Reporting with @Draftexpress: Virginia Cavaliers G Ryan Dunn — a potential first-round pick — is entering the 2024 NBA Draft, he told ESPN. Dunn, one of the nation's most versatile defensive forces, is 6-foot-8 with a 7-2 wingspan.
Ryan Dunn is one of the more unique stories in this draft class, initially committing to Virginia as a walk-on after a late-blooming trajectory growing seven inches starting as a high school sophomore. He became arguably the best defender in college basketball this season.
NEWS: Virginia's Ryan Dunn, a potential first-round pick, told ESPN he will enter the NBA draft. "I had an amazing two years at UVA. I'm focused on the next step in my life now."

ESPN Sources: Houston Rockets GM Rafael Stone and assistant GM Eli Witus signed multi-year contract extensions earlier this season. The combination of drafting and developing franchise’s young talent, free agents acquisitions, Coach Ime Udoka’s impact and ultimately the league’s largest jump from 22 to 41 victories were significant factors in ownership’s reasoning on extending the front office.
Sources: The NBA Board of Governors has discussed a proposal that the round to which a team advances in the NBA Cup would be used as the first postseason tiebreaker. League is polling GMs on NBA Cup advancement vs. head-to-head result as first tiebreaker to bring for final vote.

NBA announces investigation found Porter "disclosed confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games." From Jan. to March, Porter placed 13 bets on NBA games using associate's account.
Per league statement: The league’s investigation found that prior to the Raptors’ March 20 game, Porter disclosed confidential information about his own health status to an individual he knew to be an NBA bettor. Another individual with whom Porter associated and knew to be an NBA bettor subsequently placed an $80,000 parlay proposition bet with an online sports book, to win $1.1 million, wagering that Porter would underperform in the March 20 game.
NBA has leveled a lifetime ban on Jontay Porter for gambling.
NBA investigation found that prior to March 20 game, Porter disclosed confidential information about his health to an NBA bettor. Another person connected to Porter placed an $80K parlay to win $1.1 million wagering Porter would underperform. The bet ultimately was frozen.

I’m kind of new to nba and 2k in general but why do people say mj is the goat for having 7 rings even though Bill Russell has 11
Idk
Because
Bill Russell played in a weak era.
There was no 3pt line, the game focused on the big guys mainly due to that.
Jordan tho may have 6 championships but played in an era in which it had hand checking,the defense was toughest,he had to face off the bad boys,Many fouls weren't called.
Unlike bill Mj was an all-around player,he could shoot,defend, dribble,pass,drive,he was perfect.
Also jordan got into a team that was terrible and stayed there while bill got into an already good team.
Reminder that Jordan was considered the goat from his 2nd championship with only 18k points.
As the league needed more viewers for money they changed the rules so more points would be scored unfortunately, less defense today,for me the nba défense isn't real defense, FIBA basketball defense is great compared to today's NBA.
So when you have LeBron who had to change teams 3 times just fo get 4 championships and not be considered the goat as early as mj while also not having the right mentality, it's clearly that after all this mj is rhe goat.
If you think Bron is the goat stop playing basketball now, get some help, it's as bad as saying earth's flat
It's religion bro
Guys how do u think the nba can improve as a league
Wym arthur
Does anyone know why my shot bar during free throws disappeared in career mode? I didn't change anything, during normal throws and layups it is normal, but during free throws it is not there. I have to shot by feel
and i dont change anything in option

