"That's just how I was raised. I feel like Northwood, the basketball gym felt like my home since I'm there so much, before, during and after school... I just wanted to help out. That was really it."
Okay, I'm going to say it. Okay. Okay. St. John's fans...I was rooting for St. John's [in the tournament]. Do I want to play them? Probably not, but I didn't want to play Duke either, so we were rooting for St. John's, and then when we went to the [Elite Eight] game, all those St. John's fans were rooting against us, and that broke my heart.
A sellout crowd packed Barclays Center to watch what might have been LeBron James' last game in New York. They saw King James give Brooklyn a royal thrashing. The Nets got beaten 125-109 by James and his Lakers before a crowd of 18,248 on Tuesday night. And it wasn't as close as the score would indicate. This was yet another desultory performance by a team getting all too comfortable with getting blown out and bullied around.
