Nikola Jokic on the Lu Dort flagrant foul: "Unnecessary move, and a necessary reaction. There is no such thing — I think there's not supposed to be those things on a basketball floor. So it was just an unnecessary move and a necessary reaction by me."

From Nuggets reporter Bennett Durando


Nikola Jokic on the Lu Dort flagrant foul: "Unnecessary move, and a necessary reaction. There is no such thing — I think there's not supposed to be those things on a basketball floor. So it was just an unnecessary move and a necessary reaction by me."


Jokic said he was confident he wouldn’t be ejected because “I didn’t do nothing.” He said it wasn’t worth commenting further when asked about the situation escalating between him and Jaylin Williams after the initial reaction to Dort.

Alperen Sengun continues his all star season tonight in Prime Time: 13 Points | 6 Rebounds | 3 Assists | 4 Turnovers | 43% TS | -16

Sengun continues his phenomenal season, with this being his 5th straight season out of 5 seasons of having below average TS%. He will need to learn how to shoot in order to become a real piece of a contender

Deandre "Not Clint Capela" Ayton in the blowout win against the Warriors: 4 PTS (2/5 FG, 0/2FT), 10 REB in 20 mins

Despite the huge blowout win by the Lakers, Ayton continues to play with minimal effort in this game and the blowout has nothing to do with him. He was grilled by Mike Breen and Tim Legler because he literally jogging back to defense in Q1 for multiple times and let the Warriors easily scores layups. Against the shorter defender (I remember it's either Payton or Spencer) he refuses to dunk the ball and spins 360 to miss the bunny. This guy is not serious with extremely low motor. He is certainly not Clint Capela because he is worse than Clint in all facets.

I’ve never seen an 2x all star with so many flaws like Sengun.

Yes he’s a 2x All Star, but whenever I watch him play, it’s just doesn’t scream all star to me.

He can’t shoot threes

He misses a ton of easy layups/hooks that average centers make

He’s not a good defender

He’s not a good screener or a lob threat.

He’s also very inefficient for a center that doesn’t shoot threes. Most of his attempts are at the rim.

Obviously he’s not a bad player, he’s a 2x All Star for a reason. But i just don’t see it.

If you removed every game where LeBron scored less than 20 points he would still be the all-time scoring leader!

LeBron has 38416 points in just the games where he has scored 20 or more! Kareem scored 38387 points in his entire career. LeBron has 1313 games with 20 points or more. That is more games with 20 points than total games in the careers of Hall of Famers Scottie Pippen (1178), Patrick Ewing (1183), Steve Nash (1217), Pau Gasol (1226), Hakeem Olajuwon (1238), Julius Erving (1243), Carmelo Anthony (1260), Ray Allen (1300), Elvin Hayes (1303), and many others.

Among active players, Steph Curry (1065), Kevin Durant (1179), James Harden (1202), DeMar DeRozan (1248), and Russell Westbrook (1293) have currently played less than this total as of February 28th, 2026.

Kareem held the scoring record for 39 years. He also previously held the record for most 20 point games with 1122 before being surpassed by Karl Malone's 1134, and later being surpassed by LeBron.

https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/nba-most-games-with-20-points

LeBron originally set this record on February 25th, 2026 when LeBron recorded his 1312th 20-point game. Scoring 38,394 points in just the games where he had 20 points or more.
