Gilbert Arenas explains why he considers Carmelo Anthony a more complete scorer than Kevin Durant “A complete scorer? How you score? How many realms can you play in? If I cut something off, what can you go to?” “ISO, post-up, flares, down screen, backdoors, free throws, lays, middies —... when you’re talking about scoring and who’s efficient and who’s great at scoring, he had all those levels.” “We’re taking away his ISO? He can post up. Take away his post-up? He can just go off screens.” “If you really want to know what his package was, look at the Olympics when he had to just be efficient and quick and shoot, didn’t have to play with the ball.” “That’s what I look at when I look at who does what.” “Some guys are just good at this skill. You good at shooting threes and that’s your game, but if I take that away, make you backdoor, are you going to take the backdoor? Do you know how to be efficient in that?” “People say there’s three-level scoring. That’s amateur talk. That’s layup, mid-range, three.” “All right. How about post-up? How about ISO? How about just backdoor? How about flaring? How about coming off down screens?” “What is your game like in those realms? And he had all of them.”show more

LeBron James says Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s efficiency is Jordan-esque: “Every time you look at the efficiency you look at the box scores and you see Shai 38 it’s like 13 for 17 from the floor you know the other night I think he had 40 something I think it was like 15 for 19. That’s one of my favorite things about players like you know I mean that’s because how I am like I love efficient players. Like you know can go out can do the things on the floor be efficient you know not taking too many bad shots, I mean if you get on a heater you want to take a heat check or two I get it. We all have our nights where we don’t shoot you know to our capabilities, I mean that just comes with the game. But yeah, I think that’s one of the things I love about Shai is just like for him to play on the perimeter as much as he does, playing at mid-range as much as he does and still be as super efficient as he is. It’s Jordan-esque.” (Via Mind the Game)

Joe Johnson says if he’s the Houston Rockets I’m taking that gamble on Russel Westbrook teaming back up with Kevin Durant: “I’m taking that gamble because look, think about this. Even if Fred VanVleet, I’m sure he will start the season, but damn, he just come off of ACL surgery. Y’all going to run him in the ground for 82 game. And what he going to be able to get you in the postseason? Nothing. So, you got to have some depth at that point guard position. Guys who know how to play, guys who know and understand the game and who can make the game easy for guys around him. So, I always think, bro, and when you look at him because he up in age, he always in great damn shape. And for me, y’all know me, bro. I’m a guy who loves a guy in great shape. You’re in great shape. You can play with me any day.” (Via Nightcap)

Kobe Bryant cold-called Jony Ive, Oprah, and Nike's CEO to learn how they think: "I just cold-call people. Absolutely. I just cold-call people and pick their brain about stuff. Some of the questions I'll ask will seem really, really simple and stupid, quite honestly, for them. But if I don't know, I don't know. I have to ask. I want to learn more about how they build their business, how they run their companies, how they see the world." On who he calls: "We could start in the Nike family. I cold-call Mark Parker all the time. Johnny Ive. Dan Wieden. Oprah Winfrey. Arianna Huffington. Hillary Swank. It just goes on and on and on." Kobe explains why he called Jony Ive: "He's obviously unique in what he does. I want to know how does he view product? How does he view the process of designing product? How does he know when he has the product exactly where he wants it to be? How is he seeing the world differently than everybody else who's manufacturing hardware? There's something going on from the moment he sees something to when it goes into his brain, that's a different process than other designers. I'm curious to know what that is." Kobe visited Apple to learn: "I spent the day there, talking with Johnny, picking his brain about product. What makes them who they are? And why? Once you have the passion the thing that you're passionate about, now you can look at other people, other entities, works of art, and draw things from that to help you be better at what you do. By looking for those common denominators." Jony Ive asked Kobe the same questions in return: "Johnny wanted to know, how do I prepare? How do I study? How do I view the game? How do you build your game? My response is much like the way he builds products. You think sequentially. You look at the end result of what you want to create. But in order to create that, there are so many little things that go into this massive entity or device." Kobe continues: "It's no different than building my basketball game. You start with: where do you want your game to be? What would make your game most unstoppable or hard to deal with? Now you work backwards from there. You start building it one piece at a time. One move at a time. One counter at a time. There's a lot of similarities." On building his company, Kobe Inc: "We're just cranking away every day, building out the internal structure. Communicating the culture internally. Where are we going? Building out that model, that plan. We also don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. I have this vision of where I'd like us to go, but it's important for us to go one step at a time." On what he'd tell other athletes about marketing: "For me, doing that, it seems like I should really just do it for free. Because what I'm going to tell them is: be yourself. That's it. Be you. There's no gimmick. You don't have to contrive anything. Who are you? Where are you today? What is your story? Where does that come from? Then all you're doing is communicating that story to the public." Kobe reflects on LeBron going back to Cleveland: "It depends how you shape the story. You stay in Miami, there's a great story you can mold around that. You go to Cleveland, there's a way you can mold that too. It really just depends on what his personal truth is. I think he communicated his truth extremely well, and that's what you have to stick to."

