BILL WALTON 1952-2024: Our Tribute To a Great Bruin

1952-2024… YES – LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I HAVE HEARD THIS SAD NEWS. In fact, I was in my bathroom when I overheard the TV news person announce Bill Walton’s death; I didn’t even know he was sick with cancer, which the UCLA and NBA (including a stint with the Clippers) legend apparently didn’t want anyone to know. Unlike more or less everyone else, I enjoyed his commentary at basketball games,…

[ James Harden Traded Again ]

CLIPPED (June 2024): Six-episode dramatization, based on an ESPN podcast series, of the 2014 scandal surrounding then L.A. Clippers owner and real estate tycoon Donald Sterling (played here by Ed O'Neill, once again demonstrating his zeal for unflattering roles), whose much younger mixed-race girlfriend V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) sent a recording of his racist remarks to TMZ — while being sued by Sterling's wife Shelly (Jacki Weaver) over Sterling's expensive gifts — leaving Clippers coach Doc Rivers (Laurence Fishburne) struggling to hold the already-shaky team together through the fallout. LeVar Burton, a friend of Rivers, appears as himself.

Based on a podcast about the scandal, the show is structurally and tonally reminiscent of the 2016 miniseries AMERICAN CRIME STORY: THE PEOPLE VS. O.J. SIMPSON, although unlike the earlier show, it takes a while to cohere if you're not already familiar with the story. Its best moments are in the third episode, which looks at the impact on the mostly Black players, and in the fourth, which is mostly a flashback to the younger Rivers in 1992, grappling with aftermath of the L.A. riots. Its biggest weakness is its weird ambivalence about Stiviano (still notorious for her "his silly rabbit" and "his right-hand arm" gaffes), alternating between sympathy and painting her as an opportunistic dingbat. Since the only other Black female character in the show (V's friend Deja, played by Yvonna Pearson) is presented as a mean-spirited bitch, one gets the feeling creator Gina Welch — who is white — does not have a high regard for Black women in general, which sits ill given the greater nuance afforded Shelly Sterling. VERDICT: Decent real-life soap opera, but I'm not sure the dramatization adds much to the original podcast.

Steve Ballmer on Paul George’s departure: It was best for Clippers

Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer believes that letting Paul George leave in the offseason was the right decision for both the player and the team. After George opted out of his contract with the Clippers and signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, Ballmer expressed his confidence in the direction the Clippers are taking without their former All-Star forward. Speaking to ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk,…

Boston Celtics Acquire Colton Iverson in 2013 Draft

On June 27th, 2013, the Indiana Pacers traded the draft rights of Colton Iverson to the Boston Celtics for cash considerations.

The summer of 2013 was a year of transformation for the Boston Celtics. Head coach Doc Rivers departed for the Los Angeles Clippers. Two days later, the Celtics would continue to shake up its core. During the draft, the Celtics agreed to trade veteran stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Brooklyn Nets.

In the draft, Boston got bigger. In the first round, the Celtics drafted 6-11 perimeter threat Kelly Olynyk. In the second round, Boston bought the 53rd pick in the draft from the Indiana Pacers, and selected Colorado State center Colton Iverson.

Standing seven-foot tall, Iverson played one year at Colorado State averaging 14.2 PPG and 9.8 RPG while shooting 59.6% from the field. Prior to Colorado State, Iverson spent three years at the University of Minnesota before transferring while in search of a featured role. The bet paid off as the big man earned first team All-Mountain West during the 2012-13 college season.

After being drafted, Iverson joined the Celtics' 2013 Summer League entry in Orlando. The seven-footer appeared in five contests and compiled 5.0 PPG and 5.4 RPG in 16.7 MPG.

Though Iverson had hopes of making the team, he never joined Boston for training camp. Iverson signed a deal with Besiktas of the Turkish Basketball League.

Iverson rejoined the Celtics for 2014 Summer League in Orlando. He had hopes of making the team's regular season roster heading into the 2014-15 season. The big man appeared in five summer league games, amassing 6.4 PPG on 65% from the field, 2.4 RPG and 0.6 BPG in 15.8 MPG. After Summer League, Iverson signed a one-year deal with Spanish basketball team Baskonia.

Going into the summer of 2015, Iverson had plans to rejoin the Celtics again for Summer League. However, he soon realized a limited chance of making the roster and signed a deal overseas with Pinar Karsiyaka of the Turkish Basketball League.

In the summer of 2016, the Celtics renounced their rights to Iverson, allowing the big man to pursue other opportunities in the NBA. 24 years old when he was drafted, Iverson was no longer a spring chicken at the age of 27. Opportunities to make an NBA team was a fleeting thought.

Iverson never played in the NBA after his rights were renounced. He played professionally in Israel, Russia and New Zealand among other places.

Colton Iverson on his skill (via ESPN Boston):

"I think my best basketball is playing five-on-five; so if I can get in, get rebounds, get stops, set screens, get in the pick-and-roll -- that's what a lot of the NBA is nowadays, pick-and-roll, and that's my strength. Just do the little things and show the team that I'm ready to play right away."

