An incredibly memorable night covering Jayson Tatumโs return to the court after 299 days.
The NBA is better with him on the court. The Celtics are going to be even more lethal.
What a night ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ๐๐ฝ

This dude is like the neighbor who borrows your hammer or ball and he uses it soooo much you have to โborrowโ it back ๐

Friday: Celtics vs Mavs in both Jayson Tatum's and Cooper Flaggs Return at 8:00pm EST
Saturday Primetime: Golden State vs OKC on ABC at 8:30pm EST
Thankful to be on the call tomorrow night on ESPN for Jayson Tatumโs potential return.
I know all the painful details surrounding his rehab. What a journey. Miss Brandy,Justin and Drew,Nick. What a team effort.
Just making sure. โ๐ฝ
Itโs a travesty he doesnโt get more MVP hype.
When I did the LA Clippers vs Minnesota game on ESPN a couple weeks ago I came in air and said โEdwards is the best player in the NBAโ.
He wins,gets 30 a night and has straps on defense. MVPs should be able to defend.
Narrative makers donโt get that๐ฏ
๐ฏ
Facts ๐ฏ. Come a long way from lunch trays and eatinโ rice. Ya dig๐
Iโll be watchinโ. Fasho.๐
I wanna see with announcers have actually spoken to players for new stories and info.
Most of they $hit be stepped on๐
I love the idea. ๐ฏ
Kings Fans..
Kayte & I were supposed to call tonightโs game between Phoenix vs Sacramento NBCSportsCa
But Peacock/NBC decided to make it a national exclusive instead of a side by side.
So my wife and I going to pull up and watch on tv while we lose ourselves in delicious Chinese food & vino. ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ
The basketball gods and stars finally aligned and I finally had the chance to chop it up with @clairempls.bsky.social tonight at the Kings at Lakers game.
Iโm naturally drawn to her writing talent because of her unique ability to detail the compelling human experience in players ๐๐ฝ

I hate when people calling games on tv give me factory made info from the media guide. Or cold reheated stats and stale stories.
Maybe you actually talk to the players for some info that wasnโt written last week๐ฏ
Yโall stories be stepped on.
Bones Hyland Revenge Game.
I can tell you for a fact that in Denver..Hyland had good solid vets like Jeff Green advocating for him to get more run.
Never happened.
In Minnesota..I can tell you for a fact that Edwards advocates for Bones to get some tick..and it happened. Bones is a bucket ๐

Nike..itโs Mark Jones. Attribution please. Game 2..2018 playoffs..Cavs at Raptors. This is the birth of LebrontoโฆMy in game masterpiece inspired by Jamesโ ethereal 3rd qtr.
Youโre welcome. Should I invoice you ?.https://youtube.com/watch?v=5bZYmChYgUI
Best player in the NBA. About 30ppg. Lockdown defender.
AmazingโฆI love how revealing Anthony Edwards is in his interviews. He explained after he hit the dagger 3..
โcoach Finch told me to pass the ball on the previous possession..(not shoot) so after I made the shot I told him โyou donโt want me to passโ โ๐
Heโs Must see tv. Best player in the game. ๐ฏ
Nike needs to pay me for LeBronto which was my masterpiece when he was torching Toronto in the playoffs.
I called the game with Hubie Brown.
Courtside after the game Maverick Carter,LeBronโs agent asked me what I said about Lebron because it was going viral.

WNBA Viewership: 960,000+ per game.

Pay the WNBA players and keep it movin๐ฐ
Rewatching Spurs vs Kings.
Loved how Doug Christie is catalyzing growth in Keegan Murray.
In the first quarter alone Murray made the initial catch,received the initial touch offensively 8 times.
It resulted in 10 first qtr pts for Murray.
Off of โelbowโ and โwideโ โquickโ actions. ๐๐ฝ
Maaannnn. ๐. Iโve spent the majority of my life in the USA. Iโm an American citizen.
