Nothing about the Game of Thrones universe is realistic, but the idea of regular people hitting a moving dragon with a harpoon will always blow my mind. Like come on man.
If you watch the whole clip you’ll see that Wemby takes full responsibility for the mistakes the Spurs made that cost them the series. And he’s right. They dominated huge swaths of this series … but ultimately blew big leads in every game.
The classlessness of (a few) Knicks fan in attacking and demonizing Wemby is one of the worst things I’ve seem from a fan base in a very long time
The drinking is the easy part. Finding a beer from Iran is the hard part.
Iran banned alcohol in 1979. Brewing it carries lashes. So the "Iranian beer" in this photo is Istak, a non-alcoholic malt drink that became the country's workaround and now sells hundreds of millions of bottles a year.
Saudi Arabia is fully dry. Their entry is Moussy, the non-alcoholic malt that dominates Gulf supermarkets precisely because real beer can't exist there.
Then come the import problems. Cape Verde's Strela and Haiti's Prestige barely leave their home markets. Curacao and Jordan qualified for the first time ever, which means almost no exporter ever bothered building a supply chain for their beer.
A 48-team World Cup quietly created the hardest beer scavenger hunt on Earth. Qualification expanded faster than beer distribution did.
The man found all 48 anyway.
GMs wishing there was a player that existed to counter Wemby.
In unrelated news, the trade market for Giannis is luke warm and teams aren’t sure about giving up a bunch of 1sts for him.
Darko reflecting on Collin Murray-Boyles’ rookie season:
“When you have a rookie, you’re always thinking about what’s going to be his plan, and how much he’s going to play in the G League, with our 905 program. In September, it was clear that he’s not going to see a lot of minutes playing with the 905.”
“A lot of intangibles gave us confidence from day 1 that he’s going to be an important player in the rotation. His development over the course of the season was outstanding.”
“Getting to know him as a person was really important for me. We played a game in Utah. As you guys know, he went to prep school in Utah. His whole school came over there to see our game, and they had a surprise for him after the game. I had a chance to talk to his coach, and to some of the teachers from the school, just getting to understand who he is as a person, and what he’s about. It made me fall in love with this guy.”
“He’s an amazing human being. He cares so much about everybody. He is somebody we absolutely love over here. We’re so lucky to have him in our program.”
It has been 5 years ago today since former Kentucky guard Terrence Clarke tragically lost his life in a car accident in Los Angeles.
Clarke was just 19 years old.
Gone far too soon.
