Just like how the eurostep is a very old move even in the Philippines (we used to call it the side-step) and how Ginobili popularized it in the nba. Even the term eurostep is kinda dumb because they attribute it to Ginobili who is Argentinian.
    Thanks for the info. While both move have employ the same hand "cross body - cross over" to throw off the defender, God's move uses a more complicated foot-work to sell that cross.

    that shamgod word was popularly attach to him as far as I know(for now).
    Never heard that one about Kyries tho. Shamgod doesnt mean he's a sham-of-a-god, but Shamgod is a crossover move that 90's college star God Shamgod made popular.

    And yes, "God" is his first name, last name is "Shamgod"

    There's a youtube video of it that even featured Terence Romeo.

    all the momentum now on the Oilers side now
    Many times NHL teams come from 0-3 to win a playoff series. For some reason, it is easier on ice than on the hardcourt

    I'm talking about Kyrie since transferring to DAL we haven't heard nor read any antics

    maybe only for this season(?) we dunno.

    him and Luka are sometimes off

    and kudos to coach Jason on how to handle the attitude of those dudes(for now?)

    it would be very interesting come 2024-25 season.

    the incident happened in 2021 when his still with the Nets.

    honestly I wasn't aware nor watch that game back then

    until news about KG and Boston fans who witnessed that antic that resulted to some other activities outside basketball.

    I think Shamgod was sober nowadays.

    The Nets' Kyrie Irving went out of his way to step on the logo of his former team, the Celtics, on Sunday, prompting Kevin Garnett to pop off.

    I believe that the Celtics, armed with championship experience, are still one of the favorites to win it all alongside Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder. No one in the East can touch Boston, now that the team, especially the Jays, already experiencing how its like to be the champions.

    I read this too. I think he is a bit short for SG. Mikal Bridges to me fits Kawhi’s defensive profile more. I think they need a defender at the SF position. LBJ and KD are bad perimeter defenders at this point.

    I think Tatum has found his role in the USA Olympic team. He'll be a good utility guy who does what is needed. Defend, rebound, pass. He'll be fine with it, he was fine with it in the Finals.

    Sir CoJ,

    I think idol Klay was born and raised in Bahamas thus having a dual citizenship because of his American mom.

    I think it's just a matter of time for his exemption

    there's a provision on FIBA's Internal Regulation on Players with Special Cases born and raised from dependent territories .

    same thing with Eric Gordon who was also born(?) and raised in the Bahamas during his childhood days.

    I think Bahamas already claimed his independence from mainland USA several years ago alongside Virgin Island, Cook Island, Puerto Rico among others.
