Good morning. LeBron is just the worst, isn’t he?

Good morning. Let’s basketball.

THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING: The 2015 NBA Finals in Dragon Ball Z GIFs.

STAR BITES COACH, NEWS AT 11: All the talk of the basketball world is centering on Marc Stein’s story on how LeBron disrespected David Blatt repeatedly in the NBA Finals, and how that’s a problem. I’ll have thoughts in The Hook, but suffice it say I’m not terribly concerned with the feelings of a coach who just rode one player to the cusp of a championship. And now I give the floor to Professor Yago Colas.

SPEAKING OF WHICH ... Both LeBron and Kevin Love are expected to opt out. No reason to panic on the former, but ...

11 EASY STEPS: Golden State of Mind has 11 easy steps to become the Warriors.

9 AMAZING MOMENTS: Listing up the top moments of the Warriors’ wonder season.

OH MY GOSH: Mario Hezonja is said to be the cockiest draft prospect in recent memory. They were not kidding. This dude tried to show up Messi!

KARL TOWNS AND THE REVOLUTION: Spectacular piece by Key Dae at Canis Hoopus tracing the origins of modern NBA philosophy to Kevin Garnett and Mike D’Antoni, then showing how Karl-Anthony Towns can take the madness a step further.

WITH OR WITHOUT KOBE: Mitch Kupchak is pretty clearly saying that the team is no longer considering Kobe’s presence at all when making personnel decisions. Good.

ALL HAIL THE U19 TEAM: USA Basketball’s under-19 squad is incredible and portends a strong future for Team USA, writes Ricky O’Donnell.

THIS IS HOW YOU REDESIGN UNIFORMS! The Sixers unveiled their new kits. Reactions were quite more positive than they were for the Clippers.

MATRIX UNLOADED: Shawn Marion officially retires. Hall of Fame.

TO RECAP: DeMarcus Cousins is great.

GREENBACK: Jeff Green picked up his player option for $9 million. This is neither good nor bad for Memphis, because Jeff Green is unquantifiable.

IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE IT’S TRUE: Steve Ballmer and Blake Griffin did a Funny Or Die spoof showing how bad Ballmer is at logo design. Whoops.

WELP: No one seems to be that interested in Ty Lawson. (By the way, a trash rumor I won’t link here indicated a potential DeMarcus Cousins for Lawson and Kenneth Faried swap. People who consider themselves reporters really need to get help for their glue-sniffing habits.)

NOT GREAT, BOB: A reporter says David Blatt will resign on the air. That’s quite inaccurate.

ALRIGHT: If you’re following the Benson family saga in New Orleans, in which there is a dispute over whom will control the Pelicans and Saints if patriarch Tom dies, the courts struck a blow to his children on Thursday.

INTERESTING: Sports teams seem to be most likely to hook lifetime male fans if they are winning when those male fans are 8 years old.

ALWAYS ENJOYABLE AND LOL-WORTHY: Ryen Russillo talks to scouts about the top of the draft class.

Happy Friday. See you next time, which will be Monday.
