Kolek planning to go pro
Bud extended by 3 years. Made me eat a lot of crow this past year.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

IIRC, she did the Marquette-Murray State NCAA tournament game in 2019.
She's done a few BEast games. I really haven't heard enough of her to make a judgement one way or the other.
Hope she duzant pull a Rachel Nichols, aina?
It was Carter Blackburn and Debbie Antonelli.
Andrew Wiggins says he’ll only get vaccinated if he’s forced to. San Francisco requires all participants and spectators at indoor events to be vaccinated.So either that will be enough to “force” him to get vaccinated… or he will skip all of the Warriors’ home games.
Does anyone know if Kyrie Irving is refusing to get vaccinated because he had COVID before? I can't imagine he'll just pay close to $500K per home game missed. But it will help the Buck repeat
The NBA is planning to crack down on "foul hunting" -- a shooter getting a defender up in the air and then moving forward into the defender's downward path to draw a foul.In other words, basically Rowsey's "The Thing."It's long overdue, and I hope they really enforce it rather than give it a go during the exhibition season and then forget about it once the season starts. As a Marquette fan, I loved it when Rowsey would get 4-point plays or 3 FTs. At the same time, I also felt it was unfair that defenders were penalized for going straight up and down on shot fakes. It wasn't Rowsey's "fault." All he was doing was taking advantage of the refs giving him the calls. Same with all the NBA players. Now, there is a rule against it in the NBA. Those who do "The Thing" not only will not get the call, they will be called for a foul themselves -- the same way a shooter who kicks out his leg is supposed to be called for an offensive foul.If the NBA is successful at enforcing it, expect it to be enforced in college and high school ball soon, too. It's common sense.
It doesn't matter if he had COVID before.
That's not what he asked though. He's not saying "he shouldn't have to" if that was the case, just wondering if he gave a reason.Im getting more and more the vibe of Kyrie pulling a Barry Sanders and walking away as a star in his prime. He's made $160MM in salary, not including another $35MM this year, plus $15MM+ a year the last few years from Nike cause his shoes are insanely popular. He's an odd duck and I can see him just walking away to go pursue a bunch of other stuff. Always struck me as someone who is a prodigy but never LOVED basketball like some of the greats. Also, I like Kyrie a lot and have always thought he was misunderstood but him being an anti-vaxxer is one of the least surprising things ever. He'd basically be in the first 5 NBA players named if you asked who would be vax holdouts in the league before it began.
Let me be clear. I don’t care what his reasons are.
