one month ago today I successfully summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, and of course I had to take my @nuggets championship t-shirt all the way to the top! It has been announced from the roof of Africa that the Denver Nuggets are NBA champions🏆@DNVR_Nuggets

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Niggas be fake demons

[Ryan Rueda @PlayoffDude]

When Foot Locker, rappers, NFL peeps, and fans from other fanbases are all calling out OKC and the refs while defending the Lakers, that tells you just how bad the officiating was last night.

[۟ @outthewaytre]

Why is everyone on OKC such a fucking bitch

[LakersMuse @LALMuse]

PrizePicks, who is a OFFICIAL PARTNER OF THE NBA is calling out the refs for helping the Oklahoma City Thunder

That’s how bad this has become

I’m obsessed with the idea that someone, somewhere, is having the best day of their life right now.

A proposal, a baby’s first laugh, a song they’ll never forget.

Today is that day for someone.
It makes me so happy.
