Let’s call it what it is: Montverde Academy is the 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘵 thing the sport has to an NBA prep school. If you want your kid to make it to the NBA, now you know what to do. Montverde Academy 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲.

Caitlin Clark has done a good job selling out crowds when the Fever are on the road. Unfortunately, her shooting from deep hasn’t lived up to the hype so far this season 🤯 🤑 at home: 22-of-50 😡 on the road: 1-of-28

The Thunder's title is a prime example of The Process gone RIGHT 🙌 Ironically, the team that coined the phrase "trust the Process" -- the Philadelphia 76ers -- didn't heed its own advice, and their process went wrong. The Process can work, but the team that truly trusted in it was OKC 💯

CHOKE-KC? The Thunder’s supporting cast combined for only 14 points in a closeout game. Chet Holmgren - 4 pts Lu Dort - 3 pts Alex Caruso - 0 pts Aaron Wiggins - 5 pts Cason Wallace - 2 pts What’s worse? The group was -78 collectively while on the floor 👀

“I know I want to retire at the age of 30… Injuries are something you can’t control in this game, so you never know.” Nacua also shared that he’d love to play basketball overseas after football on a recent appearance on the Join The Lobby podcast. For Nacua, the NFL is just one chapter 💯

Most 30+ point, 5+ assist games in a single postseason run in NBA history 👀 12 — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 11 — Michael Jordan 11 — LeBron James SGA is in a league of his own ⚡

After dropping Game 5 last night, the Indiana Pacers will need the best version of Tyrese Haliburton AND TJ McConnell to win this series. Not one of them.

Tyrese Haliburton in the Pacers loss in Game 5 😳 4 points 0-of-6 FG 0-of-4 3PT

Jalen Williams was UNBELIEVABLE in Game 5 against the Pacers 🔥 ⚡️ 40 points (playoff career-high) ⚡️ 6 rebounds ⚡️ 4 assists ⚡️ 14-of-25 FG ⚡️ 3-of-5 3PT ⚡️ 9-of-12 FT

A key member of the Knicks’ front office spoke with John Calipari about the team’s coaching vacancy. Sources tell @clutchpoints.bsky.social the talks were exploratory and the takeaway was that there was nothing to pursue. Calipari is one of the college coaches the team has had interest in.

According to Fanatics, Caitlin Clark only trails Steph Curry for most jerseys sold in 2024. Clark’s jerseys sold out merely hours after getting drafted, and this feat is a testament solidifying CC as a game-changer, whether in the NBA or WNBA 💪

Derrick White and Alex Caruso, the kind of guards who don't just play the game, they read it. Anticipation, grit, clutch DNA. But you can only have one of these players on your team. Who are you taking? 🍀 2024 Finals Derrick White ⚡️2025 Finals Alex Caruso Choose wisely.

Bennedict Mathurin was SENSATIONAL in the Pacers' win in Game 3 🔥 🔸 27 points 🔸 4 rebounds 🔸 9-of-12 FG 🔸 2-of-3 3PT 🔸 7-of-8 FT In 22 minutes.

The Pacers STORM BACK in the 4th quarter to take down the Thunder in Game 3 🔥 Tyrese Haliburton: 22 points 11 assists 9 rebounds 9-of-17 FG 4-of-8 3PT Bennedict Mathurin: 27 points 9-of-12 FG 2-of-3 3PT

For the second time in a month, someone tagged over Louie Palsino’s “Mambas Forever” tribute, a powerful image of Kobe kissing his daughter while she clutches a basketball. Can someone enlighten us why a legacy like Kobe’s gets tarnished in his own backyard? 😩

Can we see “two-way Shohei” sooner rather than later? Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believes it is looking more likely, even stating that there is a "north of zero chance” Ohtani can return to pitching before the All-Star break 👀

Between 2018 to 2023, these NBA coaches were handed the pink slip by their team despite winning Coach of the Year 😬 '23: Mike Brown (Kings) '22: Monty Williams (Suns) '21: Tom Thibodeau (Knicks) '20: Nick Nurse (Raptors) '19: Mike Budenholzer (Bucks) '18: Dwane Casey (Raptors)

The Wolves need someone who can handle the ball. Someone who Anthony Edwards can complement and win with. Enter Kevin Durant. It was proven in France last summer, and it might just happen in the NBA. This would be crazy, but Ant and KD together also makes a lot of sense 🤷‍♂️

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder have eliminated Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals ❌ Wolves lose in 5 games in the WCF for the second straight season.

