🏒 Obviously the correct outcome to root for here is Draisaitl hat trick in an 11-3 USA win 🏒

Alright USA, let's outcurl these assholes!

"Where would you say the cut off of New Jersey is?"

Dylan Harper had to ask the hard-hitting questions about his home state of New Jersey to fellow Jersey-born Knicks players, Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson 😂

Hawks game against Milwaukee on Mar 14 is getting the boot from national TV on Amazon so they can show the mighty Hornets against San Antonio. Atlanta game time unchanged. Adjust your plans accordingly.

LAX is an improper airport.
SFO is a proper airport. Might be the one megahub I prefer to ATL.

Ending on a #Quack2 is exactly what this dunk contest deserved.

Has anyone ended up in concussion protocol as a result of the dunk contest before? Asking for a friend.

Feel like we are much closer to a Team Wisconsin than a Team Duke with this group.
Up next, the Shooting Stars competition, starring proud Duke alumnus Jalen Johnson representing "Team Cameron"

There is only one Team Cameron

For those doing Intuit Dome concessions this weekend - Korean susshi dog is definitely the go-to. Others are pretty meh imho.

LOL Booker made his first nine but couldnt close it on the final rack.

Dame Time!!!
Dame!!! Made 14 of his first 16!!!! Huge number (29) for Booker to try to beat.
Dame!! Made seven of his last eight to knock out Spida Mitchell. It's Knueppel, Lillard, and Booker in final round.

If this was a third-person competiion and not a 3- point competition, Bobby Portis Jr. would have been a strong favorite.

Annnnnnddd we're hooping. ... Kon Knueppel scorching with 27 in first round of 3 pt competition
