I don’t debate NBA hoops with folks who haven’t seen prime Kareem/Ewing/Akeem/Bill Walton before surgeries

Or if you haven’t seen Bob McAdoo go for 50.

Or if you never saw Pistol Pete.

Or if you don’t know what a “Hawk” “Shuffle”cut is

Or if you never hooped against a dude with an ankle monitor❤️

Do you know the ABCs of Black History?
“M”

Mathew Henson was a Black explorer who accompanied Admiral Robert E. Peary on the 1st successful expedition to the North Pole in 1909.
Henson was actually the 1st to reach the North Pole & waited hours for Peary to catch up & join him

De’Aaron Fox tells me he’s thrilled to be playing on Christmas Day.
He remembers getting a KG jersey for Christmas as a youngster.

I’ve been covering the NBA nationally for 35 years at ESPN

This is year 6 as TV Voice of the Sacramento Kings.

I’ve never seen a home crowd with as many unwavering zealots who love on their team like Sacramento Kings fans.

The Kings are 15 games under .500 and it felt like a playoff game 7👏🏽👏🏽❤️🏀

Pacers sign James Wiseman to a 10 day.

I’d definitely kick the tires 🛞 on him.

Size. Skill. Low mileage. Still only 24 years old. I put eyes on him recently.

Fitzgerald and Fletcher

2 Miami kids. One a freshman. One a senior.

I love my MVP candidates to be able to have an impact at both ends of the court.
After Edwards hits a dagger 3,he blocks SGA, then peels SGA on the next possession.
Does your MVP candidate have multiple defining defensive plays on his reel ?👌🏽💪🏽.
Anthony Edwards made some big plays on defense to end this one.
December 20, 2025 at 5:25 AM
MVP things.
LOOK AT ANTHONY EDWARDS
December 20, 2025 at 5:22 AM
OKC is so dictatorial defensively !

The minute Edwards tries to walk somebody down into the post they tilt the floor.
Bringing an extra defender to the low block from the weak side.
December 20, 2025 at 4:31 AM
Minnesota with 9 missed ft’s in the half.

Gotta finish your breakfast.

OKC up 51-48

Happy to see Bones Hyland getting an opportunity, part of the rotation in Minnesota.
Bones is a better passer and playmaker than the scouting report states.
Timberwolves are finding that out.
I watched Bones all summer work out at Stan Remy’s gym in Miami and tear up the Miami Pro League on Fridays

Chris Finch got ran from the game.

He was Cheryl Reeve angry 😡
December 20, 2025 at 2:56 AM
That was a bum ass call 💯

The Basketball Gods can be cruel and unforgiving.

I’m going to count to 10…

That was not a foul.

The L2M report will say the same.

And I’ll think..that’s great..the surgery was a success..but the patient died.

Kings deserved better tonight.

Goodnight Sacramento ❤️🏀🙏🏽

Got a severe case of Double Murray Vision tonight.

We twinnin’ tonight.

Sacramento vs Portland 10pm et. I’m on the mic with Kayte Christensen 🎤on NBCSports California.🔥

Christmas Day I’ll be in OKC with Jay Bilas and Kayte George calling the San Antonio vs OKC game at 2:30pm et. That run got TURNT over the last few days.🔥🔥🔥
