CBS: Did you get to show everything you can do at Arizona? Alkins: For sure I feel like I’m definitely going to showcase a lot more in the NBA, especially with the spacing and the three-second rule. That three-second rule is a killer because of the fact that you can’t stay in the lane and pack it like college. In college, you can just stay there the whole time. Now the guy has gotta be out the way. It makes it a lot easier to get to the rim. Pick-and-roll is going to be easier because of the fact that there’s a lot more space in the NBA, there’s not that much help. Basically you’re just like on an island. Watching James Harden and actually talking to James, who told me, like, a couple tips — basically what he does when he’s at the top of the key, he’s dribbling the ball and he’s not even worried about his first defender. He’s not worried about the guy guarding him.
When it comes to winning the ESPY award for best male or female athlete, a championship helps but the hardware is not necessarily required. Jose Altuve of the World Series champion Houston Astros and Alex Ovechkin of the Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals are both first-time nominees for the award. But so are New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Houston Rockets guard James Harden.

James will have three full weeks now to dig into the various options, study the landscape for the most fertile locales for title contention and, perhaps most crucially, make clandestine connections with the starry likes of Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and, yes, Paul and James Harden to explore the prospects of teaming up somewhere with stars of that ilk. But this is as far as I’ll go with guarantees before the LeBron Sweepstakes officially begin: James will not feel as though he owes Cleveland anything after these last four seasons.
