    Agreed. Pretty cool to see him work on his offensive game with an established star still in the league. You don't see that often from a 58th pick.

    Jabari could get to a point where he's a pretty good offensive player in 5-6 years. Now, whether or not he sticks around in the NBA for that long is going to come down to the things we had thought he'd be good at--hustling, rebounding.

    First round often has blowouts. In any sport.

    What the Aces are doing is impressive especially when you know that Candace Parker is out.

    It will be the Aces vs Liberty in the Finals. I'll root for the Liberty because of Sabrina Ionescu. Even though she's a Duck...

    Before he signed a 10-day contract with the Hawks...

    Happened in January 2023.

    That story has been on my home page everytime I opened it today...the interesting thing is it shuts up the narrative that the Blazers weren't trying to add vets last season before the deadline though. Probably were looking for a Winslow replacement as that was about when he got shut down.

    I'd retire Rik Smits' number for the Pacers before Jermaine O'Neal's.

    Seriously? The NY Liberty has been in the WNBA for 26 years and it’s in the post you responded to
