I don’t have very many well adjusted opinions on this whole thing.
Cleveland is fucking stupid for putting their entire offseason on hold for this and then botching it.
LeBron is a moron for not returning to the one city that would have loved him regardless of results.
Today feels like a major failure for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Mike Gansey was their GM. They had an opportunity to trade for Jaylen Brown. They had a final opportunity to swing at Kyrie Irving or Anthony Davis.
And now it feels like they're no longer a top team in the East...
In America I ordered a milkshake and the young man turned it upside down over my head.
I did not move. A samurai does not flinch, even when the ice cream is above him and gravity is the law.
Nothing fell.
The cup hung there, upside down, defying the sky, and the boy held it over me with the calm of a man who has done this ten thousand times and buried his fear long ago.
This is the Blizzard. This is Dairy Queen.
If it falls, they told me, you get it free.
I understood at once. This was not dessert. This was an ordeal.
The boy was not showing off. He was swearing an oath, with his own arm, that he had made the thing thick enough to hang against the earth, and he was betting the price of it on his honor.
The flip is not a trick.
It is a vow.
In my land a smith proved his blade by cutting.
Here a boy of seventeen proves his by turning it over a stranger's head and looking him in the eye while the whole line waits to see if he lied.
He did not lie.
He set it upright, handed it to me, and said "there you go, man," then turned to the next customer as if he had not just gambled his good name across a counter.
I tipped him everything in my pocket.
He tried to give it back. He said it was just a Blizzard.
I told him it was not just a Blizzard.
I could not explain the rest in English, and there was a line, and he was busy.
So I bowed instead.
He said, "You too, man."
That answered nothing I had said.
It answered everything I had felt.
After leading the Cavaliers to the Eastern Conference finals, Mitchell could have waited until next summer for an additional fifth season worth an extra $80 million but instead committed early on a long-term extension on the first day he was eligible for a new contract to stamp his pledge to the city of Cleveland. This marks the second extension for Mitchell since arriving to Cleveland in 2022.
As proud, lifelong Clevelanders we've always shunned the National media...
We know there is ONLY ONE way to experience the🏆joy and that is w/ our local announcers
Here's Fred McLeod and AC…

The 73-win Warriors entered the Finals as the winningest team in NBA history, while Cleveland carried a 52-year championship drought.
On this day in 2016, Cleveland completed the first 3-1 comeback in NBA Finals history, winning three straight to capture its first championship 🏆
The New York Knicks are four wins away from their first championship in 53 years and the only thing standing in their way is a 9-foot-tall French Shaolin alien.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
Every season Cleveland keeps Donovan Mitchell on the roster further depreciates the 30+% of the cap they allocated to Evan Mobley.
1 of the most glaring examples of incongruence between a team’s two best players in the league, CLE MUST make a decision between them this offseason
