And I saw a clip of that, too
I didn't get an opportunity to actually see the game live, but I saw that he was able to score one in the match the other day, and I thought that was pretty unique
The fact that he would do that and also be with Liverpool football club
I've been listening to those guys for so long
I was listening to those guys when I
My first year with the heat in 2010
You can ask any one of my teammates back then had no idea what Amigos was
They were, like, cursing me out when I would play it throughout the weight room or play it throughout the locker room
I was like, I'm telling you, these guys are next
I'm
Then, you know, right now these days, like, turn this off
I'm gonna hear this
Just fast forward to me just
Just knowing I take off personally and see
My condolences to Quavo and the family and the whole QC family
And everybody
Second thing I saw was three rims from being poked in eye on that previous possession when I drove to the hole and then in transition, so I just aim for the middle one
To the brown
LeBron James has a about a 40 inch vertical leap, unlimited range on his jump shot
But the strength of his game could be his passing
Last season, he won a second state championship and was the first sophomore named to USA Today's All America team
James outside for three
James is young enough to have been born during Michael Jordan's rookie season and talented enough that some say he might be the next Jordan
The two number 20 three's have already played together
James has created such a buzz that his team can no longer play here in its own gym
It's too small
They now play their home games at the University of Akron, where the capacity is about 6000
And you never know who might show up
James is already the subject of a sneaker war between Adidas and Nike
His high school wears Adidas, and James receives custom made sneakers complete with his initials and number
Nike says it's trying to build a relationship with James and his family, but can't sign him until he turns pro
To the basket, scores
Nice play by LeBron James
Thought about challenging an NBA rule which says you can't turn pro until your high school class graduates
He figured he's as old as Ty Tryon and he's a pro
James is 17
He's staying in school
He says he's thinking about college, but few expect him to go
In the meantime, the legend continues to grow of the schoolboy from Akron who some say just might be the next Jordan
Listen, I will call Kyrie the wizard all the time
Like, all the time
Like, there was nothing on the basketball floor that Kyrie couldn't do
And sitting here watching it, you know, I'm like, I'm playing, like, so fucking happy and so proud
And to watch him and continue his growth or whatever the case may be, and at the same time, I'm so fucking mad at the same time that I am not his running mate anymore
So I'm like, I just remember those times
And to
Back to what you were saying, jj, to have a guy like Kyrie Irvin as the ultimate wild cardinal, that's like having a draw four in your hand every time someone deals you cars in Uno
Like, every single time, because he has the ability to
Like you said, I saw him in game one, west conference finals, game one
You know, I think up until that point, I don't know the stat
Cause I'm not writing down the stats, and I don't call the games like you guys, but I think Kyrie was only averaging, like, eight points in the first half
Like, in the second round of the playoffs, you know, he was getting at 16 to 20 in the second half
But in the first half of games, you know, he was like, six
And you like, okay, you know
You know you're gonna have Kyrie in the fourth, but I need you sometimes in the first half, too, brother
But, like, what he did in game one, it was like, at a western conference
Finders, you was like
That was like, oh, shit
Dallas may be able to not only win the Western Conference finals, they might be able to win the whole thing because of that wild card
I have so many words to praise Kyrie that I end up with absolutely none, because it's just
It's so
He's the most gifted player the NBA has ever seen
He has the best gifts I've ever seen of any NBA player
I've never seen a guy in my NBA life that feels better at times shooting with his offhand than he does with his primary hand
If Kyrie's off in a game with his right hand, he will literally go exclusively to his left hand
I've never seen nothing like that
The shot, one thing I'm thinking, the shot that he made versus Denver towards the regular, end of the regular season on Joker
It's one of the most ridiculous shots I've ever seen in my life
He's just that special
Oh, my goodness
Absolutely
And by the way, we're both saying the exact same thing, and he's just
He's remarkable
I mean, obviously it's a really good feeling when you have it going and you're winning
That's the most important for me
But, you know, the appreciation for the fans here, you know, I just try to give them the game back and it was very well received and I just try to reciprocate that by going out and playing games
I love to play at a high level
I've been able to be on the floor a lot more during non game days
My footage felt a lot better
I didn't have much time to, like, really rep a lot last year because I had to make sure that I could be on the floor running around or putting, you know, much, you know, pounding on the floor with my foot
So I've had a lot of opportunity to, like, get on the floor, see me for every game out on the floor, working on my game, working on my craft
So that that's helped out a lot, too, and try to stay consistent with my shot, same shot every time and just work, work, work, work, work
The fourth when they cut it to eight and
Yeah
I mean, obviously the long ball in our game is definitely a momentum shifter, you know, so, you know, obviously cam got it going and I hit a couple threes and cut it to, I think, eleven before they eight
They got the eight
They got the eight at the end of the third and they got the eight early in the fourth
So just trying to make my mark, see if I can get it going, too
You got to be able to score in this league as well
You know, you got to be able to stop, but you got to keep scoring, too
And I was able to
I was able to get a hot streak
Well, I don't never have to lean on it, because I can do so much
I can score at any level on the floor
You know, basically, once I cross half court, you know, I can score in the post, I can score off pick and rolls, I can score off the ball of cutting or being a recipient of my teammates making a play for me
But, you know, being able to have a growth mindset and be able to work on things that the league is changing, too
You know, the league is a heavy three point shooting league
I'm not a, you know, one of those guys that want to go out there and shoot, you know, 12, 14, 15 threes a game, but I want to be respected, and teams have to play me from the outside
I know that's still kind of one thing that teams still want to be like, okay, if you have to give up something, we much rather shoot the ball from outside
But, you know, shooting the long ball and also making my free throws, that's very important for me this season, in the last few seasons, obviously, which I could give
