Evan Turner on his rookie season: 'I was supposed to come in and be LeBron James'
Evan Turner: ‘When number two dropped it’s like oh I guess I’ll be a Philadelphian or whatever so luckily that was the case and we went and did a workout and you know everything worked well until the first game… Sh*t was real like sh*t, like I was supposed to come in and be LeBron James! I had to go talk to my sponsors, I got partners and I didn’t have them by the second year.’Source: YouTube

ICYMI: I used the Joel Embiid-Steph Curry-LeBron James trio from Team USA as a proxy for what the Embiid-Paul George-Tyrese Maxey big 3 could look like under Nick Nurse’s design.

More on this storyline
During the 2010 NBA Playoffs, Noah talked about how Cleveland is a boring city leading up to the Bulls’ 2010 playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. When asked about it after a loss, Noah responded with the most direct question of all time. “Do you like it,” Noah asked reporters. “Do you think Cleveland is cool?” “I mean I never heard anybody say I’m going to Cleveland on vacation. What’s so good about Cleveland?” Years later, Noah upped. the ante on his logic: “I never left my hotel,” he told Scoop B Radio. “And I haven’t been in Cleveland since. So, I can’t tell you too much about it.” But, Noah does give Cleveland, LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love their props for putting the 216 on the map after winning the 2016 NBA Finals. “They definitely did,” Noah said. -via Clutch Points / September 6, 2024

Beverley, who is continuing his preparations for the new season with his team, made statements about the popularity he has gained with his new team on his own podcast, Pat Bev Pod. “Now I know how LeBron feels. I’m leaving a game and the players who were my opponents a moment ago want to take pictures with me. Even the opposing coaches want pictures. I go into a game and the opposing fans boo me when the ball is in my hands. After the game, 30-40 kids come up to me all of a sudden and want to take pictures with me. It’s the same in every country I’ve been to. Today we had a friendly in Belgrade, and I must have taken at least 50 pictures after the game.” -via EuroHoops.net / September 5, 2024
