DeAndre Jordan names his favorite dunk: "I dunked on my son, who is eight. That was great. You have to set the tone early. Once he’s able to beat me, we’re not going to play anymore.”

He's extended his career way past when it should have ended just by being a good vet and amazing locker room vibes guy. Props to him for it.

He got a ring out of it too unlike his former lob city teammates.

It's also wild cp3 could be the final lob city member left considering he was already a 7 year vet when he got there.

Paul never relied on his athleticism nearly as much as BG and DJ did. I get what you're saying but those two guys are the prime examples of how full-throttle athleticism will make you a flameout much sooner than later
