If you're an NBA fan, this past Wednesday will go down as one of the wildest days in free agency history. Let's recap. It started with the epic emoji battle between the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks as they pursued the signature of DeAndre Jordan which spread to other players and teams around the league. There were reports circulating that the Clippers contingent that went to visit DeAndre's home was preventing Mark Cuban and Chandler Parsons from visiting him. Then, ESPN's Chris Broussard and his sources shared a "report" about Cuban which caused the Mavs owner to fire back at him on Twitter. Just crazy stuff.
At the time, we said that this whole ordeal would make for one amazing 30 for 30 down the road, but Grantland's Zach Lowe jumped the gun and spoke with J.J. Redick about what started the emoji war.
And, of course, what really happened on the night they got Jordan to sign on the dotted line.
Thank you, J.J., for clearing that up because if we had to base our recap on Paul Pierce's piece in The Players' Tribune, we would still have questions for days.
