Kobe says his first 2–3 NBA seasons were brutal and he regretted skipping college, and says if it weren’t for a random injury there’s no telling how long he would have came off the bench “There were a couple low moments. Losing to the Celtics in ’08 was tough, but before that, at the beginning of the journey, it was not playing. Coming in as a rookie, I was saying, ‘Man, if I knew this was going to be like this, I would’ve went to school.’” “I felt like my coach, Del Harris at the time, was trying to make sure he didn’t show favoritism to the young kid. And as a result, he swung completely in the opposite direction and did things that weren’t really fair.” “I mean, not playing. My first two or three years were brutal. They were nightmares. I’d sit around and watch all my peers going out there playing 35, 37 minutes. AI, Ray Allen, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, everybody’s doing their thing.” “And I’m sitting there glued to the bench, getting really pissed off and thinking I should’ve just gone to college. That was the hardest part.” “During the lockout season, Rick Fox had plantar fasciitis in both feet. He wanted to play somebody else in front of me, and that person got hurt. So then he had no choice but to start me, but he started me at small forward.” “And this was when small forwards were big small forwards. This is KG. This is Shareef Abdur-Rahim. This is Pippen. So I started the first 10 games or whatever at small forward. I think I had like seven straight double-doubles or something like that. And then I was in the starting lineup ever since. No looking back.”

Peyton Watson is the Cavs BIGGEST PROBLEM, according to @BleacherReport 😳 The Cavaliers gave up Max Strus, an unprotected first-round pick, and a 2027 second-round pick to acquire Peyton Watson on a four-year, $88 million deal. So far, Watson has struggled, shooting just 37.1% from the field and 16.7% from three, while posting a -25.7 net differential. He has also missed the past few games with a hamstring injury, raising further concerns about his early impact. Thoughts? 🤔

The Los Angeles Lakers have recalled forward Adou Thiero from the Coachella Valley Lakers.

Luka Dončić with a scoring barrage in the second quarter, lets the Kings bench hear it, as well as an earful for owner Vivek Ranadive seated courtside. Very familiar to a couple years ago when Luka spouted off at former Kings GM Vlade Divac, who passed on drafting him.

One of the dirtiest plays ever 😳

Luka Dončić is the first player in NBA history to have 6 consecutive games with: 35+ points 5+ rebounds 5+ assists 5+ threes made

Crazy that this was our PG rotation back in 2023
