There have been over 1.4 million total 10-game spans by players in NBA history, including playoffs.
In none of them did a player have as many points, rebounds and assists as Nikola Jokić during the @nuggets' current 10-game winning streak (252 points, 145 rebounds, 127 assists).

@racheljwelcher@danae_hudlow I obviously did not write the story, but I look at it like the Prodigal Son. A selfish child with free will takes much, but finds it doesn’t satisfy. They find it’s not about the it’s about the stuff of the father, but the presence of the father.
@Serti@danae_hudlow I obviously did not write the story, but I look at it like the Prodigal Son. In the parable, selfishness is not seen as acceptable. And in both stories, we don’t see the tree/father as less, even though they gave up finite means. We see them as extravagant in their generosity.
@NonDenomMemes@danae_hudlow I guess I don’t read it that way. The tree doesn’t require gratitude, but gives of his own accord, because - like any good parent - it is his nature.
@katesbushislit@danae_hudlow That’s an interesting take. Although, Abraham ultimately doesn’t have everything earthly taken from him. Job on the other hand…
@ZucchiniCakes@danae_hudlow I see your point if the tree’s desire was to be great in stature, but the tree’s desire is to be with the boy. The boy was selfish, but the tree gave willingly. At the end, the tree is not small because its desire was not stature. The tree is happy because it got what it wanted.
@ZucchiniCakes@danae_hudlow But, once the child has grown and learned that all the other things he wanted don’t satisfy him, he learns to just rest in the tree’s company.
