Paul Pierce says he don’t see Lakers winning one game vs OKC: “I don’t see the Lakers hanging with this group. They’re used to playing without Jalen Willams, you know what I’m saying? Then you’re asking LeBron again at 41. He’s going to log a lot of minutes and he’s going to be on the ball a lot more than when Luka is out there. It’s just going to be difficult… LeBron at 41 I don’t want Lu Dort draped all over me all game, holding me. Cason Wallace all these guys draped all over you. When I got older the guys started deny, you just like, don’t want to wast the energy to get open. You like, damn dog. Come on.” (Via No Fouls Given)

Luke Kuechly says he knew it was time to retire from the NFL because he was no longer 100% mentally committed to hitting players at full force “I used to just go smack dudes and have no issues. And I would go hit a guy and I’m like, ‘Yeah, that didn’t really feel great.’ And so then, once you make the decision in your mind, I’m not all the way in it… like the last game of the year, I was like, ‘I’m done. I’m done’” “I just remember after that game, I was like, ‘Yeah, you don’t got it anymore. You don’t have it.’ I would've been fine if I physically slowed down. Can’t run as well, not as fast, maybe I’m not as physical. Maybe I don’t have the same fire. I would have been fine with that and I would have probably milked it out a little bit more” “Once I knew it was my head, mentally, it’s either yes or no. If you slow down, physically, you can still play football hard, play it fast and play with great effort. But once I knew mentally, it’s not any of that, I couldn’t rationalize. I can’t play as hard as I want to. My effort’s not going to be there. I can’t be as physical. It’s not fair to the guys on the team, and it’s not fair to the coaches, and it’s not fair to the fans and myself and my family for me to go out there at mentally 75%’” “If I got to thump a guard and push a guy back to Shaq to make a play, and I’m like, ‘Eh,’ and I get widened, and then the tackle is really hard on Shaq. That’s not fair to Shaq. For me to know, especially mentally, the reason why I’m not stuffing that guy. I didn’t take him on, I didn’t hit him how I should've. I couldn’t do that”

Paul Pierce says LeBron James has made being the GOAT unattainable now: “Because like when you look at it, he put a wall in front of Jordan. You know what I’m saying? Because to like be the GOAT, that means you have to be better then LeBron. Nobody’s going to be better. Like, if Wemby won six championships, you going to be like, well, he’s not better than Bron because Bron statistically, it’s just so much better than everybody.

Paul Pierce says the NBA should change the three point line to a LED line that just comes and goes “Like you can turn it off, turn it back on in certain times of the game. Like, if you are down ten with three minutes in the 4th. It’s just ridiculous how I have watched games, it would be next three minutes of all threes. Like, 48 minutes a game the three point line should be on only like 30 minutes. Then we going to see who got game, then you going to have to get buckets now. You ain’t just going to be launching. You going to have to get money” (Via No Fouls Given)

Paul Pierce says Victor Wembanyama is the best player left in the playoffs, and it’s not even close: “It’s not even close, he’s going to impact the game no matter what. And there’s nobody in the playoffs like that right now. Like when you look at like these other guys who are just scoring guards, they score a bunch of points. If they don’t score a bunch of points, then what?

🎥 || Lewis Hamilton talking about not giving up and how he’s surprised he’s still standing, given what he’s gone through this year. “Resilience has been the thing that I’ve really managed to continue to work on, it’s something you have to work on. That never giving up mentality. Because the easiest thing is to give up and I’m only human. So there are days where I’m like, ‘I really don’t wanna go for the run’ or, you know, there are days where you sometimes just don’t have the power to pull through but you have to continue to dig deep.” “I think also just learning that when you’re going through something, it will pass. In the moment it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna ever pass because it feels like eternity” “Like this year for me… I’ve even surprised myself that I’m still standing, given what I’ve gone through. The people around me [say], ‘of course you’re still standing’ because they see me in a certain way.”

DeMarcus Cousins says he doesn’t like the way LeBron James was treated LA: “And you know we in this era now that you can’t really, you know speak on his behalf or it’s considered glazing or we paid by Klutch all this goofy sh*t but for the most part, you know, I grow up in the era of watching Bron like create the blueprint for the next guys coming up. So, I think he’s a legend in this game hands down. I just, I don’t know we kind of getting to a point where you know when it comes to our legends in the game, I don’t think they going out gracefully the way they should. I mean, from Melo to how CP was handled. We kind of watching how the Lakers just kind of act like Bron ain’t LeBron, like, you know what I mean? So, Kevin Durant, like, you know? So, I want him to go whenever he’s going to be appreciated and where he’s going to get the flowers he deserves.” (Via Road Trippin’ Show)

Draymond Green says Nikola Jokić is the most mentally tough player to guard in the NBA: “There is nothing that really gets under his skin. There’s nothing that bothers him. Him if he’s missing shots, he’s going to keep playing. You never see him. You know, Joker kind of run like this anyway. So, you know, his shoulders are always slump, but you don’t never see him like in a defeated slump. Like he’s just always going to keep going.” (Via The Draymond Green Show)

