“The Joy of Basketball” is 350 pages of words and illustrations about Allen Iverson, Manu Ginobili, Malice in the Palace, Feral Bigs, Heat Day Ones, and the NBA’s last 25 years. I wrote it with @earlboykins for @ABRAMSbooks

@unimplist I don’t know if those rumors are true but anything is believable with the Pelicans. At least Brown is four years older than Trey tho

[Ben Detrick @bdetrick]

I wouldn't trade Trey straight-up for anyone on the Boston roster, accounting for salary and health

[Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS]

Jaylen Brown is obviously far better than Trey Murphy but Trey Murphy plus the level of pick irresponsibility New Orleans showed in the Derik Queen trade for Jaylen Brown would actually make a lot of sense for Boston. Like, yes, I would love a bunch of unprotected Pels picks.

@whsneuzneixnei Maybe after a year of seeing how JT plays but not now, especially with their contracts

[Ben Detrick @bdetrick]

none of our business imo

[The Associated Press @AP]

Police are investigating after security cameras captured groups of people climbing in and out of manholes in New York City in the middle of the night.

I'm sure you're all wondering why I've gathered you here today.

[Ben Detrick @bdetrick]

vic should watch "sirat" tonight

[Michael C. Wright @mikecwright]

Source confirms that Victor Wembanyama treated the team to a screening of the movie “Obsession” as the Spurs tried to wind down from the emotional toll of Game 7 heading into the Finals.

The secret war against the yetis rages on

@unimplist That’s good to hear, maybe he’s the elusive jock-nerd

[Ben Detrick @bdetrick]

I hadn’t considered this but Andrew is right. Sixers are in their Chud Era, we don’t get another non-jock GM until 2033

[Andrew Kuo @earlboykins]

The Sixers cannot follow a nerd with another nerd.

The NYT's best restaurant cannot be Indian 2 years in a row.

There are rules.

Never a bad time to watch Pharoah Sanders performing "Kazuko" in an abandoned tunnel in the Marin Headlands circa 1982.

[Andrew Kuo @earlboykins]

s/o to Doug Shaw, living slop, Y2K #2, simple shit for complicated takes, the food truck glory of Manhattanhenge, Gansey, OKC vs SAS, NYK vs SAS, Dennis Schroder vs KAT(?) and aspirational basketball freedom!!!!
