pretty sure Damon Stoudamire did that too when he was a Jailblazer, wrapped it up in tinfoil for some reason, maybe set off a metal detector?
also, i originally read your post as D'Antoni rather than D'angelo, lol

The Lakers are proceeding toward an offer to Ty Lue in the coming days.

They have no plans to introduce new candidates into the head coaching search process, league sources tell @ramonashelburne and @wojespn.

Vick did it too. Like holy **** at guys using the #1 thing they won't allow through security. From what I know it isn't hard to sneak a small amount of bud onto a plane. They got bigger fish to fry.

Prob the opposite actually. Media panders now to youngs and olds and not really the 30s crowd who was old enough to watch prime Dwight. Plus his window of dominance was short.

He ended up injured and hated, so he's gonna get downplayed.

Yeah Prime Dwight + 3 point shooters was a team ahead of its time.

Prime Dwight was so damn good. The issues are:

1. Due to the back injury the length of prime was short.

2. It's a large city but a small sports market for the media to care. Kind of how we've been chatting a bit about KL in Toronto not getting the media spotlight as much as others this postseason.

3. When he went to a big market (LAL) he was a let down despite putting up respectable numbers so that was what most people remember from pre-decline Dwight.



You also have to factor in that he came off as really fake and unlikable once he started pushing for Stan to be fired so people also have no reason to view him with rose colored glasses. He was pretty damn sick when he carried that team to the finals though.

Fwiw, Raps -1.5 for gm 4. Oddsmakers giving Philly no respect in this series. They opened like +180 and were bet all the way up to +280 before game 1.
It’s true it’s risky but when you’re in the sixers spot I think it’s something you likely have to do. Good enough but due to mistakes like fultz not gonna be good enough or time to wait to find another star through the draft. I have hope both will re-sign, despite being wanted fas they are still in the non premier tier of fa due to age or ability.

I can see how the markets haven’t adjusted yet but I guess they’ll assume raptors will bounce back. They’re gonna need to find significant contributions beyond kawhi and siakam. With that being said, I’m not a huge fan of afternoon weekend games. The first two for the sixers, they’ve looked hung over against the nets.

Whoever wins game 4 will win the series. I still like Toronto. Kawhi is going to play 46 minutes tmrw and carry toronto like Lebron carried the cavs
