Braden Smith from deep.

Olandria look GOOD, this picture got the lighting right and everything, I need somebody to take my pictures like this

Photographer lensbyabikins featured Olandria onstage at CultureCon in a photo recap shot! #OlandriaxCultureCon

[Jake @ATXOperator]

I get so happy when the camera catches that orange light right before sunset without washing everybody's face out

[Jake @ATXOperator]

Photographer being that excited about the shots got me curious, this spread better hurry up and drop

👤: Met TeeteePor, the two boys~ For this shoot, I only want to say… so satisfying to ship! How can they be this sweet, aaahhh~ The colleagues responsible for filming the behind-the-scenes footage couldn’t stop smiling 🤣 I’ve known the photographer for many years. This was the first time I saw this seasoned photographer, after finishing the shoot, not even take a moment to rest, but instead excitedly start selecting photos right there on set. It felt like we directly filmed a short drama…

👤: Worked with the two super professional artists, TeeteePor
The whole set was filled with pink bubbles, so incredibly shippable 🤭❤️
They perfectly captured the feel of a stylish fashion editorial. There are so many amazing shots
Can’t wait for the boys’ fashion spread to be released!

Trae Young says he leaves the door open for a future return to the Hawks

“Man, you never know... That’s why I wanted to leave the right way... But for me right now, obviously my 10 toes are here in DC.”

The way y'all got charts and footnotes ready for every Jordan and LeBron argument just pick who you like and enjoy basketball!

[Larry P. 🏀 @NycVipers]

This is why 4-6 and 6-0 mean nothing without Contex.

Here is the CONTEXT:

1. Consistent Elite Support vs. Gaps in Help
•Michael Jordan's teammates consistently performed at an elite level during every single season of his championship runs. Scottie Pippen earned All-NBA honors in all six Finals seasons and All-Defensive honors in all six as well. Jordan also had elite defensive anchors like Horace Grant and Dennis Rodman securing All-Defensive honors alongside him.
•LeBron James, by contrast, went through six entire seasons (2007, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018) where not a single teammate made either an All-NBA or All-Defensive team that season.

2. The Defensive Disparity
•Jordan always shared the floor with at least one All-Defensive teammate in every Finals series he played, totaling eight All-Defensive selections across his six appearances.
•LeBron only had one All-Defensive teammate across his ten featured Finals runs (Anthony Davis in 2020). Elite co-stars like Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Irving did not secure defensive accolades during their Finals seasons with LeBron.

3. Peak Performance Timing
• LeBron's help was highly concentrated in just a few seasons. He had All-NBA help from Dwyane Wade (2011–2013), Kyrie Irving (2015), and Anthony Davis (2020), but outside of those specific windows, he carried teams to the Finals without any teammate earning individual regular-season accolades.

In summary, Michael Jordan enjoyed a highly stable, award-winning supporting cast for 100% of his Finals appearances, whereas LeBron James frequently carried teams to the ultimate stage during years when his supporting cast lacked individual accolade-level recognition.

Tsunami warning 😈🌊

Kelly Oubre Jr. put on a show with 17 points in Team Blue’s win over Team White at FanJam.

Man Jimmy being this invested in another man's accessories is hilarious 😂 I need somebody to care about my fit like that

[The Draymond Green Show @DraymondShow]

Draymond discusses the hilarious swag beef between Jimmy Butler and Malevy Leons 😂😂😂

"The beef that you never knew you needed in your life that is not a beef at all, Jimmy Butler versus Malevy Leons... Malevy's swag on zero and Jimmy was sick of it... (Now) everyday Malevy walks in, it's something different, one day he walked in, he had 2 arm sleeves on, the next day, he had an arm sleeve and 2 wristbands, the next day, he had a headband on with an arm sleeve, a wristband, and some long tights, it's different everyday... I will tell you, it's raised his level a bit!"

How y'all know when to stop messing wit the colors on a picture after you been staring at it forever?

Mike Gansey said LeBron James has been setting the tone at training camp:

“LeBron’s been diving on the floor for loose balls, and he’s 41.” 😤

I love seeing Walker get extra work in from the corner. Keep putting that work in

[Lakers Nation @LakersNation]

Tyrese Maxey is actually a pretty good comp, both got that quick little playmaker energy

[Bryce @Uplike_Bryce]

Who do you think is Bryce Young’s NBA equivalent?

I’ll go first: Tyrese Maxey

[Jake @ATXOperator]

I hate when folks edit portraits so smooth you can't see a single freckle, that shit makes everybody look weird af

[Jake @ATXOperator]

If they got KD raising his level, they must be some serious workers 😂

[SleeperRockets @SleeperRockets]

Kevin Durant said Marcus Smart and Bogdan Bogdanovic’s worth ethic are “just incredible,” per @BenDuBose

“Man, just incredible. I can’t say enough about both of their work ethics. Bogi, I really always knew he was a worker. But to see it every day — the pace that he goes at and just how hard he goes every rep — is inspiring to me. It makes me go harder…and Marcus is the same way. Just a true vet that understands his role on the team every day, and he’s there to serve his teammates.”

[Jake @ATXOperator]

@Cover3_mx LeBron changed the whole game too, y'all act like he just showed up

[Jake @ATXOperator]

How long y'all leave a tea bag in the cup before pulling it out? I genuinely don't know when it's done

[Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater]

Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford will only play the first half tomorrow in the Warriors’ preseason opener vs Clippers in Hawaii. Around 12-16 minutes. Sounds like some of the veterans will skip the game in Portland on Wednesday following Tuesday home game.

[Jake @ATXOperator]

Phillies eliminated and now Maxey out here feeding LeBron Philly cannot catch a break at all today huh?

[Life of a Philly Fan @PhillyFanLife]

The thing about the Phillies being eliminated is here is a Tyrese Maxey lob to Lebron James
