If Mitch Richmond can make it in the Hall of Fame, then Grant Hill deserves a spot.

Lol the standard is sadly very low. Wait for STAT to make it.

That's one hell of an atrocious post if you are actually being sarcastic.

I am so sick of this all star game. If I wanted to watch Lebron show off and play most minutes I would like watch......you know the Cavs.

While I can't stand Lebron, he wasn't too bad tonight. Thats about as much of a compliment I will give him in a long long long time.

I‘m late on this, but my thoughts are:

JJ is generally a good guy, but he‘s lying about the word chink not being in any way a part of his vocabulary. He got tongue tied, but the "I" is chink is not the same sound as the "I" in Chinese. He deifinitely grew up using that word or uses it in the most private conversations

I just watched the clip. I assumed that he had made the slur while reading out a greeting in Manadarin or Cantonese, and that it came out wrong through translation. Didn't realize he was actually greeting them in English while making that slur. :lol: How dumb can you be? The people who filmed the clip, the team, and JJ himself, should have realized that error immediately. I don't think he's racist, but boy, he is pretty dumb for not fixing that right away.

If you guys want to learn a little more about the NBAGL, I wrote this for the site:

https://basketball.realgm.com/analysis/249020/The-Evolution-Of-The-G-League

Got some pretty cool quotes from coaches and execs about where the NBAGL has come from, where it is today and where it may be headed.

Love to hear your thoughts!

Since i only watched the last quarter of the all star game i didn't see that AD was wearing a Cousins jersey. I only saw it on his IG. I just think he's committed to making it work there in NO with Boogie. Things could change obviously with Boogie's injury, depends on how he looks when he returns to the court. IF Cousins is good and he's playing at all star level i don't see AD going anywhere.

I noticed that during the game, but I didn’t think much of it. I just saw it as a player showing support for a teammate who suffered a really bad injury that often cuts the careers of big men short. I don’t think it means he’s committed to staying with the pelicans, it was just more so a tribute to fallen teammate.

Wait til NO resigns Boogie to the MAX and you'll see the rumors explode.

Easily a top choice for worst of all time. The sultry lounge singer act just doesn’t work for the anthem.

Here are my thoughts, get the **** out of here with that bull. Not everyone is racist as much as people like you want them to be.

I'll call it now on page 2 of this thread. Warriors don't repeat this year. Who wins it all? I don't know, but I ain't feeling the Goldies this season to win the whole enchilada.

And the Warriors continue though to butter the Celtics buns.

They been doing this all year before and after we played them and now at the ASG.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays in Cleveland now,” one high-ranking Eastern Conference team executive said. “The Cavaliers put a really good team around him. The Cavaliers have made it really tough for him to decide to leave Cleveland again. The Lakers might have helped them keep LeBron.”

Marc Spears wrote this. You know who's tight with Marc Spears? Danny. I would bet a s***load that's Danny who said that.
