Drew Hill: Dillon Brooks on the Klay Thompson taunt: “Refs let it happen. He was doing it all game then they want to catch the bad guy. That’s wack to me. F-cking up calls and putting the wrong guys at the free-throw line. It was a circus. Should have had different refs.”

Scoot Henderson has drawn comparisons to Donovan Mitchell, Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, and John Wall, according to several NBA executives and scouts who spoke with HoopsHype. Henderson was the unanimous No. 2 overall pick in all 10 mock drafts polled. In any other draft class without a generational talent like Wembanyama, Henderson would be the top prospect.

Gilbert Arenas: If the video came out, someone wanted it to be seen. Q. Well, whoever filmed it could just wanted the clout of putting it out. Arenas: No, that was organizational. Q. Do you say the Warriors wanted that video to make Draymond look bad? Arenas: Okay, let’s just put it to thought. We have practice cameras, we have camera cameras, we have people filming… It happened. Who is in control of it all now? The team. ‘Hey, anybody who recorded it, this is not getting out. If this gets out... Читать дальше...

Tim MacMahon: “I’m happy to be here,” Christian Wood told ESPN when asked about the possibility of an extension. “That’s what I’ll say. The vibe is good. … I’m open to it.” I asked if it needs to be for four years. “I can’t answer that,” Wood said with a laugh before walking away.

Nowitzki was in awe of James’ athleticism this far in his career. “It’s tremendous that he can still play like this in Year 20. His athleticism is incredible, and I’m happy for him,” Nowitzki said. He even went a step further, weighing in on the GOAT debate. “I always say Michael Jordan is the GOAT, but if James surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with the scoring record, I’m sort of running out of arguments for Michael,” Nowitzki added.

The only question some around the league have is whether Wembanyama will be able to remain healthy due to his unique size and skill set, given injuries to fellow unicorn types such as Chet Holmgren, Kristaps Porzingis, etc. As one NBA scout told HoopsHype, “Some people compared his physique with Chet Holmgren, but Victor’s shoulders and frame are better. You don’t pass on him No. 1 because you’re worried about an injury at his size.”

The 2023 NBA Draft is headlined by center Victor Wembanyama and guard Scoot Henderson, but who are the top prospects on the board following that dynamic duo?

For the third year in a row, we are getting reports of James Harden setting his sights elsewhere. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Harden is seriously considering a return to the Rockets this offseason. This report comes on the eve of the Sixers extending their winning streak to eight games, which makes it surprising especially given its timing. The idea of Harden leaving a contending Sixers team for a rebuilding Rockets team could be hard to believe for some, but according to Wojnarowski... Читать дальше...

Grizzlies guard Ja Morant debuted his first signature shoe with Nike yesterday in Memphis’ Christmas Day matchup against the Warriors.

Thompson himself had a different explanation of what happened between him and Brooks. “He was talking dynasty and all that. You can’t talk dynasty when you haven’t won,” Thompson told after the match. “I don’t think people realize how hard that is, the commitment and sacrifice it takes. You have to sacrifice your body.” “I thought it was premature talk to even mention that word. They bring the best out of us, I think we do the same. If you don’t like them, you have to respect them because they’re a threat,” Klay concluded. Читать дальше...
