Kevin Garnett: 'Lu Dort is the new Joe Dumars'

Carmelo Anthony: Ace Bailey — we’ve seen Ace before. That’s why it’s not talked about like that. We’ve seen Ace. We’ve seen Paul Georgee. We’ve seen Kevin Garnett. We’ve seen Tracy McGrady. We’ve seen Mellos. We’ve seen Jayson Tatum. Like, we’ve seen Ace. That’s why he’s not being talked about. That doesn’t take anything away from him, but visually we’ve seen him, right? We haven’t seen — and not to make this black and white — but we haven’t seen a white boy like that in a long f—— time. Right. That’s when you know he really good. That’s when you know Cooper Flagg really good. Like — but we haven’t seen that in a long time. -via YouTube / May 26, 2025

Kendrick Perkins: But you have levels of not liking each other—because you’re around each other so much. You’re gonna have attitude. Like KG… quiet as kept—he’ll tell the story now—but James Posey was the leader of our team. KG, at times, hated this motherf*cker. Guess why he hated Posey? One—because Po guarded him in practices. Our practices—our white vs. green practices—we looked forward to going harder at each other in practice than in games. Games would end and we’d be like, “Yo, we gonna bust your ass tomorrow.” “Y’all got us f**ed up!”* And the one thing Po used to do? Every ride—on the bus, on the plane—he had on a suit… And guess what else he had? He had his championship ring from Miami. He used to sit there—KG sat in the last seat—Pose would sit across from him and put that ring on his thigh, with it just popping out. And KG would be like, “He’s doing this on purpose.” -via YouTube / May 20, 2025
