Coach Malone reflecting on that final stop against LeBron and the Lakers, said he thinks he speaks for a lot of people when he says the buzzer went off, there was no whistle, and they looked around thinking:
“Holy shit we won.” – 3:16 PM

Friday’s @lockedonlakers podcast! LeBron says he’s still better than 90-95 percent of the NBA. Is that true? And what does it actually mean, in terms of him as the focal point of a championship team with the Lakers? @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

NBA regular season TV viewership over the past three decades 🏀📺👀
Biggest bumps were MJ’s “I’m back” and LeBron’s “take my talents to South Beach”
Biggest dips were post-MJ aughts and COVID pic.twitter.com/JNsVMtA688 – 9:00 AM

I’ll keep it simple. As far as Crazy LeBron trades.
Bronny is in his first year at USC. Bryce will be playing varsity for Sierra Canyon. LeBron is not going to want to miss that. Conversation over. – 5:50 PM

Caleb Martin being better than Michael Jordan this week helps, but the secret sauce has been Miami’s ability to get cross matches for its guards and then attack them quickly so Boston has to make help reads faster than it can handle. Also so many uncontested MIA fast breaks. – 9:44 PM

LeBron James will undergo further evaluations, but a surgery that could sideline him for two months during the offseason is among the possibilities, sources indicated. If surgery is required, James would be expected to recover by the start of training camp next season. -via The Athletic / May 26, 2023

What makes Curry’s heroics in this series even more impressive is the fact that he surpassed no less than seven Hall-of-Famers to climb to the 13th place for the most playoff points in NBA history. Before the Kings series, Steph was 21st. However, after scoring a whopping 236 points in seven games, the Warriors superstar climbed eight spots in the all-time record books with 3,806 career playoff points. In the process, he surpassed Wilt Chamberlain (3,607), Elgin Baylor (3,623), Scottie Pippen (3,642), Dirk Nowitzki (3,663), Magic Johnson (3,701), Hakeem Olajuwon (3,755), and John Havlicek (3,806), per McShpoochen on Reddit. -via Clutch Points / May 1, 2023
ESPN Stats & Info: The Celtics are now 23-1 (.957) when Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both score 30 points, including the playoffs. That’s the best win percentage by a duo all-time (min 20 games), ahead of Michael Jordan & Scottie Pippen (18-2, .900). -via Twitter / April 27, 2023
Steph Curry is the greatest 3-point shooter in NBA history, but to some, he’s much more than that. Denver Nuggets star guard Jamal Murray was asked who his top-five all-time players are, and Curry made the cut alongside several other NBA greats. -via NBC Sports / May 25, 2023
Michal Jordan, Shaquille O’Neal and the late Kobe Bryant were the three retired basketball legends on Murray’s elite list. Meanwhile, Curry and Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James are the other two players on the list that are still in the league. -via NBC Sports / May 25, 2023
