Pamela Owens+FollowCooper Flagg just beat the Nuggets… and he’s starting to look like a starThe Mavs took down Denver 131-130, and Cooper Flagg was at the center of it. 33 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists — flirting with a triple-double while making big plays when it actually mattered. Confident touches. Big shots. The right reads when the game tightened up. This didn’t feel like a “nice rookie night” — it felt like a player who already knows the moment belongs to him. Games like this are usually where the conversation shifts from potential to expectation. At what point do we stop saying “future star” and just call him a star? #NBA #Mavericks #CooperFlagg #Nuggets #NikolaJokic #JamalMurray #NBADiscussion 10Share
Christopher Brown+FollowNBA viewership is back-back: 87M+ Americans have already watched this seasonThe NBA says 87+ million people in the U.S. have watched games this season across NBC/Peacock, ESPN, Amazon Prime Video, and NBA TV — the most in 15 years, and up 89% vs. last year. A big part of the story is the new media landscape (more national windows across multiple platforms). The early-season momentum has been strong enough that even the AP flagged it as the league’s best opening stretch in over 15 years. Are the league’s new wave of stars actually pulling casual fans back in? #NBA #NBARatings #NBAOnNBC #Peacock #ESPN #PrimeVideo #SportsMedia #NBADiscussion 10Share
Patty Mills+FollowKon Knueppel just hit 100 career threes in 29 games — fastest ever in NBA historyThis isn’t a “rookie record.” This is an NBA history record. Hornets rookie Kon Knueppel knocked down his 100th career three and became the fastest player ever to reach 100 made threes — doing it in just 29 games. The rest of the list: 2.Lauri Markkanen – 41 Games 3.Keegan Murray – 42 Games 4.Luka Doncic – 42 Games 5.Brandon Miller – 43 Games Is this the start of a genuine elite NBA shooter… or are we looking at one of the most insane heater months we’ve ever seen? #NBA #Hornets #KonKnueppel #NBARecords #3PointShooting #RookieSeason #NBADiscussion10Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowKG to fans on NBA All-Star: “Stop voting LeBron in. Save your vote.”On a recent segment, KG straight-up told fans not to vote for LeBron, arguing it’s a wasted vote if the guy might not even suit up: “All you people out there that’s going to vote for Bron, save your vote. He didn’t play in it last year. Why would you expect him to play?” And to be fair… LeBron was selected for the 2025 All-Star Game but sat out because of lingering foot/ankle discomfort. So here’s the real question: Who gets snubbed if “automatic LeBron” takes a spot again? #NBA #AllStar #LeBronJames #KevinGarnett #NBADiscussion #NBAAllStarGame 10Share
Steve Francis+FollowShaedon Sharpe put Russell Westbrook on a poster… in the clutchIf you missed Blazers–Kings, don’t worry about the full recap — just know this: Shaedon Sharpe took one dribble, launched, and basically went horizontal mid-air to dunk on Russell Westbrook. It was disrespectful in the cleanest possible way. And it came late in the 4th and completely sucked the air out of Sacramento’s momentum in a 98–93 Portland win. Sharpe finished with 23 points, and the Blazers swept the home-and-home with the Kings. Is this your dunk of the year? #NBA #RipCity #Blazers #ShaedonSharpe #DunkOfTheYear #Kings #NBADiscussion20Share
Richard Thomas+FollowWho’s more likely to get a ring before they retire?Russ and Harden have basically been in a “will it ever happen?” race for years... and their remaining seasons now look numbered. Who’s more likely to get it first — Russ or Harden? #NBA #RussellWestbrook #JamesHarden #Clippers #RingChasers #NBADiscussion 10Share
Patty Mills+FollowSept. 23, 2017: LeBron called Trump a “bum”One of the most famous NBA moments of the modern era happened on September 23, 2017. That morning, President Donald Trump tweeted that Stephen Curry’s White House invitation was “withdrawn” because Curry was “hesitating.” LeBron responded almost immediately, saying Curry had already decided he wasn’t going—then fired the shot heard around sports Twitter: “U bum… Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” Kobe Bryant also jumped in that same day with his own blunt critique, calling out a president whose name “creates division and anger.” Is this all-time NBA tweet? #NBA #LeBronJames #StephenCurry #Warriors #Sports #NBADiscussion #DonaldTrump 301Share
Pamela Owens+FollowJames Harden on LeBron’s scoring record after Clippers beat Lakers: “Don’t even say Bron… nobody is ever catching that.”The Clippers beat the Lakers 103–88 last night, and afterward James Harden had one of the most definitive takes you’ll hear about LeBron’s all-time scoring mark. When a reporter brought up Harden climbing the scoring list, Harden immediately shut down any “can you catch LeBron?” framing: “Don’t even say Bron in this conversation. That record, nobody is ever catching that.” Context matters here: Harden had 21 points and 10 assists in the win, while LeBron still dropped a season-high 36 in the loss—so the comment lands like respect from a peer who knows exactly how hard it is to stack points for that long. #NBA #Lakers #Clippers #LeBronJames #JamesHarden #NBAHistory #ScoringRecord #NBADiscussion2218Share
Beth Holland+FollowLeBron is about to play his 20th Christmas game (all-time record)LeBron James is set to make his 20th career Christmas Day appearance, which is the most in NBA history. And when asked about it, he kept it brutally honest: he said he’d “much rather be at home with my family”—but that Christmas Day basketball is the game he grew up watching, and it’s still an honor to be part of it. Is this one of his most impressive records of all time? #NBA #LeBronJames #ChristmasDay #Lakers #NBAHistory #NBADiscussion20Share
Shawn Martin+FollowHawks' Dyson Daniels is at 9% from three in DecemberPer ESPN splits, Dyson Daniels is shooting 9% from three in this month. Zoom out: over his last 15 games, he’s at 10.5% from deep and 60.6% at the line. And you can see it on film: opponents are comfortable putting bigs on him and letting them roam off-ball, because they’re not worried about the pull-up or the catch-and-shoot. That messes with spacing, shrinks driving lanes, and makes Atlanta’s half-court offense easier to load up against good teams. The timing is rough, too, because the Hawks just committed long-term: Daniels agreed to a four-year, $100M extension this offseason. What do you think: is this just who he is offensively—elite defender, but a spacing problem in big games? #NBA #Hawks #DysonDaniels #NBADiscussion #Basketball #NBAStats10Share
