Anthony Bourdain: “…the world is, in fact, filled with mostly good and decent people who are simply doing the best they can. Everybody, it turns out, is proud of their food (when they have it). They enjoy sharing it with others (if they can). They love their children...”
Jeremy Lin says he was devastated when the Knicks never made an offer to keep him after his Linsanity run:
“The Rockets offered $29,000,000… I would’ve taken $8,000,000 with the Knicks. I was crushed when my agent told me ‘there’s no offer from New York on the table’.”

Might be my favorite call up video ever. This is proof that if you work hard, it pays off. Rikuu is not a prospect, he’s probably not a guy a lot of people excepted to be playing in a #WhiteSox uniform in 2026.
But he’s a hard freaking worker. I’ve never seen him give up on a play. I’ve never seen him not give his 110%. Credit to the White Sox for giving a player who deserves this his chance.
(Not to mention his teammates absolutely adore him and the joy he brings to the clubhouse is irreplaceable.)
Get after it, Rikuu!!!
Marquette’s Nigel James Jr is set to be one of the most intriguing returning NBA Draft prospects in college basketball next season.
James had a standout Freshman season where he averaged 16/3/5 and 2 SPG, while also shooting 47% from the field and 35% from three. James also averaged 19/4/6 while shooting 49% from the field and 39% from three in Big East play.
James is set to be one of the best players in all of college basketball next season with his mix of finishing, shooting, athleticism, playmaking, defensive versatility, pace, and motor.
James had one of the highest rim pressure rates for a High Major Freshman ever and uses his burst, handle, pace, and athleticism to get to his spots and create for himself and his teammates. James is also a high level off ball player who shot 45% on catch and shoot threes and in the defensive end is extremely active.
Nigel and Trae Young were also the only freshmen since 2008 to have an AST% of 35, make 100 shots at the rim, and make 40 threes.
Whoever came up with the color rush in San Antonio deserves a large raise. This is outstanding. Also, for those not wearing shirts in other buildings, what are we doing? Too cool for this?
Spurs and their fans were more than ready for the first playoff game in 7 years. A++.
