Never give up on your dreams. There's a guy on the Lakers who was in the G-League at 40 years old and now he's playing with the real team! 🙏

By my maths, the NBA's 14 millionth point is going to be scored in the next 20 minutes.

When Will the NBA's Fourteen Millionth Point Be Scored?
Fans of NBA schedule math will no doubt no be eagerly awaiting not only when the 14 million point target will fall, but also, who will do it.

Understanding the format and rules to an all star game shouldn’t feel like trying to solve an SAT problem
So to sum up the All-Star Game selection process this season:

24 All-Stars
12 from each conference
Positions don't matter
16 US players
8 World players
2 US teams
1 World team
8 players per team
If there are not enough US or World players then Adam Silver will select more to fill out the teams.
Looks like NBA just revealed the All-Star Game format this season. Two teams of American players and one World team. Same selection process for the All-Stars but they will not be picked based on position. So positionless All-Stars selections.

If your team gives up a 5-0 run, you may be hoping your coach calls a timeout

But does it actually help?

Tennessee is up by just a point, 18-17 after one quarter.

UT Martin is 4-for-5 from three early. Talaysia Cooper leads all scorers with seven points.

Bettye Giles, who recruited Pat Summitt to play for the Skyhawks, was just honored at the quarter break.

Good afternoon from Martin, Tennessee where No. 8 Tennessee travels to face UT Martin in the Pat Summitt Heritage Classic.

It’s the first trip to Martin for the Lady Vols since Summitt brought her undefeated 1997-98 national championship team to the Elam Center.

I sure hope Valero had to pay to sponsor it for that kind of ad placement!

Bracketology is back! The reigning champs headline the preseason No. 1 seed, with the top line echoing last year’s Final 4. The SEC leads with six hosts, while the ACC and Big Ten crowd the bubble. Don’t sleep on the Ivy and A-10 as multi-bid threats.
