Basketball

This whole ride started with one crazy idea from Coach D’Antoni.

Former teammates and opponents including Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Rajon Rondo and Isaiah Thomas, pay tribute to the 10-time NBA All-Star.

We’ve never been more dangerous than right now.

To my players, I really just want to say: Thank you. Thank you for giving me a season I’ll always remember.

Then I got a call from Miami, and I walked into the O.G. Pat Riley’s office, which is damn near the best thing that’s happened in my NBA career.

There was a lot said about me not being able to stay healthy. I read every word of it, and I did what I’ve been doing since I was shooting Js on the Little Tyke

This year, from the very beginning, was about us making a name for the Bucks — about us forcing our way into the argument of who the East’s top contenders are.

We’ve got those pinwheel-tattooed, bleeding-red-and-black, still-rocking-that-Walton-jersey, ride-or-die, realer-than-real hoops fans in Portland. The love is r

See, when I was a kid, I was obsessed with dunking.

On our first day as teammates, Doc said to all of us, “We're going to win the NBA championship ... but we have to do it now.”

I think that what John With the Shades has done this year — as a leader, as a winner, and as a capital-P capital-G Point God — deserves a little more respect.

The MVP race is like a sandwich: A lot of guys are bringing the fixings. Only Kawhi’s got the bread.

I don’t think losing bothers guys in the NBA now.

There has never been a better time to be a Gamecock than right now.

No matter what the future holds, that game on Sunday will always be for Dad.

I would have loved to have played on the greatest Gonzaga basketball team of all time. But honestly, I’m happy to have been supplanted.

I don’t know what’s next for me, but I do know one thing: Belmont, you have my heart.

I want to be a person that people in my community can count on. And in 20 years, I hope it’ll still be that way.
