Mecca...

Black Panther was

Mrs. CL slept through a good chunk of it, though. So I guess we'll just have to see it again...

Hey now! When is Lonzo returning to your Lakers? Since his injury Papa Ball has been way too quiet. What's up w/ dat?

Supposed to be next game. Guess we'll see, though...

If he doesn't leave then he will be stupid. You don't stay in college when you're a lock to be a lottery pick and possibly miss out on millions

Exactly. Fair or not, when pro scouts in pretty much any sport think a guy is good enough to come out of college early and he doesn't...it always costs him money.

They then spend the entire year picking his game apart and questioning why he didn't come out and that always causes their draft stock to drop.

Yeah, I was thinking that they were being a little too cautious with that sprained MCL, but then I was watching USC's last game and they were talking about Bennie Boatwright having sprained his MCL awhile back and that it can be a 6-8 week recovery. So maybe they weren't being too cautious after all?

One day Papa Ball will rule Los Angeles.

Maybe Papa Ball told Lonzo not to return until the organization promises to draft his 2 younger brothers?

My inside sources sayz Kyrie will skip A.S. weekend & spend it @ the Flat Earth Museum instead.

These things are a lot more in the heads of the fans, the players get over stuff pretty easily. Why wouldn't they, they're all gazillionaires playing a game for a living.

I think Kyrie had Steph and one other Warrior at his wedding like 2 years ago, right after beating the Ws in the Finals.

Well there was never no rumor beef between Kyrie and Steph so it's not close to being the same....nor did they play on the same team for 8 years

If I remember correctly, Durant and Russ had heated exchanges during the games 2 or 3X since KD left OKC. The last meeting was the first time they actually had a pleasant on court exchange since the break up.

Also, last year during AS weekend they never spoke to each other so yeah this was real....not just something in the heads of fans.

Fair enough but I stick by my point. If you hadn't reported this, most fans would think those two still hated each other.

How do you know? They could have calmly been exchanging vicious insults and only providing fake smiles for the camera. We need the audio! Until then, THE BEEF IS STILL ON!

Most likely they were discussing the shape of the earth.

Saw Black Panther 2 more times.

Now that my euphoria has worn off, I drop it to a reasonable #5 overall.

Still a really awesome movie.

But, not better than Winter Soldier...

Probably not Civil War either.

However, Not ready to drop it out of the top 5 yet...lol

 

[The Derski]

Shaq and Chuck both picking Markkanen to win the skills challenge. He’ll probably be out in the first round now.

I'm watching it tomorrow morning. No spoilers.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Young will be a top 5 pick

No.

His stock has been dropping and this draft is loaded with talented players.
