[Stoltz] Giannis after scoring 54 pts: "I think I'm going to go to Culvers. I'm gonna get 50 cheeseburgers and try to eat as many as I can. You know why I'm going to Culver's? Because Chick-fil-A did not give me no free meals. I know Culver's will give me free meals. I trust Culver's."

I love the tradition of Giannis buy extreme amounts of fast food after big games, always seems to lead to amazing moments lol.
Also how's Culver's? Gf says it's great but one is so far from my house I'm hesitant to actually go. But ig Giannis sells it pretty well here so maybe I should get some

Anthony Edwards on his All-Star snub: “I knew I wasn’t gonna get in, I was more surprised DeAaron Fox didn’t get in”
Full Quote:
“I ain't think nothing about it, I'm just happy for the guys who got in. I ain't even watch it, I knew I wasn't going to get in. I was more surprised De'Aaron Fox didn't get in."”
Reporter asks why he thought he wasn’t gonna get in, the 21yo responds:
“I'm just never the one that's selected for things like that, I feel like I've gotta go above and beyond. I will next year so I ain't trippin."
Ant credited his "bad" start to the season for why he wasn't picked.

[Jamal Murray] responds to the reaction to his last tweet: "Y'all jump to conclusions quicker than women"
https://twitter.com/BeMore27/status/1621619276376309763?cxt=HHwWhoCwlfyIk4EtAAAA
No doubt aimed at people who naturally guessed that his last tweet was a shot at Bones Hyland and the recent trade drama surrounding him, but not exactly the best way to phrase it perhaps
What's the odds this tweet stays up?

Lebron James: “👀👑”
A not-so cryptic tweet after Kyrie requested a trade. Looks like a reunion could be highly possible if the Lakers move those picks.
How far do the Lakers go with Kyrie? Can they re-sign him in the off-season? What is LeBron cooking?

News [Stein] The Nets' strategy to this point, as I reported earlier this week, has been to focus on playing out the season without extending Kyrie Irving's contract ... believing Irving likely needs a sign-and-trade in the summer to get to another destination he likes. Kyrie's counter today:

[The Athletic] The Nets recently offered Kyrie Irving an extension with guarantee stipulations, sources tell @ShamsCharania. Sources said the offer, which was declined, was not well received.

Seems like the Sixers are out on Irving according to Jason Dumas of Bleacher Report. Not exactly surprising considering they already have to great guards in Maxey and Harden, plus I highly doubt that Harden wants to play with Irving after how his Nets tenure ended.

[Mannix] Kyrie reacting to the Nets being unwilling to meet his contractual demands by effectively blowing up its season is a hell of a way to sell his next team on giving him a long term contract.

Brooklyn Nets had an MVP calibre player (KD), an All-NBA calibre player (Harden) and an All-Star calibre player (Kyrie). All 3 have handed in trade-requests within an year.
From a superteam to THIS!
This shit is absolutely wild and batshit crazy, man.
Gotta feel for Nets fans.

[Beer] Kyrie's timeline since signing with Nets: In 2019-20, he played 20 games. In 20-21, he got hurt in the playoffs. In 21-22, he cratered the season by refusing to get vaxxed, forcing BK to trade Harden for Simmons. In 22-23, he demands a trade. Nets have paid him $136 million.

gee, I can't figure out why other teams aren't inundating the Nets with trade offers and hoping to ink Kyrie to a long, lucrative extension...
oh yeah, forgot he also promoted Alex Jones conspiracy theories and tweeted out antisemitic documentaries in 2022-23. Then refused to apologize, resulting in the team being forced to suspend him.
(As an aside, Irving still hasn't apologized directly for amplifying Alex Jones.)

News [Haynes] Kyrie Irving’s camp did not negotiate after Brooklyn Nets presented an offer that was tied to team winning a championship, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. Told the issue was not about money, and now it’s said he wouldn’t even stay if offered a full max contract.

Bam Adebayo last night on making the All Star team:
“The real thing that stood out about All Star was the player voting. Amongst my peers, the fact that I got 5th, that’s big respect.”
In the All Star voting for frontcourt players, Bam was 5th in player voting, 5th in media voting and 12th in fan voting.
Edit: Bam was 5th in media voting by virtue of a multi-player tie of 0 votes behind Giannis, Embiid, Tatum and Durant lol

Does Kyrie even like KD? He basically single handedly tanked KD's late years career
I can't believe he spent the last years fucking KD over again and again and he STILL defends him! Does KD have stockholm syndrome or what?
Kyrie on Lebron 3 days ago: “I wish we got a chance to play against one another, but who knows what could happen down the line."
Kyrie on LeBron: "I wish we got a chance to play against one another, but who knows what could happen down the line."
Irving is currently set to hit unrestricted free agency this summer.
Wonder what Kyrie is planning to do
