Unreal experience. Got to meet not only my favorite fighter, but one of my favorite athletes ever. @DustinPoirier is as good as man as he is a fighter. Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to chop it up with me and my cousin DP! 🥊 (and for signing my tin of zyn)😂
After sitting here watching NBA free agency this year and overall NBA movement over the past 2 years somebody has to say it....
The new CBA was sold as parity, but the first and second apron are starting to function like a hard cap on player value, team continuity, and player movement.
Teams are no longer making purely basketball decisions. They’re making fear-based apron decisions. That means good players get squeezed, homegrown cores get broken up, fan-favorite teams lose their identity, and the overall product loses some of the nostalgia and continuity that made people fall in love with the NBA in the first place.
This isn’t about players not understanding business. It’s the opposite. We understand that the NBA is a business. That’s why the @TheNBPA has to operate with elite business acumen, elite negotiating strategy, and real foresight.
The owners and the league walk into these meetings with killers that continue to run circles around us time and time again with elite lawyers, economists, cap experts, media strategists, and long term business operators. Players deserve a PA that is just as sharp, just as prepared, and just as aggressive about protecting our upside.
Too often, it feels like players are informed after the fact instead of being truly educated and empowered before decisions are made. That cannot continue.
The next CBA is a do or die moment for us as players. It's only going to get worse for us. We need transparency, accountability, and a serious re evaluation of who is representing us and how they are representing us.
This is not anti parity. This is pro player, fan, and product. The league is strongest when players are valued properly, great teams can stay together, and the people representing us are operating at the same level as the people sitting across the table.
I’m a PG guy…… but I’m just not making this move as the Celtics. But I get why they did… offers the same type of wing defense and shot creation, and PG looked great after suspension… but man

This is objectively funny, but as someone who has met Dustin, this is clearly him in a low moment.
He was incredibly gracious with my younger cousin who in social settings can get uncomfortable. He talked to him like he was his best friend, and spent so much time (1/2)
BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
Don’t even have the words. This team. This run. This city. These fans. We deserve this. I cannot believe the Knicks are champions. What a life. 2026 really is the new 2016.
For someone who doesn’t have crazy one punch KO power, stricklands jab and cross still absolutely batter his opponents faces…. Almost everyone he fights, their faces are just destroyed after
