It was a comeback unlike any other...@TigerWoods wins @TheMasters, 11 years after his last major and his first green jacket since 2005. This win might be Tiger’s greatest achievement ever. https://t.co/Dog00QmyGM

Wembanyama just got away with a landing zone flagrant that would have forced the league to suspend him if there's a game 6. That tracks.

Got my 20-0 before my 82-0.

Getting closer...

[Brandon Raper 🌹🍑🏆 @Brandon__Raper]

Best 82-0 I've drawn so far. Still not sure this crew is losing 17.

All. Of. This.

Bring back home whites (yellow for the Lakers, we'll allow). Darker unis on the road. Sundays and prime time games can be Statement/City Connect/whatever.

I see we have some new players in the NBA jersey arena. Its ethos, and our fight, has been centered around one key principle: home basketball teams wear white at every level of the game, in every league in the world. It is quite simply a basketball tradition, without it being a written requirement.

What Nike has done has not only oversaturated the market with mostly unpopular designs, but uniforms that get left behind after just one season. The constant turnover has one goal: sell as many jerseys as possible, at any cost, even at the expense of the franchise’s brand equity. It is a statistical fact and focus group tested/proven that children like new jerseys, and their parents buy them.

Non-white City Edition/Classic uniforms are often worn at home, it has a minimum appearance mandate because of the NBA’s partnership with Nike, forcing the away opponent to have to wear their home whites when they’re chosen.

Every NBA game that’s played where the home team is not wearing white is a papercut to the sport’s tradition. Not the NBA’s, but basketball’s. It won’t be a tradition that’s destroyed overnight, but as children grow up and it becomes more-and-more accepted because it was never something they cared about or understood, the home whites will eventually be perceived to be just another option.

You will rarely, if ever, see an NHL home team in their away white sweaters. Even though it’s the opposite of basketball, NHL/hockey have always maintained the tradition of the home team’s fashion look.

I like to think they do this because it is something their paying customers appreciate and continue to support with their wallets.

What the NBA doesn’t understand is the sales spreadsheet may suggest that this new jersey strategy is working because so many people are buying them, but what they are sacrificing to achieve these short-term results is the legacy of the sport that made them so cool in the first place.

This business strategy, undoubtedly, will lead to apathetic fashion, market dilution, and diminishing returns with no ability to revert back — because that culture, both literally and figuratively, will be dead.

They pay this man millions for garbage takes like this.

(And yes, I understand I'm giving exactly the kind of engagement that they pay him for)

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

Dangerous cheap shot by Gobert, sticking his foot under Wemby before he came down from shooting a 3. It's the PaCheapShot rule that knocked Kawhi out of Game 1 vs Golden State.

[Brandon Raper 🌹🍑🏆 @Brandon__Raper]

If anybody out there wasn't positive about that call, read Skip's take.

Generally if Skip says something, just think the absolute opposite. You'll probably be right about 90% of the time.

[Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless]

COME ON, DON'T THROW WEMBANYAMA OUT OF A GAME 4. THEY WERE ALL OVER HIM, FOULING THE HELL OUT OF HIM. SO HE GOT FRUSTRATED AND FOUGHT BACK. JUST RIDICULOUS. JUST GIVE MINNESOTA THIS ONE. 2-2 GOING BACK TO SAN ANTONIO.

[Brandon Raper 🌹🍑🏆 @Brandon__Raper]

Good call tossing Wemby. That was a garbage cheap shot.

[Brandon Raper 🌹🍑🏆 @Brandon__Raper]

Wembanyama wound up on that elbow. Toss him.

[Brandon Raper 🌹🍑🏆 @Brandon__Raper]

Throw Wemby out of the game.
