    Kris Middleton always seemed to be hurt for long periods while Dame was there. He was a potent second scorer the year they won the championship.....

    I don't know Coach. He pushed Portland to the point of being relevant in the West, with CJ McCollum as the 2nd best player on the team. He could have left Portland in his prime and joined a super team, but he chose to stay. He certainly isn't the same player, as age and injuries have taken a...

    That's what I was thinking. What better place is there to experiment than the summer league? Sometimes players will display skills that they may not have shown in college.

    2025 WNBA Season

    Not even close. There have been great players, but none who have drawn half the interest she has generated....

    2025 WNBA Season

    She is drawing in fans that wouldn't watch if she weren't playing. She is helping the entire league reap benefits from her popularity. Her market value probably exceeds the rest of the league combined at this point.....

    I hear you!! I'm sure us old Sooners have forgotten a few over the years. Not even sure why I remembered Gandy. I was a youngster and I remember my Dad being excited about him after listening to Tubbs talk about him on KTOK radio station one Friday evening. Tubbs talked about how good of an...

    Thank you!! Looking at Soonerstats, he played in 13 games in 83, and 15 in 84. Like I said, he didn't contribute much, but he did have a couple of high flying dunks that I remember.

    I believe Gandy was a Juco guy. He wore goggles and I remember my Dad saying how odd looking he was, lol.... He never did anything significant, but everyone raved about his dunks and alley-oops during practice. I'm not even sure he completed a full season. If he did, it was probably his only...

    It's certainly a battle with Denver. Watching Jokic/Murray in the two-man game when it counts is a thing of perfection. I thought OKC relied on the ISO game with Shai to much late in the 4th and OT, and he wasn't having one of his better nights. They play so well when they move the ball, and...

    The Tubbs years had some amazing athletes who were just OK basketball players. Shawn Clark at the time we signed him, had one of the highest vertical jumps in the nation. Another very average player, but high flyer was Don Gandy. Calvin Pierce was very athletic for a power forward. Those are...

    Those are the same guys who have REPORTED the Lakers will add Giannis this summer, trade for Jokic, add Kyrie, and bring back Phil Jackson to coach.... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:They are one of many Laker pages that specialize in click bait.

    I might add Gordon's three-pointer broke a tie I was in on Draftkings, in their big $1 entry NBA tournament. I finished 2nd and won a cool $600 on a $1 ticket. Not a bad night!!! I hit for $150 a few nights ago on a 25cent baseball ticket.

    I hear you, brother. I hear a lot of his critics saying he only does it for recognition, and the old tax write-off, etc My question to them is, why don't more athletes/entertainers do it, and don't all millionaires/billionaires use charity for a tax write-off? Obviously, none of us knows the...

    It's a public school, so yes, taxpayers fund a good portion of it. LBJ provides free meals, uniforms, and transportation through his Foundation. He also footed the start-up costs. Philanthropy is the act of donating time, money, or resources to help improve the well-being of others or society...
