@herseynba Charlotte resmen soygun yapmış. Lamelo her sene değer kaybedecekti, tam zamanında göndermişler. Üstüne Reid gibi inanılmaz underestimated bir oyuncu + bir sürü 1. ve 2. tur draft hakkı almışlar.

@TK_HelpDesk İlettim ve çözüm bekliyorum.

Bebeğimizin ve bizim bütün eşyalarımızın olduğu 3 bavulumuz da iki gündür kayıp, tüm kışlık kıyafetleri bavulda olduğu için (Afrika’dan Ankara’ya döndük) bebeğimiz hasta oldu. Bavullarımızın nerede olduğunu hala bulamıyorlar. @TurkishAirlines sabır taştı artık, acil çözüm

@FT_Merchant05 Man, you're basing your argument on only one game. Yes, in two quarters, AD played great but then got hurt AGAIN! The fact is, Luka has dominated the league, carried the same team to finals a year before and is not injury prone + he loved the Mavs. The fact is Nico made a mistake

@darkerszyedek Bunu hatırlayanlar için epey sıradan:

@asisttime @alperennsengun And another All-Star, perhaps the MIP awards too ;)
Goooo Alpi @alperennsengun
soon we will also be in the MVP discussions

@Wimbledon Great day for Turkish tennis! Power of Turkish women! Consistently the volleyball team, now Zeynep keep making us proud! Great role models for the younger generations 🇹🇷
Tesekkurler @ZeynepSonmez__
No return from London yet - let's go for the 2nd week! #Wimbledon2025

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

@josemorgado Upset for some, victory for us @ZeynepSonmez__
Keep shining! Why not fourth round or quarter finals!

@onedio @zaferalgoz 10 parmağında 10 marifetmiş, boşuna mı salladık o kadar?

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

@BiasedHouston Trade Jalen and pair (ideally) Booker or Durant with Sengun and you have a contender team. You can’t go far with Jalen and all the young players other than Sengun are good role players. Sengun is the real deal.

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

@stavichka @JoshBett1 @LondonLions @polatkaya @hidoturkoglu15 @sinanguler I bet both Harun and Sinan would pick Ibrahim. In 2001, the then great coach Aydin Örs played Harun at 1, Ibrahim at 2 when Turkey claimed the silver medal. I love Kerem but Ibrahim was really something else.
At 4, you also have Mirsad and Ersan. Good team indeed!

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

@andy_murray It will be huge fun with two great shot makers. But I believe these two will have epic battles in 2-3 years when Fonseca has learnt how to control the game better - after going through the same learning curve as Carlitos and Sinner did.

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

@JTGatlin Cut the bs. He is the best player of top 4 team. He makes all of his teammates wat better players when on the court. Just because he isn’t selfish and “team first” unlike others like jalen, his elite contribution can’t be denied. “Losing shooting touch” my ass - he shot 45%

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

@alperennsengun' den super-star sezonu gelecek ve 2025'ten itibaren istikrarla Top 20 olacak.

[Ballaround @B_allaround]

@ESPNNBA released top 100 NBA players list: https://t.co/8l4UhNYoUB

Everyone talks about Wemby being too low at #11. For us, Sengun ranked at #54 is absurd.

@alperennsengun show them you are Top 20! Çok yakında ilk 10 --> İnanıyoruz 💪👊

What A Game!

Whenever these two megastars play, we are delighted!

Carlos Alcaraz reached his 4th title in 2024 against one of his biggest rivals, World #1 Jannik Sinner in Beijing.

He's leading 6-4 in their H2H. Bring us another match :)

@carlosalcaraz @janniksin #ChinaOpen

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

Muazzam! İkisini izleyebilmek ayrıcalık.

[Ballaround @B_allaround]

🚀 Sky level tennis between these two prodigies! What a treat for us to watch. After almost 3h30m intense play, their resilience and desire are unmatched.

Added to the list of unbelievable 🎾 points played between #sincaraz

[Umut Pamuk @Umut_Pamuk]

#SabenLee kış gelmeden yeni şehrime taşınayım diyor galiba. Umarım İstanbul olur da daha yakından seyrederiz.😀

Manisa için muazzam transfer. İyi bir bonservis kazanabilirler umarım.

[Ballaround @B_allaround]

Explosion alert! 💣🏀

We were expecting @SabenLee to dominate but not this quick and not at this scale! 🎆

36/6/6 with 10/14 fg, 14/14 ft! 🔥

When is he moving to #EuroLeague25?

@AnadoluEfesSK and @FBBasketbol there is gold in Manisa. Is he new Oturu or Moses Wright?

[Ballaround @B_allaround]

#ChinaOpen is treating us with a blockbuster final:

#Sincaraz for the 10th time! Alcaraz has the lead with 5-4.

Last year Sinner beat Alcaraz in Beijing. This year Alcaraz leads 2-0.

All 4 Grand Slams went to these two prodigies.

Who do you expect to win this time?

[Ballaround @B_allaround]

While #sincaraz fillsup the headlines, another breakout 🎾🌟 Arthur Fils is relentlessly climbing!
He saved an amazing MP & beat his fellow Humbert in a great final in Tokyo #kinoshitajotennis

This week he beat Fritz, Berrettini, Shelton, Rune and Humbert in a row. Not bad 😅

TIER E: #Asvel #ParisBasketball #AlbaBerlin (Can they move up a little?)
In the last group we have 2 🇫🇷 (@LDLCASVEL and @ParisBasketball) and 1 🇩🇪 team @albaberlin . Paris had an amazing last season as they played amazing offense under the coaching of Lisalo, who was then rewarded to join NBA. Will their new coach, ex-NBA & EL star Splitter repeat the same success? We shall see. Surely, they are very fun to watch with an undersized, yet super talented team.

To be honest, Asvel also has a better team than they were last year. Their renewed guard rotation next to DeColo seems good on paper. Lauvergne can still make some damage around the rim. However, we don’t see them competing for playoffs. Good luck to Alba in their fights against EL giants.
