@NYCMayor I know a few teachers and New Yorkers who would benefit from less waste and fraud in the government.

Why not cut waste, fraud, and abuse before taxing anyone more?

A homeless person in NYC receives more funding than the salary of a single mom working a 9-5, maybe start there.

If you're an OKC fan, you'll probably ignore this, and that's okay. As a fan of your team, you have every right to do so.

The deeper issue isn't just SGA - though he polarizes fans the most, and for good (or bad) reason. If the NBA wants to become a watchable sport again, especially in the playoffs, it can't keep going like this.

Yes, the art of drawing fouls has been encouraged by the rules and the way games are officiated. But just because something is technically allowed doesn't make it good or exciting to watch.

As a neutral fan - someone who might be tuning into basketball for the first time, someone from outside the U.S., but also someone who's watched the game for over 30 years - I can only sit here and shake my head.

You think the focus on SGA is unfair because other players flop too? There are levels to this. The scrutiny is magnified because he's the reigning MVP and is likely going to win it again.

So the real question is: how does the NBA move forward? If the league doesn't change the rules or the officiating, why would SGA (or any other star) stop doing it?

Is it fun to watch? Is it good for the sport? Is it a great example for younger players and fans around the world? No. Do I understand why he does it? Absolutely.

Both things can be true at the same time. What's also true is that this has to be addressed and changed - and that responsibility lies mostly with the NBA, not the players.

5/2/2019 Noah Syndergaard throws a complete game four-hit shutout and homers for the only run in a 1-0 win over Cincinnati. Syndergaard becomes the first pitcher since Bob Welch in 1983 to homer in a 1-0 complete-game effort.

Mamdani would rather Americans die in a fire than illegals get deported. Not an exaggeration, that's the actual expressed preference here.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

The mayor wants criminals to know that if you resist arrest violently enough, the NYPD will have to let you go.

The mayor also wants the police to know that if they attempt to arrest a criminal who violently resists, he will take the side of the criminal every single time.