John Wall says NIL money is exposing who's really hungry and who's not “If you’re a star player and you know you’re going top five, cool. Get your money. But don’t let that change you.” “I’ve got my tournament, right? A kid comes in that plays for Overtime Elite. I’m thinking he’s the star player. He comes in with three chains on, ski mask on, walking into my gym.” “So I’m looking at him like, ‘Oh, he’s the guy.’ How many minutes did the man play in the game? Two. They were down 20 and he played the last two minutes.” “I’m like, ‘Your mindset is all backwards.’ You’re buying all these chains. You’re walking in with a ski mask. And you’re not going to go nowhere.” “If you get NIL, you’ve got to have a great foundation, parents or a great management team around you, so you know how to manage it. Because it’s already kind of preparing you for the NBA.” “These guys are getting $3 million, $4 million in high school. I look at it like this… If I’m getting $3 million in high school… I’ve got the best car on campus. I’m making the most money on campus. Am I waking up at 5 a.m. to work out the same way? I better.” “I don’t think a lot of these kids are. That’s where it’s like, ‘Oh, I got this early.’ Now what’s my purpose of getting to the league? Now you know if a kid really loves the game. Because I’m already getting what I really want… The money. The cars. The fame. So do you really love the game?”

Yaxel Lendeborg says all the talk about his age gives him extra motivation: “Honestly man, I liked hearing it because in a way, it’s giving me extra motivation. You guys are acting like I’m really 45 years old. I’m 23 years old. Most players get into their prime around this age and get better still, you know. This is going to be my first year in the NBA. This is going to be my first year having an actual off-season, summer training, all that stuff. I’m obviously going to grow and get better as a player and learn so much. I really don’t know what it is. If that’s my only weakness, then I must be a really, really good basketball player, you know? So I’m really interested to see how it all goes. And I’m excited to see all the players with the high ceilings and better aspects and goals and inspirations. I want to see how they do when we see each other in the NBA.” (via NBC Sports Bay Area & CA with Bonta Hill and Monte Poole)

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.”

Tracy McGrady predicts Wembanyama will sweep the awards next season and lead the Spurs to a Championship: “So if I look at the NBA right now.. I would put my money on the San Antonio Spurs presently constructed. Because of the disappointment I think that happened to them this year, because of Wemby’s performance in the Finals, I’m sure he’s not happy with the way he played, so that’s going to motivate him in the offseason to even kick it up another notch. I’m sure he’s going to come back bigger and stronger. I’m sure he’s hearing where he needs to operate for him to be the most effective for his team. So all this stuff is coming into play to build this creative player that’s going to come back stronger. He’s going to win Defensive Player of the Year. He’s gonna win MVP. He’s gonna win the in-season Tournament MVP. He’s going to sweep. So for me, I think because he’s going to be motivated and they had a big let down and disappointment this year, I’m going San Antonio Spurs to be right back in that position and to win a championship." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

I always stay up at night reminiscing about the good times my dad and I spent together. He was the sole reason I became a great footballer, especially because of his support and everything he did to keep me going. But right now, not being able to see him again hurts so deeply, and mentally, it’s been really tough for me to cope. I’ve been helping my mom, and she told me to go back to playing and help my team because that will help me mentally and get my mind off things. But I can’t lie, I will never be the same because of my dad’s passing.”

Tell me what championship teams player was the best player at 6’2? Just Steph. All time though. We have to go all time for these players. We have to go Isaiah. We have to go Steph. You know what I’m saying? Like Jalen Brunson is a great player I wouldn’t consider him an all time at 6’2. If your best player is 6’2, it’s going to be tough for you to win a championship.

And I know his name now. You got to earn your name in this league, I don’t care if you have a couple good games. Like, show me something. You know he mad the All-Star team out of Portland and I didn’t think Portland had anybody that’s All-Star worthy coming into the season. So, I’m taking notice to that.

Paul Pierce says even with the regular season sweep he is not confident in the Pistons to beat the Knicks in the playoffs “Because if they meet, they’re going to have to meet in the conference finals, right? Like them guys is young. Them lights are bright. Like we saw in the three point contest Kon Knueppel right. Them lights get brighter it’s like dang you forgot some things, like you leave some stuff at home. You know so I’m like damn when they go in that locker room right now in Detroit after every game they probably got like four or five reporters. When you get to the conference finals you going to have a thousand requests. You going to have media available. IT’S GONNA BE HELLA BRIGHT LIGHTS. YOU COULD GET OVERWHELMED AS A YOUNG DUDE. Then you come out and it’s GONNA BE SPIKE LEE. IT’S GONNA BE ALL THESE STARS RIGHT THERE. YOU CAN GET OVERWHELMED” (Via No Fouls Given)

Nikola Jovic on his lack of playing time 👀 “You feel like you’re good enough for the team to help then all the sudden you’re on the bench and feel like you’ll never see the floor again. It’s just the way the Heat is I guess. You have to be good every night for them to continue playing you. In minutes I have I got to be perfect to get consistent minutes and if I don’t I’m just going to be at the end of the bench I guess”
