Kevin Durant on the narrative that international players are taking over the NBA 👀 “It’s about time. They been coming into the league since the 80s… The real arguments should be who are they influenced by? Most of these dudes are influenced by who? Americans. It’s cool getting MVPs and stuff but who did you watch? You see Jokic, Porzingis, Shai, all these dudes with Iverson jerseys coming up…. They trynna play like us too. You look at Shai, is he an international player? His pipeline for being a NBA player came from the American system. Where’d he go to college? Where’d he go to high school?” (Via Boardroom)

Kevin Durant says the Knicks championship was the best as a viewer that he’s ever seen: “I was on the fence it they was going to win. And then they got down every game I’m just like, I don’t know. And then it’s like as they started coming back, I didn’t become a believer to be honest until the last game. I was just like the Spurs would be up 15 points every game, 29 points, and then they’ll just come back and steal a game.” (Via Boardroom)

Stephen A. Smith says where the hell the Los Angeles Lakers think they going with a bunch of white dudes: “SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT. SO I’m saying it. Your three TOP PLAYERS ARE WHITE DUDES. REALLY? This ain’t golf. This ain’t baseball. Hell, it ain’t even soccer. And we got a whole bunch of brothers ON TEAM USA. WHAT Y’ALL THINK THIS IS? IT’S BASKETBALL.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Bob Myers on how the Jaylen Brown trade went down to get him to Philadelphia: “Jaylen Brown was not like we lost the Knicks and we’re going to go get Jaylen Brown. Like that’s not what happened. It just that’s not what happend. Then you start hearing there was a possibility and the job then became is this a real thing with Jaylen Brown. Is it a real thing? And you know, I think Brad Stevens is one of the most straight shooters in the league. So when you work in the NBA as an executive you ultimately usually have at least one or two I don’t want to say transactions with every other GM. So, you know, if I call Trace, hey, you want to make a deal? He might be like, “Yeah, yeah, yeah.” And then he doesn’t I mean, it’s like I know you’re not this way, but you have to understand like he’s honest or he might tell me what I want to hear or he might lie to me. This dude just might lie. He lied to me two years ago. He’s going to lie to me again. That’s not Brad Stevens. So, when Brad Stevens responded with, “What are you offering?” Then you knew that there was a shot.” (Via Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady)

Kevin Durant on fans trying to rage bait him 😳 “People know if they say something to me I’ll say something back. You’re going to leave this interaction feeling f*cked up. Imma hit you in the soul. ‘I’m way better than you at life, I’ve accomplished what you want to do in life.’ All type of stuff. You don’t need to talk to me like that. You want to see this side of me. — since I was 10 I been talking sh*t like this. I feel great I can provide them with one of their most core memories of their life” (Via Boardroom)

Draymond Green says the real argument is a championship for a number one option as big as winning the regular season MVP: “That’s the actual argument. Not, oh, is it 11 or 12th men on the team. That’s not the argument. And no one’s trying to argue that. That’s bullsh*t. But a first option, Allah Jalen Brunson or MVP. I would love to know Dirk who won one championship and won MVP. I would love to know which one he loves most. Which one gave him the higher sense of accomplishment? One thing’s for certain, I know people talk about Dirk’s championship in 2011 far more than they talk about Dirk’s MVP in 07.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

Bob Myers says LeBron James chose the hardest path by joining the Sixers: “Now you say best chance to win. He goes back to Cleveland. He’s made man. He chose the only one reason. It’s to win. It wasn’t because I played there before. Or I grew up there. I want to play with my friend. It was because I want to win. So, I’m going to go where I want to go. It gives me the best chance to win.” (Via Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady)

Jason Willams GOES OFF on Enes Kanter 👀 “Enes Kanter stupid. Fu*k he doing, dog. Seriously. Why does he want to play with women? Why does he need attention? Just do a podcast or some sh*t. Why the fu*k do you want to play with girls? I don’t get that, dog. The last thing I want in life is attention. That’s the last thing. I’m not here for attention. If I weren’t here with all you guys, I’d still be somewhere talking about the same type sh*t. You know what I mean? So attention, bro. You want to play with girls, bro? The fu*k out of here? You’re 6’10 like 270.” (Via Hoopin' N Hollerin’)

