“I’ve always envisioned myself being in this position and wanting the opportunity,” Powell said Wednesday night. “Learning from when I was in Toronto with Kyle and DeMar (DeRozan), learning from Dame (Lillard) and CJ (McCollum), learning from PG and Kawhi. Being around those top guys and just getting game and knowledge from them in the summer. Going up against them, battling, and just wanting that.” -via New York Times / November 8, 2024
Kyle Lowry is on the cusp of another milestone. The 76ers point guard needs two points to tie and three to pass Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Paul Arizin as Villanova’s all-time leading NBA scorer. Lowry has 16,264 points heading into Monday’s 10:15 p.m. game against the Phoenix Suns at the Footprint Center. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / November 4, 2024
“I think [former Villanova NBA players] Jalen Brunson will surpass. I think Mikal Bridges will surpass that,” Lowry said of the scoring title he’s about to achieve. -via The Philadelphia Inquirer / November 4, 2024
In the latest episode of his podcast Marchand Sports Media, Andrew Marchand of The Athletic noted that Amazon will likely prioritize international stars on-screen. That goes for both the teams it seeks to schedule in that slot as well as the broadcasters it hires. The reason? Amazon’s big Saturday national slate of games is likely to be scheduled for the afternoon in the U.S. to air in the evening in Europe. The streamer wants faces that fans will recognize front and center. -via Awful Announcing / October 23, 2024
Marchand specifically named Basketball Hall of Famer and native German Dirk Nowitzki as someone to watch as Amazon pursues this strategy. Though Marchand did not expand beyond Nowitzki, other candidates who fit that mold could include Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, or even Canadian Steve Nash. -via Awful Announcing / October 23, 2024
For Curry, passing to Thompson for a 3 was unmatched. His 622 assists on Thompson 3-pointers is the most by any duo in the past 25 seasons, according to ESPN Research. Green's assists on 611 3-pointers to Curry is second. "You develop that chemistry over so many years and battles," Curry said. "The lights of the brightest in the playoffs and championships, we earned that level of trust in chemistry and expectation that if we got out there, if we were healthy, we had a chance to beat anybody. It's a great feeling every time you got on the court. In the history of the league, it's very rare that you get a core of three that stay together that long. "The Spurs [trio of Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are] probably up there, but just thinking about how iconic that trio, what we were able to accomplish. We wanted to keep it together for ... forever." -via ESPN / October 9, 2024
