July 30, 20223 yr lol, he just scored, then screamed, "YYEEAAAHHHH!" then turned to camera and emphasized it with, "NIGGA!" lol
July 30, 20223 yr Crazy that one of the dudes on his team played in that St. V St. M game that got televised on ESPN back in 02. Also some good backstory: Even with a $1 million prize at stake, J'Covan Brown and his teammates are playing for a greater cause in a nationally-televised basketball tournament. Brown, a Port Arthur native with a decade worth of professional experience, is competing for Autism Army in The Basketball Tournament. It's an open-application, single-elimination event played each summer in cites throughout the country and broadcast on ESPN. For Autism Army, the tournament takes on a special meaning. Three players on the team, including Brown, have a child diagnosed with autism. Brown said its important to show those children, and others on the spectrum, that they're not alone. "It means a lot that a group of guys can come together and help fight something like autism," Brown said. "It's good to get out here and show people that we're fighting with them every step of the way."

July 30, 20223 yr Americana for Autism to the final! Next game will determine who they play - Red Scare - former Dayton players - is the crowd favorite as they're playing in Dayton. BTW - that was a fantastic basketball game. I'd recommend y'all try and tune in for the championship game. The Elam ending is intense.
August 3, 20223 yr Fun run for J'Covan and crew but they aren't beating this team. Down 14 at half. One of them has his special-needs kid sitting on the bench with them. How do you not root for them (unless you're a Buffalo fan)?

October 21, 20223 yr damn, it appears that LA's older brother unexpectedly died at the age of 42. terrible news. stay up LA. 🤘🏼

November 23, 20223 yr Courtney Ramey is lighting it up at Arizona early in the season. They should be a fun team this year. Another talent unfulfilled under Shaka.
December 2, 20223 yr Damn, Corey Joseph is still playing in the NBA! Always felt like Bradley and Joseph never got the respect they deserved while in Austin.
January 31, 20232 yr Quote The Pacers have signed center Myles Turner to a two-year, $60 million contract with $17.1 million added to his 2022-23 salary bringing it to approximately $35.1 million according to a report from The Athletic.on Saturday afternoon. A league source confirmed to the IndyStar that an agreement was reached. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Turner will be paid approximately $20.9 million in 2023-24 and $19.9 million in 2024-25, but the additional money he will make this year brings up the total average. Renegotiations such as the one the Pacers did with Turner are extremely rare but was possible because the Pacers were so far under the salary cap. Turner has been the source of trade speculation as his four-year contract worth approximately $18 million per year was set to run out at the end of the season. This deal may not fully quell trade rumors. He's still eligible to be traded before the deadline on Feb. 9. However, it at least assures that if the Pacers don't trade him, they cannot lose him for nothing at the end of this season. The deal is team friendly for the Pacers because Turner won't take up an exorbitant amount of cap space the next two seasons. If he is paid $20.9 million as reported in 2023-24, that would take up less than 16% of a salary cap projected to be at $134 million. He will take up even less space of the cap in 2024-25 by which time the Pacers will be looking at an extension for Haliburton, who would be at the end of his four-year rookie deal. And if Turner and the Pacers decide to pursue a trade, his new contract makes him a more attractive asset and easier to move to a desired location for a better return. Turner is in the midst of his most productive season as a professional, averaging 17.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, both career highs. He also has career bests in field goal percentage (.544), 3-point field goal percentage (.391) and effective field goal percentage (.611). Part of the reason he has been so effective is for the first time in years he's been able to focus solely on the center position. Before the Pacers traded Domantas Sabonis to the Kings for Tyrese Haliburton and Buddy Hield last February, Sabonis was playing the 5 while Turner was frequently playing power forward along side him. "He's been itching to play the five," Pacers lead assistant coach Lloyd Pierce said Saturday. "What that means and what it does is it puts him into the action in terms of setting screens, being in trail, reversing the ball through him. Any player knows when they get to touch the basketball, whether they're shooting it, passing it or just reversing it, it just engages their mind a little bit. We're seeing him finish at the rim. We're seeing him get more shots at the rim this year. We're seeing him make a concerted effort to get offensive rebounds, especially against teams that switch and he's got a smaller guy on him. But I think he's embracing the role. I think he's embracing the physical nature that we need from him." Its hard to believe the dude is still only 26. I read somewhere else recently that he is now the longest tenured player on the pacers roster.
