Tracy McGradyOne-on-one basketball is the true, pure essence of the sport
One-on-one is the true essence of basketball. There's one-on-one and five on five, true matchups, but one-on-ones the true pure essence of basketball. I mean, we all grew up playing one-on-one.

Big CatReturning to the NBA Finals is the crowning achievement for the Warriors' core
This feels like the crowning achievement for this group, to be able to go back there [the NBA Finals] after all the injuries, after KD came and left after guys are in and out and they've rebuilt themselves with that core of Klay, Steph and Draymond, and Steve Kerr there.
PFT CommenterThe Warriors would have made eight straight NBA Finals if not for injuries
I'm willing to make a giant excuse for the Warriors for the two out of the eight years that they did not make the finals. It's all because of injuries. Like the Warriors should have been in the finals eight years in a row.
PFT CommenterIf the Warriors rebound the ball well, they cannot be beaten
I feel like if they rebound, they can't be beat. And low-key, the Warriors are pretty good rebounding team. They're not the soft Warriors that people used to hate on a few years ago. I think they were like top five or top six in the NBA and rebounds this year.

New York Knicks. It's the Knicks for me, their toughness, their grid and they have a guy that can match up with SGA in terms of being able to score, being a finisher, being able to close the games in Jalen Brunson... out of all the teams, I think that's a great matchup.
Tracy McGradyKeep an eye on the Portland Trailblazers as a team on the rise next year
I say watch out for the Portland Trailblazers man. I think they're putting something special together over there. They had a phenomenal season... I like Portland next year to be a team that we'll be talking about. I'm not saying they're gonna be on the OKC San Antonio level. But they are a team that is surgeon that we should keep an eye on.
Tracy McGradyKyrie Irving's skill set is so advanced it would be difficult for prime LeBron James to guard him one-on-one
Kyrie will be tough for LeBron to even guard in his prime. Right. We haven't really seen Kyrie skillset. We've seen snippets, but it's hard to really, really display your ultimate skillset in a five-on-five setting.
