NBA Courtside

Ty Jerome on what’s been feeling good about his game this season:

“Honestly, I think it’s just the volume like, the pull-up numbers, the floater numbers, like those have kinda been the same now for the last 3 or 4 years. The volume’s just a lot more now. So, that’s why I think it’s like a shock to a lot of people because people can do it on 8 shots can you do it on 16 shots? And that’s the biggest thing that’s changed. And that goes back to probably being in better shape and stronger.”

Udonis Haslem on Luka Doncic:

“We’ve seen a lot of basketball, guys. I don’t know if we’ve seen nothing like this. I have not seen a guy who can’t be stopped with 2 guys, or 3 guys… he’s a savage, man.”

Kendrick Perkins on Luka’s 53:

“Couple days ago I said Luka is the closest thing to Kobe Bryant mentality wise…. We are witnessing greatness. One of the greatest offensive players we’ve ever seen”

Gilbert Arenas tells story of when he realized young LeBron was different:

“We played them in the playoffs, we going to his crib, gambling. They have 4 TVs, and he’s watching all sports. Looked like he was at f*cking Dave & Busters. He’s really flicking through and he got little notebooks. Just writing plays down. He had our sh*t on there too. I’m like ‘the mf this early watching tape like that?’ I’m like ‘hey man, this lil MF might be smarter than we think.’”

Gilbert Arenas on Tracy McGrady saying Kevin Garnett belongs in the GOAT power forward conversations:

“When you’re talking about who had pure talent it’s KG all day, when you’re talking about resumes of what they did in the league then you’re gonna say Tim, KG but you know, you picking a number one pick? You put 10 NBA players that played in that era, you’re sitting there that sh*t is going to be divided of who you’re going to start your franchise with.”
