The NBA Dribbled Out

Kevin Durant: What a Mensch

Pray for all the friends and families of the victims in the tornado destruction that ravaged the ground of “Tornado Alley” in Oklahoma yesterday.

Also, go here to donate, if you can.

“Michael was more likely to break through his attackers with power and strength, while Kobe often tries to finesse his way through mass pileups. Michael was stronger, with bigger shoulders and a sturdier frame. He also had large hands that allowed him to control the ball better and make subtle fakes. Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn’t going his way. When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game”

Phil Jackson

As if Kobe needed any more fuel to come back from his torn Achilles tendon more driven to succeed than ever, now he has Phil’s Book for when he’s getting tired during rehab. 

I’m pretty sure Kobe’s capable of anything now. Absolutely anything

The Memphis Grizzlies just eliminated the Oklahoma City Thunder—missing Russ—to reach their first Western Conference Final in team history. 
YEAHHH BUDDY for the Grit ‘n Grind crew, but I’m already missing KD’s smooth jumper.
