Ben Simmons explains why he passed up the wide open dunk against the Hawks in Game 7 of the 2021 playoffs “In the moment, I just spun and I’m assuming Trae’s going to come over quicker. I’m thinking he’s going to come full blown, and I see Matisse going. Matisse is athletic and can get up. I’m thinking, ‘Okay, quick pass. He’s going to flush it,’ not knowing how much space there was” “It happened so quick that you just make a read. And in the playoffs, you need to make the right decisions the majority of the time. I mean, bro, it happened and I was like, ‘Okay, shit. Now we’ve got to go make another play.’ That’s how I’m thinking. I didn’t realize how everyone’s posting. I’m like, ‘Was it that big’” “When I look at it now, I’m like, ‘Man, I should've just punched that shit.’ But it didn’t happen, and I was okay with that. I can live with that. Everyone’s trying to kill me over one play. Does everyone want to watch film with me, like the whole arena, and I could dissect everything if you guys want. But that’s not realistic” (via TheOldManAndTheThree)

Shaquille O’Neal says the solution to making the WNBA more exciting is to lower the rim so players can dunk “In men’s beach volleyball and women’s beach volleyball, the net is lowered just a little bit” “The only thing missing from the WNBA to the NBA game is the dunk. I’m not saying lower it to 9 feet or 8 feet… so they can dunk” “I think if they did that, it would make the game more exciting. They got the handles, they got the shooters, they got the showmanship, they just don’t have the dunk. Just imagine if you lower the rim just a little bit”

Kevin Love says LeBron James refuses to use roaming data in Toronto and waits until he can connect to Wi-Fi “I’ve seen it a million times in Toronto. They talk about wealth and all that. It’s the things you don’t see. For him, if we’re in Toronto, that drive from the airport and going through customs to then getting to our hotel, there’s no data used at all” “He’s waiting for the Wi-Fi all the time. Then that drive from the hotel to the arena, Air Canada, also waits to get to the arena Wi-Fi” “What’s the finance great saying. ‘A small leak can sink a great ship.’ I can appreciate it. It’s not like I’m mad at him. But c’mon bro. It’s just roaming”

J.J. Redick names the 5 greatest 3-point shooters in NBA history “Steph is first. Everybody else is way down the list to me. In no particular order, the other four it’s Klay Thompson, Kyle Korver, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller” “I don't want to disparage the previous iteration of three point shooters in the ’80s or the ’90s, but those guys were not shooting the shots we take today. Those guys were not taking the difficult shots we were taking, nor were they shooting it at the volume” “So, yes, a guy like Tim Legler, great shooter. He shot, I think 55.6 percent one year to lead the league, but he wasn't shooting the shots Klay was shooting. He’s not shooting the shots Kyle Korver was shooting, and that's not a knock on Tim” “It was a different game, and the game has evolved. Now we put such a premium on generating three-point looks. It's not just about the quality of the look. It's the volume of looks” (via The Draymond Green Show)

Ludacris says Justin Timberlake told him to “shut the fuck up” backstage after he celebrated winning the Grammy for Best Rap Album for Release Therapy “Every time I went to the Grammys, I’m in the category with Eminem and Ja Rule, and these motherfuckers were killing this shit. Jay-Z, DMX, huge artists. But when it comes to these motherfuckers, I’m losing every fucking award” “I come around and finally, I make this album, Release Therapy. I’m making this fucking album, and I’m going to win Best Rap Album for this shit. I’m specifically going in, writing this shit, making it the way it needs to be. And when they called my fucking name, that did it for me. It was over a decade of loss, and then finally getting that recognition” “Because I was so passionate after I got that award, I went backstage. At this time they had all the artists separated by curtains. So motherfuckers weren’t in specific rooms. I get back and I’m like, ‘Yeah, fuck yeah, I made it. I did it. I won. I literally set out to make this album to get a Grammy, and I got it’” “All of a sudden, I hear this voice from the other room, on the other side of the curtain. The motherfucker is like, ‘Shut the fuck up, man. Some of us didn’t win any goddamn Grammys today.’ I’m like, ‘Who the fuck is that?’ I pull the curtain back. This dude Justin Timberlake is on the other side. That dude said, ‘Shut the fuck up. Some of us didn’t win any goddamn Grammys this year.’ That motherfucker Justin is gangster, bro”

CJ McCollum says he told his agent to accept a $97,000,000 offer before ultimately signing a 4-year, $106,000,000 contract with the Portland Trail Blazers “My agent hit me and he was like, ‘I think we’re at 97.

