It’s a travesty he doesn’t get more MVP hype.
When I did the LA Clippers vs Minnesota game on ESPN a couple weeks ago I came in air and said β€œEdwards is the best player in the NBA”.
He wins,gets 30 a night and has straps on defense. MVPs should be able to defend.
Narrative makers don’t get thatπŸ’―

Kings Fans..

Kayte & I were supposed to call tonight’s game between Phoenix vs Sacramento NBCSportsCa

But Peacock/NBC decided to make it a national exclusive instead of a side by side.

So my wife and I going to pull up and watch on tv while we lose ourselves in delicious Chinese food & vino. πŸ‘ŒπŸ½β€οΈ

The basketball gods and stars finally aligned and I finally had the chance to chop it up with @clairempls.bsky.social tonight at the Kings at Lakers game.

I’m naturally drawn to her writing talent because of her unique ability to detail the compelling human experience in players πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

I hate when people calling games on tv give me factory made info from the media guide. Or cold reheated stats and stale stories.

Maybe you actually talk to the players for some info that wasn’t written last weekπŸ’―

Y’all stories be stepped on.

Bones Hyland Revenge Game.

I can tell you for a fact that in Denver..Hyland had good solid vets like Jeff Green advocating for him to get more run.

Never happened.

In Minnesota..I can tell you for a fact that Edwards advocates for Bones to get some tick..and it happened. Bones is a bucket πŸ€

Amazing…I love how revealing Anthony Edwards is in his interviews. He explained after he hit the dagger 3..

β€œcoach Finch told me to pass the ball on the previous possession..(not shoot) so after I made the shot I told him β€˜you don’t want me to pass’ β€œπŸ˜‚

He’s Must see tv. Best player in the game. πŸ’―

The Nike LeBron 23 β€œLeBronto” Details Playoffs Dominance Over Raptors The Nike LeBron 23 "LeBronto" takes inspiration from LeBron's playoffs dominance over the Raptors from 2016-2018. Tap to see official images.

Nike needs to pay me for LeBronto which was my masterpiece when he was torching Toronto in the playoffs.

I called the game with Hubie Brown.

Courtside after the game Maverick Carter,LeBron’s agent asked me what I said about Lebron because it was going viral.

Keegan Murray NEVER had an ankle injury before his most recent one! That's crazy!

While we’re talking hockey.

Viewership in US last season:

WNBA Viewership: 960,000+ per game.

NHL Viewership: 440,000 per game.

Rewatching Spurs vs Kings.

Loved how Doug Christie is catalyzing growth in Keegan Murray.

In the first quarter alone Murray made the initial catch,received the initial touch offensively 8 times.
It resulted in 10 first qtr pts for Murray.

Off of β€œelbow” and β€œwide” β€œquick” actions. πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

Maaannnn. πŸ˜‚. I’ve spent the majority of my life in the USA. I’m an American citizen.

I’m weird though. I’m πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ when it comes to pucks.

I’d love to see Keegan Murray take 20 fga/game.

Have him be the player who makes the initial catch/touch on Sacramento’s β€œElbow” actions. On β€œWide” actions.

And let him β€œwork out”.

Murray told me he spent the summer playing 1’s in Chicago against Herb Jones and Max Struss.
Murray can get his own

I love Orlando’s Jevon Carter.

Bob Huggins then HC at WVU saw Carter AAU tourney.

It was a consolation round game.

8am. Early morning.

Carter was picking up opponents full court the entire game. Tenacious. Unrelenting.

Huggins offered him a skolly on the spot.

Carter still picks up 94 ft
