Free agency is here and, right now, my TL is all LeBron, all day. Where's he going, what are the Warriors doing, etc. That's fine. He's LJ. I get it! But I'll tell you what I'm actually watching, and it isn't LJ and marquee guys. It's the OGs.

Don't get me wrong, I love this young NBA. These kids are so skilled it's almost unfair, and athletic in a way that's crazy. Different game now. A better one in a lot of ways, and I mean that.

Here's my thing, though. When I came into the league I didn't know anything, not really, and it was the vets who raised me. Guys like Ervin Johnson and Lindsey Hunter and Ray Allen taught me how to carry myself, how to be a pro on the nights nobody's watching. Taught me about money. Shoot, taught me about golf, about how to be a man. I needed that. Most of these young guys need it too, whether they know it yet or not.

So yeah. Harrison Barnes going back to San Antonio, that one was obvious. Russell Westbrook getting tied to DC? I love it for AJ Dybantsa and them. And if you've got a young roster you're trying to grow, you have to call a Khris Middleton or a Mike Conley. Get somebody in that locker room who's seen it, lived it, and can pass on that knowledge.

They can still give you minutes, sure. But that's not really why you sign them. You bring them in for the kid who's got all the talent in the world and no idea what to do with it yet. The vet pulls him aside when the coaches can't. Shows him the little things nobody teaches you in college. Shows him how to play the game, but also live the life.

Each one teach one. That's how it used to worked in the NBA. Let's make sure the young guys get that same guidance.

Trump hasn’t made a public appearance in 8 days. This after an unscheduled visit to the hospital- because he “likes getting check ups.” Thank God Jake Tapper (or as I like to call him- the Brick Tamland of his generation) is on the case hunting down clues in a book about my mom’s experience as First Lady four years ago.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

So let me get this straight.

Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.

Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.

Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.

And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”

Please.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Wait…Did he just say checkered past ? I’m 28 felonies, 6 bankruptcies, and an Epstein bromance short of his checkered past.

I cannot reinforce enough how talented this kiddo is, but mostly love the celebration of a hyper-focused king 😭😭💛

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

Uno de los cambios de de branding personal mas interesantes en celebs es el de Bad Bunny a Benito. Tardo un año en cambiar poco a poco el nombre, tiene un story telling fuerte, identidad, tipografía y logo.

A veces me pregunto hasta qué punto nuestra percepción de la realidad acaba deformando la propia realidad.

Estos días lo veía con el fenómeno de .

Miles y miles de personas comprando entradas.
Colas interminables.
Hoteles llenos.
Personas emocionadas.
Gente disfrutando y siendo feliz durante horas.

Y, aun así, aparece otro porcentaje de personas absolutamente enrocadas en el mismo discurso: “no canta bien”,
“no se le entiende”,
“no entiendo cómo puede gustar”.

Y ahí aparece una reflexión interesante.

¿Quién tiene razón?

¿Los millones de personas que conectan emocionalmente con su música?
¿O quienes necesitan argumentar constantemente por qué ese éxito “no debería existir”?

Quizás el problema es que muchas veces el ser humano vive obsesionado con tener razón, en lugar de intentar entender por qué algo conecta con tanta gente.

Porque cuando un artista llena dos estadios en Barcelona y diez en Madrid, quizá ya no estamos hablando únicamente de música.
Estamos hablando de impacto cultural, emocional y generacional.

Y eso no significa que te tenga que gustar.

Pero sí debería hacernos reflexionar sobre algo: la realidad no desaparece solo porque no encaje con nuestra percepción de ella.

Tal vez una parte importante de la madurez consiste en aceptar que algo puede no resonar contigo… y aun así ser extraordinariamente valioso para millones de personas.

Menos necesidad de imponer criterio.
Más curiosidad por entender el mundo que viven los demás.

Probablemente viviríamos más ligeros.

The double entendres on Drake’s ICEMAN are insane.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Wow. In one of the most emotional moments in television history, Stephen Colbert signs off his show’s last opening monologue by sharing that he realized his job was to “feel the news” with us.

What a class act and an extraordinary person. Thank you Stephen.
