Spurs forward Carter Bryant makes his second-year Summer League debut Thursday at 3:30 pm CST against San Antonio native Kingston Flemings and the Atlanta Hawks.<\/p>\n
The Summer Spurs will play at least four games in Las Vegas after going 0-3 in the California Classic.<\/p>\n
Vegas Prep: Yahoo\u2019s Kevin O\u2019Connor posted a list of the top 50 players to watch in Vegas<\/a>. Not much love for the Spurs \u2026 Bryant is nowhere to be found (that\u2019s a big oopsie) and Tarris Reed, Jr., is way down the list.<\/p>\n From Mark Zuckerberg to El Jefe? Jesse Eisenberg, an Oscar-nominated actor most known for the lead role of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, recently said his dream role is playing Gregg Popovich<\/a>. Eisenberg on Pop: \u201cI just find him to be the most fascinating person on the planet. Here\u2019s this tough coach who cries sometimes and talks about the plight of America, and yet he\u2019s also this terrifying figure who can be so mean to journalists. People like that are fascinating because, on the one hand, they\u2019re known to be very nasty, and on the other hand they\u2019re these bleeding hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n Top of the Heap: Speaking of Pop, he came to mind Wednesday night when Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve became the WNBA\u2019s all-time regular season wins leader<\/a> with 380. Like Popovich in the NBA, she now holds both the WNBA\u2019s regular season record and overall mark (including playoff victories). Interestingly, Reeve\u2019s career winning percentage ranks behind just one person: former Spurs assistant and Silver Stars guard Becky Hammon, the head coach for the Las Vegas Aces.<\/p>\n Highest Bidder: Darren Rovell reports<\/a> that various items from the recent NBA Finals brought in big money through a Sotheby\u2019s auction. Various New York Knicks\u2019 game-used jerseys collectively approached $2 million while Finals-branded court panels from Madison Square Garden and a net from Game 5 combined to eclipse $500,000.<\/p>\n By George: Last week\u2019s Philadelphia-Boston blockbuster trade has some calling Paul George \u201cthe most valuable player in NBA history<\/a>.\u201d Given that he\u2019s been traded for All-Stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jaylen Brown plus other good players and a slew of valuable draft picks (we see you, OKC), it\u2019s a compelling argument.<\/p>\n Word Play: On a recent NBA Radio show on Sirius XM, Zach Harper and Chris Haynes debated the words that need to disappear from the league\u2019s vocabulary<\/a>. Their picks were \u201coptionality\u201d and \u201ccurated.\u201d What words do you think need to be banned from the NBA? Let us know in the comments below!<\/p>\n
