Much congrats to a gritty UConn team that wouldn’t give up. For all those people out there trying to criticize Jon Scheyer, he is one helluva coach and one of the class acts in our game. He played the toughest schedule and ended as the #1 overall seed. Championships will be in his future. UConn players and coaches, you have my utmost respect🫡
The fastest way to expose yourself as a casual? Call Scheyer a choker.

I've seen many pro athletes and coaches in similar situations decline to take questions from the media, and frankly I don't blame them. Cayden Boozer is a college freshman and handled this with incredible grace and professionalism. Much respect to him and his family. He was raised well.
Jon Scheyer at Duke:
Culture: A+
Offensive execution: A+
Defensive scheme: A+
Toughness: A+
Recruiting: A+
Growth Mindset: A+
All while representing Duke at the highest level with respect, humility and appreciation - this video is him every day. Duke is incredibly blessed by Jon & the elite hoopers wearing that jersey.
Alignment wins. The leadership of Vincent Price and Nina King has set the stage for an unprecedented feat: winning the ACC in football and in men’s and women’s basketball. The standard is excellence, and the result is championships. 🏆🏆🏆
The least the @nytimes could do, would be to post the correction of their starving boy story on their main site with 55 million followers. That would help mitigate the damage they have caused.
It speaks loudly that the original story was on the front page, top-of-the-fold right column, and the correction is on some Times PR site that no one follows.
The correction of a story published to 55 million followers was sent to only 80k followers. Clearly, a purposeful obfuscation to bury the retraction.
Why is the Editor in Chief Joseph Kahn @JosephKahn allowing this to happen, or worse, serving as a principal factor in the story and in the fake correction?
With a story of this prominence, he has to have been involved in the editing and in the strategy around the correction.
And stories like this lead lunatics to kill. It’s not just the reputational smear of a country, it’s a call to violence against Jews.
Tell me why I am wrong.
Sad day for New York City. Right when it was coming back, it may elect a crime-loving, anti-Capitalist, anti-Semitic, socialist who really thinks city-run grocery stores and scaring away the tax base will work. Really pathetic and sad. Someone should run against in the fall. Working class mostly voted for the other guy, lol. Because they are smarter than the young “progressive” entitled, “educated”, pampered generation, who cannot answer basic economics questions, and have no historical knowledge.
