.@SarahAMatthews1: "Expecting Trump to say or do the right thing is useless and disappointing. This is the guy who posted a racist meme of the Obamas depicted as monkeys…who posted memes depicting himself as Jesus Christ. There is no decency or decorum in this White House."

Explained this on the pod but this was the exact same calculus I did for my Book of Basketball — being the undeniable alpha of a title team matters the most. In 2009 I had Wade at 28, Walton at 27, Barry at 26 and Isiah at 23. The whole point of basketball is to win the title.

The story is even more alarming when you read the whole thing. A normal American president would be rallying the G7 today to confront the Russians on this and all the incidents Putin has been efforting to destabilize the West. Alas…

Even top players are questioning World Cup hydration breaks and commercials for fans at home.

Our most American experience so far🇺🇸

We met with the Houston Police department and ate typical Texan BBQ together. It looked in there just like in the movies. They even put on Ella Langley just for us.😂

The Big 12 should not be intimidated by the Texas AG’s Office. The Kansas Attorney General’s Office stands ready to assist the Big 12.

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Splitter succeeds Billy Donovan as the Bulls' coach after stepping into the head job and excelling in Portland last season.

The 2020s Milwaukee Brewers have been the clutchest-hitting team of all time. Even they may not know why. @BenLindbergh explores whether the first-place Brew Crew have cracked the clutchness code:

it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount+

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history.

After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

The hotel that JJ Watt put us up in gave us a tour of their biggest suite. It costs $150,000 a night. Completely insane. It even had its own basketball court.😭

[Freddy🇩🇪 @FreddyLA7]

This is all so insane. We found this when we got back to our room. And then someone even sent cupcakes to our room. I genuinely don’t understand how it got to this point. We’re just normal World Cup tourists.😭😭
