Talk about a perfect storm:

1- no COVID so can do a worldwide promo tour.
2- Tom Holland and Zendaya gets married and are the closest you may ever get to universally loved actors (excluding bots). They also happened to just be in the movie before this comes out that’s going to do a Billion
3- Savage Hulk back after a million years.
4- Punisher as popular as he’s ever been
5- Jean Gray maybe introduced
6- new director everyone loves
7- comes out dead in middle of summer with all the kids out.
8- Opens in china.

This movie influenced/inspired me in soooooo many ways.

"Boomerang" was probably one of the most stylish rom-coms of the early ‘90s, with Eddie Murphy wearing Thierry Mugler for the whole movie🔥

Mr. Tinsley, you are very good at this...

[Justin Tinsley @JustinTinsley]

In sports there are two “can't miss” options.

“Can't miss talent” — which many consider @AJ_Dybantsa. Including me.

And “can't miss decisions” — as in franchise can't afford to make the wrong choice.

The @WashWizards, owners of the top overall pick, haven't faced a more consequential moment since selecting @JohnWall in the same position in 2010.

D.C. makes decisions with domestic and geopolitical ramifications hourly.

This isn't that for the Wizards.

But this is one of those decisions that’ll dictate the franchise’s relevancy for the next decade.

Washington needs a playmaker. A charismatic superstar. A re-direction of its emotional forecast. 

AJ feels like all three.

This is the city of Go-Go music and Mambo sauce. Front Porch Freestyles and Tiny Desk concerts.

NBA success? Ehh, that's a sore topic.

The Wizards haven’t won a playoff series since 2017. The franchise hasn’t been to an Eastern Conference Finals since 1979 — a year after winning its lone NBA title. And that’s the last time the franchise won 50 games in a season.

They were the Bullets then.

Since the turn of the century, Washington has been haunted by many things, including LeBron James and self-sabotage

Let that marinate. 

Generations of DC basketball fans have never felt the rush of a contender.

That’s why the decision itself doesn’t matter. Getting it right does.

As New York celebrates in unparalleled jubilation, the basketball universe drowns in FOMO. The Wizards want — no, need – that turnaround from laughingstock to king of the hill.

Look at the rest of the city.

In the past decade, the Commanders have made an NFC Championship game… and the Mystics, Capitals, and Nationals have all won titles.

This #1 pick for the Wizards is more than a player. It’s a grasp at success that’s been so foreign for so long.

Opportunities like this don’t come around often. The renovations coming to the arena are an important factor here too.

This is a moment that can change a franchise. Or haunt a city.

So, yeah, Dawkins isn't lying here. There's a genuine excitement around Wizards basketball that hasn't been in a long, long time. But excitement, like potential, has a short shelf life.

Here's hoping now is when that fanbase can finally cash in. @Domo8186

The Wire ended 18 yrs ago today. It’s been taught in Ivy League schools, law schools & film schools. David Simon was interviewed by a sitting president about its lasting impact. Cited in a State Supreme Court ruling. Often hailed by critics as the best ever. Never won an Emmy.
