Draymond Green: “I think to understand this statement though, you always have to understand the way KD view basketball. And the way KD view basketball is very Uncle Drewish. This game will and always will be about buckets that’s how KD view the game. So when KD say, “Yo, they got four 25 point scorers, you have to understand in KD mind what that means.” So first off in order to understand Kevin’s statement, you have to understand his mindset and how he see the game and how he see the game. This game is about buckets. So when he mentioned, Yo, they got four 25 point scorers. Hell yeah, they’re going to be a contender. That’s how KD see the game. It’s going to be league pass worthy. Absolutely. But that is how KD see the game. So he’s going to mention to 25 point scorers. And I again I think everybody look at that and be like, “Oh man, that team is nothing like that team was like I don’t think he never said that.”

NBA Courtside: VJ Edgecombe on LeBron James joining the Sixers: “I don’t know LeBron. Like, I love LeBron, don’t get me wrong. I just never like I met him. Obviously, we played against each other. Obviously that’s who I, you know, looked up to when it comes to basketball and stuff like that. That’s one of the reasons why I started playing ball. When he was in Miami, but I ain’t know him. But I keep calling Tyrese and I was like, “Are we getting Bron? Are we getting Bron?” And Tyrese is like, “Bro, I don’t know.” Like, “I don’t think so.” But he knew the whole time. But he ain’t want to tell me. That’s what I feel. I might be wrong.”

The ABCD Camp was the premier summer event for 22 years in the ‘90s and early 2000s. Basketball legend Sonny Vaccaro founded the camp in 1984, and the stories and matchups to come out each year changed the trajectory for some players. The camp ended in 2006, but Tracy McGrady and Vaccaro revived it 20 years later, and 50 of the top players in the country came out to compete over the weekend. Kobe Bryant was the camp MVP in 1995, and in 2001, it was16-year-old LeBron James who solidified himself as the best prospect in the nation. James stole the ball from Lenny Cooke and hit the game-winner, a one-legged 35-foot jumper, in the championship game. James’s nickname “The Chosen One” resulted from the ABCD Camp.
Jaylen Brown is excited for the next chapter of his NBA career for one obvious reason. “Yo, we got ‘Bron, and what an opportunity that is,” Brown said Monday on a Twitch livestream, during which the All-NBA forward provided his first public remarks on LeBron James’ decision to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason. “Like, obviously, everybody (is) gonna say whatever they want to say, and it’s gonna be a bunch of media this whole entire season,” Brown added. “But like, for me, like, what an opportunity (it) is to learn. I love learning, so to have the opportunity to learn from one of, if not the greatest player of all time.”
The 76ers have not won the championship since 1983. James was not even born yet at that time. But many believe that Philadelphia will finally end that drought. In fact, Brown revealed on his livestream that he already has a plan if they win the title. James, however, might need more convincing. “I told VJ, Bron, Max, and Embiid, if we win the championship, everybody's going skydiving. Bron texted me back and said, ‘Boy, hell nah!'” shared Brown with a laugh.
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has weighed in on one of basketball's most popular debates, revealing his all-time NBA starting lineup.

Labaron Philon Jr. was visiting Miami when he woke up on July 24 to about five calls. And when the 76ers’ rookie actually looked at his phone, “it was, like, a big ‘Wow’” to learn that LeBron James had decided to sign with his team. “Who wouldn’t want to be around that?” Philon said Monday from an appearance at Sunrise Day Camp-Greater Philadelphia’s basketball clinic at Kaiserman JCC in Wynnewood. “I feel like we’ve got a lot of great guys, and [we are] just going to continue to do the right things and just make it happen.”

“Those older guys being able to teach us young players what we need to know, I feel like that’s a very important thing for me,” Philon said. “Just being a rookie and being able to be around all those guys is a privilege for me. You don’t get to see a rookie get to play with five guys that can potentially make an All-Star team [James, Brown, Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, and VJ Edgecombe]. I feel like you can learn every day, and every day you can compete against them to get better.”
Earlier this month, Philon lauded Brown’s “championship DNA.” He added on Monday that he is eager to learn about how James takes care of his body, because he also would like his NBA career to last into his 40s. “Being able to have that longevity,” Philon said of James, “that’s God-given ability.”
Steven Adams on LeBron James' move to Philadelphia: "I don't really care too much. Just because it doesn't necessarily matter in that sense. Just because you have to just see how you are in the year. You have to come together. Even our team, we have to click, come together as a buy-in. New data comes out, do we have to change the play style? There's a lot of other variables. I mean, it's cool, but just for me, I'm just like, whoever's on the other team, cool. I have to worry about our team, how we're going to do."
Bryon Scott believes James Harden prevented LeBron James from returning to the Cavaliers "If they didn't have James Harden, I think he would have did it a third time.
