This sports journey is a story that will be told half a century from now and beyond in Lawrence, KS and in North Africa. Itโs an experience that will inspire glorious tales across the globe that will live on for many, many years. This is what itโs all about. ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฉ๐ฟ
๐ฉ๐ฟ A heartfelt thank you to the citizens and the Mayor of Lawrence for their incredible hospitality and warm welcome to the team and all the supporters.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the local police, the Sheriffโs Office, and the fire department for their outstanding support and presence throughout this unforgettable journey.๐ฉ๐ฟ๐ค๐บ๐ธ
What a journey with you ,truly grateful. ๐๐ผ
Remember those media outlets who said that Kansas City was not prepared to be a host city for the FIFA World Cup? Outside of transportation for the Argentina game, itโs been nothing but all positive things in KC, from the games, Fan Fest and all the watch parties.
This city deserves to host World Cup games and events and theyโve shown why.
๐ธ: OnsOrange, TwoCircles, FIFA World Cup KC
Kansas City ๐จ โฆ the odds are trending toward this being the July 3 Round of 32 game at Kansas City Stadium (Arrowhead, duh).
Started with Messiโฆ hopefully now Ronaldo. And Ghanaโs Antoine Semenyo.
Lady, I was born and raised in Louisiana on the heel of the boot, and love it unconditionally, but Kansas City, MO is more culturally diverse than the entire state.
OKC and many others deserve their apology. Wemby painted himself as the victim and really he became the enemy these last two rounds of the playoffs. Classless and arrogant doesnโt fly too often. But he is ๐ซ๐ท
Wemby didn't give a single Knick credit at any point this series, threw up an airball and then walked off the court first without shaking hands with anyone.
This kid fucking SUCKS bro he's earned a hatewatch for life
@PeteMundo Sure. But it costs a lot of money to host cool shit. And in reality, are you going to notice it in your bank account? Did your pockets shrink? When your property taxes skyrocket and you can directly link it to hosting World Cup in KC, then letโs talk.
OKC is a great franchise, run by great people, in a great city. As a Chicago kid, basketball died after MJ. OKC turned me into a basketball fan again.
Jealousy and desire turned them into the โvillainโ this season. In reality, people wish wish their team were like the Thunder.
@CrainNBA Great take. It was fun for the whole league to villainize the Thunder (bc they were too good) and make up silly narratives to try to bring them down. Itโll be ten times worse with a 7โ5โ alien narrative that no one knows how to stop. Jokes on the league.
Chet Holmgren in Game 7 loss vs. Spurs:
4 PTS
1-2 FG
4 REB
2 TO
Attempted 0 shots in the second half.
His 5-year, $239.9M extension kicks in next year.
@LeeMurDoc_K@dailythunder Now the Spurs have arrived. This was my point. Does it become a blip on the radar for the Thunder or do they overcome this adversity and rewrite the rest of the narrative. The Spurs & Wemby are going nowhere & now they have the edge.
Hopeful they can get this figured out in Game 7. Being 0-4 in Game 6โs eventually comes back to bite you. Extra chances cannot be granted to Wemby & Castle. A win on Saturday definitely helps cement an arrival over an appearance.
โWe want it to be an arrival, not an appearance.โ
