Eric Nehm: Bucks coach Adrian Griffin tells reporters that he was caught off guard by Terry Stott’s decision to step down. “You’re going to have to ask Terry…It was his decision.” Full quote from Griffin, when asked why Terry Stotts stepped down as assistant coach: “You’re going to have to ask Terry.

LeBron James has racked up a sparkling on-court resume since he entered the NBA in 2003 at 18 years old as “The Chosen One.” Highlights include being the league’s all-time leading scorer, 10 NBA finals trips, four NBA titles and All-NBA first team 13 times.

James’ career earnings from salaries and endorsements will hit an estimated $1.4 billion by the end of this season, behind only Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods and Cristiano Ronaldo among athletes all time.

“Golden State, their picture is already painted,” Jordan Poole said during an interview with The Athletic. “Some other organizations, they’re already established or they have their foundation. But it was cool ’cause I got to learn from the best of the best. “That’s the challenge,” he added. “The challenge is learning and applying what you took and trying to build everything up from the common denominators of what you do know, what you took from different teams, different age groups, different areas...

You overcame a major injury to get there. What advice would you give to anyone who might be dealing with the same? Jamal Murray: While going through rehab, I just tried to set goals for myself, like, “OK, when I come back, I want to jump higher. I want to have a little quicker first step.” There were days in the weight room when I didn’t want to be there, or my knee was sore. But, even if I couldn’t do it then, I’d do it later. I had that mindset of always working for something. I didn’t want to get complacent. Читать дальше...

Because we like to have fun, we have to ask: If you could be any superhero for a day, what hero are you picking? Why? Jamal Murray: I’m a big fan of Iron Man, OK? I think Iron Man would be super cool. I also would want something that’s not quite like mind reading but along those lines. Maybe something that slows down time or teleportation.

With the start of the NBA season just a few days away, we decided to take a closer look at potential award winners for each NBA team. There are obvious picks with some teams and hard choices with others, who face super long shots to get into the awards mix.

Anthony Slater: Here’s Steve Kerr on Chris Paul coming off the bench tonight. Sounds like part of it is getting Paul in a pick-and-roll heavy lineup. “I told him we need him to be himself. He’s trying to fit in. Sometimes we need him to go take four mid-range jumpers in a row.”

In the last 10 years, the last 6 being in the NBA, I have been playing basketball at the highest level. This year, I realized that the mental and physical tiredness brought about by the years has started to affect my health. On 2 June 2023, to not aggrieve anyone, I got together with the authorities of the federation before the roster was announced, and I asked to be excused from the FIBA Pre-Olympic Qualifying Tournament [in Istanbul]. I told them that I wanted to use this time to get some rest and get rehabilitated. Читать дальше...
