The way Edwards tilts the floor reminds me of the early Harden days in Houston.
Obviously completely different players, but the way the defense shifts to Edwards and Ant makes the right pass to lead to the open man is elite. – 9:51 PM

Plus, Tatum did more than just enough to finally reach the 3,000-point scoring plateau in the playoffs and join his childhood basketball idol Kobe Bryant and Los Angeles Lakers superstar forward LeBron James in an extremely exclusive all-time club (via StatMuse). “Players with over 3,000 playoff points before turning 27 years old: Kobe, LeBron, Tatum.

“I don’t want to say I was depressed, because depression is its own thing, but whatever is under depression,” Durant said. “There was something mentally that was going on. That’s a dark place. We all think we’re these god-like beings. I couldn’t tell the future. I didn’t know what the f— was next. I didn’t know how I was going to look or feel or play.” He thought of Kobe. “When Kobe went through his, I just thought, ‘There’s no f—ing way that Superman tore his Achilles,” Durant said. “You never think it could happen to players like Kobe Bryant or even to me. It’s just such a career-ending injury.” -via ESPN / April 26, 2024
