John Wall says he still texts his mother every morning and night and has continued to pay her phone bill to keep her number active since she passed away in 2019

“I made sure I paid the bill for that for the rest of the time I’m going to be on this earth, so I can send my daily text in the morning and my daily text at night”

“It helps me. I know she can’t respond, but I can still send my messages and know that nobody else has her number. And sometimes you have your moments when you just sitting at home and you just reflect”

“And I always look at pictures and reflect. My display screen on my phone is my first game against the Sixers, and we win the game and I give her a hug, and I always keep that as my bio picture”

Dwyane Wade says Steph Curry’s best skill is his cardio, and the scariest part of guarding him is when he gives up the ball

“I think his best skill is his cardiovascular. Steph don’t look like he ever get tired. He’s always moving. The scariest part about guarding Steph Curry is when he gave the ball up. That’s saying a lot about a guy who was dynamic with the ball in his hand. But when Steph Curry gives that ball up, watch out”

“That’s what makes them great is when Steph gives that ball up and now he is moving and everybody is doing their job. They’re setting screens in. They’re ducking in. They don’t do a lot of isolation basketball in Golden State. It’s movement. It’s body movement. It’s ball movement. It’s making sure that the defense are not comfortable in their positions”

“When you’re guarding Steph Curry, everybody’s aware that Steph is running off that. Everybody’s watching Steph. Forget hockey assist. Steph on the floor is an assist for everybody because of his body movement and the ball movement that comes with that”

Stephen A. Smith says he’s over his beef with LeBron James and hopes LeBron wins a title in Philadelphia

“We all know that I’ve had my issues with LeBron James and vice versa. I do not hate the man. I was pissed off at once upon a time, but I’m thoroughly over that. I’m 59 years old. Life is short. Ain’t got time for all of that. I wish him nothing but the best. And I’m looking forward to covering him as his career comes to an end over the next two years. Hopefully, he’ll win a championship for Philadelphia”

Dave Chappelle says no one needs to think anymore because of AI: “Thinking is for poor people”

“I was talking to a friend of mine and we were laughing about how no one really would know what to teach a kid now. What skill sets are going to matter 10 or 20 years from now as the world becomes automated”

“We decided your character is your destiny. If you’re a good person that’s all you can ask from anybody and hope for the best”

“I don’t know if anyone needs to think anymore. It’s AI, quantum computing, it seems like thinking is for poor people”

Donte DiVincenzo says no NBA player comes into the season better conditioned than Steph Curry

“Routine and work ethic. The amount of work that those guys put in and how disciplined they are and what they're doing in their workouts, the focus is off the charts. Steph he's just a different creature when it comes to working out and going full speed”

“There's nobody more conditioned than Steph going into the season at day one. Most guys you see get conditioned playing into the season, as the season's going on, and he comes in and he's just like day one playoff ready and it's crazy to see”

Steph Curry’s trainer explains why Curry uses an underwater treadmill to get in extra conditioning

“By going underwater, it provides less pressure on the joints so we can continue to do some fitness, get him moving, do more than we would on court without the pounding that is required for an athlete who's been going for 17 years. Typically, if we go rep by rep, every rep, he'll likely have a higher heart rate or a similar peak, but the recovery window, it tends to become less of a recovery every rep. If his rest period is active, which it is, or if it's challenging”

“That recovery period, if you see a really good drop in heart rate, that shows an indication that he's recovered or aerobic fitness. But if he's passively resting or he has a longer rest period, that helps. But this is a 1 to 1 ratio. And he's still running in between. So we're likely going to get a similar spike, 150, 160, maybe 65 near the end. But his heart rate before he starts his next rep is probably going to be a little bit higher because he's still trying to recover from the workload”
