And he's young as shit still. Fun to see a spark of growing talent on that team.

Granted, they beat a Wade-less Miami, but it was on the road. They've been impressing me. I may have to invest in a few games this year.

It's been four-plus years since Washington went over .500. The Wizards will get a chance to end that streak in their next game.

John Wall had 23 points and 11 assists, and Washington beat the Chicago Bulls 96-93 on Friday night for its third consecutive victory.

The Wizards (19-19) reached .500 for the third time this season. They host lowly Detroit on Saturday night with a chance for their first winning record since they were 2-1 on Oct. 31, 2009.

Ouch.

Losing to lowly Utah at home will get you that kind of description though.

And if I'm the Cavs' GM, I take Joel Embiid or listen to offers to move down a couple of spots and get him there. Kyrie Irving, plus Andrew Wiggins, doesn't sound like a friendly match.

Report: Darko Milicic Retires from Basketball to Become a Kickboxer

Darko Milicic, the center who was infamously picked second overall by the Detroit Pistons in the loaded 2003 NBA Draft, is apparently done with hoops at the age of 29, and according to NBASerbia, the big fella is entering the world of kickboxing in his home country.

The seven footer bounced around the NBA, playing for six teams and posted career averages of 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds in 468 games.

Darko hasn’t played in the L since the Boston Celtics cut him loose in 2012.
