Kevin Love on his Instagram memes during the Jimmy Butler and Miami Heat drama last season 👀 “Last year especially with all the Jimmy sh*t going on and how crazy that was, thought it was a good time to show my personality… it was actually the fight in Houston, well “fight” we know Tyler Herro isn’t fighting anybody, Terry Rozier, Thompson that was hilarious so I decided I was going to pull some stuff…. It was cool I got to play both sides. I wasn’t picking a side with Pat Riley, Andy Ellisburg, Coach Spo, or any of my teammates that were on that side, and I wasn’t picking a side with Jimmy. I was playing middle of the line” (Via TheOldManAndTheThree)

He would’ve got poured on” (Via Hoopin' N Hollerin’)

Channing Fry says Donovan Mitchell is a better pure scorer than Wade, but Wade dominates everything else “Mitchell as far as shooting is far better than D Wade, everything else I think D Wade dominates… just a pure scorer, Donovan Mitchell has that over D Wade. Everything else, rebounding, defending, blocking shots, it’s D Wade” (Via Road Trippin’ Show) 🤔

Shannon Sharpe on Bam and A’ja Wilson relationship: “Bam been playing some ball ever since A’ja came into his life. He ain’t gonna catch her as far as accolades. He can forget that. That ship done sailed. I think she has a great case right now to be the GOAT of women’s basketball player. He ain’t got NO CHANCE in catching her with all those MVPs, finals MVPs, DPOYs, National champion, college player of the year. That’s over. They’re a great couple man. There is nothing not to like about them. Bam don’t bother nobody he go out there and play hard. If you follow his story, grew up in NC in a single trailer home with his mom. Then A’ja, I seen her play. Watching her on TV don’t do no justice. She play both ends of the court!” (Via Nightcap)

Iman Shumpert on the Giannis and Bam fit: “The strengths become defensively, they can switch things. They both are intense of going for blocks, the other guy off the ball is allowed to roam free…. The only thing I can think of as a weakness would just be the 3 point shooting. On offense they both kind of Co exist in the same spots. They like the dunker… They both need a little time with their handle and it creates bad angles for people. I would like to see them on the breakaway more if it’s going to be exciting. The only thing is in the half court if you don’t have shooting, you’ll be in trouble at times”

I think people forgot how this guy was on the basketball court Max: Between Jordan’s last finals and LeBrons’ first great finals performance, the best finals performance by a non big, easily was Dwyane Wade in 2006. He was basically Michael Jordan that year. (Via Game Over)

Brian Windhorst says Bam Adebayo Confronted Him in Lille, France when he suggested Bam sacrifices his minutes so Jayson Tatum could play 💀 "Bam Adebayo was on the last two teams and is so valuable because he can defend multiple positions. He jumped me in Paris for what I said on TV. Tatum was not playing. I was explaining on TV, I don't see how Tatum is going to play unless like somebody else doesn't play. And I was like, you know, maybe like Bam Adebayo. So I said that on American TV and the next day we were in Paris or actually we were in Lille, France and Bam was like ‘Really? I'm not going to play? I defend 1-5 bro!’ I was like hey you're right and guess what he played. Tatum didn't." (via The Hoop Collective)

Jason Williams says D Wade and Shaq partied in every city they went to during 2006 season and reveals why he nicknamed Dwyane Wade ‘Boobie’ 👀 “NBA guys are just different. I didn’t go to no clubs or anything like that but for the Heat though, Shaq and D Wade are pretty big stars right? So any city we go to they having a party. Ones having a party here, Ones having a party there, but that party is going to ravine at the hotel lobby. Every city…. Boobie, from Friday Night Lights. I’d tell Pat Riley we’d be down in the 4th and Wade is on the bench I’d go ‘HEY PAT! If you wanna win you better put Boobies ass back in!’ Pat Riley was cool man. Cool as a fan”

Jeremy Lin talks about the night the Miami Heat ‘ended’ his Linsanity run: “When the spotlight is on me, I get nervous. I start sweating…. I shrink. It’s overwhelming for me. Linsanity was that x100,000. Going into the Heat game, I had so much hype, that everybody had me circled on their calendar. For me, I’m just trynna make it to the cut deadline to have my minimum contract guaranteed. I’m just trying to make it. Everyday else is like ‘I’m trying to end him.’ Credit to Chalmers, the big 3 and the Heat. That was the night everybody says Linsanity ended. Credit to them because they did that. To me, the fact I could garner that attention and respect that they watched that much film on me and not wanting me to have anything. That showed me I really made waves. I wasn’t supposed to be here. Let alone having LeBron, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Chalmers, and Norris Cole being like ‘Yo, we’re going to send the whole fleet to go stop him!’ (Via DH12 Above the Rim)
