    You know. I think Neil and dame took speech therapy from Aldridge. Haha.

    My favorite part was at the end when Aldridge complained about more media, dude cracks me up.

    I'm wondering if maybe Dame's mini-slump is a result of sweating the All-Star game. You can tell he was nervous about it. His poor play started as soon as predictions about who would make it started coming out.

    Would be awesome if he got 20+ in the all star game and a monster dunk or 2.

    I thought it was funny to see Neil Olshey use "you know" repeatedly after LaMarcus spoke....almost tongue and cheek! Damian seems really excited about this award

    It was good to see Dame show some personality. There's times where he seems so nonchalant. That was good to see.

    I really wish I could hear the questions at press conferences. Half the time I don't know what the answer means because I don't know what the question was. Makes watching them, generally, a waste of time. This one still had some good content, but sometimes press conferences are a big nothing.

    Me too! If they're going to televise them, they need a moderator to repeat the questions, or closed captioning to show them or something.

    Neil just loves these press conferences. Immediately diverted the attention off himself. Don't know how much he likes the media. lol

    He should have just opened with a rant about how LaMarcus is NOT going to be traded, then singled out Ben Golliver.

    LA's transitional phrase: "You know."
