When [Kyrie Irving] said that he wasn't going to stay in a contract extension this summer with Boston, that is because if he waits until next year, he can get $80 million extra from Boston.
Big CatLeBron James playing all 82 games at age 33 is highly suspicious
LeBron James, 33 years old, 15 years in the league, played all 82 games. Seems like his durability's going up at 33. Most athletes, their durability goes down. [Implying HGH use].
Connect The Dots
PFT CommenterBarry Trotz is not a great coach and got lucky winning the Stanley Cup
