After Lakers guard Dalton Knecht tied an NBA rookie record with nine 3-pointers en route to 37 points in a 124-118 win over the Jazz on Tuesday, LeBron James wanted to clarify just how Knecht landed in L.A.

don't mind at all. the cash prize makes players actually try a bit harder imo

I just feel like having other tournaments makes the real one not as important.

The NBA is like the NHL from 30 years ago. Insanely xenophobic. I'm glad the NHL has matured into being largely inclusive. Yet the critics would say that it lacks diversity. I don't see any of this shit in the NHL.

@Machinehead I realize it's the only a pre-season tourney but the UConn men have lost 3 in a row.

The NBA product is so unbelievably bad right now and this commissioner does nothing to address it. I hope ratings continue to tank.

Alex Sarr, a 7- foot PF / C rookie who can’t shoot 2 point FG’s and is super raw shoots 4.5 three’s a game. The most Bird ever shot was 3.3 attempts. Reggie Miller didn’t shoot over 4.5 a game until like his 6th year in the league. Sarr shoots 25% from 3. Brutal. It’s not entertaining to watch guys brick 3’s all game long.

The product is 1-dimensional and a chore to sit through.

The three pointers, I don't mind. They're exciting, especially when you frequently go to games.

My issue with the NBA right now is the scoring in general. I go to turn the game on and I don't know if it's the Knicks on MSG or CNN's coverage of the electoral college.
