Any other player in the league does this would be ejected. The fact this has now happened in back to back games and hasn’t been called for it is egregious.

This is a 6’2 guard bullying his way to the paint, getting position and settling into a one-legged fadeaway to tie the game.

Genuinely one of the greatest scorers alive.

@IHNYC3 @OfficialNBARefs The sad part is that this literally came true in the 3rd quarter with two phantom fouls in the span of a minute.

Stephon Castle on the biggest difference between defending Jalen Brunson vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander:

"Jalen likes to use angles a lot more, pump fakes. Get to his spots. Not really trying to draw fouls as much, trying to get to his midrange and spots where he likes."

@Tranquil_Papa @WhettFarts @TheHoopHerald The Villanova trio has said Jay Wright made practicing two footed jump stop moves a part of every session. Elite level of fundamentals.

What was with our society’s obsession with quicksand when we were kids? At the time I genuinely believed it was one of the world’s leading causes of death. Every birthday marked another 365 days of somehow avoiding quicksand,

John Harbaugh as Yoshi. Tom Coughlin as Mario. Eli Manning as Luigi. Shaun O'Hara as Donkey Kong. All for the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund.

The Jay Fund brought the Mushroom Kingdom to life recently for families tackling childhood cancer. They hosted five families for an afternoon of go-kart racing, arcade games and food. Also gifted each family with $5,000 to help cover transportation costs related to treatment, including gas, car maintenance, rideshares, and travel to medical appointments.

@prophecyghxost @charlirock2016 100% agree, went to both with my graduating Nova senior and his friends this spring, Kelly’s pumping horrible club music after a 45 minute line to get in was brutal. Meanwhile, the Grog pours a nice Guinness.

Mike Tirico told me his secret.

It wasn't talent.
It wasn't luck.
It was what he does on every flight home.

A few years ago, I met him at a restaurant bar in Indianapolis during the Big Ten tournament. One of the biggest voices in sports.

He didn't lead with his résumé. He introduced himself. He asked questions. He cared about every person in the room before anyone cared about him.

Eventually, I asked him what made him great.

He said after every game he calls, on the flight home, he pulls up the broadcast and watches it back.

Listens to his own voice. Hunts for the misses. The dead air. The calls he wishes he could have over.

Every game. Twenty-plus years in.

He wasn't born world-class. He worked his way there one flight at a time.

The best in any room are usually the ones still grading themselves the hardest.

World-class isn't a personality.

It's a habit.
