Agreed on Mamdani speech at the Knicks ceremony. Big game energy. An ode to franchise history, to the pain the fans endured, and to the Bernard Kings & Patrick Ewings & Melos & Jeremy Lins. Shoutouts to Oak and Thibs. He hit every note. Just like the 2026 Knicks.

Pt.1- In 2015, I was asked to assist with USA Basketball U19….I got a call after the 3rd day from Worldwide Wes, Jay Wright and Ashley Howard (Villanova asst.) to update on how Jalen Brunson was playing…I said “Juwan Evans has embarrassed him for the last 3 days..Cont’d

Fernando Tatis Jr. has lost his lawsuit against Big League Advance.

Tatis was paid $2 million as a minor leaguer in exchange for 10% of his future earnings.

This was not a loan.

If Tatis didn't make it to the big leagues, he didn't have to repay the $2 million.

But Tatis did make it to the big leagues and later signed a 14-year, $340 million contract.

That meant Tatis owed Big League Advance $34 million.

Tatis had publicly praised Big League Advance, saying the $2 million allowed him to hire a personal trainer, upgrade his apartment, and eat better food.

But after realizing he owed $34 million in exchange for $2 million, Tatis sued the company, alleging that they used predatory tactics to lure him into an investment deal that was really an illegal loan.

The judge disagreed.

The agreement was upheld this week and Tatis was even ordered to pay Big League Advance’s legal fees.

This is a big deal because Big League Advance has signed deals with 700+ athletes, including Elly De La Cruz (MLB) and Nolan Smith (NFL), across MLB, NFL, and college sports (think: NIL).

And now that the courts have ordered Fernando Tatis Jr. to follow through on the agreement, other potential legal challenges will likely go the same way.

LA's last-minute comeback made me think of 2009's Finals Game 4 at Orlando. Magic had ball up 5 with 1:02 left:
- Rashard Lewis missed 16-footer
- Pau Gasol transition dunk from Kobe Bryant (31.9)
- Dwight Howard 2 missed FT’s (11.1)
- Derek Fisher 3 to tie (4.6) forces OT

In awe of Jordan. Scared of Kobe. Hopeless against Bron.

Stak explains why all three were completely different problems.
