2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

[tlance]

I remember Phil Jackson throwing shade on the Spurs first title in 1999 because it was a strike shortened season

He was just jealous his team didn’t win.

That is all that was.

And it is really lame, IMO.

yah that is a shame.

I am sure he received the best medical care possible but he was in bad shape.

So tough.

I wonder if Dan neever had other kids because he was worried the neurological disease was genetic...

when I am doing stuff around the house - cleaning, cooking ,etc. I like to listen to podcast.

this is an interesting one.

Lex Friedman interviewing an a KBG agent who was active in America- eventually "retired" , stayed in the US, was originally found out and collobrated with the FBI.

The Russians tried to recall him and he told them he got Aids so they no longer wanted him- so he stayed here with his wife and kids- and eventually another defector gave information that led the FBI to finding him.


pretty interesting.

I'm trying to figure out why a college coach that got fired would become a top candidate for an NBA gig after not doing anything of note since.

Natty

KD and other stars vouch for him

He outcoached

Martelli
Wright
Hoiberg
Izzo
Donovan
Cal


In succession in a single run


If he didn’t get divorced he’d likely still be at uconn


But that broke him


So basically just keep him single and you’ll be fine lol

He tore his acl

Then hurt himself again during rehab

It’s happened before

 

[Wamu]

Nick was Dan's only child?

FUCK.

Thought he had another but might be wrong about that.

Had to look some info up but it seems Dan Gilbert & his wife have four other kids. Can't really find anything on them, they must stay outta the public eye.

Just sad that Nick passed away. At least he got to see the Cavs win it all. RIP.
