Bucks sending Torrey Craig to Phoenix, but no word yet on for what.
EDIT: Sounds like Suns just sending cash.
There arenāt as many Jews in Oklahoma City as there are in Miami, so itās a good fit for Meyers.

I commented on this Reddit post with the same anecdote.
Our high school played OCS when Taylor Griffin was a Senior. Iāve never seen anything like it. Dunked on everyone. Looked like a man among boys. Was the most impressive athlete Iād ever seen in person. They told us his younger brother Blake was even better and I couldnāt imagine how that was possible. Taylor had a cup of coffee in the league. His brother, it turns out, was better.

I used to play pickup ball a Cleveland State University. Each summer, Cleveland local stars who played at colleges around the country would return to the city and just dominate the court.
One day, Ron Harper, then his prime, walked in and joined the game.
All those dominating college players may as well have turned into statues, as ineffective as they were against Harper. And then to think there was a level far above Harper in Michael Jordan.
Itās just inconceivable how good even an NBA journeyman is.

Looked like he traveled like 5 times no?
Prime Ron Harper (i.e., before he got to the Bulls) was certainly above NBA journeyman level.
For sure. I think what I wrote happened just after he was traded from the Cavs to the Clippers (much to fansā dismay) and he was still awesome. I think Brad Sellers, who played a stint with the Bulls, and Mouse McFadden, a Cleveland State legend, were also in that game.
By journeyman I was referring to the likes of Scalabrine.
And those werenāt even the standard traveling that you seen uncalled in a NBA game, those were all egregious.

Harper was on his way to being better than Mike Jordan before his ankle and then his knee were ruined.
I dig the spirit of your post though, itās good to appreciate how good at their craft people are, but tied into that is the realization that the difference between the best basketball player and the thousandth best basketball player in the world isnāt that big.

lol he traveled five times each of the five possessions they showed
This is true in every sport. One of my colleagues used to coach hockey in Toronto, low level recreational for kids, and one player was the kid or nephew of a former NHL goon (Nick Kypreos). Nick was a bad NHL player but he used to help my friend coach the kids and he was an amazingly fluid skater and powerful shooter even years after retirement. A lot of success is pro sports in about being able to do stuff with almost no space and time.
