Good morning. Let’s basketball.
Good morning. Let’s REALLY preview the NBA Finals.
That and more in Wednesday’s NBA newsletter.
LET’S FINALS CONTENT.
Our big NBA Finals preview has dropped. Invite it out to dinner. It includes Paul Flannery on the evolution of superstars and the transition from LeBron to Curry. It has Mike Prada’s breakdown on how the Warriors should defend LeBron. It has Ricky O’Donnell on how Draymond Green gave Golden State its bite. It has Rodger Sherman on David Blatt’s easy, impossible job description. And it has me on this being LeBron’s toughest finals foe ever. It has more. And it’s pretty. Shout-out to Graham MacAree. Check it out.
Why Delonte West is rooting for LeBron and the Cavs. This Chris Haynes piece made me smile. Save your 4-year-old jokes, please.
How would today’s finals stars have fared in generations gone by? (Slideshow alert.)
AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ...
TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.: Paul Pierce may opt out of his deal with the Wizards, not to retire, but to join the Clippers.
NEAT: Monty Williams will be Billy Donovan’s top assistant in OKC. He has a really good relationship with Kevin Durant.
MOCK DRAFT! Chad Ford’s sixth mock draft is out.
THAT’S SO HARVARD: Famous lawyer/Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz is suing TD Garden three years after he slipped on the bathroom floor at a Celtics game. He says the arena didn’t provide enough paper towels. Because surely the bathroom floor would have been in flawless condition if only men had access to paper towels. Right.
IT’S TIME FOR THE MAYOR: Jon Greenberg assesses how Fred Hoiberg’s style preferences will change the Bulls.
HOLY SMOKES: The complete Dallas Mavericks free agency primer.
Happy Wednesday. One day left. Well, like practically two days, but you know. See you next time.
