Chris Mannix: “Every time you see kind of Duncan Robinson running around there defensively or Tyler Herro before him, you know they could use a defensive-minded wing [like Dillon Brooks], and I could see him finding his way down there and the Heat being aggressive and trying to get a guy at a relatively bargain basement price,” he said. “That, to me, that feels like a frontrunner right now.”

Actress and businesswoman Jessica Alba has long been a basketball fan. She even supports both teams in Los Angeles – the Lakers and the Clippers. “A very West Coast thing,” she once said in an ESPN interview.

It’s rare, but there have been times in NBA history when a player is so good, so quickly that they receive MVP votes very early on in their careers.

However, Smailagic says that his former teammate is an entirely different person than most of the fans might think. “Everyone is saying a lot of stuff, but for me, he’s like my brother,” Smailagic told BasketNews. “I really love him. Whatever he says or does on the court is not the same off the court because he’s a really nice and good guy. He loves to help people, talk to young players, and help to develop their game.”

Harrison Faigen: “It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care what no one thinks,” Anthony Davis says on @SpectrumSN if he cares about proving doubters wrong during these playoffs. “Opinions outside of the locker room… are irrelevant to me.”

The Los Angeles Lakers secured a 117-112 victory over Golden State in Game 1 of their playoff series thanks to a monumental showing from Anthony Davis, who became the first Laker since Shaquille O’Neal to notch a 30-point, 20-rebound game. Despite Stephen Curry (27 points), Klay Thompson (25), and Jordan Poole (21) becoming the first trio in NBA history with six threes each in a playoff game, LeBron James had the last laugh with a solid 22 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks.

LeBron broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s All-Time scoring record a few months ago. How cool was that? Kentavious Caldwell-Pope: I mean, every time I look up I think he’s breaking a record somewhere so it never ceases to amaze me. He’s been a great player his whole career and I’m just glad that I was a part of some of his accomplishments and still being able to congratulate him and stuff like that, man. It’s a GREAT milestone for him.

After falling out of the rotation in Cleveland, he has grabbed hold of a starting job in Miami and is six games deep into what he surely hopes can be a long playoff run this spring. He had his choice of other options when he hit free agency in the winter — Love said he considered the Philadelphia 76ers — but there was a reason he targeted the Heat. “Because of this,” he told The Athletic. “It’s always been about win and win now.
