“I seek approval from no man but the man above”
- Jaylen Brown (probably)
Ramona Shelburne on the Sixers:
"I've been hearing Embiid's getting to the gym early, he's down to his rookie weight, this is a new Joel. Everybody's trying to kind of earn LeBron's approval and respect. I think there's an interesting quality to this now in Philly. I saw this here in Los Angeles in 2020, when Anthony Davis and LeBron James first got together for that full season, they won a championship. Anthony Davis was like trying to impress LeBron. Like, he played every game, There was a tide lift amongst the stars too with the LeBron James effect. That's what I've been hearing out of Philly so far is this sort of LeBron is one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest, and everybody kind of wants his approval"
