“Whatever 12 guys they select next summer, I just hope to be one of them”, Curry said. “Unfortunate as it was, I’d like to hope and believe we don’t have another one for the next 10 years”. You can be sure Coach Mike Krzyzewski is not giving away his roster spot. “Players have to make decisions that are in their own best interest one way or the other”. “He was willing to postpone his honeymoon.

We got back on the horse in Bilbao, Barcelona, and Madrid. “But, I’ve said very publicly that if LeBron wants to play next year, he’s got a spot”.
