More on this storyline
“The coverage of the NBA in my opinion has been the same since I arrived in the NBA and I grew up as a youngster watching the NBA,” said Perk. “Magic Johnson, was he not criticized? Kobe Bryant, was he not criticized? Michael Jordan, was he not criticized? Allen Iverson, he was criticized. So in today’s game these players are so sensitive that it just don’t make any damn sense.” -via The Shadow League / March 28, 2025
When asked about the players who influenced his style, CJ McCollum rattled off a list of all-time greats. “Besides my brother? I watched a lot of Allen Iverson. I watched a lot of Steve Nash. I watched a lot of Rip Hamilton. I watched young Gilbert [Arenas] and obviously Kobe and Mike,” McCollum said. “I watched all those guys but really, you know, for me, it was like figuring how to be successful and how to be impactful and how to create space in the league where everybody’s athletic and everybody’s fast and everybody’s good.” -via ScoopB.com / March 23, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Brook Lopez passed Kevin McHale in scoring yesterday and is now No. 96 in NBA history. He also moved ahead of Allen Iverson in three-pointers for No. 144 on the all-time list. Addendum: Giannis Antetokoumpo passed Willis Reed in rebounds. He’s No. 69 at age 30. -via Twitter @hoopshype / March 23, 2025
