What’s up, y’all? It’s been a minute but I wanted to check in from Shanghai.

On My Mind
The Case for Mexico City
It’s time for the NBA to take the next step in its international expansion and bring the NBA to Mexico City.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Happy Birthday, Mom! Thank you for being there for us, unconditionally and always.
The offseason begins
“Team” is fluid in the offseason, but should the core be kept together I think there’s excitement to come back better and hungry for more in 2020.
Midseason Report: Nuggets All-Stars, NBPA Wish List, Shaqtin’ A Fool
The NBPA meeting is in the Bahamas this year during all-star break. The NBPA is getting smart. I’m predicting record attendance. Any suggestions on what to lobby for from the league? Hard to complain as an NBA player, but if I go to the meeting?
Season Update: Solid Start
I would say the biggest surprise this season is how good our defense has been. Everybody keeps asking what has changed since last year.
Dubai Year Two
Last year’s camp in Dubai turned out to be such a good experience that we decided to do it again.
Summer Reflections, Hot Takes and a Few Predictions
I’ve had a bit of time to process last season and the bottom line is there are no excuses. We should have made the playoffs and we need to get there this year.
Travels: Montreal PDQ
Y’all know I love to travel. This summer I did a quick weekend trip to Montreal and had a blast.
Road Trippin’ with Richard
I had a chance to join my teammate Richard Jefferson for episode 63 of his Road Trippin’ podcast for Uninterrupted.
Beanie Season
I’ve always liked a good beanie to keep me warm, so this winter I decided to create my own. I liked the final product so much that I decided to make some available to fans.
Talking Sneakers on Reddit
I’ve been collecting sneakers for a while and am always looking to learn more, so Reddit seemed like a great place to have a conversation.
CHA>ATL>NYK
Every year there are a few cities I circle on the calendar because I know I’ll see a lot of family and friends. This year we hit three of those cities on one trip — Charlotte, Atlanta and New York.
Letter to Nuggets Fans
My name is Mason Plumlee. We met briefly last year, but I never had the chance to give you a firm handshake, look you in the eye and formally introduce myself.
South Africa
One of the lasting images of my trip to South Africa is of animals scattering everywhere as our bush plane descended onto the dirt runway near Phinda Game Reserve.
Dubai Summer Camp
We had kids from Egypt, Serbia, Morocco, the Philippines, Colombia, India and Algeria just to name a few. I was grateful that they wanted to be there, and humbled that their parents were willing to make it possible for them to attend.
K Academy
K Academy is like a reunion for former Duke players and fantasy camp for everyone else. I appreciate that Coach K does this because we’ll never have a homecoming or reunion that everyone can attend.
London
I just returned from London where my good friend Ben Levine helped open up a hotel in Shoreditch called The Curtain. We went for the official opening (which included a Giggs performace) and had an absolute blast.
Playoffs
I have Cleveland coming out of the East and Golden State out of the West. Anybody feel different? It’s an advantage when you can sweep a team and just be chilling waiting on the next round with your next opponent going six or seven games.
All-Star Weekend
All-Star Weekend was a great break for me. I was actually glad to be traded before the break, most moves happen closer to the deadline. Things happen so fast with a trade, it gave me some time to delegate logistics and get organized.
