Interview: Alperen Sengun on his offseason and the 2025-26 Rockets
In a Turkish interview published Sunday, reporters with Socrates Dergi spoke with Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun ahead of the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 competition. Now 23 years old, Sengun earned his first career NBA All-Star honors last season, and he's expected to have a key role on a Houston squad that enters 2025-26 with championship aspirations. 'The Turkish superstar first talks about All-Star weekend, his ongoing relationship with Fred VanVleet on and off the court, and Jalen Green's departure,' Socrates Dergi writes in its summary. 'Afterwards, he also shares his thoughts on Kevin Durant joining the team; the playoff series against Golden State Warriors; gaining playoff experience as a team; how the Rockets keep growing (their) physicality and its main figure, Amen Thompson; and Ime Udoka's coaching philosophy.' While spoken in Turkish, the interview contains English subtitles. Courtesy of @FranchiseSengun on X, here's a roundup of what Sengun had to say regarding the above topics and more. Sengun on Areas of Offseason Focus As you know, I sort of lost my touch this season. I focused on this a lot, my shots and finishing. Of course, my conditioning, as well. This helped me a lot last season in my defense and ability to play longer minutes. And finally, my shooting. Sengun on 'Double Big' Lineups When Ime Udoka introduced the double big lineup, it made my job a lot easier. Having to constantly be physical with the opposing center on defense, and then switching to offense, became very tiring. [With the double big] my performance increased, and I had more energy on both ends. Sengun on Relationship with Fred VanVleet Fred has been an incredible leader since he first joined the team. He does a lot you don't see on the court. Controlling and leading the team is not easy, and he also does this when he's not playing. In my opinion, there is not a single point guard like Fred in the league. Nowadays, point guards are focused on getting their shots. Fred is not like that. He sees the potential in me. Fred [and Ime] get mad and argue with me time to time, but it doesn't last long. He's always in my ear. Sengun on the Jalen Green Trade Of course it was upsetting — Jalen was like my brother. Jalen comes off as a very cool kid, of course. But when you get to know him, he's super kind, he's always helpful. Some players, they try to act 'cool' around their teammates, but Jalen wasn't like that. I think Jalen is going to be a big player. I told him, 'I hope this makes you more motivated.' Sometimes he battles with himself, I think he will become more mature and no longer do this. Sengun on Kevin Durant I reached out to Kevin and told him I'm excited to work together. He said, 'We're going to have fun and do a lot of great things.' Last season I told him one game, 'Don't come to double me, let me play one one one.' He said, 'No way, you're an All-Star now. You're no longer going to play one-on-one. Get used to it.' Sengun on Steven Adams The day he (was traded for), I directly called Ime Udoka and Rafael Stone and told them, 'Normally, when a team signs a center of Steven Adams quality as a backup, they wouldn't be happy.' But I was extremely happy. Steven's main focus is for us to get better. For example, he sometimes lets me get shots off to raise my confidence. He doesn't care about losing [in practice]. He's a great veteran. I'm sure he does, but I've never seen Steven Adams lift weights. He has his own unique workouts. He spends a lot of time stretching There was one workout where my only job was to box him out. I bear hugged him so he can't get the rebound, he lifted his arms, and I thought my shoulders were going to pop off. Sengun on 2025 Playoffs The Warriors were probably the one team that would have gave us the most trouble, and we drew them. They're a very experienced team, and they fouled a lot. In the playoffs, they don't call it. But they were the ones crying all series about fouls not being called. When it comes to us, we're not really allowed to complain. It's more of an internal thing. Ime Udoka doesn't allow it. He loses his mind if we complain. Sengun on Playing Against Draymond Green Never in my life has something like this scared me. If anything, it makes me angry. Sengun on Amen Thompson Amen is an incredible athlete. There is seriously nothing else like this Amen is very hardworking. As you know, in the NBA there is other things like 'fit' [clothing] culture. Amen is strictly basketball. He works hard in practice, takes his recovery seriously He makes the most of his God-given athleticism. Sengun on Thompson's Injury There was one game, Amen needed an an assist or something to get his trouble-double. Normally, Ime Udoka doesn't leave you in the game if there is a big score difference. There were countless times he didn't put me back in the game when I was close. But that game, Udoka let him play, and Amen twisted his ankle. After that I joked saying 'Amen, you ruined it for all of us. Now Udoka will never let me continue to play [to get a triple double].' Sengun on 2025-26 Season There will be a lot of pressure this year, but I think the entire team has the strength to handle it. We are now like soldiers — Ime and his soldiers. I think everyone is extremely focused and working hard. I hope we will live this excitement, and will allow others to feel the same excitement. Sengun on the Western Conference The West is dangerous. You can say there is no bad team. But this is also good for us... it will get us ready for the playoffs. You play more focused against better teams. Sengun on All-Star Honors It was great being with the other stars, to get to know them. It was upsetting not to be selected for All-NBA. This was one of my goals. But these sort of things motivate me. So this season, my goal will be to be All-NBA and become a champion. Even if I don't become All-NBA, as long as the team is successful [that is what matters].