Jeff Teague on Patrick Beverley saying the media killed Russell Westbrook career: “It’s hard sometimes when you a superstar, I can’t really speak to that I’ve never been to them levels but I could only imagine being a superstar. I think Chris Paul said it the best though, when he was talking about like, “You being the guy and you go to another team and it’s another guy over there the fans might be showing a little more love over there, the teammates might be rallying around that person.” When he went to the Lakers Bron was the guy, so somebody got to take the criticism. Anytime you go to LeBron’s team it’s going to be somebody else that’s getting the criticism even though LeBron get criticized a whole bunch but he always plays so well that if you not on his level people going to start blaming you.” (Via Club520podcast)

Draymond Green on Yaxel Lendeborg pitch to LeBron James to join Golden State: “Is the pitch too weak or too strong? I don’t know. I think the pitch is pointless, you know. But it’s fine. Training camp is coming soon enough and you know, got to rain the rookie in a little bit. You know, teach him a few things. Training camp’s coming soon enough. Yeah, it’s training camp will be here pretty soon. And I think you all know why I’m hitting at training camp. And yeah, it’ll get here soon enough, Yax. Enjoy all your media.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

Anthony Edwards on Wemby getting ejected 💀 “That n***a is like 8’5 when he spread out. The rim ain’t nothing but 10 feet! You got to put that b*tch so high above the rim. He’s like a statue. It’s so hard to beat them when he’s on the floor just because of his defense. I was so happy that n***a got kicked out. I hope they suspend him. Imma email the ass right now!” (Via

Rich Paul believes LeBron James beating the Rockets last year without Luka is what led him not to retire 😳 “That series in my opinion, convinced him to keep playing. I truly believe that. I think if they somehow got swept or lose 4-1 in that series, it could be different. I think that gave us another ride.” (Via Game Over)

Brian Windhorst on Charles Barkley comments saying LeBron James stacks every team he goes to: “Where does Charles and the legends want LeBron to go? Do they want him to go to the G League? Because if he went to Cleveland is that team stacked? Is Miami with Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo is that team stacked? Jokic and Jamal Murray is that team stacked? Ant Edwards, Rudy Gobert I don’t know he left Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves is that not? I don’t understand the premise of the complaint.”

Anthony Edwards explains why he dapped up the Spurs with 8 minutes left: “Yeah it’s 8 minutes but we not going back in the game. When you win a playoff series everybody is celebrating at the end of the game. They’ll be smiling while I’m pissed off. I was like ‘let me go ahead and congratulate these boys because I’m not going to be laughing with y’all after you whooped my ass.’ I didn’t want to go dal them n***** up at all. But then what would they have said About me? That’s why I’m me and y’all are whoever y’all are.” (Via

Charles Barkley says LeBron James always stacks his team after going to Philly: “The number one knock on LeBron for older guys like myself has always been, “Yo, man, you always stacking your team.” He stacked in Miami. He stacked in Cleveland. He stacked in LA. Now he’s stacking it in Philly. So that to me, I’m going to still have the same criticism I’ve always had.” (Via Stephen A Smith)

Draymond Green on people saying the Jaylen Brown trade was a even swap: “No disrespect to Paul George, but this isn’t an even swap. I got a lot of love for PG. but like myself, PG is 36 years old. Not like myself. I’m going into year 15. I think PG is going into year 17. And Jaylen Brown, not even 30 years old. He’s 29 years old and he’s going into year 11. So, and by the way, he won finals MVP two years ago. I think he just made All-NBA second team this year. Was arguably controversially possibly could have been a first team performer, but the votes are what they are. So it’s not an even swap. Like when you’re talking just player for player, it’s not.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

Jayson Tatum on Jaylen Brown getting traded: "To be transparent, it's weird.... You understand throughout the course of your career that the NBA is a business and people change teams... but it doesn't make it any easier. It's still a human element of it.. But it's also a side you have to welcome our new teammates"

Nick Wright on the debate if LeBron James tenure in LA was a success: “LeBron the record is 8 years with the Lakers, 7 trips to the playoffs. 2 seasons where they made a conference finals and 1 championship. And you’re going to have folks today earnestly genuinely try to argue that LeBron Lakers tenure was a failure. To which I would simply say or ask and don’t even add I’m not even asking you to add any age related qualifiers to it. Has Giannis 13 year Bucks career been a failure? Because in those 13 years, Giannis has 1 trip to the finals, 1 championship, and 1 trip to another conference finals and that’s the exact same thing as Bron in his 8 with the Lakers.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)
