Tech coming back a second year because there are two Ls in “tortilla.”

Teagan Kavan in Oklahoma City is like Vince Young in Pasadena. Legend.

[Longhorn Republic 🎙️ @LonghornPod]

Unfortunately we may not see her get a hittable pitch the rest of the series. Enjoy this beautiful swing if it is her last of the season (unless an Atwood intentional walk situation repeats).

This shot of Wemby in the starting lineup was incredible

Tears they ain’t got shit to do in Oklahoma so some grown ass multi millionaires still pulling up to Sonic

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

With a 96-inch wingspan and the uncanny ability — at a height of 7’4” — to not just dunk the ball but also hit 3-pointers, “Wemby” (Victor Wembanyama) of the San Antonio @Spurs, is widely rumored to be a space Alien.

I am not authorized to comment further.

Victor Wembanyama shares a prayer with the Spurs nuns before the game. 🙏

The WCWS is a battle of the aces‼️

Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady and Texas' Teagan Kavan have gone head-to-head five times, but Kavan has dominated, winning all five games and throwing two shutouts 😤

What is going to happen in Game 5??? No matter, #GoSpursGo - Corgi has declared it!

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

THE PREDICTION WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR 🔮

Air Corgi shares her pick to win the 2026 NBA Finals 🏀🏆

[claire de lune @ClaireMPLS]

dunno if it’s possible to overstate how potentially transformative it is to have a player like wemby become the face of the nba. a bunch of boys/young men growing up seeing this kind of unabashed raw emotion and care factor is big time

[Brooks Otterlake @i_zzzzzz]

I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School

great call

"[Pop] goes through some things we can't even imagine. I need to call him. I need to see him, talk to him. There's no way I can understand how he feels. When I talk to him, it's gonna be only a story in my head, except if I record it in secret. I need to talk him so quick."

[Tom Petrini @RealTomPetrini]

What a quote from Wemby to end his media availability:

"I can go through hurdles that I didn't know those hurdles could get so high. It's just pushing through, I found resources inside of me, relentlessness. I already knew that, but doing it at this level, I mean, this is the best basketball on the planet that's being played right now... and the crazy thing is, maybe I'm crazy, but I want to do that 15-20 more times. Let's hope it doesn't become an addiction... maybe it already is."

The Oklahoma City Thunder, including playoffs

- lost 8 games to the San Antonio Spurs
- lost 14 games to the other 28 NBA teams

[Automatic @automaticnba]

For the FIRST time in NBA history, there will be 8 straight unique champions across an 8-year span.