John Stockton admits he is not watching the NBA anymore because it's way too soft: "Fans want you to go out there and do what they can't do, not go out there, shake hands and hug"
John Stockton admits he is not watching the NBA anymore because it's way too soft: "Fans want you to go out there and do what they can't do, not go out there, shake hands and hug" originally appeared on Basketball Network. The NBA has undergone a radical transformation from its earlier iterations. Gone are the days when brawls were almost a regular fixture, especially in the rugged '80s and '90s. Today's game is a positionless spectacle where nearly everyone, from the smallest guard to the tallest big man, is encouraged to fire away from deep in the name of analytics and offensive efficiency. The bruising battles in the paint have been replaced by pace-and-space and load management. All of that has made a number of players from past eras distance themselves from the game they once lived and breathed. And for one of the greatest floor generals the league has ever seen, the changes have been enough to kill nearly all interest in tuning in. Stockton is disconnected from the modern NBA One of the most respected legends of the past, and arguably one of the best pure point guards to ever lace them up, John Stockton admits he simply doesn't have the time, or the desire, to watch much of today's NBA. Sure, life after basketball is different. Stockton is a father, a grandfather, and a man with responsibilities far beyond the hardwood. But the Hall of Famer says it's more than just a busy schedule keeping him away. The product itself, in his eyes, doesn't excite him like it used to. "I'm not watching a bunch of it. Life's busy…" Stockton said and went on to explain why the Association has lost most of its aura. "Things that I see, I do think it's soft, where you have guys that can take, like, twenty days off. What do they call it, load management? Can you imagine your dad coming, 'I'mma take a few weeks work off.' You know? Well, who is going to feed us then? These guys do it, and they are supposed to be examples and the league allows it," Stock pointed out. For a player who built his career on durability — Stockton famously missed just 22 games in 19 seasons — seeing stars routinely sit out without injury is a tough pill to swallow. And he doubts this trend will stop anytime soft, too friendly Stockton doubled down on his view of the modern product. For him, the game's heart isn't just about skill, it's about combat, about rivalry and about giving the fans a battle they can't get anywhere else. "The load management, the salaries are off the charts, the style of play is… these kids are talented, man, they can make shots. Because they can make shots everybody thinks they should be taking them. There is less strategy, there is less physicality… I think people are looking for gladiators out there, they want you to go to war. They want you to go out there and do what they can't do, not go out there, shake hands and hug each other," the Utah Jazz icon added. It's a familiar theme from legends of past eras: today's players are too soft, the competition too friendly and true rivalries are few and far between. While the league is still filled with undoubtedly skilled, talented and athletic marvels, Stockton believes it's missing the edge that once defined it. Whether that competitive spirit can ever return in an era of billion-dollar TV deals and multimillion-dollar superstars remains to be seen. But for players like Stockton and many others who thrived in that old-school do-or-die environment, the NBA he sees today feels more like an exhibition than a war. And for him, that's reason enough to keep the channel on something other than story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.

Mark Cuban said Dwight Howard blew it by joining Houston over Dallas in 2013: "Obviously, he made a mistake in judgment"
Mark Cuban said Dwight Howard blew it by joining Houston over Dallas in 2013: "Obviously, he made a mistake in judgment" originally appeared on Basketball Network. When you think about Mark Cuban getting rejected in free agency by a star big man, DeAndre Jordan — at the center of one of the NBA's most infamous offseason dramas — is likely the first name that comes to mind. However, it wasn't the only time Cuban chased a dominant center and came up empty. Another case came in 2013. This time, the object of his pursuit, who ultimately went elsewhere? Soon-to-be Hall of Famer Dwight Howard. Howard's post-Lakers move In the summer of 2013, the Mavericks and Rockets, along with reportedly three other teams, pitched their cases to the then 27-year-old Howard in California. Both offers had their pros and cons, and ultimately, it was up to the superstar center, coming off a disappointing season with the Los Angeles Lakers, to choose the best fit for him. As is often the case in such decisions, several factors come into play — including which star players are already on each roster. It makes sense: no player wins an NBA championship title alone, and the support of at least one elite teammate is crucial. Cuban, however, appeared to dismiss that reality. "You choose teams. You choose organizations. You choose coaches," he firmly stated, explaining that once a player reaches a certain standing in the league, that aforementioned free agency approach becomes irrelevant. "It's not about you'd rather play with this guy," the former tech entrepreneur added. "If you're that good and you have [salary-cap] flexibility, the right organization will put the right pieces around you and get you there." As we all know, Cuban is famously outspoken. True to form, his words soon took a different turn, as he publicly criticized the NBA star's decision. "Obviously, he (Howard) made a mistake in judgment," said the Pennsylvania Cuban right to critique? It's unclear if Howard's decision to join the Rockets was driven solely by the chance to play alongside the team's key player, James Harden, but having the 24-year-old star on the roster was certainly a bonus. On paper, their pick-and-roll chemistry and overall on-court dynamic certainly promised to be lethal. On the flipside, had the two-time DPOY chosen Dallas, he would have joined forces with Dirk Nowitzki, another elite player. They could have formed a dominant frontcourt, but at 35, the German legend was no longer as young and hungry as Harden. Still, that argument wasn't enough to sway Cuban. "If he (Howard) made a choice off of an individual player, yeah, he made a mistake," said the then-Mavs majority owner. Despite the seemingly fiery words, there was no ill will between Dwight and Dallas. Dirk called Houston "an up-and-coming team" that was going to be a "handful," and Cuban admitted he held no grudges at all. "Do I blame him? No. Young players make judgment mistakes," the now 67-year-old remarked. Ironically, the Mavs faced the Rockets in their second game of the season on November 1, 2013. Houston won 113–105 at Toyota Center. While Howard's stats weren't flashy, he dominated the boards with a game-high 16 rebounds, helping his new team triumph over the franchise he had passed on just months story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
