USA vs World is an ok compromise for an NBA All-Star Game format but NBA vs Europe would be better. Here’s Jokic chanting “Europe! Europe!” because he’s winning at Mario Kart. From Mike Singer’s Jokic book: ‘Why So Serious?’

I don't care if the dunk didn't happen. Gradey Dick made a highlight that his teammates and fans wants to see over and over.

Bogdan Bogdanovic having a good game against Giannis, who could use his old buddy on his squad.

That spa visit after All-Star weekend energized Zaccharie Risacher. Two different 1st quarter possessions where he got scrappy and grabbed two offensive rebounds each time.

Saw these Celtics City Edition shorts in the wild. I had to go make a friend.

I just picked my “Nut Dust Bowl” team yesterday and I’m already not gonna lose/avoid having the worst record. Tas - Hornets - 14-39 (WIN!!!!) Skeets - Pelicans - 13-42 Trey - Jazz - 13-41

Loved reading this piece on the late Dikembe Mutombo -- www.cbssports.com/nba/news/why...

Kyleft Kuzma

The Charlotte Hornets are the only NBA team to not have a win against a division opponent. They're 0-9. Somehow, Washington is 5-4 against teams in their division this season. Shoutout to @kdonhoops.bsky.social for noticing that.

Time for the 76ers to shut down Joel Embiid. He told Lisa Salters he might need another knee surgery and a long recovery to get right. They could make the play-in tourney and then lose to the Cavs or Celtics but what’s the point? 1/3

Raptors: "Play-in tournament, here we come!"

Gonna watch Kawhi vs Pascal forever

When you disappointed dad

🚨 On today's EMERGENCY POD, the guys try to make sense of WHY the Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis. 🚨 YouTube 📺: bit.ly/40GDEYH Audio 🎧: theathletic.lnk.to/nodunksTX

Was set to ask Jordan Poole about my new cat series 'Tabby Tales' and then the trade happened.

I would like to know what David Blatt thinks about the Luka trade.

This is why the NBA moved the trade deadline from after the all-star game to before it.

Jalen Green just had a January that's pretty similar to his March of last season: MAR '24: 15 gms | 27.7 PPG | 49.2 FG% | 40.8 3P% | TS 61.3% JAN '25: 15 gms | 25.7 PPG | 46.7 FG% | 42.7 3P% | TS 60.3%

When I saw Zaccharie Risacher in a leather jacket on the bench Tuesday vs the Rockets, I knew he'd be ready to make his return against the Cavs.

NBA Conspiracies: Warriors told Jimmy Butler to tank his trade value. That way, they have to give up less. Light years ahead, as always. youtube.com/shorts/4_kSG...

LaMelo Ball is the first player to get the most All-Star fan votes at a position but not make the team, right?

Atlanta Hawks fan section chanted "Your brother's better!" to Amen Thompson. And then they pulled it out for Aaron Holiday.

The Rockets are running so much on the Celtics that Boston’s broadcaster, Drew Carter, said: “I need a lozenge, bro.”

Jalen Johnson injury really stinks for the Hawks. If it's longterm, having a flashback to last season when they started 8-7, then went 4-10 in the 14 games he missed right after the start.

I’ve seen Daeqwon Plowden hit shots in two different arenas

Gonna tell my kids that I saw Vit Krejci’s career high

Started a “Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce” chant in Atlanta

The Vit Krejci game turned into the Orlando Robinson game.
