I assume Spears' legal team will slap back harder.

Apparently according to the video, Spears had his hands on Wenbanyama (like she was touching his shoulder to get his attention), and his security team moved her hand forcefully enough that she hit herself in the face. 

Her team already filed for battery. We'll see what happens though.

I know he is what he is, but man Bol Bol highlights are something. I could turn his highlights on and tell someone that he was the best player ever and you wouldn’t argue. Although, Javele highlights make him look like a hall of famer.

I want tough guys that know how to play. I think that has been a focus for Nico this year. But Bol’s highlights are something

I'd love it too, but we just have too many spares at that spot right now to bring on another developmental project.

Right, if we had a starter and solid backup and we were bringing in Bol Bol as a flyer?  Sure, but we've already got a logjam of mediocrity in that spot.

The Rich Paul story is crazy
He was just some random dude selling jerseys out of his car at the airport when he met LeBron and was able to find some rare ones for him.
I thought they were childhood friends

I just read where the Kings renounced the rights to Corey Brewer.

Corey Brewer!!! The guy who won a championship with Dallas in 2011? He was a frigging free agent!!! I just went and looked at his stats. 14 active years in the NBA and more than just a spare in a lot of them. He frequently played 15-25 minutes a game after he left Dallas.

Here's to Corey frigging Brewer. I salute you!

Was he still in the NBA or was that a contract used in trades?  I didn't know he was in the league last year.

Looking back to his college team and draft class, I would imagine the odds are pretty small that one college team had three players in one draft play as long as Brewer, Horford and Noah played.    I guess that is why they won two championships.  Probably a forgotten team in a lot of the great team rankings.

There aren't any stats for him since 2020. Maybe he tried to make a comeback. I don't know.

I bet he has a decent retirement package though. I'm calling Corey Brewer the new Kevin Willis.

He's been out of the league since COVID happened. I remembered the Kings signed him out of nowhere right after the pandemic started.

Where can this be streamed? Do the Spurs stream summer league on their website the way the Mavs do?

Spurs are on ESPN.  But all the games will be on ESPN, ESPN alternative channel or NBA TV.   If you have those channels, I am sure there will be some streams to watch those games.

Dude, I haven’t had cable for over 10 years. Other than live sports, there’s not one downside to forgoing that scam.
