Going to make the below tweet a thread of 'movies I probably should've seen by now but am only just watching for the first time'.
Join me on this adventure.
I don't understand why this case is not getting more attention. Another UNARMED BLACK TEENAGER shot by cops. This one in KC. So a black baby....the dog of a black women.....and yet another unarmed black teenager.

Jalen Brunson passed on $113 million to win an NBA title with his friends 🏆
When Brunson was eligible for a 5-year $269 million extension in 2024, he turned it down so that the Knicks could build a deeper roster.
Which at that point, they didn't really need to do.
The Knicks were already a contender in the east that just lost in 7 to the Pacers in the semis.
A series the Knicks could've easily won if it weren't for injuries.
Instead, Brunson signed a 4-year $156.5M extension.
That same offseason, the Knicks returned the favor by adding Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges 🙌
By taking less money, the Knicks stayed under the 2nd apron allowing them to re-sign OG Anunoby and Bridges to long term deals too.
Two years later, Brunson is an NBA champion and the hero that ended the Knicks 53-year title drought 🦸♂️
Even if the Knicks didn't win, Brunson said the journey and grind alone to try and win a title was already worth more than $113 million.
“Even if we didn’t achieve this, I feel like being able to do that and grind and go on a journey to try and achieve it would have been worth it, as well."
New York got themselves the perfect franchise player 🗽
You know Alex Pereira is super popular because people are up in arms over Ciryl Gane fouling him (in a fight he was losing) when 8 months ago the conversation was about how Tom Aspinall was a quitter for getting stabbed in the eyes.
