# Deion Sanders thoughts and prayers are with him health wise www.instagram.com/reel/DKvMmul...

As a Pacers fan, I am disgusted by Tyrese Haliburton's performance so far in the finals and think they should trade him while his value is high I am particularly interested in what the Timberwolves could offer in a package centered around either Julius Randle or Rudy Gobert

oilers stanley cup, coming soon

"They should celebrate a great victory to win their conference. Obviously we all know that their goal is to win a Stanley Cup, but that doesn't diminish the opportunity to take a minute and say job well done by everybody in that room." -Mark Messier, 6x Stanley Cup Champion #Oilersnation #NHL

The NBA keeps LYING to it's fans. Another example of revisionist history in the tweet below. Here is the real list: 🏀 Dave DeBusschere (1970) 🏀 Willis Reed (1970) 🏀 Patrick Ewing (1993, 1994) 🏀 Charles Oakley (1994) 🏀 Karl-Anthony Towns (2025)

Two former #Bucks greats. Yup.

I interviewed Kareem many years ago. He talked about how his career in Milwaukee would have been much different had Julius not been poached from the #Bucks by the ABA. He might not have forced his way out of the city if he was playing with Erving.

The NBA of the 70s had a surprising amount of A+ Role Models. Those two, Unseld, Reed, DeBusschere, Hondo, Dandridge, Walton, Rudy T, Paul Silas; guys you'd be happy to hear was a kid's favorite player because they were looking up to guys that stood for the right stuff.

Well said!!
