Dame vs PG – part 2134
Damian Lillard is a loyal guy. You can’t imagine him asking for a trade one day to get a title, like so many other players today. And even in the clash, he remains faithful. Even months later, he’s still on Paul George’s back. So when the latter made us all laugh by explaining that he wanted to end his career at the Clippers, Dame could not restrain herself:

The king of promises
Yes because, as a reminder, Paul George is it:
And yet, we are not talking about the promises he had to make to Doc Rivers’ daughter …
Handover
All good things come to an end. John Wall is no longer a Washington Wizards player. But before he left, he had a message for his lifelong friend, Bradley Beal:
“I spoke to him and wished the best. Keep doing what you’re doing. Run this franchise now because now you’re the franchise guy. “
Damn it’s beautiful. After 8 years of having been the unwavering leader of this team, taking them to the peaks of Maryland, the Eastern Conference, nay, the NBA, John Wall passes the baton to his little one. What a moment of emotion. After all he has accomplished, especially these last two years when he was the undisputed leader on a daily basis, he is passing the baton on to his little one, his loyal lieutenant. It’s bound to be very tough, but let’s hope Bradley Beal can do as well. Or not.
Metronome
LeBron James was voted Sports Illustrated for the third time in his career as Sportsman of the Year. 2012, 2016 and 2020. Basically every 4 years. In 2012 it was for his title with the Heat, in 2016 for that with the Cavs and there it is for that of the Lakers. This is the first to have won this title 3 times. Come on, next challenge in 2024 with the Kings?

The historical minute
On December 7, 2012, by planting a shot in the race in the second quarter of a 103-87 victory over the Hornets, Kobe Bryant became at 34 years and 104 days the youngest player in history to reach the bar. 30,000 career points. Record which was previously held by Wilt Chamberlain.
In short, to remember in the NBA (and elsewhere):
- Bam Adebayo is a good basketball player, a good guy and a good son. And that’s it, as the saying goes, he has put the daronne away.
- LaMelo Ball et Gordon Hayward seem to be having a good time together. It shoot a little the two Hornets.
- Steve Kerr has given the Warriors major goal this season. And, unsurprisingly, it revolves around defense. Hearing this, Andrew Wiggins would have sobbed, according to sources familiar with the matter obviously.
- Tom Thibodeau revealed to him the main strength of the Knicks: their youth. It’s a bit like when you’re in a job interview and you are asked about your main flaw and you answer: “I am a perfectionist”. There … Thibs is not thrilled by his team and we understand it. Come on, another year to wait and you’ll have some real players.
- Rudy Gobert, the real ones know.
The people that know, know. That’s all that matters to me ???????? https://t.co/lBtbZm2sum

In short, to forget in the NBA (and elsewhere):
- Soon a reboot of Hartley Hearts à Vif. We don’t touch the brothel legends… Or else one of the characters has to finish Australian international basketball after having been in gang fights.
- John Wall said he had a great conversation with James Harden, his new Rockets teammate. On the other hand, we do not know the content of their exchanges. Maybe they debated the best clubs in the country, the sounds of Lil’Baby, or the classiest gang signs around. It’s already that.
- The is funny in fact Bradley Beal.
- Rohff-Jean Messiha to tackle BoobaThis is the most unlikely (and also the most disappointing, admittedly) feat of 2020. It would be like Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas fraternizing to say shit about Charles Barkley.
- Rather than saying bullshit in a press conference like Paul George or John Wall, Kyrie Irving has chosen to control her comm. It was time. But not sure this is the best method.
- James Harden missed the Rockets’ first practice. he preferred to go to the evening. His reaction ? Well that …
James Harden just shared this on his IG story after missing Rockets practice earlier today. ???? pic.twitter.com/7U3TEJyvtA

New Love
JR Smith has fallen in love with a new sport and that is not necessarily good news. If he stops basketball to devote himself to it, his teammates will certainly be sheltered from his mythical levels of weights and more than questionable choices. But, since it is about snowboarding, we do not hide from you that we are worried about those who will meet them on the slopes … especially after the mulled wine break at the mountain restaurant.
Bro fr like i love this shit already no ???? but the shit is not easy at all!! An it’s obviously hard to find shit in my size! https://t.co/9qgP4FRL0I

Revelation
Zion Williamson has found his master. During the first training session of the Pels he crossed swords with Steven Adams and there, he hallucinated.
“I thought I was tough, but Steven is really tough!”
And yes, he’s not the first to understand how tough the NeoZ is after tasting his elbows in training. In any case, it’s clear that with the two, NOLA’s racket is going to be really rough …
“Steven is STRONG. I thought I was strong” ???? pic.twitter.com/8ovDFLmF5P

Seum
Trae Young has it bad. But really. On Saturday, he learned, like all Atlanta Hawks fans, that Georgie’s franchise will only air once on the national network next season. For one of the teams that has strengthened the most in the offseason, notably with the arrivals of Gallinari, Bogdanovic and Rondo, it’s hard to digest.

We understand guys, it hurts your heart, but last season the Hawks are less than 30 wins … It should win more this year, but, as always, you have to prove yourself. And then this lack of respect will be your source of motivation.
Good news
The NBA will stop anti-marijuana controls this season. Obviously, the info circulated quickly.

With his group Assassin, Rockin ‘Squat was one of the pioneers of rap in France. Here he signs a really original and well thought out video to pay tribute to New York and its influences.
