Dejounte Murray: Why would I care about the guy that’s in Alaska right now messaging me saying I suck? This sh*t so real. I had my own father, when I got hurt, text me— because me and him ain’t cool—that somebody else was taking my spot when I was in San Antonio. No, this sh*t real. There’s a reason why I don’t get on these cameras, man. This sh*t real. Yeah, this sh*t is real. It’s nothing to play with. It’s not a joke. I’m healing. I’m trying to heal. I am. I really am. My kids need me. The youth need me.

Nobody was from there (in coaching).”

We’re going to assume he doesn’t mean the U.S. Senator from Alaska. Of course, he went on to clarify. “I mean, Rob, that guy from New England,” Rodman continued. “He talk a lot of [expletive].

Antawn Jamison: Well, the most important thing in today’s generation is winning. It’s all about winning. I think in the past, especially when I played, it was more about the destination and the market. But these guys can play in Alaska and still have unbelievable marketing and sell just about anything. Now, these guys are like, “Look, we love LA. We’re there in the offseason. But I want to know if we can win.” That’s why the Buss family and Magic and Rob are doing what they’re doing. We get it. We can’t off of the banners and past championships anymore. And instead of talking about putting more banners up there, we need to do everything possible to actually put more up there.

Wishing u all the best in the west division.

Phil Jackson: I was in the middle of nowhere–a small village on the Iliamna Lake in Alaska–when I heard the news. My sons, Ben and Charlie, were with me. We were on a fly-fishing trip in a secluded wilderness area, and the fishing wasn’t going very well. So that afternoon we knocked off early and boated up the Iliamna River to see the falls. When we arrived back at the village, a throng of children surrounded us. “Are you Phil Jackson?” one of the boys asked. “Yes,” I replied. “Why?” “I hear you got the job with the Lakers.” “What? How do you know that?” “We got a dish. It’s on ESPN.”
