@Sam_Vecenie Genuinely one of the biggest shames in nba history that a series between the NEW YORK KNICKS who might be the unluckiest team in pro sports and a generational young talent unlike anything we’ve seen before is gonna be remembered by officiating
If Wemby kneels during the anthem tonight he’s undisputed best player in the league. If KAT kneels he’s undisputed best stretch big ever. Choose wisely gentlemen
