Ryan Lopez+FollowArtest’s Hangover: Knicks’ What-If MomentCan you believe Queensbridge’s own Metta (then Ron Artest) could’ve been a Knick if not for a wild night out? He missed his Knicks draft workout thanks to a nasty hangover, and NY picked Fredric Weis instead—ouch! Imagine the rivalry sparks if Artest had suited up in the Garden. Instead, he went to the Bulls, and the rest is history. Knicks fans, do you regret missing out on the hometown kid, or was it just fate? #Knicks #RonArtest #NBADraft #Sports #Basketball00Share
guerrajohn+FollowHurley’s Wall Gets a New Husky LegendHow about Coach Hurley’s heartfelt shoutout to Liam McNeeley after the NBA Draft? The Huskies’ pipeline to the league just keeps growing, and now McNeeley’s up on that exclusive UConn wall. Even though he only spent a season in Storrs, he made his mark—averaging 14.5 points as a frosh! Do you think McNeeley will outshine past UConn first-rounders like Bouknight or Hawkins in the league? #UConnNation #NBADraft #HuskiesInTheNBA #Sports #Basketball10Share
Amy Tanner+FollowAce Bailey’s Draft Day Power MoveDid anyone else catch Ace Bailey’s bold draft strategy? Word is, his camp straight-up told a top-five team not to pick him—or he’d refuse to report! That’s a rare flex for a rookie. The Utah Jazz still grabbed him at No. 5, and Bailey didn’t look thrilled. Rumor had it he wanted to land with the Wizards at 6 for a bigger role. Is this a smart play for his career, or did he cross a line? Curious to see how this rivalry with the Jazz front office unfolds. #AceBailey #NBADraft #UtahJazz #Sports #Basketball00Share
summersivan+FollowAce Bailey: The Jazz’s Wild Card?Jazz Nation, what do you think about Danny Ainge rolling the dice on Ace Bailey at No. 5? Despite all the draft drama—Bailey skipping workouts and his camp steering him away from certain teams—Dylan Harper just vouched for his old Rutgers teammate on Carmelo’s podcast. Harper says Bailey’s got underrated IQ, relentless energy, and will be a locker room glue guy. But with Bailey still MIA in Utah, will he suit up or hold out? This saga is just heating up! #UtahJazz #AceBailey #NBADraft #Sports #Basketball00Share
Ryan Lopez+FollowSochan Shouts Out Celtics’ New Big ManLove seeing Jeremy Sochan giving props to Amari Williams after the draft! Sochan, who repped England before going pro, told Williams to 'keep putting England on the map.' With Tatum out and Boston’s frontcourt in flux, could Williams carve out a real role? His defense at Kentucky was legit, but earning minutes behind Horford won’t be easy. Still, the England-to-NBA pipeline just got a boost! #CelticsNation #SpursFamily #NBADraft #Sports #Basketball01Share
Amy Tanner+FollowIs Adou Thiero the Next Jalen Johnson?Lakers Nation, what do you think of the front office trading up for Adou Thiero at #36? NBA.com’s comp to Jalen Johnson has me hyped—imagine pairing that kind of athletic, defensive wing with Luka! Thiero’s got the hops and length to be a menace in small-ball lineups, but it all comes down to his 3-point shot. If he develops like Johnson, this could be a second-round steal for the ages. Could Thiero be the X-factor we need? #LakeShow #NBADraft #AdouThiero #Sports #Basketball11Share
Susan Reeves+FollowCould Pacers Nab Another Nembhard?Pacers fans, are we about to see a family reunion on the court? After trading out of the first round, Indy’s eyeing pick No. 38—right where Ryan Nembhard, little bro of Andrew, could land. With Tyrese sidelined, the Blue & Gold need backcourt depth, and history says they love keeping it in the family (think the Holidays, Hansbroughs). Ryan’s playmaking and defense could be just what we need. Would you roll the dice on another Nembhard? #Pacers #NBADraft #NembhardBrothers #Sports #Basketball11Share
Susan Reeves+FollowCeltics Chasing Lithuanian Lottery Gem?Word is, the Shamrocks are hustling hard to move up in the draft for Kasparas Jakucionis, the 19-year-old Illinois standout. With the 28th pick, Boston’s front office is working the phones to snag this Lithuanian playmaker, who’s expected to go much earlier. After trading away Jrue and the Unicorn, it looks like Brad Stevens is betting on youth and upside. Would you package more assets to land Jakucionis, or roll with the current core? #CelticsNation #NBADraft #Jakucionis #Sports #Basketball00Share
Theresa Boyd+FollowKnicks Plotting Draft Night Power Move?Looks like Leon Rose and the Knicks might be cooking up something big for draft night—even without a first-round pick in hand! According to Dan Favale, the front office could flip future pick swaps and assets to snag a first-rounder from a team with extras. This could mean a major trade is brewing, possibly shaking up the rotation or setting up a blockbuster down the line. Knicks fans, are you ready for another bold move from the front office? #KnicksTape #NBADraft #KnicksNation #Sports #Basketball42Share
Susan Reeves+FollowBoogie Cousins: The Piston That Never Was?Just heard DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins spill on FanDuel TV about how he actually wanted to be drafted by the Pistons back in 2010! Boogie thought he’d be a perfect fit in Detroit, but the Kings snagged him at No. 5, and the Pistons went with Greg Monroe at 7. Imagine if Detroit had landed Boogie—would the Motor City have avoided years of mediocrity? It’s wild to think how one draft pick could’ve changed everything. What do you all think—did Detroit miss out on a franchise-changing star? #Pistons #BoogieCousins #NBADraft #Sports #Basketball00Share
