Kyrie has been hot and cold so far thru his career. he's shown enough flashes of brilliance that I think he's worth the money. I'm not sure playing on a young team like Cleveland with the issues they had was great for him, nor is playing next to Dion Waiters.

we forget that he's 22 yrs old, the same age as someone like Shabazz or Doug McDermott.

[Whittness10]

I've only seen him play a few times, and it seems like he took a very high percentage of the teams shots. Last season the Cavs really didn't have anyone to compliment him. They have Waiters, but I wasn't too sure about him. I think if he had 1 or 2 more players to lighten up the load and help open things up, he would be a much more productive player. Having Wiggins will already help him whether Lebron comes back to Cleveland or not.

I honestly cant envision Lebron not wearing a Heat jersey next year let alone going back to Cleveland.

Its not that I am saying it cant happen as he can easily go anywhere but for a player of his caliber to possibly be on his 3rd team in his career at such a young age if he didnt go back to Cleveland would be unheard of.

Hello, Joe Harris.....championship!

Channing Frye to the Magic... another of the 2k bombers

My son's daycare is in downtown Orlando next to the hotel of the opponents of the Magic so I see random players all the time walking the sidewalks or boarding the bus.

Today I hit the Starbucks next to the school and ran into Brian Cook. I vaguely remember him but he was a cool guy and we just chatted a couple minutes while we waited for our coffee. He looked a little old to be in a summer league but he said he is trying to make a comeback or something.

Cool random morning encounter.

I've never heard of Brian Cook, completely surprised, in awe really that you actually recognized and knew who he was

[Cnasty]

He was wearing his summer league jersey so I googled his number after I left.

He was with another guy but no jersey on. Summer league is more lax I am thinking

[shel311]

Wearing their summer league jerseys around their hotel, what are they, 13 year olds?

[Cnasty]

Yea it was pretty funny.

Its not every morning you see a 6'10 NBA dude wandering around in his intramural type jerseys at Starbucks

[texasfan4444]

Too bad you didn't have your UFHealth jersey on, you could of switched them in Starbucks. FIFA style.

[Whittness10]

I'm pretty sure that guy played at Illinois back in the day

[DRiccio21]

he played at Illinois and was definitely on one of our rosters in the 2k league.

[Cnasty]

He did fit that mold of 6'9+ type guys nailing 3s in that game so yea.

This is the equivalent of a hospital worker donning their full scrubs in public

I do that when I need to make a stop on the way home. Should I not be doing this??

Source tells @sheridanhoops there's a 90% chance LeBron James is returning to CLE and it'll be announced on his site:


also take it for what its worth, but the rumor is Nike is buying up a lot of billboard space in Cleveland
