As a guy who loves puns, Dorture Chamber is up there as one of my favorite nicknames for active players.

Yeah not a big fan either. They should limit it to each team's players 25 and under and/or under a certain career earnings. Would be a good chance for fans to see guys that don't play a ton (like in summer league) and the intensity would be, uh, high lol.

Many teams would struggle to put together a 5 man starting lineup.

Fun side note, Mikal Bridges led the league with 83 games played last year (due to the trade).

Lebron wore a pearl choker necklace on stage at the ESPY’s. I got out of the jewelry industry 3 years ago tomorrow, and damn have things changed in 36 months.

"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."
