More on this storyline

Minnesota Timberwolves PR: This is Anthony Edwards’ second career Player of the Week honor (Nov. 13, 2023), and he becomes the fifth player in @Timberwolves history to win the weekly award multiple times (Kevin Garnett, 15x; Karl-Anthony Towns, 7x; Al Jefferson, 2x and Kevin Love, 2x). -via Twitter @Twolves_PR / March 17, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Brook Lopez passed KEVIN GARNETT in blocks last night and is now No. 18 all-time. Also: Hawks guard Trae Young passed former Hawks guard and podcast superstar Jeff Teague in assists for No. 89 in NBA history. -via Bluesky / March 17, 2025
Kevin Garnett on Shai: If any player is built for the limelight, I’d say it’s this kid. This kid has always been chill. He’s always played the Bruce Wayne role. He’s always been the fly-ass kid to the side, you know what I’m saying? If you go back over time and watch, every time I’ve seen him at the dunk contest, he’s always had something dope on. He’s always had his own little flair, and he’s always been in his own kind of lane. -via YouTube / February 24, 2025
More elite players are playing until they have 15-plus years in the league. Just look at some of the names who qualify for the 15-plus-year-in-the-NBA club right now: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Harden, as well as DeMar DeRozan, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and Jrue Holiday. -via HoopsHype / March 22, 2025
Then there’s Amen Thompson. Obviously, he’s going to be a star. But the big question is—can he be that offensive engine? Somebody in the organization asked me, ‘Tell me what peak Russell Westbrook could do that this kid doesn’t have a chance to do.’ -via YouTube / March 17, 2025
Vintage Russ had made an appearance, scoring 25 points in a comeback win. Then as the interview ended, Altitude Sports color analyst Scott Hastings pointed out Kim to Westbrook. “I appreciate you, brother,” the 36-year-old guard said, removing his blue Nuggets jersey and beelining toward a stunned Kim. Westbrook hugged the self-labeled superfan and signed the back of the jersey. “How can I express that?” Kim said later in an interview with The Denver Post, searching for the appropriate words to describe the interaction, both in English and in the language of human emotions. “That was like a movie. It’s not a reality. I just said, ‘Oh my god.’” -via Denver Post / March 16, 2025
