Give himself the proper healing time, get his strength and conditioning up to be ready for the next season. Getting back to being himself, having fun on the court. He knows he’s electrifying.

Michael Scotto: Kyrie Irving on Luka Doncic: “I’m amazed. I don’t use that word lightly either… I think he’s answered a lot of calls.

I would like to have this in the NBA. I traveled from Greece today on a plane with... Читать дальше...
