This is a misleading and bizarrely race-baiting headline, but it's usually a fun exercise. This one seems like a no-brainer to me. Team 1: Iverson, Wade, LeBron, KD, Duncan Team 2: Curry, Jordan, Kawhi, Karl Malone, Giannis Jordan and Kawhi on the same team is almost unfair, adding Curry to that team makes it laughable. Nobody could guard Jordan, and Curry could just let AI go by him for all he cares. Giannis would eat him alive and then Curry would bomb threes all day long on the other end. Kawhi would be LeBron's personal nightmare (again), and Wade... I can't think of any way Wade factors into this conversation at either end. Throw Mailman on Duncan as they're both dinosaurs by today's standards. The only real threats offensively for team 1 are KD and LeBron. Everyone else would be taking bad shots and bogging down their team's offense. As an aside, if you ever find yourself in Heber City, Utah, there's a stretch where like every other business is associated with the Mailman. 'Karl Malone Powersports.' 'Karl Malone Polaris.' 'Karl Malone Dodge' or whatever. He may be kind of a forgotten superstar these days, but he's certainly not forgotten there.

Doc Rivers to James Harden (asking him to be more aggressive and not so much of a facilitator) - 1:13 of this clip - 'When it clicks James, we're going to be unbeatable. UNBEATABLE.'  |

Rachel Nichols has resurfaced -
Gets gig with Showtime.....
Wonder if those whispers about her and Jimmy Buckets were true (not that it's any of my business). Think there as a spat too with an African American female broadcaster on ESPN - not quite sure if it was Malika Andrews or not.....

Yes, she looks like she got a facelift and gained weight.

Warriors beat the Wiz in Japan
Wiseman had 20
Donte DiVincenzo (nice pickup - 'Nova grad) - had 9 for the Warriors

Waiting for the shoe to drop on -
Jae Crowder
Jordan Clarkson
Mike Conley Jr
Eric Gordon
All could be had right now according to their teams - price dropping as the season approaches I'd imagine - unless the Jazz hold onto Clarkson as a trade chip at the deadline
Crowder is disgruntled and needs to be gone - Gordon and Conley ain't getting any younger and the Rockets and Jazz are in rebuild mode - get something now

Nice money (and job stability) for a 6th man who can't play defense
Figured they would have learned with Duncan Robinson and his dwindling minutes racking up DNPs in the playoffs

Surprised KD and Kyrie are playing (might want to gel early with Ben and show the NBA/Nets they're on their best behavior - especially Kyrie)
Embiid and Harden out
Simmons with a dunk.......nice look from Kyrie

Side note -
We're smoking the Nets by 19 - not that it matters - preseason
Ben looks rusty - to be expected
But he's been a little 'chippy' with a couple of our players - Paul Reed and Georges Niang - curious if a fight breaks out later......

Guys are literally just going through the motions out there. Did the Nets superstars play 40+ minutes? Give it a rest.

Raps installed a giant analytics screen in the gym. That's good for 11 more wins without trying.
