Here’s to every player that will get up today and train, lift and run with nary a mention of it on social media. It will still count in November!

@SEANDURGIN Do not use @StubHub . This is becoming the norm with them. And even when you point out the scam… they pointed to their policy and tell you have to wait until three hours before game time at which point you will be offered different tickets than the ones you previously purchased

@anishmoonka this is a fantastic and detailed explanation of the topic that I suppose has caused a great deal of confusion/frustration for most of us

Jalen Brunson post Game 4: "Before we start…

My thoughts & prayers are with a friend of mine I got to meet last week. Jonathan from North Carolina. From Make a Wish Foundation

They asked me to make a video. But something told me to Facetime…

I got the pleasure to do so…Quick call but well worth it.

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family…

May God rest his soul"

(Reporter asks question)

Jalen (can't answer): "Sorry…"

@JohnBolaris John - That’s a satirical account. It’s quite possible JB does feel that way but he never said that .

@BarstoolReags Notice that the dribbles are all north / south and attacking. Penetrating dribbles / passes. No wasted dribbles

@MikeSielski In a career of great writing interspersed with light hearted trolling, this is one of your best. Meanwhile - 99% of the people didn’t realize that you didn’t link a column and that you’re joking, but they are also probably the 99% that wouldn’t have read the column anyway.

One day you’re gonna wake up and AAU basketball will be over. No more weekend tournaments, packed gyms, or team hotels. No more “one more game” next weekend.

One day you’ll be out of eligibility for high school basketball. Then college basketball too.

And eventually, the thing that feels like your whole world right now becomes a memory.

So stop playing scared. Shoot your shot. Sprint the floor. Dive on the loose ball. Compete with confidence. Enjoy your teammates. Because one day you’ll wish you could go back and play just one more game with them.

Fear and hesitation have ended way more careers than missed shots ever will.

Just something to think about.

San Antonio libraries have launched a “Read Like Wemby” campaign, featuring Victor Wembanyama’s favorite fantasy and sci-fi books, per @MirinFader.

Children can read books that their favorite player reads. Since the launch, nearly 160 books have been checked out or put on hold.

That’s awesome 🙏

@ACCBaseball @GTBaseball @GTAthletics Incredible performance! 🟠⚫️

@franfraschilla We are 5 years into this now. Any pretense of developing players or people has long since left the building . It’s a reaping business. Not a growing business

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@On3 The same people that think Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame will be racing into these comments to defend this kid because he “ just bet on his own team.”

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@60Minutes This will make people confident in the performance / planning/ security of the 🇺🇸military

@Katelyn_Caralle This is what happens when Chipotle runs out of the cauliflower rice

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@phillygodfather The top of his lineup put up completely inept performances in back to back years

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@OleTimeHardball Did he know ahead of time that betting on his games would keep him out? Was he given dozens of years/ opportunities to admit it and come clean? After lying for decades, should we then believe he didn’t bet against his own team?

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@FoxNews yea but the Stock market is bumping!

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@DiscussingFilm Watching people get triggered by this post will be way more entertaining than anything Homer ever put down

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@Mike_Jagacki Very effective idea that he took from Vance Wahlberg when Vance came to Memphis to install the dribble drive offense before Derek Rose’s freshman year

[Ski🏀 @CoachFJS]

@TheCinesthetic Great show / the ending was rushed . They left so much meat on the bone with Antony / Cicero / Octavius

@Wrestling80s90s This is what happens when the 💉and 🎱 happen within an hour of each other.