she's just silent for 15 seconds straight and saying obvious sht 💀
Where exactly does one sign up to be a commentator?
it's so funny watching embiid play offense
he just tried doing a rip thru to foul bait on the perimeter against a guard 💀
Philly might put belt to skin Vs Knicks
Phoenix don’t know how to play the games full intensity
ANT man killed em’ today 🫡
grayson allen got his bag and forgot how to play ball 🔥
Embiid is down
Knicks 💪💪
bro ur not a reporter
Lowry flopping again
Knicks won let’s gooooooooo 🗽
when was gabe vincent this good at defense bruh
He’s good dawg
I have no words
he might actually contain jamal murray if he keeps at it fr
All these phantom fouls and the lakers still losing😭
nuggets have all the momentum in the world
i mean lebron just straight up ran into jokic with his hands up and a foul was called
such bull
nuggets take game 1
I hate my life
yeah nah ts is scripted the way dlo sold tn
why
Lakers always sell in the 4th they were up before and then lose bro
Shi makes no sense
Either 3rd or 4th quarter
Damn, so this is the power of defending champion.. that 13-0 in Q3 is invincible..
Skip said the Lakers would beat the Nuggets 4-2, I don't know what he's smoking
I think if the Lakers shoot better I think they could take the series
I think it's like a trade off, I saw the first half defense is decent on Lakers side
And nuggets 3p shooting in first quarter is not good.
But as the Lakers getting tired and slow down on defensive side, Nuggets come back soon.
It seems now it's Hard for Lakers to keep good performance on both Offense and Defense.
If they put pressure defense, then they have issues on 3 point shooting..
Yea true
I still can't forget there is a regular game Lakers play with nuggets, the game they play offense and not put much pressure on defense, and there is a guy from Nuggets shoots 10/10 shot attempts at 100% percent..
Who's that guy, the tall guy
Eh,
Yea Porter, Michael Porter..
Well porter is a really consistent three point shooter and doesn’t really pass the ball that much
Lakers really need Russell to step up, but.. I don't think so
And If Vincent could have similar performance from last year's Heat run, I think they could go for game 6 or 7.
I don’t think Russell is ready for that role, but after LeBron leaves I think he either steps up or falls out the league
Yea, that's really true
Besides that, tonight the Lakers got 19 free throws and the Nuggets got 6, but they still lost the game, which is a really bad signal..
Yea but the lakers had 12 turnovers compared to the nuggets 4
From the Q3, the Lakers just look too overwhelming. Both defense and offense
True
Lebron are creating runs for the other team, he need to be placed for main slashing, the game is not about trying 3s and create rebounds and fastbreaks, is about secure the score and denfend like denver, he need to stop the number chansing and start sacrife more is own stats, 100 pts in a game is nothing if you lose
Is cool ending a game with 40pts, if you give 41 on turnovers and fg misses was a useless work
Only 1 digit of diferent, I no like stat chasing play style for that
Diference*
Yea, that's true. Q3 offense selection is weird and bad.
If the Lakers still play in this way, I think nuggets would sweep the Lakers again or 4:1..
People think the game is about stats, all those people are wrong, even someone with all digits on 0 can be the game carry, there s a tons of good things on floor you can do that not count as stats, basketball have a wrong stats measure to call the best player on someone
Broo also you see that angelo russell shot selection??? I feel shame bro like, why you force a shot having more than a half of shot clock? No iq
Lakers only deppend on davis n reeves, but If jokic realize he can counter davis just keeping him away from paint that is gg laker with the L
Clippers in 4
Even more embarrassed..
Nuggets became the 3rd team to win a playoff game with 6 or less free throws in NBA history..

