Duncan Robinson’s love of basketball started with his big brother, Eli. But when Eli got older, he began to struggle.
It takes incredible strength to share a story like this. Thank you, Duncan, for your vulnerability. Well done @mcten. I know this hit close to home.
A'ja Wilson, the WNBA's first ever four-time MVP, is signing a three-year, $5 million supermax contract to return to the Las Vegas Aces, sources tell me and @Andraya_Carter. The deal, which is the largest in WNBA history to date and fully guaranteed, was negotiated by Jade-Li English of Klutch Sports Group.
Not defending Geno by any stretch but ESPN showed the scorer’s table video of him waiting on Dawn after the player intros, as is custom. That’s what he’s referring to, where he stood there for nothing (getting his ego hurt, probably). Still, c’mon Geno. Ridiculous.
Since I need to cover UCLA-Oklahoma State women's basketball on Monday night at Pauley Pavilion, I will be unable to walk home from Philly. I apologize for the inconvenience.
“There’s not plenty of time for guys to continue to play that may never get to play again.”
Teams declining bowl invites makes me think of Tom Crean’s comments just a year and a half ago.
Play the game.
Michael Jordan when asked if he still loves the game:
“Love it like you wouldn’t believe. I wish I could take a magic pill, put on shorts and go out and play the game of basketball, today…it’s what I live for, I miss it.”

"I haven't picked up a ball in years…I rented a house...and [the owner] had a bball court. He says, 'I want you to shoot one free throw.'…When I stepped up to shoot the FT, it's the most nervous I've been in years."

Just picked up takeout for me and my friend.
I already paid $43 for two meals.
You didn’t bring it to my table. You didn’t refill my drink.
You tied the top of a plastic bag and spun an iPad around asking for a 25% tip.
I’m so sick of this new trend.
PS: I tipped zero.
BREAKING: ICE is asking people to stop clogging their hotline by calling in and reporting an undocumented girl named “Anne Frank” hiding in the top floor of various Republican lawmakers’ houses.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed to ABC News that it issued new guidance to pause most raids on farms, restaurants, and hotels, after Trump earlier this week shifted his stance on targeting undocumented workers in those industries.
"Effective today, please hold on all work site enforcement investigations/operations on agriculture (including aquaculture and meat packing plants), restaurants and operating hotels," senior ICE official Tatum King wrote in an email to leaders of the ICE department that generally carries out criminal investigations.

BREAKING - Reports out of Los Angeles say a man is placing “MAGA” stickers on protestors’ cars in an attempt to make them turn on each other and destroy one another’s vehicles.
So many kids need this advice 😤😤
"Every other decision is the right one. Screen away, front cut, back cut, space away from the ball. The last thing we can do is just do this. It's the weakest move in basketball."
