I stood on the court at MSG and talked hoops. Life is kinda cool.

Really nice set here from Team Final. They had been running Luca Foster off pindowns for the last few minutes or so, then run him backdoor here for this alley oop finish. Great pass from Aiden Derkack, too. The two Top-50 recruits have combined for 24/45 points thus far.

This is a pretty damn big pickup for Seton Hall. Hines was excellent this weekend at Peach Jam. He's super physically imposing and has some skill to work with it. It might take him a bit to adjust to the strength of his opponents, but Hines will be playing on Day One.

Just gonna post the video of his dunk again, because I can and if you haven’t seen it yet, you should.

The sporting world is a better place because of Dustin Poirier. Showed us all that through hard work, grit, and that undying spirit, you can accomplish great things while being a stand-up person. In a sport with a lot of evil, Dustin is a shining light. Paid In Full.

Oleksandr Usyk is the man

Guard Ant Brown for Team Durant was spectacular. 37 points, 5/10 from three and absolutely willed Durant to a huge win over TTO.

Indiana commit Prince-Alexander Moody just absolutely DELETED a shot at the rim. VICIOUS Block!

EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. You cannot explain it with anything other than "That's just Jordan Smith."

Gave some thoughts on Butler and Georgetown’s transfer classes this season! Along with some really high quality beat writers giving thoughts on their teams off-season, give it a read! 247sports.com/college/provid…

Jalyn Collingwood says here that he will be visiting Butler in some point. Very underrated prospect. Collingwood had one of the Dunks of the weekend, and is a dominant athlete.

Loved this answer from Kaiser on the @BulldogBarkPod about his defense: "Growing up near DC, it's all defense... you will not touch the court if you can't defend." Feel like this is a mindset that has been missing from these last few Butler teams, and one that is very welcome.

Judges got that right. Broadcast was telling us how razor close the fight was the whole time, but Taylor was landing the much better counter shots. Close, but clear imo. But also my god please three minute rounds in women’s boxing from now on, especially in the high level fights

Great, tactical fight. IIRC I had Serrano in the first two fights, but this time I think Katie Taylor got it done. But, the two minute rounds stink. I can’t think of a pseudoscientific reason to justify it. Just sexism, especially at the world championship level #TaylorSerrano3

Ok Qayden Samuels, I see you! Ferocious Dunk in transition puts this game on Ice for Team Takeover

Jordan Smith is so awesome. Not a clue how he got this block, but he somehow makes like 3/4 of these types of plays a game. He just glides in the air, so impressive. Should easily be the consensus second-best prospect in the country.

I’ve brought this up to like twelve people and gotten maybe 1.5 responses, so naturally I’m just gonna tweet into the void about it. Barack Obama was still president when Skal Labissiere was drafted. Why is he coming off the bench in the Summer League?
