Favorite line so far and it was delivered by Shaq:

"One of my teammates told me Kobe was upset because I was not passing him the ball enough, so I said, don't worry, I'll talk to him. So I went up to Kobe in the locker room and said, "Kobe, remember, there is no "I" in team." Kobe responded, "Yeah, but there is a "me" in there somewhere motherf@ucker."
Shaq brought the house down with that one.

" Hours after speaking at Kobe Bryant's memorial service in Los Angeles, Sabrina Ionescu flew to the Bay Area to rejoin her Oregon teammates and proceeded to do something never done before in college basketball.

Driving the news: Ionescu became the first player in NCAA history, man or woman, to reach 2,000 points, 1,000 assists and 1,000 rebounds in No. 3 Oregon's 74-66 win over No. 4 Stanford.

"That one was for [Kobe]. To do it on 2-24-20 was huge. We talked about it in the preseason. I can't put it into words. He's looking down and proud of me and happy for this moment with my team."
Ionescu, per ESPN
Bonus: Ionescu also notched her 26th career triple-double (21-12-12), 14 more than any other player, and helped the Ducks clinch at least a share of their third straight Pac-12 regular-season title. And did I mention she did all of this just 50 miles from her hometown of Walnut Creek?

Why it matters: This monumental achievement cements Ionescu's place among college basketball's all-time greats and puts Oregon in position to write a storybook ending to her career with a national title." Axios

Incredible accomplishment for Ionescu. She also broke the NCAA Women's record for career triple doubles ... during her sophomore season. I watched her play a game in high school. She is off-the-charts dominating.

Her speech at the Kobe/Gianna memorial was pretty inspiring, too.
