@ZuzuOnFire Okay Doc!

@ZuzuOnFire Any predictions on where the story goes? And have you read the graphic novels?

The use of “Promentory” in The Last of the Mohicans (1992) is one of the most powerful pieces of music ever paired with action on screen. Pure cinematic adrenaline.

Definitely did not expect to stumble across a clip of Tyler Kolek helping a dude text his crush on today - but here we are…

@macattackjones What do you think?

Updated my WNBA analysis.
I have my estimate of
WNBA total income at:
close to $300 m in 25
close to $500 m in 26
Player share is 6% then 4%
at a minimum players should be looking for a 10x raise.
I didn't include capital gain, the tax breaks or franchise fees

It's amazing how much can ride on 1 shot. If Dream didn't get his finger tip on Starks' 3 at the end of Game 6 of the '94 Finals and the shot went, the Knicks are champions. Ewing's legacy is completely different. Starks never shoots 2-for-18 and his # is in the rafters at MSG.

Gabby Williams is absolutely balling out this season: 50/50/80 with elite defense and does all the little things that help a team win. @gabbywilliams15 #WNBATwitter

Welp… this didn’t age well.

“Tyrese Haliburton has a strange glitch in his system — he is very capable of no-shows and very capable of deserving to have opponents give him the choke sign”

I faced tough choices in writing my Magic Johnson biography. My research found his family in 1850s NC. My editor allowed me to include that info in a hoops book. With MAGA trying to scrub history, I'm thankful for every word of the story that frames Magic's rise to billionaire.
