Adam Silver on LeBron’s free agency decision:
“I would like him to make his announcement already, so he can finish the schedule. Because as you might imagine, the teams are calling us, the networks are calling us, and everybody wants to lock in the schedule. But it will influence how we set the schedule, how we set opening week, Christmas Day, etc.”

Breathing in hefty lungfuls of smoke as I get explosive diarrhea from salad, the sky turns apocalyptic orange while oil companies drill in protected lands, screwworms are eating cattle alive and the president just paid $6 million for rape. And I’m also able to bet on all of it!
🚨 Florida police tackled and broke a 15-year-old Black teen’s arm while searching for a white runaway they had just seen in a photo.
Judah Everage was on his knees with his hands in the air when officers slammed him to the ground near Wickham Park in Melbourne. He wasn’t the person they were looking for, but they still fractured his elbow. Body camera footage shows he was complying the entire time.
One officer has since resigned, but the others involved are still on the job.
This is what happens when police treat Black kids as suspects first and ask questions later. Disgusting.

Richard Jefferson on Lakers fans celebrating LeBron leaving:
“I’m f**king glad he’s gone, and I promise you LA, you’re in for an interesting 5 f**king years”

I remember when getting a consensual blowjob was enough to warrant an impeachment. Now Presidents can pay out $5M+ to the victims they raped and no one fucking bats an eye
Mississippi has never elected a Black governor, despite having the HIGHEST percentage of BLACK residents of any state. Let me say that again, Mississippi has one of the largest Black populations by percentage in the ENTIRE country, yet still has never elected a Black governor.
