NBA／得分飆新高後跌落谷底 威廉斯創總冠軍賽難堪紀錄
雷霆在總冠軍賽第6戰慘敗給主場作戰的溜馬，系列賽被追成3比3平手，只能回到主場決一死戰。雷霆後衛威廉斯（Jalen Williams）此戰表現相當掙扎，甚至還創下總冠軍賽史上最慘正負值紀錄。
威廉斯前一場比賽火力全開，攻下生涯季後賽新高40分，且連3戰至少拿下26分，但這場關門戰卻是表現大相逕庭，僅拿到16分3籃板；更慘的是他的場上正負值為-40，根據統計，這是NBA總冠軍賽歷史上的最差紀錄。

原先紀錄是由哈勒戴（Jrue Holiday）在去年總冠軍賽第4戰對獨行俠時所創下，當時3連勝聽牌的塞爾蒂克在客場慘輸38分，哈勒戴的正負值達-38，寫下總冠軍賽新高。
雷霆若想在即將到來的搶七大戰捧起搬家後的首座冠軍獎盃，威廉斯的反彈表現將至關重要。

"I can't think of a better person to do it" - Scottie Pippen on Michael Jordan presenting him at his Hall of Fame induction
"I can't think of a better person to do it" - Scottie Pippen on Michael Jordan presenting him at his Hall of Fame induction originally appeared on Basketball Network. Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan's relationship has long been tumultuous. In recent years, both have taken public shots at each other, adding layers to a feud that's hard to ignore. But it wasn't always this fractured. Advertisement For instance, in 2010, the tone was strikingly different. Back then, Jordan inducted Pippen into the Hall of Fame, and the latter welcomed the honor wholeheartedly. The headline pairing Pip officially stepped away in 2008, four years removed from his last NBA game. Retirement had barely begun when the call came: the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame was waiting — an honor the Arkansas native said he never could have dreamed of. "It's not an accolade that you can just go out and achieve," explained Pippen, per "You have to impress people by the way you play the game. I tried to play the game the right way my whole career, played to win, and tried to be the best." Advertisement The 6'8" forward delivered on that promise throughout his career. But it was no secret he had help on the court — from one of the greatest to ever play the game. In 2010, following tradition, every Hall of Famer was introduced by a fellow legend — like Karl Malone, who was presented by New York Knicks great Willis Reed — making it only natural that Jordan, inducted the year before, would present Pippen. For Scottie, it was fitting. The moment felt like another shared milestone in a career defined by tandem greatness. "I can't think of a better person to do it," he remarked, per ESPN. "Michael is someone I shared my career with, accomplishing most of what I have accomplished thus far."

Their partnership extended beyond the NBA, shining on the original Dream Team that crushed the competition at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. Their legacy wasn't just about rings or accolades — multiple All-Star appearances, All-Defensive honors, and spots among the league's 50 greatest players — but the bond they shared. Advertisement For Pippen, Jordan was more than a teammate. He was a "great teammate, teacher, and admirer." "I'm excited to have an opportunity to be the first person that he has presented into the Hall of Fame," the Arkansas native remarked. "I figure if anyone deserves to be on the stage with me, it's him." Ultimately, when Pippen took the stage to deliver his induction speech, he turned immediately to Jordan. "What an honor it is for me as a basketball player to have the all-time great presenting me here tonight," he said. "It was so valuable to me as a player to see someone who had the same desire, determination, passion, and love for the game." Advertisement "Who knew that number 23 would be here 23 years later presenting me into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. MJ, you have touched so many people's lives, but none like mine. Thank you for being the best teammate. I will always cherish that experience, and I will cherish our relationship forever. Thank you." Despite the ups and downs that would later strain their relationship, that moment remains a powerful reminder of the respect and connection the two Hall of Famers once shared.

