George Mikan notes from MIN/FTW 11/20/52: - Elite post-fronting and reading of passing lanes relative to era, but lacked physicality (rules probably prevented it) - Sound low-post game with sky-hooks and drop-steps, lacked touch, but elite for his era - Capable passer/DHO hub

We're still only 3 exhibition games in, but with Anthony Davis putting up strong performances after performance, it's getting pretty difficult to not be in favor of starting him. Maybe Joel Embiid would thrive better in the reserve unit where the offense would center around him.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's 1977-1979 peak is one of the greatest in NBA history, but gets very overlooked because of Magic Johnson's emergence with the Lakers. The numbers speak for themselves, KAJ was one of the most dominant players ever.

Through Team USA's first showcase games, reserve Anthony Davis has excelled on both ends. With Joel Embiid's struggles, many have campaigned for Davis to start at center instead. A player like Embiid needs time to adapt and we're only two games in. My stance is to wait and see.

Calling Alexandre Sarr a bust is an overreaction, here are my notes: - Clingan forced Sarr into missed shots off the P&R/pop - Sarr shot a lot of clean 3s, but didn't fall. He settled against smaller guys - Sarr had tunnel vision and forced iso shots against multiple defenders

No disrespect to Bronny James, but Jaylen Brown isn't wrong. Bronny has the skills to mold into an NBA player, but based off what we've seen, he's not even close. Spending time in the G-League over the next few years will do him some good and JJ Redick said something similar.

Taj Gibson is turning into a modern-day Robert Parish and I love it😂 Parish: 20 seasons (retired at 43) Gibson: 14 seasons (currently 38) Taj has a little ways to go, but I believe in him🫡

Free agent center Taj Gibson has agreed on a one-year, $3.3 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets, Mark Bartelstein of @Prioritysports tells ESPN. GM Jeff Peterson and coach Charles Lee bring on Gibson, 39, to mentor in a young locker room.

This is funny timing because I have a project on 2009 Dwyane Wade coming soon! Wade's peak is one of the more underrated peaks in recent history, but this statement is just silly

Gary Trent Jr. is a great addition to the Milwaukee Bucks! I was critical of Milwaukee's offseason because of their inability to trade Brook Lopez, but they've done a great job of filling out the roster being in the 2nd apron. GTJ is an upgrade from Malik Beasley on both ends

Free agent G Gary Trent Jr. has agreed on a one-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, Rich Paul and Lucas Newton of @klutchsports tell ESPN. Trent reunites with Damian Lillard and joins a Bucks organization that recruited him hard to chase a title with them.

Both Magic Johnson and Larry Bird had all-time careers, but if I had to pick, I'd pick Magic's because of hardware and better longevity. However, that doesn't mean one is a better player than the other!

Curry has 18 points on 6-9 shooting with 4+ minutes to go until halftime. Surreal performance from Steph so far, looking like his 2016 self. USA is finally getting in a rhythm.

Bam Adebayo's jumper has looked very smooth. Adebayo's showcasing his scoring versatility knocking down both long/short range jumpers off the catch and via his own creation. Adebayo has 9 points and 3 boards with a minute left in the first half

Can't say I'm surprised... The Warriors have loads of young talent with Kuminga, Moody, Podziemski, and Jackson-Davis along with draft capital. With how desperately Golden State needs a bonafide second option next to Steph Curry, it seems like Lauri will be a Warrior

This is tough, but I'd go: Start: 2006 Kobe Bryant Bench: 2019 James Harden Cut: 2009 Dwyane Wade (Probably should've put '10 Wade instead)

Good depth addition for the Denver Nuggets, he'll bring some decent facilitating and sporadic scoring. Interested to see how he'll fit next to Nikola Jokic, but this move doesn't move the needle
