One year ago, Rob Pelinka held a very emotional speech at the memorial service in honor of Kobe and Gigi 🙏

Even in his final moments, Kobe was pushing and championing young women to expand their horizons 🙌

LaMarcus Aldridge has signed with the Brooklyn Nets!

Imagine telling someone 5 years ago all of these guys would be on the same team now - This KD statement hits differently now.

2010, Thunder: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, James Harden

2016, Warriors: Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green

2021, Nets: Kevin Durant, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan  A lot has changed, for sure.

Magic! 🎩🔥

ESPN BPI predicted that the Thunder only had a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs. Thanks to Chris Paul's leadership and the contributions by the rest of the Thunder squad, they exceeded expectations by making the playoffs and wound up taking the Rockets to 7 games in a tight first round series. Despite the series loss, Chris Paul has much to be proud of for bringing life to this Thunder team.

Kobe’s advice to Kuz: “So teams say, ‘O.K., I know Kyle likes to do this.’ All right, that’s great, that’s awesome. Now stop it. Now a team makes you do something else, and you have a counter to that predictable move, and when they cut off that counter, you have a counter to that counter. But first you have to be predictable, because it not only gets you a sense of stability, night in and night out, but it also gets your teammates a sense of stability.” (Via Chris Ballard)

Kuz gave Kobe something to smile about 😊
