⚠️ Warning: Long rant incoming.
I’ve been waiting for someone in the national NBA media to address this, but apparently nobody wants to.
Why was Luka Doncic’s first NBA Finals loss treated as proof that his style of basketball couldn’t win a championship, while Victor Wembanyama’s was treated as another step toward greatness?
Luka averaged 29.2/8.8/5.6 against a 64-win Celtics team, and the national media spent the next two years questioning his defense, conditioning, leadership and whether his style of basketball could ever win a championship.
Wemby loses 4–1 to a 53-win Knicks team, struggles down the stretch, and suddenly we’re reminded that even Jordan and LeBron needed time. It’s all about growth, valuable lessons and gaining experience.
And this hypocrisy doesn’t end with the Finals. It carries directly into the MVP conversation.
Luka’s individual brilliance is constantly filtered through questions about his defense, playing style, team success and whether he can actually win.
Wemby’s brilliance is celebrated as evidence of what he’s becoming. His shortcomings are treated as things he’ll eventually overcome.
One player has to constantly justify why he deserves an MVP. The other is talked about like winning one is inevitable.
Nobody is asking for Wemby to be torn down. But why does one generational talent have to overcome a narrative the media created while the other gets the benefit of the doubt?
"We need to restore faith in government, and that starts with holding people to account for their corrupt or criminal behavior. We tried the 'let bygones be bygones' approach in the Biden era, and look where it got us. All it does is embolden bad people to feel like they can act with impunity. The Oversight and Judiciary Committees should exercise their subpoena and investigative powers and begin building cases that could be sent to a future DOJ or state attorneys general for prosecution. The era of self-dealing, of crypto scams, of kickbacks, and of selling access is over."

If a bakery baking a cake for a gay wedding is "endorsing homosexuality”...then voting for a p*dophile is DEFINITELY endorsing p*dophilia.
Hope that helps clear things up this midterm season!
This Lakers loss was Reddick's imo. Don't get me wrong, the team was ass tonight without Luka, but Reddick did literally nothing to help them. Why the fuck are you taking a white hot Luka out for HALF THE SECOND QUARTER WHEN HE JUST SCORED 21 IN THE FIRST, YOU ABSOLUTE DINGUS?!
This is what Voter Suppression looks like in 2026.
GOP-controlled election boards in North Carolina declined to put an early-voting site back on the campus of North Carolina A&T after students had one in 2024.
So these patriots marched nearly an hour in the heat to reach the polls on the first day of early voting. And they voted.
Make it harder and we’ll still show up.
"Despite Talarico having never been to Ohio, and despite the alleged facility explicitly debunking the claim, and despite a New York Times examination of security footage proving that Talarico was indeed at his home in Texas during the time period in question, still Republicans ran with a lie so blatant, no one but the most lobotomized amongst us would believe it. Turns out that includes more people than I’d previously thought."

The same phony assholes who claim to want to "protect the women" stood by and cheered as a protesting woman was assaulted at trump's pathetic, loser Ohio rally last night.
These jackasses don't believe in anything.
