The Wemby hype is getting to be a bit much.
It may turn out to be less than what is deserved. The term "generational" gets thrown around loosely but every 15-20 years or so we get "that guy"....and Wemby has all the tools, and as importantly the head, to be "that guy." I hope I can appreciate his talent as I did LeBron, MJ, and Larry/Magic. That would be a huge win for me personally as a fan who loves and appreciates greatness.

So Woj is doubling and tripling down that Miller is Charlotte's guy despite the massive market correction today indicating it is Scoot. He's been slipping lately and this is as big a moment for Woj as he will have moving forward. Legacy on the line right here.

The game within the game.

Am I remembering wrong or was Woj favoring Jabari Smith last year also?

Don’t recall if that was draft day or before.

Too Dukey, but huge props to ESPN for this group of 4 analyst team

so much better than the NBA Finals ESPN crew

Unbelievable shot by the cohost to Redick on ESPN. She came behind the desk to show a pull up jump shot and her explanation was a mess, then goes back to the desk and hammers Redick..”JJ you were just an average shooter, correct, because it’s hard?”. He immediately snaps off an “are you serious”. Tough feelings 30 seconds in.

Do Spurs have a plan to upgrade the dude in the cowboy hat now that they have Wemby? Seems like time.

Portland continues to make very weird roster building moves. Scoot was the right pick there to be sure, but they can’t roll out that backcourt

Someone on twitter made the point, it’s wild that Shams is being paid by Fanduel and also tweeting out rumors to move markets and increase bets.
I'm in NY where they don't allow betting on anything other than things that happen in actual games (so no voting on MVPs, draft picks, etc.), which is annoying, but...this is the reasoning behind that part of the law.
