't know but he clearly didn't invite them lol.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.

Barkley's giving JR's outfit a 10? Seriously? I'm sure analytics would see him as a 4 at best.

Is Lilliard going to write an essay about being snubbed from this one?
