This chart actually explains why @StephenCurry30 is the @NBA GOAT.

It's not MJ, not LeBron, not Kobe, not Kareem, not Shaq, not Russell, not Magic, not Wilt, not Bird.

Steph Curry is greatest shooter of all time, no one disputes that, it's unequivocal. His shot making changed how basketball is played today, and has for generations to come. Additionally, the gravity he brings on the court, on and off ball, highlighted by the introduction of the new official Gravity stat (powered by AWS AI and Machine Learning), is a phenomenon.

Some of his accomplishments:
🏆 4× NBA Champion
📺 6× Finals appearances (5 consecutive)
💪🏾 2× MVP (including first unanimous MVP ever)
🏀 2× Scoring Champion
⭐️ 11× All-Star
🌠 2× All-Star Game MVP
🥇 Olympic Gold
👌🏾 NBA's all-time 3-point leader (4,172+)
1⃣ 8× led league in 3s made
⛓️ 268 consecutive games with a 3-pointer (record)
🪣 Highest career FT% in NBA history (91.2%)

Also he's the best golfer of any NBA player past or present:
🏌🏾‍♂️ Top NBA golfer with a +2 handicap
⛳️ First ever hole-in-one on the 152-yard 7th hole at the 2023 American Century Championship

(This golf stats don't actually count for the GOAT convo, it's personal. Just ask MJ and LeBron if they'd also like to be the best golfer, and get back to me)

The NBA at its core, is an entertainment business. And no player has been as successful from the business perspective for their franchise.

Curry x Warriors is the undisputed best all-around on court performer and business performer for the franchise, the complete package, the goat.

The numbers:
📈 $315M (2009, when Curry was drafted) to $11B (2025)
💸 18th most valuable to #1 in the NBA (since 2022)
💰 4 championships drove massive valuation jumps
🤑 +73% increase after the 2015 title
🪙 +49% after the 2022 title
🏦 #2 most valuable sports franchise globally
📊 Revenue leader: $833M (37% higher than Lakers)

MJ changed the culture. LeBron built an empire. Steph did both and did it for one team and for the bay area.

The house that Steph built isn't just about banners and personal accolades. He also built the most valuable franchise in basketball.

When you redefine a sport AND build the most valuable franchise in the league, that's not just greatness. That's a return on investment no one else can match.

The GOAT conversation needs a new metric. Steph Curry is the metric.

The NFL is on a different level when it comes to its franchise values. Only 4 MLB teams and 4 global soccer clubs are worth as much as the NFL's least valuable team, the Bengals, at $5.5 billion, per @Sportico.

Anyone else have a Pop 2 Pokémon card?

Here’s one of mine: Aquapolis 080/147 Common in a CGC Pristine 10 (old label)

[lememe_james @LememeJames]

A $181K winning bid on eBay for this Black Label Bubble Mew was cancelled.

The winner of another Black Label Bubble Mew (from June 3) has now offered to buy this one for $236K — the exact same amount he previously paid.

Why would you offer $236K when the auction ended at $181K? That’s $55K you could have saved.

What are your thoughts?

Reps @JayObernolte and @RepLoriTrahan have released a discussion draft of a federal framework for AI. This is a serious, substantive effort to govern how the most powerful AI systems in the world are built, tested, and deployed – and putting it out takes real political courage. Credit to both of them, full stop. A few immediate thoughts on the draft itself, from a first read:

[coger.sol @_Coger]

HERTL POWER!!!

I think @Polymarket needs to back a brinks truck up to @willo2_Poly and run him his bag and then issue an apology

Make everyone whole here, and quickly

(I don’t have a dog in this, but they gotta do what’s right…)

$MSTR sold 32 Bitcoin for ~$2.5M last week.

Would you rather have a raw NM copy of Treekachu or a literal 1 of 1, guaranteed that the total population will never change first edition pristine 10?

Reveal once I receive my newest slab that’s a 1 of 1 from authentication.

Thank you to @SenatorMaroney for championing SB 5 and building the bipartisan coalition behind it. The IVO pilot signed today empowers independent experts, earns public trust, and gives industry the certainty it needs to build responsibly.

[Fathom @Fathom_org]

Today, Gov. Lamont signed SB 5 into law, officially establishing a voluntary pilot program for Independent Verification Organizations (IVOs).

The government sets safety outcomes. Independent experts verify whether AI products meet them.

Companies that voluntarily participate earn a trusted signal in the market, building consumer confidence while supporting innovation.

@Hoopss I knew it!!!

@ShamsCharania I guess this celebration was about the commas and not the buckets all along

Congrats on the Billionaire status @StephenCurry30

Realizing how badly I got cooked by @psa and @gamestop yesterday

[coger.sol @_Coger]

Just tried to drop off a PSA submission at the @gamestop in Bethesda, MD but they “aren’t taking PSA submissions for the rest of the day.”

Had 27 cards that I prepped for grading over the weekend. Guess these go back into the PC, because 79.99 for grading tomorrow is insane!

[coger.sol @_Coger]

@Machete_blanco @gamestop Yup, another blessing from @PSAcard

New pickup from a local show today, the one and only burgerchu

Hear me out, CGC Pristine 10 gold labels are nicer and harder to get than PSA 10s

[coger.sol @_Coger]

@DragonKoiBoi You’re mistaken, this isn’t an Entei card, it’s a volcano 🌋 card

A few more examples for the Volcano page in your in the binder

[coger.sol @_Coger]

@grok @BestPokemonDeal Super low pop on the burgerchu chat, high gem rate, high demand

[coger.sol @_Coger]

Dropped some Pokémon cards off at @gamestop on the way to pickup my kids.

Had to get those TCG bulk rates while I still can!

Praying for 10s on the pack fresh Pikachu Batiks and the Entei promos. Paid a premium so I could get gradable copies!

[coger.sol @_Coger]

@rarefinds I’ve been picking these up as close to NM as I can find

[coger.sol @_Coger]

@MoarkyMoark @eBay All you gotta do is toss in some half inflated reused Amazon air pillows, and you’ve got some top tier packaging and handling

[coger.sol @_Coger]

Front runner for the strangest and grossest packing of a Pokémon card off @eBay

Top loader wedged inside part of an old box, taped with scotch tape with some attached/complimentary hair

🧵

[coger.sol @_Coger]

Which I just noticed is in a broken top loader

5 ⭐️ anyways because they got me the card safe

[coger.sol @_Coger]

All for a 1998 KFC Pokémon Card Game Snorlax
