Kyrie Irving told me he’s *IN* for a 1-on-1 tourney at All-Star weekend; he said the key to getting players to participate is to change the way we talk about it:

LeBron’s face at the end here 😎

LeBron wearing one of the Luka shirts fans will receive tonight for No. 77’s #Lakers debut. Sooo…What kind of numbers do we think Luka is putting up versus the Jazz?
February 11, 2025 at 1:28 AM
Was there the night MJ did it; here tonight. How time flies…

While the rest of the NBA world moves on to other trades, the Mavericks’ fan base is still angry - VERY angry - over the Luka deal. How much damage did the Mavs do to their relationship with their #MFFL fans?

LeBron on the trade: "First time I heard it, I thought it was for sure fake, thought it was a hoax, people messing around or whatever. But then when AD Facetimed me, I talked to him for quite a while, and even when I got off the phone with him, it still didn't seem real."

Luka Doncic’s goodbye to #Mavs fans: “I thought I’d spend my career here and I wanted so badly to bring you a championship.”

Even if you WERE gonna trade Luka, why not let other teams know and have a bidding war for him?

Chris Mannix and I break down allll the repercussions of this Luka-AD trade in an emergency edition of Sports Illustrated’s Open Floor, get it on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Here's why the federal investigation into gambling activity centering around the Heat's Terry Rozier is going to be very different than the NBA's own investigation - and how damaging it could be to the league if a connection to Rozier is found:

Jaylen Brown tells Open Run that the uneven patch the #Celtics have been experiencing lately is all part of defending a title, and getting every team‘s best for each game.

Sure.

JJ Redick on Charles Barkley calling him “a dead man walking”: “I didn’t make it all the way through the clip, to be honest with you…I literally don’t care - I have other thoughts but I don’t care.” Lakers play the Hawks tonight (but not on TNT 😎)

At 11th in the West, the Suns are a great example of why blaming the head coach is often not a real fix - and in fact may end up exposing even bigger issues. @sichrismannix.bsky.social & I discuss on Sports Illustrated’s latest Open Floor pod: If you were running things in Phoenix what would you do?

Bridging hemispheres at the Equator line - turns out you really can be in two places at once 😎🌎

Such a great moment -Tiger Woods’ son Charlie hits his first-ever hole-in-one while playing with his dad - and with his sister Sam caddying for him. And on a Sunday (of course!)

Damian Lillard explains on Open Run just what it would mean for the Bucks - and for himself - to beat the Thunder in tonight’s NBA Cup final.

Coach Pop statement on his recovery from a minor stroke - he thanks the fans for their outpouring of support, as well as those helping in his recovery. “They’ve quickly learned that I’m less than coachable.”

On Open Run, SGA reacts to criticism that OKC is not the kind of “marquee” team the league was hoping for at the NBA Cup. Shai: “when we get to the top of the mountaintop, they’ll have no choice but to listen and pay attention.”
December 16, 2024 at 7:20 PM
NBA Legend Oscar Robertson told us on Open Run that the on-court flow between Dame and Giannis is “not where it should be, but it’s getting much better.” Great stuff from the Big O on comparing the #Bucks Star duo to him and Kareem.

Caught up with Shai after the #Thunder advanced to the NBA’s Cup Finals - where does he sit in your MVP rankings right now? (That fur alone is worth a couple slots.)

Should the #Nuggets take a gamble on Jimmy Butler? On the Sports Illustrated Open Floor pod, Chris Mannix makes his case for the Nuggets to swap Butler & Michael Porter Jr, but I’m worried about giving MPJ up for a rental. (Still, I do agree the Nuggets *should* be trying to win now with Jokic)

And so it begins…
Is Belichick actually going to be successful at UNC?

Hello, Las Vegas.
The Hawks knock off the Knicks, will face the Bucks in the NBA Cup semis.
December 12, 2024 at 2:34 AM
Sooo - now that this has happened… How do we think this is gonna work out?
