每个星期天，核心最敏锐的头脑都会突出本周篮球界最轻松的时刻。
以下是本周吸引我们眼球的内容。
注意：怪异的一周包含粗糙的内容。在国际航运航道航行时不要阅读。肉桂壳虾尾不包括在内。
苗条收割者：精英高音
凯文·杜兰特并不像红字那样戴着“NBA最在线球员”的称号，而是一枚荣誉徽章。当这位网队球星本周在推特上告诫一位仇恨者时，他的态度和他在球场上的态度是一样的。
没有放松冠军。当我在推特上的时候不要放松。在我关闭应用程序的那一秒之前我一直在10点。你放松！！
-凯文杜兰特2021年3月23日
让这件事提醒我们，杜兰特和你我一样，只是他非常擅长谋生。愿他永远不会注销！
T-Ross在孤独的阶段发推特
魔术神枪手特伦斯·罗斯在周四的交易截止日期有一天值得纪念。”就像他们说的，罗斯就是这么做的，他看着奥兰多把尼古拉·武切维奇、亚伦·戈登、埃文·福尼尔和阿尔·法鲁克·阿米努送到了更绿色的牧场。
哈哈，如果你不笑，你就哭🤣🤣🤣
-特伦斯·罗斯2021年3月25日
浏览罗斯从3月25日开始的一系列帖子，可以第一眼看到一个NBA球员经历了孤独的阶段，从否认开始——“我并不孤独，我是孤独的”——再到接受——“她就是这样的。”
这就是路，伙计。
埃文·特纳进军房地产
现任凯尔特人助理，前开拓者队老将埃文·特纳在欢迎诺曼·鲍威尔来到波特兰的同时，让人们知道他的房子在市场上，他一下子被两个鸟迷住了。像孩子们说的那样，把包拿好。

猛禽孵化奇特伦特中风的运气
Gary Trent Jr.加入猛龙队参与上述鲍威尔交易，如果你是所谓数字模式和事件之间神秘联系的粉丝，请看这个奇怪的巧合：
1998年，老加里·特伦特从开拓者队被交易到猛龙队41场比赛，进入了他的第三个NBA赛季。23年后，小加里·特伦特从波特兰队被交易到多伦多队41场比赛，进入了他的第三个NBA赛季季节。野生🤯 pic.twitter.com/xkrvS7AzEJ
-山顶篮球2021年3月25日
奇怪的事情又发生了
说到花环和奇怪的巧合，足协有三名球员都使用了这个名字，而且这三名球员都是在周四的交易截止日期前搬走的。
除了特伦特前往坦帕加入多伦多移植队外，掘金队还把小加里·哈里斯送到了奥兰多，加里·克拉克则相反。如果你努力的话，你是无法弥补的。
如果你在读这篇文章，那就太晚了-洛瑞还是个猛禽
德雷克在周三战胜掘金队后打断了凯尔·洛瑞的记者招待会，电话中这位多伦多说唱歌手自称是洛瑞的翻译。
凯尔·洛瑞在赛后新闻发布会上回答了@Drake的FaceTime。😂韦特诺思pic.twitter.com/EIqjOckrpS
-体育网2021年3月25日
在大多数专家和球迷认为劳里将在最后期限前最后一次代表多伦多出战的背景下，德雷克的出现对猛龙球迷来说是一个不错的轻浮来源。最后，洛瑞一直呆到夏天。现在笑，以后哭。
火箭燃料
在上周火箭队20场失利的惨败宣告结束后，名人堂球员卡尔文·墨菲（Calvin Murphy）肯定会好好享受这一时刻。

曼恩的回旋曲不太好
Top Shot和其他不可替代的代币可能很流行，但Terance Mann更喜欢老式的收藏品形式。这位快船队的大二学生也是新队友朗多的粉丝，他从中学起就把那张狗耳朵的卡片放在钱包里以证明这一点。

普卢姆利有一些正确的举动

红发赎金
一些读者对上周关于勇士队新秀尼科·曼宁与《木偶》中的比克有着松散的相似之处的说法表示不满。如果你是无数表达不满的读者之一，我们道歉。
要说清楚的是：尼科可能看起来像是爱发牢骚的奥斯卡，但除了几百名职业选手外，他几乎还烤着这个星球上的任何人。
这感觉像是一个很好的机会来关注NBA的历史传奇的红头发的芭蕾者。比尔·沃尔顿，布莱恩·斯卡拉布林，马特·邦纳，布莱克·格里芬，顿特·迪维森佐，凯文·休特。。。就连丹尼斯·罗德曼在他整个职业生涯的各个阶段都是俱乐部的荣誉会员。
泰德·马蒂亚斯/法新社/盖蒂
“哦，这个？不知道，我醒来的时候是这样的。”
似乎是为了强调这一点，斯卡拉布林-这位“白曼巴”本人-本周早些时候在当地rec中心挑战43岁的凯尔特人游戏分析师的年轻雄鹿被浪费了。

