I went to Eugene to hear about Dan Lanning’s journey, what makes him tick and why he’s committed to Oregon’s title quest
“This will be the last place that we coach. That means I have to win.”
featuring insight from Mike Norvell, Todd Graham and more:
Luke Walton on his relationship with Kobe: “Phil would yell at me to make the right pass and I would look at Kobe and he’d tell me the right pass was to him.”
LeBron is at center court with a mic and has a paper in his hands but puts it away. “Laker Nation I’m gonna be selling y’all short if I read off this shit so I’m gonna go from the heart.”
CJ McCollum said he reached out to the league before the bubble about setting up a plan for Dame’s 30th birthday and was able to get Dame’s preferred food (lemon pepper wings) and drink as well.
Donovan Mitchell just went off on the officials. “We won this game in my opinion … It’s getting fucking ridiculous.”
Says the Jazz "continually get screwed” and that the league needs to “do something about this.”

The Nets going from the disaster KG-Pierce trade into a rebuild that then gets the Celtics’ best player to leave Boston in order to join them would be an incredible full circle.
Some noticias: today is my last day at
@ringer
. It’s been almost five years since I started as an intern and I’ve gotten to do a ton of stories I’m proud of. I’m super grateful but also excited about what’s next.
In 2011, Blake Griffin jumped over a KIA. I tracked down what happened to the car and found that, while Griffin is still dunking, the KIA is still driving an IT bank worker in Tulsa to work each day:
Kyrie Irving says tonight on Instagram live: "I’m standing with all those that believe what is right. Everybody is entitled to do what they feel is what’s best for themselves. Seeing the way this is dividing our world up...it’s sad to see...People are losing jobs to mandates."
Brad Stevens said his favorite Thanksgiving dish is a dessert his wife makes called Jello Pretzel Salad: “It’s got a base of pretzels, something very unhealthy, and then jello and strawberries on top. It’s outstanding.”
Stewart Cink says he didn’t get to Hoylake until Tuesday because of some travel issues. “Because of the name that’s on my shirt I’m not gonna tell you what happened”
