“It’s not most stats per player, it’s most VALUABLE player.”

“I don’t have an MVP vote, but if I had an MVP vote, I’d vote for Caitlin Clark.”

“I’m not voting for Caitlin Clark because she’s the biggest star in women’s basketball, no. I’m not voting for her because she sells tickets… I’m not voting for her because millions of people tune in to watch her; she’s appointment viewing. No, that’s not why I would vote for her; I’m voting for her for what she does on the basketball court....”

Stephen Curry and LeBron James have defined the modern NBA through contrasting paths to greatness. While LeBron has built a legacy of dominance by winning four championships with multiple teams over 23 seasons, Curry matched his ring total in just 17 seasons—all with the Golden State Warriors. Curry’s unwavering loyalty and transformative impact in Golden State stand in sharp contrast to LeBron’s adaptability and success across different franchises, highlighting two unique blueprints for achieving basketball immortality.

Draymond: “Someone will say that, and I’ll agree with them every time. I don’t care. I do not take it for granted at all. Like, I oftentimes get, If you ain’t play with Steph and Klay, you wouldn’t be sh*t.”

Klay: “Well, you can’t rewrite the history books. What are we doing? I’m like, okay, great. I mean, what’s Larry Bird without ‘The Chief’ and Kevin McHale?”

Draymond: “But the reality is, regardless of how much someone can say that… because I’m so thankful.”

“Because the reality is, regardless of what people have to say about me, if I didn’t play with y’all, we had to work to make this happen.”

“It just wasn’t like, ‘Oh, I’m this player and you’re that player and Steph’s this player, great, it worked.’ Now, we had to work and go through the wringer, to actually make it happen.”

Should the Lakers pivot from Jonathan Kuminga to Klay Thompson?

Kuminga is 23 years old with the athleticism and rim pressure this roster needs, but he’s a career 33.6% shooter from 3 and the Lakers already ranked 23rd in made 3s last season. Meanwhile, Klay shot 38% from 3 last season and immediately fixed spacing, but he turns 37 in February and isn’t the best defensively.

During their time with the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James created one of basketball’s most iconic images, "No Look to LeBron".

This unforgettable moment remains a symbol of their unforgettable partnership and the excitement they brought to the game.
