Excellent moment to open up the Spurs/Raptors game. They let the 24 second shot clock run out to open up the game in honor of Kobe Bryant.
Both teams opened up the game by running out the 24 second shot clock.

Kobe Bryant donated millions to charities and funds after retirement, coached his daughter and her friends, gave advice to many across the NBA, spent time with many high school basketball players, etc.
Could list so many amazing things this man has done. This one will hurt.

Florida State is going to be just fine.

Mac McClung announces he will transfer to Lubbock and Texas Tech. If able to land himself a waiver to play right away, the trio of Nimari Burnett, McClung, and Shannon Jr. plus returners and incoming class, scary.

The Knicks just made an incredible value pick on Kevin McCullar Jr. with the 56th pick. Battled injury this year and had a shot at the first-round if he didn’t face that set back. I’m told Knicks brass has been enamored with McCullar and interest dates back to last year.

Sounds crazy, but, Jayden Epps was an absolute steal for Brad Underwood and the Illini. Talk about an elite scorer and consistency? That’s Epps. Crazy to call a Top-70 recruit a steal, but, his ranking should be higher and does no justice.
