@ItWasSoniya Can you elaborate?

Stephen A. Smith claps back at Trump:

“The brother wasn't awake. If it was that important for you to be there, why did you look like you were asleep? Didn't you call out former President Joe Biden, 'Sleepy Joe'? Well, what should we call you?”

15 years ago, today

Jason Terry hit a 30 foot DAGGER over LeBron, giving the Mavs a 3-2 lead in the 2011 Finals ✈️

[GEORGE @itsGeorgeyy]

Jalen Brunson is now 30/81 in the series and has the same number of assists as turnovers

[Law Murray 💊 @LawMurrayTheNU]

Through 11 quarters of the NBA Finals, the Spurs are outscoring the Knicks by 14 points when Jalen Brunson has been on the floor

Knicks outscoring Spurs by 24 points with Brunson off the floor.

[Fluka Magic @FlukaMagic]

The Knicks have been statistically FAR worse defensively with Brunson on the court than the Mavs with Luka in their respective finals

JB
— 113 DTRG on
— 97 DTRG off
— (+16)

Luka
— 107 DTRG on
— 120 DTRG off
— (-13)

Jalen Brunson also has the WORST FG%/TS% in NBA finals HISTORY

[Law Murray 💊 @LawMurrayTheNU]

Jalen Brunson has as many turnovers (13) in this series as assists (13)

And 82 points on 81 shots (37% FGs)

Louder than the boos for the Spurs, louder than any boos I've heard in this building in a while.

[✯🪄 @beanflxing]

Casually averaged a 50 point triple double 😭

[Jack Settleman @jacksettleman]

Trump LOUDLY booed during the national anthem

DONALD TRUMP GOT BOOED BY KNICKS FANS 😭😭😭😭

Luka Doncic playoff step-back 3 reel

[LUKA WAS TAKEN @ExMavsFan77]

@KirkSeriousFace Gotta look at the overall body of work and longevity too. There’s a reason he’s as high as he is in total points scored. Plus he was a #1 for a majority of his career, at least in his prime.

[Kirk Henderson @KirkSeriousFace]

Absolutely. Dirk failed a lot. He also had the fewest all star and all nba teammates of just about anyone to win a MVP/ring. That one ring is largely viewed by anyone who watched as one of the toughest ever. Went through four once/future MVPs and something like 10 HOF guys

[Sean @seanbush3]

This KAT run is a great story but I kinda think the similarities to Dirk basically end at the fact that they’re both perimeter shooting PFs tbh

Their career arcs aren’t really similar at all

[Kirk Henderson @KirkSeriousFace]

Am I taking crazy pills? This article implies Dirk was a playoff decliner in terms of production until 2011… he *averaged* 25-10 over 143 playoff games. In the regular season he was the best player on a team that won 50+ for over a decade straight.

SGA in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals:

Brunson vs Luka first two NBA finals games

19.0 31.0
3.0 8.5
4.0 9.5
41.7% TS (🤢) 59.3% TS

Everybody can be mid and still win because of roster construction beside Luka

15 YEARS AGO TODAY...

Dirk Nowitzki drove in the game-winning left-handed layup in Game 2 of the 2011 NBA Finals to even the series at 1-1!

[Kirk Henderson @KirkSeriousFace]

It’s great KAT is having a great playoffs. I’ve enjoyed it. I am actually rooting for him. This is nothing like Dirk’s run. Nothing at all, really. Their roles. Their opposition. Why they struggled to begin with. There’s simply not a comparison.