"If you look at both #1 seeds, he was critical in building both of those. You look at OKC and DET right now, his print is on all of that... If you see how those guys play, its what I have been talking about, and that's why Troy was my first hire" -- Joe Dumars on Troy Weaver

Mikel Arteta’s beautiful praise to his staff and players. “That's when you have a difficult period. I think the best thing that you can do instead of talk a lot is observe. Look around you and see how people react. How they talk, how they look at you, how they judge you, what they do. Do they look at themselves, do they start to criticise other people? “Look around and you're going to learn the environment and the people that you have around you. “I cannot be prouder to work in a club with people that the only thing they could do is ask, what else can I do to help? “When you have people like this, I don't know if it's gonna take another week or two, but something good it will happen at the end because we deserve it.”

Gilbert Arenas says if you stop trying to compare LeBron to Jordan, to discredit him and just look at him for himself you can see how great he’s been: “You can see how great he’s been for 21 years. Nobody in NBA history can say they’ve been that great that long. Like, I’m sorry. Some can say I was great every year I played. Yeah. 21 straight. No. So, when people talk about glazing, I say yes, you glaze. Glaze Jordan, glaze Kobe, glaze LeBron, glaze Shaq, Duncan, you know, Bill Russel. If you’re in the top 20 of all time, you should be extra glizzy glazed. Like what are we sitting here talking about?” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Chris Bosh explains how Kobe Bryant taught him that greatness is mostly an unglamorous routine “If you’re trying to go after something, it’s a process and you cannot cheat it. That is one thing you cannot do. You can’t cheat the process, and even then that doesn’t guarantee you anything. You have to have your stuff together because you want to win, that doesn’t guarantee a win. You just have to make sure you’re doing your process.” “I had the chance to have a conversation with Kobe. We were friendly and we tried to have dinner once a year. He always talked about loving the process of what you do. That’s important. You have to love what you do and love putting the work in because some days are going to suck. It’s always going to suck to go in the gym and shoot 10,000 free throws.” “Everybody’s like, ‘Oh, Kobe, this is amazing.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, that’s cool, but think about my day. I get up at 4:30am, take my kids to school, I lift weights, I go to practice, I pick them up from school, then I’ve got to do treatment because I’m 35 years old in the league. Then I’ve got to do treatment, and by the time I finish all that stuff, the day’s over. I don’t do anything else. This is all I do.’” “If you take on that approach to something that you love, if you can stick with it even in those tough days, that’s where you want to be.” “You gotta love the grind, man. That’s the part I always like to think of anytime something gets hard. If I’m pursuing a goal and I want to quit, it’s going to come. It’s going to come. It’s okay.” “How many people would quit right now? That’s the first thing I think about. Then I keep going. I’m like, okay, I’m not going to let this drop me off and keep me away from what I’m doing.”

Iman Shumpert says Steph Curry changed how every NBA team plays, but James Harden changed how players build their individual offensive game. “People tried arguing with me on Twitter, saying I claimed James changed the game more than Steph. That’s not what I said. They belong in the same conversation.” “Steph made the three-pointer a necessity. If your team can’t shoot threes today, you’re not surviving in this league.” “Before Steph and Klay, the three was something you used when you needed to catch up. They turned it into a weapon.” “I remember in the Finals, my teammates were getting on me for passing up open threes. I kept thinking, ‘I’ve never played like this.’ Then you realize you have to because they’re counting by threes.” “You’d see a missed shot and your first thought wasn’t where the rebound was going. It was, ‘Where’s Steph?’ Because if he got it, you knew what was coming.” “Steph changed the game because he made everyone add the three-point shot to their game.” “James Harden changed something different. He made his style of play become people’s package.” “There’s a difference between being good at basketball and having game. The great ones have a complete package they can go to at the end of a game.” “That’s what Kobe had. You knew he was going to get to his spots. You just didn’t know how.”

Points aren’t the separator… Players are so consumed with how many points they average, and OBVIOUSLY points set the level… you need to be able to score it. But when you dive in to separating players that score the ball at the same rate… it’s about HOW they go about it. How are they impacting the game beyond the scoring? How are they getting their shots, and how many shots are they taking? If players focus on the how, their game becomes more well rounded and efficient 👍👍

