Players such as Chet Holmgren, Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving and NBPA president Fred VanVleet all provided feedback that helped bring the renovated space together. “I’m excited to be a part of shaping the PLYRS UNTD Performance Center to meet the unique demands of the brotherhood,” said Holmgren, a forward/center for the Oklahoma City Thunder. “As professional athletes, there is so much work and preparation that goes on behind the scenes to perform at our best. Our new LA facility is equipped with the wellness, recovery, and training resources we need in the offseason and beyond.”
Yossi Gozlan: Johni Broome fits into the $2.3 million trade exception the Clippers created by trading Chris Paul last season. They still have plenty of flexibility to make additional moves with $38 million in luxury tax space. They also now have 8 second-round picks through 2033.
He will become the 13th player in NBA history to reach a 20th season, joining LeBron James, Vince Carter, Chris Paul, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Willis, Robert Parish, Kyle Lowry, Udonis Haslem, Jamal Crawford, Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. "I knew a few off the top of my head, but I hadn't seen the list," Al Horford told ESPN. "It's hard to believe. It's something that, for me, I'm very grateful. It's just so hard to be in this league for that amount of years. There's a lot of commitment, a lot of sacrifice and time. I still feel like I'm able to contribute and have an impact on a team."
Fullcourtpass: Isaiah Thomas says if the Spurs kept Chris Paul they would’ve won the NBA Finals: “I believe if they had Chris Paul on this roster, they would’ve won the finals… His experience & who he is would’ve helped De’Aaron Fox, Castle, Harper.”

JR Smith: I did not grow up a Knicks fan. I hated the Knicks. I did not like Patrick Ewing. I did not like John Starks. I didn't like anything about the Knicks. I was a Bulls fan. I was a Michael Jordan fan. Michael Jordan is my GOAT. That's it. And my agent calls me and he gives he gives me these list of teams. Only thing I kept bringing me back was playing with Chris Paul. He's going to pass the ball. I'm going to be in a great situation. They play fast. They play up and down. My type of style. I tell him, all right. I'm going to the Clippers. He's like, all right. I get on a flight, land in LA. God rest in peace, Mark Warkentien. He is the first person I see. I was with him in Denver. He's like, "Kid, what are you doing?" I was like, I'm going to LA. He was like, "You really want to do that?" And had this conversation. I'm like, okay. Go to the hotel, go to sleep. I wake up. I said, "I'm going to New York." And my dad was the first person I told cuz my dad was a Knicks fan.
NBA on ESPN: "[Victor Wembanyama is going] to make you question everything you've even learned about the game." -- Chris Paul shares his thoughts on Wemby's impact on the court
Charlie Villanueva on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: I wouldn't even put him in the top 10. Q. Give me 10 point guards, combo point guards, it doesn’t matter. Villanueva: Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Stephen Curry, Allen Iverson, John Stockton… I wouldn't put him up past John Stockton, fam. Q. But that's only five you've named so far. Villanueva: Okay, let me get there! Steve Nash, Chris Paul… Okay. I'm cool. I'm cool with all these… Oh, also Tony Parker. (…) He’s not in front of Jason Kidd. (…) Bob Cousy. Pistol Pete.
Chris Paul: "I'm honestly not worried about Vic lasting, right, playing for a long, a long time in the league because his preparation, the way he works, the way he trains, all the little details, he's that competitive. I told you, like when I got there, whether it's ping pong, whether it's chess, whether it's just shooting games after practice, and he's like a student of the game. Like he watches everything constantly and it's kind of crazy to see it all come together. Because I remember, I went to go watch him play before he came to the NBA. And he was 7'5" wing player. And he just keeps learning things throughout the years. And if you watch down the stretch of that game, the lobs that Vic caught when Caruso was guarding him, those are plays that he didn't used to do. He was just always on the perimeter. But now he realized that he can score in so many different ways."

Broku: Chris Paul says you can become stressed just thinking about being stressed. He says the worst gut issues of his career weren't caused by food. They were caused by stress. What Paul does when he feels the stress loop starting: • Gets around his family • Takes a break from work and slows down • Resets his nervous system before it spirals • Stops trying to be everything for everybody He says trying to be everything for everybody is what runs you ragged. Most people are stuck in a loop of being stressed about being stressed, and their cortisol pays the price. The thing wrecking your gut is rarely on your plate. — Chris Paul on Dr. Mark Hyman's ( @drmarkhyman ) podcast PS: B2C health apps, SaaS, brand or info founders: If you want content just like this to turn 𝕏 into your #1 organic acquisition channel in the next 90 days...

Austin Rivers: I didn't get in the league because of my dad. And I didn't stay in the league because of my dad. Now, do I get to be a part of a team and an opportunity with a with a staff that believed in me and a coach that I knew I could play freely for? Absolutely, man. That's why I came back. That's why when Portland offered me 40 million, that's why when Phil Jackson was trying to explain the goddamn Triangle offense in my living room, I didn't go to New York. I went back to LA to get that bag so I could go play for my pops and I could play freely and be myself, which I actually ended up doing pretty f*cking solid as a role player under Chris Paul and Jamal Crawford.

That’s what my role was. That’s all I ever was in the NBA: a role player. I was never a star.
