Charles Barkley DOUBLES DOWN on him saying Lebron is a Team Stacker and DESTROYS Dan Patrick for saying Lebron built a team in LA 🔥🔥
"He always stacks his teams, he didn't build a team, he manufactured it, his agents forced them to trade for Anthony Davis who was ran by his group,Klutch specifically said he had to go to the Lakers. Anthony Davis specifically said because of Klutch i will only go to the Lakers, so you think thats naturally organic? No thats stacking your team"

Paul Pierce on the comments saying Jaylen Brown analytics wise he’s the 7th best player on the Celtics:
“I mean this is getting ridiculous. It’s gotten to the point where I’m no longer going to start watching any of the networks about sports. Like seriously this is just come on. I just feel like it’s clickbait. It doesn’t make sense. Like don’t even make that public. If an analytic dude said that and he told you, why would you make that public? Because it sounds silly. Jaylen Brown was a MVP candidate. Now you’re saying, uh, does he do the things that Luka and Wemby? Well, okay. Yeah, the stats on these guys going to look a little different, but there’s one thing you can’t say about Jaylen Brown he influences winning.”

Jason Willams says he would take Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum over Giannis and Tatum together:
“In today’s game bro, if you can’t shoot threes, bro. It’s so hard to be successful. I mean I’m not taking nothing away from the Greek Freak. That motherfu*ker is cold-blooded. Now, don’t get it twisted, but I just think for the way Boston plays and way Mazzello coaches and sh*t I don’t see, I don’t know how that would work when if Mazzello gets all up in Giannis sh*t one game or something for not getting back. I don’t know how that would work. Where Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, we’ve already seen what happens and we know what’s cracking.”

Knicks fans screaming about the league not retroactively upgrading Victor Wembanyama’s foul should actually be counting their blessings tonight.
Why? Because while they were focused on Wemby, I'm told the NBA league office was reviewing this entire bench clearing sequence and specifically the actions of Jose Alvarado who previously served a major three-game suspension for having been involved in a nearly identical bench-clearing incident in 2024 against the Miami Heat.
When the scuffle kicks off under the basket, several Knicks players leave the bench area in violation of the rules and Alvarado gets right in the middle of the scrum.
He is seen pushing, heavily engaged with both Luke Kornet and De'Aaron Fox, waving his finger and escalating the tension getting face to face with Fox.
Under the NBA’s strict bench-clearing rules, he is undeniably not acting as a "peacekeeper."
The Knicks players left the bench before San Antonio called timeout.
If the league had decided to apply the letter of the black and white law regarding bench conduct and physical escalation, as they have multiple times this season, New York could easily be down a crucial backcourt piece or 4 for Game 4.
Take the Wembanyama non-upgrade as a wash and be thankful, because the Knicks dodged a massive suspension bullet here. 🧵

This is one of the most vivid examples of what drives a lot of basketball fans crazy these days. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander obviously isn't the only one who does this, but players trying to get fouled instead of trying to score makes for an awful viewing experience. Sure, it's the smarter analytical play. Free throws are very efficient. But 20 years ago (and maybe even more recently than that), players used pump fakes to then take an open shot. Now, the free throws are prioritized by so many stars.

This our culture. Clownish behavior. We love the shame each other in front of others. Why is this news? Why does the public need to know this. This is our people and what we put out to the universe. Shameful and embarrassing

If Stephen A. Smith and Kendrick Perkins are both upset with you... you're probably doing something right

Kendrick Perkins shares text messages from former Celtics players on Jaylen Brown and claims they don’t ‘rock’ with Jaylen Brown after his recent comments:
“I get another text that says ‘hey, JB trippin.’ Another text from a former Celtics player that said ‘JB, lack of accountability.’— JB guess what? It’s a lot of people in the organization, a lot of former players, legends, that don’t agree with you bro! — This instance, I can’t rock with you JB. Guess what? There’s a lot of former Celtic players that’s not rocking with you either.”

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.
Devin Booker WENT OFF in his postgame interview about the officiating in tonight’s game vs OKC:
"It's definitely something that has to be looked into. I heard Caruso tell them to call the tech and he ended up doing it. In my 11 years, I haven't called a ref out by name, but James [Williams] was terrible tonight, through and through. It's bad for the sport, bad for the integrity of the sport. People are going to start viewing this as the WWE if they're not held responsible."
"I know I haven't won a championship in this league but I have been in it for 11 years now, so to get to this point to be treated like that, for me to even be saying something out loud... It's bad.
"It's my first time in 11 years but it's needed. Whatever, I get fined for it, everybody can pull the clips and see where the frustration comes from."
