Former Wizards Landry Shamet, Dillon Jones and Trey Jemison III have won an NBA championship with the New York Knicks.
It marks the ninth time in 10 years that at least one former Wizard has won the NBA Finals.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Trae Young on being doubted:
"This is the most slept on I’ve been in my whole life."
"Imagine the Wizards as the No. 1 team in the East next year… Trust me, I’m probably just entering my prime. The way people talk about me is just funny."
An Indian woman slaps the gun from the hand of the WHITE ped0 who tries to rob her store, even a 40+ Indian woman has higher grip strength than a WHITE man 😭
India has sent 96 people to America who started billion dollar companies. No one else is even close.
There's only about 5 million Indians in America. Almost one in 50,000 of them is a unicorn founder!
What a holy, special, beautiful people.
I will always fight for them.
Indians belong to one of the world’s oldest continuous civilizations. Meanwhile, Americans are largely descendants of people who were thrown from Europe.
So Hey f*king Frisco, you pathetic coward India sends nearly $240 billion into the US economy every single year with our talent, trade, and sweat, and this is your disgusting response?
Ripping our flag in public like a weak, racist clown throwing a tantrum over “invasion”?
You’re not angry at immigrants you’re terrified of hardworking, intelligent Indians who are actually building this country while you cry and lash out.
Meanwhile you stay silent about your own leaders who are p*dophiles . The hypocrisy is sickening.
Hang your head in shame, calm the hell down, and stop embarrassing yourself.