Arnold Schwarzenegger really wanted to play the hero in the first Terminator movie. He thought O.J. Simpson was going to be Terminator. Then he made the mistake of explaining to director James Cameron exactly how OJ had to play the part. Cameron was amazed and asked Arnold on the spot: “Why don’t you play Terminator?!” HOWARD STERN: “You wanted to be Kyle Reese.” ARNOLD: “That’s right.” STERN: “And the director said to you, ‘Hey, man, are you crazy? The movie’s about the Terminator.’ How did you beat out those guys?” ARNOLD: “I think what happened was it was a total coincidence because I didn’t even try out for Terminator. I was trying to be Kyle Reese. “And during the lunch when I met with James Cameron, the director... I kept talking all the time about the Terminator. I said to Cameron, ‘It doesn’t matter. I know you guys have already probably hired O.J. Simpson. But whoever is playing it, I just want you to be clear. He has to train himself to dissemble weapons and to put weapons together and to shoot and to load the weapons and all of this stuff blindfolded, totally blindfolded.’” “‘Because a Terminator can never, ever look down at his hand, what he’s doing, because he’s a machine. He’s a robot. When he walks, he has to have a certain walk, meaning he scans and looks around. He has to have a certain scan. It has to be absolutely clear at all times that this is a machine with absolutely no human behavior.’” “But this went on like this for an hour, what I just did.” STERN: “You didn’t even know you were excited.” ARNOLD: “No, no, because I saw the Yul Brynner character in Westworld where he played the machine. And so I was so, you know, kind of amazed at his performance. And he was an extraordinary actor.” STERN: “Fabulous.” ARNOLD: "So I kept talking about this and talking about how he has to walk, how he has to get up and how he has to tear his flesh out and how he has to operate on his eye. And, you know, no pain and no feelings.” “And James Cameron looked at me at the end of the lunch, and he said, ‘So why don’t you play Terminator? I mean, you understand him so well, this character. This is exactly what we need.’ And I said, ‘No, no, no, Jim, please. I counted the amount of lines. This guy says it’s 27 lines. In Conan, I had 128 lines. So I’m not gonna go backwards. You can give it to someone else. But I want to talk a lot. I want to perform. I want to be the leading man.’ “He says, ‘I will make that guy the leading man. It’s called the Terminator. I will shoot it from below up. You will look heroic. And don’t worry about killing all those people, because you’re a machine. No one is going to blame Arnold. You’re a machine. You’re acting as a machine.’”

Gilbert Arenas on what makes Dwyane Wade a winner: “I don’t care how many flaws you walked into the league with. How many did you turn into strengths? I knew how good D Wade was, just off raw athleticism. But when I seen flash was more than just ‘flash’, is when every summer he came back with something different. He added to the game. You had your driving, then you had the bank shot. Then you had the pump fake with the bank shot. You kept adding to the game itself. That is what a winner does, man” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it.

Ben Askren shares what he hopes people can take away from his unbelievable journey back: "At the end of the day, if you're going to live any kind of meaningful life, you're going to go through hard things. A lot of how successful you are in life comes down to how you deal with those obstacles. Whether you believe in God or not, struggle makes you better. Trials and tribulations build you up. Hopefully, people can take something from that. Instead of whining or crying when something difficult comes your way, ask yourself, 'How do I deal with this, and how do I allow it to make me a better person?'"

This is how you do a promo for a “catastrophic” event #GH I don’t know what the hell I just saw on your Twitter account, but that shit didn’t look good at all and I hope that’s not what we have to look forward to.

Abdul Carter is asked about hearing teammates say that he needs to grow up: "I take it. The guys who say that are guys I look up to, guys I respect. If they say something like that, I've got to look at myself and say, 'how can I get better?'"

Stephen A. Smith says watching Chris Cuomo admit Anthony Fauci “looked like he had something to hide” told him everything he needed to know. Cuomo immediately tried to walk it back, but Smith reminded him that Fauci wasn’t just some random public official pleading the Fifth: “He was the FACE of science! We TRUSTED him!” SMITH: “And I heard you say something I never heard you say before, last night, watching you…” “Chris Cuomo said, ‘Dr. Fauci did look like he has something to hide.’ You never said that before.” CUOMO: “You plead the Fifth?” “Anybody who pleads the Fifth seems like they’re trying to hide something.” SMITH: “Yeah, yeah. That’s fair. But what I’m saying is considering your profound respect for this man, your knowledge of his record, his resume, his history.” “I know how deep it hit you for that to come from YOU!” “And what I’m saying is even though you say that about anybody pleading the Fifth, go watch yourself talking about somebody pleading the Fifth, and then re-air how you looked last night when you said that about Fauci.” “He’s different!” “And it’s emblematic of what I said about him just now in terms of how Americans looked at him a few years ago.” “He was the gospel. He was the FACE of science. We TRUSTED him!” “That is not who we want to see pleading the Fifth, not him!” “And by the way, Chris, if he stood up and said…look man, I thought this, I made a mistake, it’s not an exact science. I messed up…” “What could we say? We could criticize him, but that’s about it. We can’t do anything else. What could we say?” “But that’s not what happened.”

Hue Jackson says he didn't fail in Cleveland “These are big shoulders. I’ve been through the war. I know what this is like. I failed at Cleveland according to what people said. No… I didn’t fail at Cleveland. Are you kidding me?” “Go back and look at the team. Go back and look and ask me who had the decisions and put them on the field.” “How was I coaching them in Cincinnati, but yet all of a sudden in Cleveland I don’t know what it takes to win? It don’t work that way. I didn’t all of a sudden fall off the turnip truck and forget football in a freaking year. I know what it takes to win.” “The media… once you start that fire, it takes off and runs. That’s the narrative that everybody can create when they want to.”
