He did play like that when he was on the Nets though.

Still on track to have the 3rd best NBA career from that Duke title team. No surprise that the two guys who carried Duke to that title, with the last beautiful offense we ever got to see Duke run, are having by far the best NBA careers.

Made it to the top of a brand new profession in no time. Just required basketball knowledge and charisma, especially to appeal to a young demographic and corporate higher ups. I wonder if his abilities would translate anywhere else.

The irony is Kupchak probably had his best stretch as a GM in the last few weeks.

We are so fucking deep in the good cycle right now, I think it might qualify as pornography. Orlando beats NY behind 36 from Paolo. Pelicans win yet again behind a season-high 36 from Zion. New Orleans has now won 7 of 8.

Lefty died

Reading about Lefty over the years I always felt he got a raw deal from UM.

The video is even worse than the title. Within the first thirty seconds he cites Mamba Mentality and then ringz, Erneh

I want CBB games to start 2:30 apart instead of two hours apart. I'm really sick of the first five minutes of game time being cut off on my DVR. That's one eighth of the game. Why would you schedule games two hours apart in a sport where the average game length is 2:15 or so? I know it would require a lot of coordination between various TV networks and conferences, but I believe it could be done.

He’ll be a staunch Republican in a few more years, for better or for worse.

After this experience as a media guy, he’ll want to run to some other type of career where he can simply focus on baskefball X’s and O’s and using stats to improve performance. I wonder if there is a place like that for him.

I'm happy for Paolo, but I hate this shot with every fiber of my being. I feel like Duke churns out players who play like this too often.

It’s funny because without the contact that would be the exact shot late era Jordan would take in that situation.

I wonder what Jordan’s career could have looked like today with Daryl Morey as his GM

I'm happy for Paolo, but I hate this shot with every fiber of my being. I feel like Duke churns out players who play like this too often.

Paolo was kind of a mess at the end of that game. Went 0-2 from the line up 2, then Cade scored over him at the rim, then he half-loses the ball en route to that awful jumper. However, he's absurdly talented so it still somehow all results in a gamewinner.

Kind of a microcosm for who he is as a player in some ways. I've always sort of felt like he was a player with attributes all super high but with someone not super smart using his controller.
