When you tune in, you are on Dakich’s team. He will teach you. Lecture you. Tell you to “sack up.” He will hang up on you and call you an idiot.

“When you lose something like basketball, which is everything to me—I feel like I took a lot of things for granted in this game,” he says.

The Pacers’ Solomon Hill ruined the homecoming of prodigal son Lance Stephenson.

Where else are you going to wear all that gold? You know it’s not really your color.

It seems an injured Paul George has unfortunately idle hands.

From @KingJames: “Man just landed and got a message about @Paul_George24. Made me immediately sick to my stomach!! Praying for u a speedy recovery homie!!!”

@TheJennaBee at the Brickyard 400: “It’s only 9 am and I’ve already found my hero: a bearded gentleman wearing floral cut-off jorts. I love this place. #SuperWeekend”

Hijinks ensued that included that rapper/host, current Indiana star Paul George, and now-erstwhile Indy joker Lance Stephenson.

Of all Stephenson’s stunts last night, his most notable one was blowing into LeBron’s ear late in the game.

Via @TheJennaBee: “My boyfriend is watching wedding shows with me, in case you were looking for real life examples of Stockholm Syndrome.”

About tonight’s match-up against the Heat, via @trehagen, “Friday’s shaping up to be a doozy—I mean, if you think the No. 1 seed means anything.”

The Cali boy isn’t afraid of color or pattern, loves his Christian Louboutin studded shoes, and cleans up extremely well.

Paul George is a soft-spoken homebody who’s pictured more often with a fishing pole in his hand than a martini glass. The good news: George says he likes the newfound attention. “Now it’s just [about] getting out of my comfort zone and being part of big events,” he says.
