If you're Adam Silver, are you looking forward to Lebrons retirement or dreading it?
Clearly brings a ton of money in for the league, but arguably one of the biggest prima donnas out there.
LeBron is reportedly "irritated" with Adam Silver pushing him for a decision, per @andy_baskin
James' camp was "ready to make an announcement" last week but decided to hold off ๐ณ
Jusuf Nurkic shared some thoughts about the Utah Jazz:
โTheyโre the best organization Iโve played for in my 12-year career.โ
โThe young guys on the team, I was having a hard time explaining to them. This is not the NBA. This is not every team.โ
โThere is a certain standard teams shouldnโt be below, but they are. When you have what you have, you wanna keep it that way. I think that was the hardest thing for me to explain to the young guys. This is elite, this is not everywhere else.โ
The feeling is mutual Big Nurk @bosnianbeast27!
I'm planning a few ticket giveaways this week, so I decided to buy 2 tix from a seller on @beehivetickets
Let's take a look at the transaction:
List price: $30/ticket x2 = $60
Beehive fee: $3
I paid: $63
Seller received: $60
Now what would this look like on a big marketplace? I found a listing for the same game, same list price.
List price: $30/ticket x2 = $60
Fees: $13.30
Buyer pays: $73.30
Seller receives: $54
TLDR: With Beehive, buyer pays $10.30 less AND seller earns $6 more. That's $16.30 kept in the hands of the fans!

Personal news: I built a thing. ๐
I'm a Jazz + Mammoth season ticket holder, and every time I sold seats I couldn't use, ~30% vanished into fees. So I built the fix to keep more money in the hands of the fans.
Beehive Tickets (@beehivetickets) โ fan-to-fan Jazz & Mammoth tickets. Sellers keep 100% of their price. Buyers pay one 10% flat fee, shown up front. Money's held by Stripe until your tickets are in your SeatGeek account.
First 100 sales pay just 5%.

And if you don't think they'll remember that moment. I still remember a gentleman giving me $5 at my lemonade stand as a kid and asked to always visit every lemonade stand I pass now that I'm older!
๐จ#BREAKING: A police officer in Phoenix has rented out an ENTIRE 144-SEAT MOVIE THEATER for over 100 middle schoolers after their end-of-year field trip fell through, so they could see Toy Story 5.
When they got there, he realized many couldn't afford popcorn or drinks...
..so he bought EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM popcorn, candy, and a drink too.
His name is Sean Reavies,
For many kids, it was their first time ever inside of a movie theater in their lives.
When the kids asked how they could pay him back, he told them:
"As you get older in life, help other people. As a payback to me. Would you do that? That's all I ask of you."
MORE OF THIS!!!!! ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
Kessler is choosing the bag over an ideal roster, managent, and team potential. And that's okay. But he might be miserable in the process of earning a few extra million each year.