On his plans to stay with Boston rather than go overseas:

"The Boston Celtics drafted me and I have every intention of playing with them next year."

On his decision to transfer and the impact it had on his career:

"I wouldn't be [drafted] right now if I didn't make that decision to transfer. I improved a lot in the season off, did everything I needed to work on in my game, and you could see my growth my senior year. It definitely paid off, I got drafted and I'm looking forward to a long NBA career." "I knew it was a risk -- high-risk, high-reward situation. Most people were definitely saying, 'You're crazy. What are you doing?' Now that I'm here, everyone's saying they didn't say it."

On not getting to learn from veteran Kevin Garnett who was traded to the Brooklyn Nets on the same day Iverson was drafted:

"Now that I'm here, I don't look up to anyone really," said Iverson, showing a bit of that confidence and toughness. "It's like, 'I'm going against you; let's go.' It would have been great to have him and learn from him, but moves happen."

On not being able to choose his jersey number 45:

"I guess if you can't get your number, you've got to go with something random. There really is nothing left. Thirty-seven seemed like a pretty unique number. I kind of liked it."

Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge on Iverson (via ESPN Boston):

"Colton is a player that we were excited by in the draft and had him ranked much higher than he ended up going. We were really fortunate to acquire a second-round pick to get Colton. "Colton is a kid that we've watched since his freshman year of college at the University of Minnesota. We loved his intensity from Day 1 and identified him as someone that we needed to keep a real close eye on."

On Iverson's work ethic:

"When he transferred to Colorado State, you could see how his work ethic and intensity continued, his confidence grew with opportunities. [Iverson was] one of the leading rebounders in the country. You know, for a guy to rebound at the level that he rebounded, it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of effort. He's put a lot of work into his body and he's gotten much stronger. And [he] just has a great intensity about him."

Iverson's agent Adam Pensack on Boston's interest in the center (The Coloradoan via ESPN Boston):

"During the season, maybe even before I even talked to Colton or his family, I spoke with the people in Boston, and they said they liked Colton back then. Celtics director of player personnel] Austin Ainge said all along that he really believes Colton is an NBA player. He has been probably Colton's No. 1 fan throughout the entire season and throughout the entire draft process."

Adelaide 36ers condemn online racial abuse of NBA recruit Montrezl Harrell

Former NBA star Montrezl Harrell, who now plays basketball for the Adelaide 36ers, has been racially abused online. The Adelaide 36ers basketball team has condemned the racist comments, which happened after Thursday night’s 10-point win over South East Melbourne Phoenix. In a statement posted to Instagram, the 36ers said racist comments were directed at one of their players on social media after the game. “In moments like this, the 36ers and the NBL stand together to educate people about the harmful impacts of racism and online abuse,” the statement read. Harrell shared the racial slurs, which were from an anonymous account, to his social media. The slurs also included references to his death. The club called out the incident 16 hours after Harrell’s post. The 36ers said the incident had been reported to the Basketball Australia integrity unit. A club spokesperson did not believe the incident had been referred to South Australian Police. Harrell was an NBA Sixth Man of the Year. (Supplied: ESPN) Harrell had a strong match against the Phoenix, scoring 14 points. A spokesperson for the Phoenix said “while it appears to not be a Phoenix member, we want to make it clear we do not condone this”. Basketball Australia has been contacted for comment. Harrell brought in as a replacement The 36ers announced Harrell would be joining them last month to replace injured player Jarell Martin. At the time, 36ers head coach Mike Wells said Harrell would “bring energy at both ends of the floor” while “adding toughness”. “Montrezl will bring that professionalism with a lot of years in the NBA and his competitiveness is great and he will bring that to the organisation,” Wells said. Harrell has played more than 500 games in the NBA for the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers. Wells also has extensive NBA experience, coaching several team in the US since 1995. Head coach sacked The racial incident comes at a tense time for the 36ers after the sacking of head coach Scott Ninnis in August, just six months after he was appointed to the role. After being contacted about the racial incident, the club released a separate statement regarding Ninnis. Former head coach Scott Ninnis was dismissed a quarter of the way through his contract. (ABC News: Dean Faulkner) It said the club had met with Ninnis last week to discuss matters relating to his departure. “Both parties are pleased to announce that all issues have now been resolved and Ninnis is supportive of the club moving forward,” the statement read. Grant Kelley, Adelaide 36ers executive chairman, said it was important for both parties to move forward and look towards the future. “Scott is a club legend and we are glad to have his support,” he said. “As a club, we have a full focus on what is ahead for us and are excited for the NBL25 season.” The club statement said Ninnis said he was “thankful to put the past behind him” and was looking forward to supporting the club. “I am happy that we have been able to sort things out,” Ninnis said. “I wish Grant and the club all the best for the season ahead and I’m looking forward to attending games this season.” Scott Ninnis was replaced by Mike Wells, who was originally appointed as an assistant coach earlier this year.
