    What about Steve Nash? He was a late bloomer.

    Oooo, nice try but...

    Not a Center: - 5 points
    White: + 10 points
    Not America Born: - 1000 points

    Nash is African born. Ironic, no?

    Haha.

    I'm more optimistic about that happening than any of the past few big names being mentioned (whiteside, PG, Melo). I think it's destiny for these two to play together, and I think it will be in PDX. The dominoes seem in place - Draft class, building rapport, Tiny Tim being in NOLA, this tweet...

    Anthony Davis first selected Kyrie Irving, but Irving blocked him on Twitter when he did.

    Yeah, I have to admit that when I went searching for data, I expected to find a majority of centers took several years to contribute. I was wrong. >80% of them contribute either right away or at least by 22. Only a few examples of late bloomers. And only one or two of those was really good.

    She tells her students — like Nick Gurol, whose middle-schoolers believe the Earth is flat — that, as hard as they try, science teachers aren't likely to change a student's misconceptions just by correcting them.

    Gurol says his students got the idea of a flat planet from basketball star Kyrie Irving, who said as much on a podcast.

    "And immediately I start to panic. How have I failed these kids so badly they think the Earth is flat just because a basketball player says it?" He says he tried reasoning with the students and showed them a video. Nothing worked.

    "They think that I'm part of this larger conspiracy of being a round-Earther. That's definitely hard for me because it feels like science isn't real to them."

    Pretty good re-signing for them. He made an effective injection of athleticism and energy off the bench for them.

    Yeah...used right, he's a nice low-minutes weapon. Kerr definitely has a knack for putting players in position to succeed.

    And now we have a Nick Young/JaVale McGee show reunion!

    Punches like a bitch. That's why he got hurt. He side swiped him, which means his thumb probably took the majority of the hit......SNAP!
