Wemby in hoops. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (15) in cricket. Both bending reality in ways we thought impossible. Early sources of gravity.

Through the 1st 3 games of the Finals, Jalen Brunson is averaging a 38 USG%, 48% On-Ball%, nearly double the amount of touches as the next Knick, 5.57 sec per touch, 5.3 dribbles per touch...all while posting a 41.4 eFG% and a -20 ORTG swing w/ just 13 assists to 13 TOs.

Very interesting and insightful 👇. Thank you David. Greatly appreciate your work and acumen.

[David Lee @dlee4three]

a Harper HB dive vs OG in transition is 0/3 but it's also probably more effective in a larger sample size the Spurs' halfcourt offense

can't tell Harper to not be aggressive but I'd definitely try and encourage him to hunt everyone BUT OG

The #NetPoints story of Game 3:
#Wemby: +7.8
Looking forward to the X's and O's adjustments both teams will make for Game 4.

@RK_DRAFT 💯, a wonderful point and an insightful reminder.

[Hooponomics @Hooponomics]

Dear #ESPN,
You have access to an in-house, really good advanced metric — Net Points — yet it's rarely used in postgame analysis, hours or days later. That's a missed opportunity. Net Points tells a clearer, more nuanced story than BPM.

I know it's a lot of numbers, but sometimes I just like looking at the progression of a series by player..
As always, Net Pts is how many points they added to the scoring margin, incorporating O and D.
It doesn't account for clutch time.

[Hooponomics @Hooponomics]

@SpursReporter Oh my gosh, this is terrible. I hope they are safe.
This is unacceptable. Most Knicks fans are genuinely respectful and amazing. Friendly trash talk is always welcome — manhandling is not. Anywhere in the world.

@SpursReporter @stephenasmith @IvSolly 😅😅

[Hooponomics @Hooponomics]

@DeanO_Lytics Interesting. I was expecting the dNet to be a bit higher. Thank you for sharing.

[Hooponomics @Hooponomics]

A terrific point 👇.
Thank you Dean.

[Dean Oliver @DeanO_Lytics]

Another example of how probability numbers *feel* different than a score.

Yes, an 87% chance of winning, though it feels like either team can win.

That's why I like expressing percentages using scores because 87% is nowhere close to a guarantee.

This was a priceless moment to consume. Content and experiences like this — in my opinion — are truly worthy.
A game of chess between a Grandmaster and the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu @CMOTamilnadu . Wholesome content.

[Praggnanandhaa @rpraggnachess]

My heartfelt thanks to the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru. Vijay sir, for honouring me today at the Secretariat.
Sharing a game of chess with you was a truly unforgettable experience!
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement to the game of chess. I will keep working hard to make Tamil Nadu and India proud!

Thank you for compiling this footage 👇
This same crew will either turn on him or drool over him. That's the nature of the hot-take business.
Another reason #ESPN is on mute most of the time. They should listen to wiser analysts like Legler and others — but they simply can't.

[JayTakes @SportsWithJay0]

Jalen Brunson took a $113 MILLION pay cut to give us the flexibility to land KAT, Mikal, and lock in OG. That’s how you build a contender.

And now we’re 2 games away from a championship. This clip is a reminder that if these people can talk about hoops, so can any of us 🗽

[Hooponomics @Hooponomics]

If true, I'm so glad the "Brunson Camp" laughed it off. The offer was ridiculous — and Brunson was worth far more.
A classic example of not just failing to read the situation, but the whole book.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

REPORT: Jalen Brunson and his camp “laughed” off the Mavs’ 4-year, $55M extension offer in 2022, per @TheSteinLine

“The Brunson camp basically laughed at them and said, 'Uh, we'll take our chances in free agency now, you guys had your chance.'... The Mavs still had the option at that point of picking up the phone and saying, 'Jalen, we completely screwed this up, we are deeply sorry, we've disrespected you, we want to make this right, we're going to offer you 150 over five.'”

The Knicks have made an official announcement detailing strict security protocols for Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, including a no-bag policy, TSA-style screening, and urging fans to arrive two hours early.

The measures are coordinated with the Secret Service to ensure safety for Trump as he plans to attend the game.
