I, for one, very much look forward to NBA Twitter and podcasters breaking down Wemby falling for no reason on the most important shot of the season.

@djneyoru @lisa_liberal 100%. One of the last times I ever went to church, a woman told me she would rather her daughter be dead than gay.

@MarGOSFFL @ESPNNBA @TheJetOnTNT OkC won the championship and they still get our names wrong all the time. It’s so lazy.

[Barbara West @bwestok]

@Three_Cone I’m sure @RealJayWilliams will have a whole segment on it.

What an unbelievably clutch shot from Jalen Brunson shame he fell to the floor though

[Barbara West @bwestok]

@missh8ter Wear a USWNT one.

When we have the freedom to show up as our true, authentic selves, there is no limit to what we can achieve.

This Pride Month, let's celebrate the courage to live openly, the power of community, and the belief that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and loved exactly as they are.

Happy #PrideMonth!

@tallforests This is amazing!!! Thanks for including all!

@PolymarketHoops Always team Russ. He’s the best.

Chet Holmgren Appreciation Post

24 Years Old

Career:
16.5 PPG
8.3 RPG
2.1 APG
2.1 Blocks - 4th in the NBA
1.4 3s
53.4%/36.9%/78.5% shooting

All Defense. All NBA. 3 Straight #1 seeds. NBA Champion.

He's not being traded, and he shouldn't be.

[Barbara West @bwestok]

@EvCoRadio He barely beat a team without 2 of their best 4 players. Let’s just not.

[George Stoia III @GeorgeStoia]

The Spurs are just the better team with Dub and Ajay out. Chet is not a second option. A total no-show in the biggest game of his career.

[sam presti’s frames. @Jessicaoma_]

do y’all need a reminder as to why j dub is injured and currently struggling to stay healthy? what we’re not gonna do is talk down on him! he made a sacrifice to win us a chip! if anything, he needs our support now!

[Barbara West @bwestok]

Talk about this!!!

[𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒆 🌩 @Three_Cone]

Shoutout Jalen Williams for giving it a go last night

Four hamstring injuries this season and still tried to step up to help get the team to the Finals

Not to mention last year going out there and being the second option en route to a title with a torn wrist ligament that cost him the beginning of this season too

I really hope he can get a fully healthy playoff run next year because in the 2.5 games he’s played he was hooping

Definition of putting it on the line for the team

[Barbara West @bwestok]

@espn has officially done off the rails. The network that is now openly promoting scripted slop like WWE can’t be bothered to cover the NBA ethically. I am so done with them. I have watched them my entire life but this is insane.

[Get Up @GetUpESPN]

"Life Alert with SGA" 🤔

@RealJayWilliams breaks down how San Antonio forced a Game 7 against the Thunder 👀

[Barbara West @bwestok]

@NotAnOKCFan Championship all day long!!

[Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles]

Ethical

[Barbara West @bwestok]

@FreddieandHD @ChrisCanty99 @UnSportsESPN @HDouglas83 @ColemanESPN Thank you!!

[Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix]

All the SGA slander has become corny. He finished fourth in free throw attempts per game on a team that was 17th. He's as close to a throwback player as you get: a (mostly) inside the three-point line scorer who can beat you a bunch of ways. He gets calls, yes. Gets fouled, too.

[Matt Sanders @MattSandersNBA]

Or… as a journalist for the NYT… instead of giving in to a pretty blatantly false narrative, you could write about the resilience of a team without 2 of their 4 leading scorers.

Leading 3-2 in the first CF meeting of two 60+ win teams since the 80s.

But that would take work.
