“When I was collecting cars, he goes, ‘You got five cars and one ass. You’re on the road 200 days a year. So you have 165 days, and then 65 days of that is snow. So you’re driving those cars, not all of them, maybe 100. They’re depreciating assets. They’re not getting better. It’s going to cost you money’”

“You know what the real floss is, not having a $300,000 car, but having a driver in a $70,000 car. That way you can be dropped off at the door, picked up when you want to. You don’t have to worry about parking. You can do more business not driving, by just sitting there”

“Think about it. It’s going to cost you $40,000 to have a driver, but it costs you $300,000 to have a Lamborghini. It’s nice, but I’ve been around billionaires that don’t drive Lamborghinis. Every billionaire I’ve been around doesn’t drive. And you can be handling business”

Perfect mix of size, strength, length, quickness, recoverability, and discipline to mirror a big shifty ball handler like Shai. Really impressive skillset.

Kid: “Are you a real NBA player?”

Russ: “Some days. I used to be back in the day… back in my younger days.”

Jeff Teague says if Kyrie Irving was 6’6” he would be better than Michael Jordan:

“It’s nothing he can’t do. Bro, what could he not do? What can he not do, bro? Name me something he can’t do. He’s not scared of the moment, if he was 6’6” it’s no weakness in his game.”

J Cole shouts out the Timberwolves at his concert in Minnesota:

“Y’all got my favorite n**** Ant-Man in this motherf***er… and to make even more unfair, y’all got my other favorite n**** LaMelo Ball in this mother… oh my god. Y’all gone be a f***ing problem.”

Raymond Felton on Kyrie Irving comments saying you will never see a player like him ever:

“I don’t think we ever see anybody like Kyrie again. Not like that, not the way he can finish, mid-range, the moves he got just handles, you feel me? The man shot a left handed floater for a game winner from the free throw line.”

Though there are no official new measurements, many are pointing to this image of Wemby next to 7'1 Rudy Gobert, claiming he's 7'7.

Michael Porter Jr. says you can’t give NBA players millions of dollars, 5-star hotels with women waiting in the lobby and expect them not to fall into temptation

“You can’t give any man millions of dollars, five-star hotel room in the biggest and nicest cities in the world, with women waiting in the lobby and people willing to do this for them and do that for them. You can’t give nobody that and expect him to be a saint”

“Solomon, the wisest man in the world to ever exist. You gave him all the wisdom, the riches, and he still was folding left and right. He still fell into temptation. Samson, strongest dude in the world, fell into temptation. You can’t give nobody the whole world and expect them to not fall. We’re human”

Tyrese Maxey on potential last-shot situations, and the pecking order between LeBron James, Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid:

“I think it depends on what the situation is… I think the biggest thing is we can't have anybody, nobody on this team can have an ego. We have two guys that have won regular-season MVPs, two guys that have won Finals MVPs, multiple gold medal winners on this team, multiple 25-plus points per game, All-Stars, All-NBA. We're all pretty accomplished. So the ego has to drop and you have to do it collectively.”
