We’ve reached the showout portion of Team USA’s blowout over Greece here in the fourth quarter. Tyrese Haliburton hit Austin Reaves with a behind-the-back pass in transition. Team USA up 25 with less than 5 minutes to go. – 10:19 AM

Don’t let LeBron James’ durability distract you from the fact that a silver fox Rudy Fernandez is still out there hooping for Spain. – 9:54 AM

Austin Reaves has been lights-out for Team USA in their exhibitions and group play.
Lakers have an ascending player on a steal of a contract. – 9:08 AM

I’m watching a replay of cavs/warriors from 2017 (Durant and Curry). LeBron went to the bench with one min remaining in the first with the Cavs leading 31-27. Warriors went plus 12 in 45 seconds of Bron on the bench. It’s why I don’t take any discussion of 2017 or 2018 seriously – 12:28 AM

Raul Barrigon: Austin Reaves joins LeBron James as the only Team USA players with at least 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists at the World Cup since 1994. #Lakers #TeamUSA -via Twitter @BarriHoopsHype / August 28, 2023
Standing under the rim and asking for the ball while LeBron James is about to break the all-time scoring record is the funniest of them all. “I was just running the play,” said Bryant. “That’s the crazy thing about it people don’t understand it that was the play to run. I saw all the cameras come out and I was like, ‘Why are all the cameras out?’ As soon as he made the shot I was like ‘Oh Yeah!’”. -via WROC TV Channel 8 / August 25, 2023
It took us to the end of the podcast to get to LeBron, but Barkley offered a powerful message about the Lakers star, calling LeBron’s story the greatest in sports history. “I don’t get caught up in the silliness of who’s greater, LeBron or Michael or blah, blah, blah. I just think that that’s just easy pickins for guys,” Barkley said on SI Media With Jimmy Traina. “First of all, I think LeBron is a really nice man. I think he’s a really nice man and he’s a really good dude, but I’ll say this: I think his story, it’s the greatest story in sports history. People forget, Kobe Bryant wasn’t very good coming into the NBA. People forget that. And he’s one of the greatest ever, you know. Kevin Garnett struggled. -via Sports Illustrated / August 25, 2023
“With the talent that we have 1-through-12 regardless of who it is, we like our chances against anybody,” Reaves said. “The first unit wears down the opponents so quick because of the type of basketball that we play — fast, physical defense. So every time we get in the game, that’s our goal is to turn the intensity up and try to wear out teams.” Josh Hart, who played some of his most effective minutes with the team thus far, and Cameron Johnson were part of some swarming defensive spurts with the “backups.” “Josh is just a winner. People ask what, what position does he play? He just, he plays winner,” Kerr said. -via ESPN / August 28, 2023
