Sports logos are awesome.🧵

Team logos are usually the most recognizable, but many events like the Super Bowl and the Olympics have more elaborate and magnificent emblems.

I sifted through hundreds, maybe even a thousand logos of various sporting events to find the Top 100.

Iman Shumpert is a great example.. Was in 7th grade when LeBron was a rookie.. Entered the league in 2011, had a 10-year career, and has been out of the league for 5 years and is on ESPN

[𝔻𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕖𝕝 𝕆’𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟 @DanO_Bball]

As much as I’m over LeBron, the longevity is impressive.. There are guys who were in grade or middle school when he was a rookie, then they entered the NBA themselves in 09-11ish, had 10-12 year careers and are now retired/ commentating about LeBron.

The real Handmaid's Tale is companies paying their employees to go kill their babies in abortions so they can keep slaving away for the corporation instead of having a baby and taking maternity leave.

Only in midsize cities like Rochester can you have a wild bobcat sighting and an LA style police chase in the same day. Keep a safe distance from the backcountry wildlife, and also from reckless carjackers! 😬🤪

Well I’ll be damned, he did it. Brunson joins Curry and Isiah as the only guys 6’3” and under being the unquestioned top dog on a title team in the modern era. Heck of an accomplishment when height and length are so valuable in this sport. https://t.co/oESQxmwBDe

[𝔻𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕖𝕝 𝕆’𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟 @DanO_Bball]

*By my count*, in the past 40 years, there have only been 2 NBA champions who are 6'3" & under to be the indisputable best player on their team:

Isiah Thomas in 1989 & 1990
Steph Curry in 2015 & 2022

That's it.

The Knicks are probably the most mentally-tough basketball team I’ve ever witnessed.

[𝔻𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕖𝕝 𝕆’𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟 @DanO_Bball]

Never seen so many visiting team fans at an NBA Playoff game, let alone a Finals game.

[𝔻𝕒𝕟𝕚𝕖𝕝 𝕆’𝔹𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟 @DanO_Bball]

Who has the craziest fans among NFL/NBA/MLB?

Not talking Best, Most Loyal, or Biggest.

I’m asking who’s loco.

IMO the 3 in the mix are Eagles, Bills, & Knicks. Maybe prime black hole Raiders?

Due to the nature of the beast, no MLB team quite gets there. Maybe Yanks or Sox?

Teams down 20+ points in postseason last 2 years:
Knicks 5-3
Rest of NBA: 4-71

Well at least he has this going for him: it’s going to be a while before anyone overshadows his legacy at Syracuse https://t.co/Thb6febXOA

Jokic took his number, Lamelo took his nickname, KD took the Olympic record, Harden took his top 10 scoring spot, and now Brunson took NYC from him

List of No. 1 Overall Draft Picks from the past 25 years to be the first or second-best player on an NBA Finalist squad:

LeBron (10x)
Dwight (2009)
Kyrie (4x)
A.D. (2020)
KAT (2026)
Wemby (2026)

Give em credit. Statistically, most #1 picks don’t lead their teams to the Finals.

Completely hypothetical comparison. Also, what if Head Coach 2 happened to end a 14 year playoff drought in his 2nd season on the job?

Broke a 14-year playoff drought

I'm pretty sure the Knicks could beat the Mets at baseball right now

The #Nets have been to the finals twice since the last time the #Knicks have. I just wanted to say that one last time before it’s not true anymore 😭😫

Luke is inspiring as a Catholic, honestly. People may laugh at this, but he's serious. He cites Christ as a big part of his journey to this point.

Talked with him about Lent back during the Rodeo Road Trip. Super cool to get to know him, in that sense. #PorVida

Awesome day to be a CNY/WNY sports fan. Both the Sabres and the Cuse ripping off 6+ unanswered goals during comeback playoff W’s. 🍊x ⚔️

Had the follow the #LetsGoBuffalo game in the car on the way to a hotel for the night after covering 🍊🥍 on Long Island but man what a damn gritty effort. Lyon gets pulled and a 6-0 run from there! Jack Quinn finally connecting. Bring on Game 7.