The Thunder take care of BUSINESS against the Timberwolves in Game 5 and are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012 ⚡ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 34 points 8 assists 7 rebounds Chet Holmgren: 22 points 7 rebounds 8-of-13 FG

Anthony Edwards attempted just 13 shots in Game 4 vs. the Thunder. For context: 🔹 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 30 times 🔹 Jalen Williams shot 24 times 🔹 Nickeil-Alexander Walker shot 15 times 🔹 Jaden McDaniels shot 15 times The Wolves are down 3-1. And praying for a miracle.

The Pacers entered the playoffs in the #4 seed. They won all 3 road games against the #1 seed. Then they followed it up with 2 road wins against the #3 seed. This team is putting fear into every doubter. 😤

With the conference finals kicking off tonight, each team features at least one or more players who have an NBA championship: Knicks: 🏆 OG Anunoby - 2019 🏆 PJ Tucker - 2021 Pacers: 🏆 Pascal Siakam - 2019 🏆 Thomas Bryant - 2023 Thunder: 🏆 Alex Caruso - 2020 Timberwolves: 🏆 Donte DiVincenzo - 2021

Talk about CLUTCH 🍿 Aaron Gordon has made big shots when his team needed them the most. AG has developed more than just a rim-shattering, awe-inspiring, highlight-reel worthy player for the Nuggets 🙌

Remember Aaron Gordon’s miraculous buzzer beater dunk in Game 4 of Nuggets-Clippers? That single moment changed everything 👀 LA went from almost going up 3-1 to getting blown out in Game 7. The NBA Playoffs are insane 🍿

The biggest question with the Cleveland Cavaliers all season was if they will show up in the playoffs. Well… In their first-round series sweep of the Miami Heat, the Cavs outscored the Heat by 122 points in 4 games 🤯 That is the largest point differential in any playoff series in NBA history.

On top of clinching the #1 seed and winning DPOY, Evan Mobley's salary increased from 25% of the team's cap to 30%. That means he will earn an additional $45,000,000 over the next 5 years. He will make $269,000,000 in total. Pretty remarkable stuff for the 23-year-old 👏

Cavs players to score 30+ points in Games 1 & 2 of a playoff series in franchise history: ⚔️ LeBron James (6 series) ⚔️ Donovan Mitchell (2025)

IT'S OVER‼️ The Pistons' NBA-record playoff losing streak of 15 games has been SNAPPED💥 Their last playoff win came in Game 4 of the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals vs. the Celtics, which was 6,174 days ago!

Nikola Jokic and De'Aaron Fox scored 61 points and 60 points respectively against the Timberwolves this season 🤝 Unfortunately, their teams lost to Minnesota in the extra session 😔

Luka Doncic has set a new record for the most three-pointers made in a single month in Lakers franchise history (64 3PM) 🪄🔥 (via @statmamba.bsky.social)

The OKC Thunder are in a league of their own ⛈️

We've only seen 2 NBA Finals matchups featuring 60-win teams in the new millennium 👀 It's a rarity that could happen again this season. Who's stopping a collision course between the Thunder and Cavs? 🤔

Crisis averted. Scoring streak alive. Game WON. The King does it all 🔥 LeBron James extended his 10+ point streak to 1,283 games and drained the game-winner vs. the Pacers! LeBron - 1,283 (Active) Michael Jordan - 866 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 787 The longest streak ever—and he's not slowing down 💪