Kyle Kuzma says the NBA bubble was a “prison for athletes” after living in a 300 square foot room for three months “It was hard just being there. Being in a bubble. That’s not our lifestyle. We like to be extremely comfortable when we’re not on the court. You want to be home. You want to be chilling in your house, your nice sofa, watching a movie. That’s what you want to do” “You don’t want to be in Mickey Mouse’s house in 300 square feet for three months. That’s crazy. We liked to call it a prison for athletes. That’s what it was.

Kristaps Porziņgis says a lack of communication and maturity contributed to things not working out with Luka Doncic in Dallas “It’s a big mix of things. Maturity for sure. I’m talking about what I could have done better. It’s many things, the majority on my part. I wasn’t that much into analytics and numbers” “If somebody at that stage of my career, presented it to me the right way and said, ‘This is what we need to do. This is what we need from you. You’re going to be way more effective doing this,’ and explained it to me better, that would have made a difference” “I could have done some things better. It didn’t come out the way all of us envisioned, but I definitely learned a lot from that. I think we both tried to make it work. I think communication and maturity on both of our parts should have been better” (via TheOldManAndTheThree)

Michael Porter Jr. and Lonzo Ball say they would press a button that causes one random person to die for $1 billion Lonzo: “Click. You gotta do a click. I'm doing it strictly for the billion. Nothing else here” MPJ: “I’m doing it and this is the reason why. I could take $300 million and go save thousands of lives. Go give it to somewhere over there in Africa or somewhere that has a lot of poverty going on and save a bunch of lives. So that makes up for the one life that was lost for the billion. Then take the other $700 million to the crib. That’s how I would justify it” Lonzo: “This is what I’m gonna say: I didn’t catch the body. It wasn't me. I have no ties. My hand slipped type shit. I need the billion. We can figure out everything else after that”

Michael Porter Jr. says the 20% tipping culture is out of control and you shouldn’t have to tip $600 on a $3,000 meal “If you spending $3,000 on a meal, you shouldn’t have to tip $600, twenty percent” “Uber Eats is another thing.

They still just bringing the meal to you” “I would say tipping culture is definitely out of control. But I’m a bad tipper, I ain’t going to lie”

Jaylen Brown says he used the NBA Players Association instead of hiring an agent for the NBA Draft because they're paid to help players “When I entered the draft, I didn't have an agent. I'm probably the highest picked selected ever that didn't enter with an agent. When I was evaluating, I went through the whole process and sat with a bunch of people, and what they was offering I ain't really need. It was kind of already slotted, so I leaned on the union a lot more” “A lot of the agents came and was like, ‘Yeah, we'll move you to L.A. We'll get you a trainer, put some money in your pocket,’ and I was like, ‘For what? Do I gotta give the money back?’ They was like, ‘Nah, but standard agent fee is 4%.’ I'm starting to do the math, and a house, car, and all that, whatever he was offering, is a lot less than what 4% would have been” “Long story short, the math wasn't mathing for me. I ended up being the third pick. I think because I came in like that, a lot of people, I think it was the agents, they tried to slander my name a little bit, put it in the media that he's too this, he's too that. Ended up backfiring. It all worked out in the end” “With the union, we pay dues. All the players in the NBA pay dues. We all pay like $10,000 out of our salary that goes to hiring lawyers, hiring staff, CEO, everything that you need to lead a company that works for us. So all of that is our resources that we all pay for, that we agree to. Once I learned that, I just started using it” “I'm talking about you can get private investigations done. They give referrals for financial advisors. All type of stuff. Foundation wise, health insurance, whatever you need. They have a liaison that's paid to make sure that you get it done. So I put it on their desk like, ‘I need you to get this done.’ And they do because that's their job”

I have zero issues at the Lakers being like, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do this.’ The thing that I think they probably messed up on is, don’t give him $8 million guaranteed.
