Big man Frank Kaminsky typically sits at the end of the bench, which puts him cheek to cheek with Jordan when he’s courtside. “He’s talking about what he’s seeing out on the court. Talking to the refs,” Kaminsky said. “Things other players don’t necessarily see. He still think...
We tell you how last night's blow out in Boston revealed a glaring issue for the Celtics that NEEDS fixing if they want to win it all. AND... has the series momentum shifted now that OG Anounoby is out? Michael Wilbon tells us why Jalen Brunson will overcome yet another Knicks' ...