原标题：
Weird Week in Hoops: T-Ross tweets through it, KD claps back
原文：
Every Sunday, theScore's most discerning minds highlight the week's lighter moments from around the basketball universe.
Here's what caught our eyes this week.
Be warned: Weird Week contains coarse content. Do not read while navigating international shipping channels. Cinnamon-encrusted shrimp tails are not included.
Slim Reaper: Elite tweeter
Kevin Durant doesn't wear the distinction of "NBA's Most Online Player" like a scarlet letter, but rather a badge of honor. When the Nets star took to Twitter this week to admonish a hater, he did so with the same gusto as when he takes the court.
There’s No relax champ. No relax when I’m on Twitter. I’m on 10 until the second I close the app. You relax!!
— Kevin Durant March 23, 2021
Let this be a reminder that Durant is just like you and me, except he's remarkably skilled at what he does for a living. May he never log off!
T-Ross tweets through the stages of loneliness
Magic sharpshooter Terrence Ross had himself a day to remember during Thursday's trade deadline. "Tweet through it," as they say, and Ross did exactly that as he watched Orlando ship Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon, Evan Fournier, and Al-Farouq Aminu to greener pastures.
Lol if you don’t laugh, you cry 🤣🤣🤣
— Terrence Ross March 25, 2021
Have a scroll through Ross' litany of posts from March 25 to get a firsthand glimpse of an NBA player going through the stages of loneliness, starting at denial - "I'm not lonely, I'm alone" - and progressing to acceptance - "That's the way she goes."
That's the way of the road, Bubs.
Evan Turner's foray into real estate
Current Celtics assistant and ex-Trail Blazers vet Evan Turner got two birds stoned at once when he welcomed Norman Powell to Portland while letting it be known his house is on the market. Secure the bag, as the kids say.
Yooooooo. 😂 pic.twitter.com/COrMSxSd1j

Raptors hatch odd Trent stroke of luck
Gary Trent Jr. joined the Raptors in the aforementioned Powell deal, and if you're a fan of the allegedly mystical bond between numerical patterns and events, behold this bizarre coincidence:
In 1998, Gary Trent Sr. was traded from the Blazers to the Raptors 41 games into his 3rd NBA season.23 years later, Gary Trent Jr. gets traded from Portland to Toronto 41 games into his 3rd NBA season.WILD 🤯 pic.twitter.com/xkrvS7AzEJ

Peculiar Gary correlation strikes again
Speaking of Garys and strange coincidences, there are three players in the Association who sport the name, and all three were moved before Thursday's trade deadline.
In addition to Trent heading to Tampa to join the Toronto transplants, the Nuggets sent Gary Harris Jr. to Orlando, with Gary Clark going the other way. You couldn't make this up if you tried.
If you're reading this, it's too late - Lowry's still a Raptor
Drake interrupted Kyle Lowry's press conference following Wednesday's victory over the Nuggets with a FaceTime call in which the Toronto rapper claimed to be Lowry's translator.
Kyle Lowry answered a FaceTime from @Drake during his post-game presser. 😂WeTheNorth pic.twitter.com/EIqjOckrpS
— Sportsnet March 25, 2021
In the context of what most pundits and fans thought would be Lowry's final game for Toronto before a deadline-day move, Drake's appearance was a decent source of levity for Raptors fans. In the end, Lowry stayed put until the summer. Laugh now, cry later.
Rocket fuel
After the Rockets' 20-game losing slide came to its merciful conclusion last week, Hall of Famer Calvin Murphy made sure to relish the moment.

Mann's not-quite mint condition Rondo card
Top Shot and other non-fungible tokens might be all the rage, but Terance Mann prefers the old-fashioned form of collectibles. The Clippers sophomore is also a fan of new teammate Rajon Rondo, and he has the dog-eared card he's kept in his wallet since middle school to prove it.

Everyone knows the college game moves at a slower pace, but this is ridiculous - it's like watching Paint dry.

Plumlee has some of the right moves

Redhead redemption
A few readers took umbrage with last week's suggestion that Warriors rookie Nico Mannion bears a loose resemblance to Beaker from "The Muppets". If you were one of the countless readers who voiced displeasure, we apologize.
To be clear: Nico could look like Oscar the Grouch and still broil pretty much anyone on this planet, save for a few hundred of his fellow pros.
This felt like a good opportunity to spotlight the NBA's storied history of redheaded ballers. Bill Walton, Brian Scalabrine, Matt Bonner, Blake Griffin, Donte DiVincenzo, Kevin Huerter ... even Dennis Rodman was an honorary member of the club at various points throughout his career.
TED MATHIAS / AFP / Getty
"Oh, this? No idea; looked like that when I woke up."
As if to underscore the point, Scalabrine - the "White Mamba" himself - laid waste to a young buck who dared challenge the 43-year-old Celtics game analyst at the local rec center earlier this week.
