guerrajohn+FollowKareem & Zeke Reflect: Big Men UnleashedLoved hearing Cap and Zeke chop it up at NBA Con! Kareem joked about how he and Isiah were “over-coached” back in the day—no way a center like him could bring the ball up like Giannis does now. He credits the 3-point era for making bigs so versatile. Gotta respect Cap for embracing the evolution and not throwing shade at today’s game. Times change, and so does the league! #Sports #Basketball #NBA10Share
FromTheLand+Follow28.2 PPG on 51.5% FG as a Rookie is UnrealMichael Jordan’s rookie season numbers are wild — 28.2 points per game on over 50% shooting, plus 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists. LeBron’s rookie year was impressive in its own right, but MJ’s efficiency and scoring volume as a rookie might be unmatched. Which rookie season do you think was more impressive in context? #NBA #MichaelJordan #LeBronJames #NBADebate #RookieSeason #NBAHistory #MyNBAGOAT #Sports #BullsNation #CavsNation 8069Share
FromTheLand+FollowHow Do You Punish Steve Ballmer?The numbers put it in perspective: NBA total valuation (2024): $132.8B Steve Ballmer’s net worth (2025): $153.1B His Clippers stake: $5.5B Think about that — Ballmer could theoretically buy the entire league and still be a billionaire 20 times over. So what’s a fine going to do? $10M? $50M? Even $100M? That’s pocket change. Draft picks? The Clippers already mortgaged their future. Push penalties out to 2034 and it’s still the same. Voiding Kawhi’s deal? Their window is closing anyway. At some point, this isn’t about punishment — it’s about whether the NBA even can hold an owner like this accountable. Stern would’ve gone nuclear, but does Adam Silver have the backbone to make an example here? Because right now, the message is clear: if your owner is rich enough, the rules don’t exist. #Clippers #SteveBallmer #NBANews #NBADebate #NBA #Sports #NBAOffseason #LosAngeles 10Share
Beth Holland+FollowWho Was the Better PF Next to LeBron: Kevin Love or Chris Bosh?Both Kevin Love and Chris Bosh sacrificed numbers to fit alongside LeBron James, but their impact was huge in their championship runs. Bosh: Elite defender, versatile scorer, clutch moments (Game 6 rebound + kick to Ray Allen). Love: Rebounding, floor spacing, key stops (2016 Finals defense on Steph). Different skillsets, same role: doing the dirty work to make their teams thrive. So… who was the better fit next to LeBron? #NBA #LeBronJames #ChrisBosh #KevinLove #Heat #Cavs #NBADebate #PowerForward #Sports 32Share
FromTheLand+FollowKobe Bryant Holds the Highest Scoring Record for an All-Defensive PlayerIn 2005–06, Kobe averaged 35.4 points per game—the highest single-season scoring average in NBA history by a player who also made the All-Defensive First Team. A true display of two-way dominance. That’s Mamba Mentality. #KobeBryant #MambaMentality #NBA #Lakers #BasketballHistory #Sports 572Share
Beth Holland+FollowPeak Bird vs Peak LeBron — Who You Got in a Series?Larry Bird or LeBron James at their absolute peak — who are you taking? The Case for Bird: Can play in any system, dangerous on and off the ball. Elite shooter who thrived without spacing. Killer mentality and clutch reputation. The Case for LeBron: Unmatched versatility, could score, pass, rebound, and defend at an all-time level. Helio offense built around him took teams to 10 Finals. Size, athleticism, and durability. Bird’s game flowed with team ball. LeBron’s heliocentric style carried weaker rosters to the Finals. Peak for peak, who are you rolling with in a series? #NBA #LarryBird #LeBronJames #NBADebate #GOATTalk #MyNBAGOAT #Sports 75111Share
Robert Johansson+FollowThe Lakers Should Build a Statue for George MikanBefore Magic, Kobe, or LeBron, there was George Mikan — the Lakers’ first dynasty. Five titles in Minneapolis (1949, 1950, 1952–54) built the foundation LA still flexes today. The franchise retired his No. 99 and hangs a Minneapolis banner — but there’s no Mikan statue in Los Angeles. If those five rings matter, then Mikan deserves a statue outside Crypto. #NBA #LakersNation #GeorgeMikan #NBAHistory #Minneapolis #BasketballHistory 80Share
Beth Holland+FollowLeBron on His Golf Game: “My Handicap’s Like a 20… 25”During an interview in Shanghai, LeBron James was asked about his golf handicap. His answer? “I haven’t played enough to know my handicap… but if I had to guess, probably like a 20, 25, something like that.” His longtime friend and chief of staff, Randy Mims, quickly jumped in: “I would say 14 or 15.” LeBron wasn’t buying it: “Really? Nah… my shit’s out there in the 20s. I got to get better, though.” From chasing greatness on the court to grinding on the golf course — even the King has a handicap. ⛳️👑 #LeBronJames #Golf #NBA #NBADebate #Sports #NBAOffseason #TheChosenOne #ForeverKing #KingJames #Sports 20Share
James Allen+FollowClippers Respond to Salary Cap Circumvention AllegationsAfter reports surfaced that the Clippers allegedly funneled $28M to Kawhi Leonard through the now-bankrupt company Aspiration, the team released a statement via [Shams Charania]: “Neither the Clippers nor Steve Ballmer circumvented the salary cap… The notion that Steve invested in Aspiration in order to funnel money to Kawhi Leonard is absurd.” The statement says Ballmer was one of many investors defrauded by Aspiration’s co-founder Joseph Sanberg, who has since pled guilty to a $243 million fraud scheme. The Clippers insist Kawhi’s endorsement deal with Aspiration was independent, adding they “take NBA compliance extremely seriously” and will fully cooperate with the league’s investigation. So where do you stand: is this just bad optics, or do you think the Clippers should still face punishment? #KawhiLeonard #Clippers #SteveBallmer #NBA #NBANews #BasketballDebate #Sports 10Share
FromTheLand+Follow"Richard Jefferson Recounts Gilbert Arenas’ Audacious College Scam: Fake Autographed Basketballs"Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas reportedly pulled off one of the wildest memorabilia schemes in college history—right under the NCAA's nose. As told by Richard Jefferson, who played alongside him at Arizona, Arenas didn’t exactly “steal 50 to 100 signed team balls,” as he once claimed. Instead, he purchased most of them and then forged the rest of the autographs, distributing the counterfeit basketballs. Jefferson even encountered one of them at the Tucson airport—a real head-turner. If the NCAA had caught wind of it, things could have gotten much worse. Arenas has since earned the nickname "Agent Zero" and forged a big-league career as a dynamic guard—but his college hustle was on another level. #GilbertArenas #RichardJefferson #CollegeBasketball #NCAA #NBAStories #SportsLegends #ThrowbackDrama #NBA #Sports 180Share
