We have a guy like Vando who busts his ass but Ham treats him like a bum.

Lakers may actually end up losing this one by less than 20.

To someone watching their first NBA game, how would you explain why Jaylen Brown is the highest-paid player in the game?

Paid every time he throws the ball away or gets it taken from him?

The NBA has a very stupid CBA that results in players salaries being only partially associated with player quality

Any smart person would say he was ALL NBA 2nd team last season and was the first to be able to take advantage of the new extensions. In 2 years there will be 15 contracts bigger than his.

He’s also got 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist in 10 mins.

He's the only guy that would coach the Hornets. He basically has tenure.

Jaylen brown was only all nba last yr because the voters hate harden with a passion

Jaylen brown might be the most overrated player in the nba with banchero, ant edwards, and fox gaining on his heels fast

A lot of times teams get super sloppy when they play the 2nd-3rd string.
