Charles Barkley says he won $1M gambling SEVEN times, and lost it TWENTY-FIVE times
"I love to gamble. I got to the point I would go to Vegas and I'd win a million dollars. I play $25,000 a hand, quick double down, you get it up out your pockets"
"Probably it's been 7 times that I won $1,000,000. But there's probably been 25 times I've lost $1,000,000"
The Austin area is about to explode with new companies moving to the area to serve SpaceX. That and the rest of Musk's companies are going to be jet fuel for growth in the area.
Manu Ginobili was asked how much Tim Duncan and David Robinson help Wemby:
“They come often. They come often to the team. Especially in the summer. Once the season starts we leave them space. They are always a resource…. That young man doesn’t need much. He has the whole package. He’s incredible and he’s so mature for being 22”
Rookie mistakes ,Spurs up 14 points and lose game 1 NBA Finals . Wemby needs to post up play , drive in the paint make them foul the team , play more aggressive. #GoSpursGo
Texas is the growth engine of the Western world.
With 32 million people, Texas generates nearly $2.9 trillion in GDP. Elon @elonmusk ‘s new Terafab project in Grimes County is projected to add another $1 trillion to the Texas economy over the next decade.
At current pace, Texas will surpass France 🇫🇷 in GDP by 2031.
For comparison: France has 66 million citizens and a GDP of roughly $3.3 trillion. Yet Texas GDP per capita is nearly twice that of France.
President Macron and his government should take a hard look at why a single U.S. state is creating wealth at this scale.
This piece from the Economist gets the gist right but the dynamism and understanding of the sheer scale of what’s happening is missed.

“It’s an honor to be a part of a team and a franchise that has the quality of the people.”
@spurs CEO R.C. Buford joined me on Spurs Postgame Wrap to reflect on a special Game 7 win and another trip to the NBA Finals.
In NBA history, only once has a player had:
150+ points
75+ rebounds
50+ FT made
15+ threes made
15+ blocks
10+ steals
...over any 7-game span, regular season or playoffs.
That one instance was Victor Wembanyama in the Western Conference Finals to oust the defending champs.

• Refs miss a goaltending call
• Ball goes off Chet’s foot
• They ignore the coach’s challenge request
• SGA gets free throws
• Mitch Johnson is hit with a tech
• Lu Dort and Tony Brothers laughing on the sideline
Ref literally helping the Thunder, literally the momentum was gone for the spurs.
