Found myself watching LeBron, Luka, Kyrie and Trae last night and thinking the ability to go from start-stop-start is maybe the most underrated skill to create space.
Curious @NoCeilingsNBA, who are the best Start-Stop players in this years’ draft? – 5:48 AM

Wilt Chamberlain scored 50+ points in 118 games throughout his NBA career.
That’s more 50-point games than Michael Jordan (31), Kobe Bryant (25), James Harden (23), Damian Lillard (15), LeBron James (14) and Kevin Durant (9) combined 😳 pic.twitter.com/SAAsSKZfVa – 12:39 AM

INCREDIBLE performance from Damian Lillard!
Dame scored a career-high 71 points in 131-114 win vs. Houston.
Lillard moves ahead of LeBron James in most career 50-point games (15) and within one of Kobe Bryant for most 60-point games! pic.twitter.com/t173GvCrA7 – 11:38 PM

AD on having Vanderbilt in the lineup alongside him and LeBron:
“It gives us a lot more freedom on the defensive end.”
They can switch, stay home, trap and recover … all three can handle bigs and wings. – 7:23 PM

There were a lot of reasons the Lakers won that game. I think this is the most important:
LeBron James and Anthony Davis were great in the fourth quarter and Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving weren’t.
The Lakers can beat anyone when their duo is better than the other duo. – 6:51 PM

The yin and yang of LeBron: he goes down, proclaiming he heard “a pop” in his foot or ankle, and then proceeds to demonstrate exquisite footwork in the post with that same foot to cook the Mavs down the stretch. – 6:35 PM

More on this storyline
James won two MVPs in a row twice, in 2009-2010 and in 2012-2013. He came in third in 2011, when 22-year-old Derrick Rose won it (Dwight Howard finished second). “You hear sometimes ‘voters fatigue,’ voting for the same guy year after year after year,” James said last Thursday, asked about the rarity of winning three straight MVPs. “But at the end of the day, if he’s the MVP and he’s playing like the MVP, then you should get it year after year after year.” -via ESPN / February 27, 2023
HoopsHype: Luka Doncic on LeBron James: “It’s unbelievable what he’s doing at 38. 20 seasons in the NBA is just unbelievable. He’s the scoring leader, he has accomplished almost everything that you can accomplish in basketball, so it’s pretty amazing to play against a guy like him.” pic.twitter.com/4fC6mXuQjC -via Twitter @hoopshype / February 27, 2023
While Davis and LeBron James hit the big shots that delivered the Lakers a stunning 111-108 win Sunday, none of it would’ve been possible without Vanderbilt. “A lot of the times, I would say, ‘Don’t look at the stat sheet,’ because he does all the things that don’t really go into the stat sheet,” Austin Reaves said before listing the numbers. Vanderbilt had 15 points. He grabbed 17 rebounds. He had four steals. Vanderbilt shut Doncic down faster than the failed scoreboard marriage proposal that happened in the first half. -via Los Angeles Times / February 27, 2023
