Here are five things you may have missed during this week in the NBA.
This week in the NBA has had it ALL. No, really, in a season filled with crazy things happening on a week to week basis, this week truly encompassed an incredibly wide variety of shenanigans and serious topics.
In the world of serious NBA news, the NBA officials met with the NBPA about tension on the rise between players and referees. Chris Paul is considered day-to-day with a leg injury he suffered in a Rockets loss. Speaking of the Rockets, LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony reportedly discussed teaming up with Paul in Houston before the season. Thus fueling James to the Rockets reports. And in the world of trades, DeAndre Jordan rumors continue to float around in the air, but nothing much is coming of them. Kelly Olynyk got his revenge on the Celtics as he led the Heat to a victory over his old squad. Most surpring of all, the Bulls hold the NBA’s second longest win streak.
On a lighter note, the NBA was crazy off the court this week. From fans puking court side at Hawks games to stolen toilets to foreign governments threatening players. Yup, everything. A truck driver crashing his truck into Evan Turner’s pool and Charlie Villanueva getting his toilet stolen from his home are probably the week’s wackiest headlines. Meanwhile, Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas made up after years of feuding. Kobe was immoralized as his numbers were retired by the Lakers this week.
It seems as if every week gets more and more chaotic and weird. However, it’ll be insanely hard to top the headlines from around the NBA this week. Here are five things you may have missed from around the association this week.
