Seeing Ayton choose basketball when he can be doing anything else during his time off is pretty refreshing, definitely not something we’ve seen from him in his career yet. I’m excited for him.

Come on, lets not get excited about Ayton wanting to play for his national team. That's like every players dream right up there with being drafted and winning a championship.


Yet US best players reject NT invites and Serbian fans on GB are angry Jokic is skipping the World Cup.

If you were an NBA player what would be your dream to accomplish in the league?

Getting to my second contract


And when you do finally receive your second contract what accolades entice you the most?

- 'Heard a rumor' is not the best way to lead off such a big reveal from an opposing team broadcaster / Sirius XM morning NBA radio host. Maybe it's real, but it BETTER be true if you are putting it out there.
- How hard was Beal going?
- Are there any videos of this?

Yea it doesn't sound like any are available (yet at least).

I'm not trying to sound bitter or angry. I just don't like the "heard a rumor" part. That really irks me.

I heard a rumor that Scal got beat by a 5th grader in pickup. He was incensed that the kid was talking trash... yada yada
If you can't prove it, you shouldn't be talking about it. Even if it did happen.

His definition of 'busting' could be the kid making endless jumpers or backing down the smaller Beal.

yeah, I dont' think anybody would believe that some high school white boy would actually be handing it to an NBA all-star going 100%. Beal was being nice, or **** around, or both.

It's just all the rage to hate the Suns, so this is probably just stirring the pot.
