Luca has been in the league how long and nobody has won anything with him, so what the hell is Stephen Smith talking about again, just an idiot, ignorant once again

If Jason Kidd doesn’t get a Head Coaching job Rick Carlisle needs to add his former Player and NBA Champion to his staff ASAP.I mean having J.Kidd on the coaching staff with Halliburton as the floor General,get it done.

Its time for players and viewers to boycott Stephen A. He is causing harm to players and organizations like JB of Boston. His political views are disrespectful and divisive. Boycott Stephen A
