Steve Francis+FollowCooper Flagg Exploded for 35 as Mavs Beat Clippers 114–110Rookie phenom Cooper Flagg just had the best game of his young career, exploding for 35 points in the Mavericks’ 114–110 win over the Clippers. Flagg was everywhere — efficient scoring, attacking all night, and looking completely comfortable against veteran defenders. And when the game tightened up, Klay Thompson took over, scoring 17 of his 23 points in the 4th quarter to close it out. Dallas was shorthanded, but Flagg’s energy and Klay’s veteran shot-making made the difference.

James Allen+FollowSteve Ballmer accused of secretly paying Kawhi Leonard through a third partyAccording to a new lawsuit filed by 11 investors in Aspiration, Clippers owner Steve Ballmer allegedly used the financial firm to funnel money to Kawhi Leonard — effectively paying him beyond the NBA’s salary cap limits. The complaint claims Ballmer channeled funds through Aspiration to secretly reward Kawhi for re-signing with the Clippers, while also keeping the company afloat and buying the silence of co-founder Joe Sanberg, who allegedly helped set up the deal. If proven true, this would be one of the biggest salary-cap circumvention scandals in NBA history. So far, neither Ballmer nor Leonard has commented. #NBA #Clippers #SteveBallmer #KawhiLeonard #LosAngeles #Microsoft #SportsNews 131Share
Pamela Owens+FollowIs Blake Griffin a Hall of Famer?Blake’s career is one of the more complicated cases. Peak Blake was a monster: Lob City headliner 6× All-Star 5× All-NBA Rookie of the Year One of the best in the league for a solid stretch. Literally changed how power forwards played — transition handles, playmaking, above-the-rim showtime. He also had a top-3 MVP finish in 2014 and was the best player in some deep Clippers runs (when CP3 was injured). By contrast, his decline was steep. Injuries took away the explosives. Plus, he never made a conference finals. So, in your opinion, is he a HOFer? #NBA #BlakeGriffin #HallOfFame #LobCity #Clippers #Sports 33Share