Zach Randolph denies giving DeMarre Carroll $10K for sneakers: "That's a little too much cap in your rap"
Zach Randolph denies giving DeMarre Carroll $10K for sneakers: "That's a little too much cap in your rap" originally appeared on Basketball Network. It's well-known that many NBA players lead lives of excess and luxury. With wealth flowing into their accounts at an astonishing pace, they often find themselves unsure of how to manage it all. Often, they spend it on luxurious houses, cars, and designer shoes. Advertisement According to NBA veteran DeMarre Carroll, this was the case with his former teammate on the Memphis Grizzlies, Zach Randolph. If Carroll, a 6'6" forward who played 11 seasons in the league, is to be believed, Z-Bo gave him a wad of money to purchase a pair of all-white Air Force 1s — a staple in a hooper's wardrobe. Believing it was a test from the veteran who mentored him during his rookie season, DeMarre spent a significant amount on multiple pairs, estimating he had about $6,000 remaining. Later, he recounted how Z-Bo, impressed by his effort to fulfill the request, rewarded him with an additional $4,000, bringing his total to $10,000. Zach took time on "The Big Podcast with Shaq" to refute DeMarre's story, saying he would not want to toss around large amounts of money like that. A bad business move When DeMarre joined the NBA as Memphis' 27th pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, Zach was already making a hefty salary of $16.5 million per year. While he was not frugal, he emphasized that his former rook's story was an exaggerated fabrication. He sent Carroll on plenty of errands and tasks, but he never once handed out $10,000. Advertisement "Everybody asked me that, bro. Come on, man. What kind of business move is that?" Z-Bo said with a laugh. "DeMarre, please quit telling that lie. You my little bro. I love you, bro. But come on, man." Nike Air Force 1s, especially the white-on-whites, are a staple in the NBA. They're comfortable, stylish, and versatile enough to match any outfit. However, Randolph found it ridiculous that anyone would believe he would hand out six grand to buy one pair. "I'm going to give you $6,000 for some damn Air Force Ones? Come on, little bro. I want you to make your story sound good, but that's a little too much cap in your rap, man. God damn," Zach stated. Related: "I can't think of a better person to do it" - Scottie Pippen on Michael Jordan presenting him at his Hall of Fame induction Even Shaq was impressed when he heard the story The podcast host Shaq has had his fair share of extravagant spending throughout his career. From customizing cars to generously buying whatever strangers desired, he has indulged in a wide range of costly ventures. However, even O'Neal couldn't believe someone would spend that much on one pair of shoes. Advertisement "I heard that story, I was like, 'Damn, $10,000?' I only gave five. Only gave five!" Big Diesel chimed in. Zach understood what DeMarre was trying to do, but believes he went overboard. While he appreciated the effort to make a good impression, Zach couldn't help but refute such an outrageous claim. "Man had made a hell of a story up. I said, '$10,000?' I know he tried to make his big bro look good, but that's just a dummy move right there," Randolph stressed. Many NBA players do stupid things with the money they make in the league. Z-Bo, though, was a lot more responsible with his.

Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics Linked After Recent Kevin Durant Trade Report
Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics Linked After Recent Kevin Durant Trade Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Phoenix Suns have yet to strike a Kevin Durant trade, though that deal could come any day now. Advertisement The 15-time All-Star was nearly moved by the franchise at the most recent trade deadline, which all but confirmed an eventual divorce between the two sides. Durant's preferred destinations are the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat -- though the Suns have made it clear they are making the best decision for the franchise. With this, the Minnesota Timberwolves and Toronto Raptors remain options for Durant to be traded to. There could be another dark horse suitor, too. Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum ruptured his Achilles, which will lead to the 2024 champions playing next season without their superstar forward. Advertisement A fire sale could ensue in Boston, as they look to offload high-salaried players like Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis and even Derrick White. Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (35), Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (0) and Celtics center Al Horford (42).© Bob DeChiara-Imagn Images The Celtics don't need to take a gap year just because they might clean up their salary books, though, and Durant could finally be a viable option for the Celtics. According to Zach Lowe, the Celtics have discussed landing the two-time champion from the Suns, re-routing Holiday to a new destination. "I've heard that there have been discussions of 3-team Durant related trades where Jrue Holiday moves somewhere," Lowe reports. The Suns have already been disappointed with the trade packages from Durant's top three trade options. Facilitating a trade with the Celtics to benefit both sides -- while moving the 15-time All-Star -- could make sense for Phoenix. Advertisement While the Celtics may have had internal -- or even external -- conversations about landing Durant, the Suns need to be interested. With Devin Booker still in The Valley, Phoenix will be sure to make a move in their best interest, meaning the Celtics will have to outbid other suitors.