Is funny how Jokic post aside the FT line to rest just looking who cut and consume the shot clock, if the time end then he force inside, also that guy score on force, also force on 3... is crazy, he lock the entire NBA without moving🤣.... but must crazy is see lakers everyone trying to be mr scorer star of the year instead of playing as a team
Basketball is not About Atleticism, Height... is about Floor IQ
The man who beat MJ plus minus n bron, we are actually watching the best performance a basketball player can do
At the end the teaching is= More slow game, More Elite
People who play running around are atcually risky the games to much
are the multiple fouls called for lebron scripted too
You don't gotta glaze Lebon lebon
Nah I'm messing around I'm not being fr
I'm not a fanatic, I talk with real base
Dude I was messing ik your not glazing I'm just bored.
Also the best per ABA/NBA
If talk positive about the 1st in the world, Over Prise arguing is useless
Are we arguing? I'm not I was just messing around cause I was bored lebron is the goat for sure.
yo guys where do yall watch nba games
like i wanna watch heat vs celtics later
also mavs in 5
If you say lebron is the goat for his numbers, the stats on basketball no matter, Stats must be the result of the entire system acording to your teamates deserve roles, If you no have the chance to create a stat you no supose to chase or force the numbers because you are risking to much the posetion on a FG miss or Turnovers...Lebron is the 1 player with most turns on history, Also FG misses, You can score 20 pts on 35 attemps, That means for chasing 20 pts without proper organization he give the ball to the other team 15 times, Also let put 2 turnovers so fo 20 pts you make the other team score aprox 34......
Mb but this is not the way to play basketball, When kids learn the conservative way is when they apology to old heads
Also with the wrong metric system NBA have they are making lebron is a Plus minus who appears on Positive, When are already negative
But when you undestand what I write above you maybe have an Idea
But first you must learn how to undestand basketball in a mathematical way
Type shi
No dude, I'm coach since 90s, I know what I'm talking
Organization is the secret, this is not 1v1, is 5v5, sorry but laker no have a good iq organization, A lot of iso player, maybe some screen roles but all those plays are obsolete, denver have a more organized floor with more advance tactics
Must of then are plays who dont require high stamina, so they can keep fresh and healty all the season, meanwhile we have Butler, Embiid, Zion Injury by wrong coaching
I know the media bombing change the perception of many people, but if you really undestand the game playing irl all have millions of matches on 2k you undestand all that "Special Analist" don't know NOTHING about the truly way to play the game, so I undestand
Mb for the grammar spagheti, english not my main
tbh you right but exclude zion that mf makin himself injured
mb
he's insane
yh when he aint injured aka not hungry
zion's finishing around the rim is better than 80% of guards in the league
he is athletic but doesnt help if he cant play the whole season
if that guy wins mvp tis shi is rigged
nah he cant
he played less than 65 games
not eligible for anything
not even all nba
he a b cuz he scared of getting his stats lowered or not being able to get free throws
man i dont get the embiid hate
like yeah he's a free throw merchant
but than 70 point game was legit
he was hitting hesi pull up middy's on wemby
i aint extra its just how would i say unenjoyable to watch him
true
they can hate all they want but they should now they wouldnt even get the ball in 1s against him
oladipo would be one of the best players in the world if it wasnt for the injury
mby not the world but fosho top 75
he took prime bron to last game nd almost won
ur not wrong
but i think the same could be said for a lot of people
fultz, grant hill, yao
even zion
i mean yh but i just really liked the guy
but aside from that all of those guys r mostly more known then him
yh hear me out i see prime d rose in him
yeah they have that same thing
except oladipo is a better defender
offensive playstyle is quite similar
d that never rose 😔
🤨
yo d never rose ? get that checked out fam
talkin bout drose here 😭
ja finna be another drose istg if he keeps getting injured
he aint believe me
or keeps hanging out on ig live
hah
legit 😭
yall hoop?

they have the same playstyle
i mean its more like a hobby but yeah
yeah same
my jumpshot broke as hell
dam that aint gd fam
bro i'm the guy that's always open
and they shout "Let HIm Shoot!" whenever i have the ball
i'm hassan whiteside
i dont have enough like

i got kyrie handles but kinda ish shaun livingston middy
i wanna hoop outside but it hella cold rn
Hope this no happend because the kid have a great future, but if SA keep playing wemby on ISo also explosive that thing going to happend to him, He need a elite PG aside to compress his game

Maxey recorded three games of 50 or more points, tied for the most in the NBA. Those were the first 50-point games of his four-year career.

ESPN Sources: Sixers star Joel Embiid has been treated for a mild case of Bell’s Palsey for the past week. The condition began during the play-in victory over Miami but he has wanted to keep it private to avoid distractions for his team.
There had been some speculation about why he had been wearing sunglasses and whether there was an issue with his eyes, but that was related to the Bell’s Palsey — which impacts facial muscles in one-half of face. Embiid had 50 points in Game 3 victory over Knicks tonight.
