Terrifying headline if you don’t realize they are sports teams.

Next step: passing Cousy in assisting and Kareem in scoring

@proballers.bsky.social J'ai découvert un bug étrange sur votre site www.proballers.com/basketball/t... Il manque le MVP de la compétition (et fils de Zac Perrin) Izan Almansa

1. Last man standing. With Sabonis out, Christie made the bold move of starting rookie Max Raynaud the last three games. After an injury to Eubanks, the Kings' center depth is zero. Raynaud played well, finishing with a 15-point, 9-rebound performance.

Maxime Raynaud is good. Should stay the starter until Domantas Sabonis is back.

Woman of the year

Maxime Raynaud's last 3 games: 17.6 PTS, 60% FG (20/33), 60% 3PT (3/5), 5.3 REBS, 1 BLK, 25.6 MIN

From the 02-03 Basketball Prospectus, the Shaq-Kobe Lakers of 99-02 are compared with other 3-year dynasties and they come in the middle of the pack....explanation below...

Michael Ray Richardson will forever be remembered in France because in 1995 he scored the winning bucket that gave Antibes the championship. Oh yeah, he was 40.

First French player in the NBA.

Hollinger POTD Tariq Abdul-Wahad. French SG via San Jose St was drafted 11th in 97 by SAC. Solid defense first player early. Traded 2x in 99-00 before DEN gave him 7 yr deal that summer. Immediately hurt & barely played til effectively retiring in 03, 4 yrs before his deal ended.

7'6 guy. 🤯 #NBA

I know we got a lot of crazy news around the NBA but don't let it distract you from the fact Wemby has invaded the NBA last night! The invasion has begun.

Quickest way to becoming an NBA head coach: coach Paris Basketball Club.

Oscar Wembanyama is draft eligible this year, but tbh he isn't really an NBA prospect. He is playing in Espoirs.

The New York Knicks and No. 51 overall pick Mohamed Diawara have agreed on a standard, one-year rookie NBA deal, sources tell ESPN.

He's 7'4... 🤯 #NBA

Dominique Malonga was an INCREDIBLE sequence. Forces the A'ja miss, runs the floor, get the bucket AND the foul. After her made FT they are up 1! Aces ball.

Insightful story from my ESPN colleague @kumaraishwarya.bsky.social looking at the making of Dominique Malonga and how the No. 2 pick handled a small role early in her rookie season while continuing to develop behind the scenes: www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

FROM SHAMS: Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly underwent surgery Friday to repair a ligament tear in his right thumb and is likely to miss time into the regular season, sources tell ESPN. Coulibaly sustained the injury with the French national team during FIBA EuroBasket play.

Team USA may not have won gold last year without Cameroon's Joel Embiid, who scored 19 points in the semifinal vs. Serbia. That's the nature of FIBA competitions, sadly.

Poland beat Iceland with 26 points by Chicago-born Jordan Lloyd. He's absolutely right to call that out. National Teams shouldn't act like clubs. The last three Eurobasket champs won with naturalized players in key roles. Now that's a real asterisk. basketnews.com/news-230484-...

The way Dominique Malonga can make a bucket out of a contested catch like this is so impressive to me.

July 13, 1986: Arvydas Sabonis runs the floor for a slam during the Soviet Union's 105-93 win over Greece in the semifinal round of the FIBA World Championship. Sabonis, who'd recently been selected as the 24th pick in the 1986 NBA Draft (Portland Trail Blazers), scored 17 PTS.

Malonga hitting a Dirk fade over Stewie in the midst of a personal 6-0 run is what we came for, folks:

The Knicks selected French wing Mohamed Diawara at No. 51 Diawara, 20, is 6’9 with a 9’2 standing reach. He struggles with shooting and dribbling but has great size and defensive versatility. He’s close friends with Pacôme Dadiet. Welcome to New York, Mo!

From a club in the Paris region. 5 of these kids were either drafted in the 2024 NBA Draft or 2025 NBA Draft. France is doing something special in their basketball development 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 #nbadraft

Welcome to the Orlando Magic, Noah Penda! ✨

Nolan Traoré 🇫🇷 at 20 to Miami is a definite possibility. He is lower in mocks, but scouts like him, in their mind he was not helped by the situation in St Quentin and also didn't have a break over the summer, between the French national team and the U18 Euros.
