Speaking of the trade deadline I wish there was a way the Celtics could get Andre Drummond.

You can.

But, it would cost you Gordon H.

Sad that Buddy Hield not changing his number

 

[bksballer89]

What the fuck happened to Reggie Jackson? Talk about a horrible waste of money

Hopefully this teach reporters something for the future.

Getting it right is more important than being first.

ABC News suspends journalist who falsely reported all 4 of Kobe’s daughters were in helicopter crash

What a pussy

What a pussy

Wtf is wrong with that bitch?

Cut his disgusting hair off. But, still acting like a clown.

Crowder looks like he would kill your whole family for stepping on his shoes.

How he catch a beating.

Meanwhile in New York...

 

[trojanfan12]

Lots of others do it too and want to remain anonymous.

Kobe might not have been one of them.

Apparently, he was.

The TNT special was fantastic. Rough, but cathartic.

Also, be sure to read this story

Russ is playing on another level. He finally realizing he doesn't need to shoot 3's. Shooting % is up and 3 pt attempts are down. Unfortunately, Harden been really bad lately.

Russ entered the game avg 32,8, & 8 on 52% shooting this month. Starting with their game against the lakers, he only attempted four 3's in his last 6 games. This may be one of the best months of his career when it comes to efficiency

Portland can be a scary 8th seed if they get in assuming they get healthy.

A 8 man playoffs rotation of the following sounds like a solid team.

Dame
CJ
Ariza
Melo
Whiteside
Collins
Nurk
Simons
Little or Trent Jr (if they want to extend the rotation to 9)

 

[bksballer89]

Sounds like Collins is a little more than a month away from returning.

9 days ago Collins (shoulder) said last week that he remains optimistic he'll be cleared to play shortly after being re-evaluated in early March, Jamie Goldberg of The Oregonian reports. "There's always going to be that feeling, that competitive itch, you always want to play," Collins said. "Not being able to play sucks, but I'm just trying to make the most of it. Hopefully, I get back out there soon."

Suspension is warranted but oddly enough, I can kind of see how one could have gotten it wrong initially. They probably heard Kobe, his daughter, and another family were killed in the crash and that got misconstrued into Kobe and his family were killed. But that's exactly why they need to slow down and verify. I'm just saying I can see how they fucked that up.

The people that reported Rick Fox though? They just need to be straight up fired. That appeared to be nothing but a wild rumor and some sources actually ran with it which put that man's family and friends thru hell.

Shaq said Kobe was texting with Shareef the day before.

I think they were very civil, if not friends.

The crux that I took away from what Shaq meant was they hadn't talked IN PERSON in 4 years, not that they never talked. He mentioned they had texted and that he texted Shareef the day before like you said. That's actually entirely believable. I've got friends that I haven't spoken to in person for years. Everything is thru social media or texts. But it goes back to Shaq's larger point; that HE was too busy. It wasn't that they weren't actually friends. They had much love for each other and communicated in different ways. But Shaq himself devoted himself too much to work to actually make time to spend with Kobe in person and he is deeply regretful now.

Its why he told EJ, Kenny, and Charles that he needed to talk with them more than he does and apologized. You could pick up from his statements that he cares for that crew and sees them as friends, but he only ever talks to them "on the job". Once the camera stops rolling, he's off doing his other businesses. Kobe's death, and the lack of time he spent with him, has made him realize he needs to put more effort into spending more time with the people he cares about.

Shaq's segment was an incredibly raw and incredibly human moment. He basically revealed the entirety of himself on live TV. He spoke about how he truly feels about all those involved and his own flaws in those relationships.

You can talk about whatever you want, this is a public forum.

But, you'd probably get a lackluster response.

I'm hoping this changes by Sunday, but, right now, I don't even give a shit about the Superbowl.

I wasn't a fan of Kobe the player, for obvious Clipper-related reasons.

I'm sad for him, his family and the families of the other folks that lost their lives.

It took me a minute to realize why this event has me so shook.

It's not because I was a Kobe-stan, a Laker fanatic..

But, because I am a parent , with a daughter the same age as Gigi, that has been reminded of my mortality.

If it happened to him, it can happen to anyone.

Life Insurance is a great thing but most people do not have enough

Just saw the response from Shaq.....damn.

This would shake any parent.

All im going to say if you're friends with someone then you don't know nearly 4 years without talking to them especially when you're in the same city frequently enough. Had he said he didn't see kobe since his last game in 2016 then i would say they were friends

You're being kinda judgy here. He clearly had real emotion there, you saying Shaq is faking?
