The NBA spend so much money to portray him as the next best thing, and then it turned out that he’s just a spoilt brat who talks big, plays dirty and disappears when it matters.
KAT: "My failures have actually built me into the man today on and off the court. Everyone wants the easy route and I think it's so fitting that for me I've always wanted the biggest challenge and there's no bigger challenge than to win in New York City for the New York Knicks. It's a big shoutout too to everyone in Minnesota that allowed me to grow, allowed me to learn, allowed to know what it really takes to get to this point. I'm so blessed that I had some amazing teammates like Ricky Rubio, Zach LaVine, Andrew Wiggins, of course my little brother Anthony Edwards man I talk to him all the time, Rudy Gobert and everyone"
Karl-Anthony Towns finished the Knicks' championship run with a playoff plus/minus of +258, which is the best in NBA history since that's been tracked.
KAT broke Steph Curry's record of +244 in 2016-2017.
A rat named Ronin has found 109 landmines in Cambodia. He clears a patch the size of a tennis court in about half an hour. A person doing the same job by hand, with a metal detector, would need four days.
That rat was trained the same way you’d teach a dog to sit. It’s called clicker training. The trainer clicks a little noisemaker the instant the rat does the right thing, then gives it a snack. Do that enough times and the click by itself starts to mean yes, do that again, and the rat will repeat almost anything to earn the next bite. Over about nine months, Ronin learned to walk a marked strip of ground and freeze the second he smells the chemical packed inside a buried bomb. He scratches the dirt right over the spot to point it out. He pays no attention to metal and only chases the smell of explosives, which is why he beats a metal detector that beeps at every rusty nail in the soil.
There’s a reason the job goes to a rat instead of a dog. Ronin weighs about two and a half pounds. He can walk straight across a live mine without being heavy enough to set it off. He’s also cheap to train, around $7,300. A bomb-sniffing dog runs closer to $25,000.
Ronin isn’t even the first star. He broke the record held by a rat named Magawa, who found 71 mines across five years and was given a tiny gold medal by a British animal charity, the first rat they’d ever honored that way. The group that trains them, APOPO, has been at this since 1997 and has pulled more than 169,000 buried bombs out of old war zones. Cambodia by itself still has somewhere between four and six million of them sitting in the ground.
And that same nose often gets a second job. Once a rat retires from minefields, some are retrained to sniff spit samples at health clinics and flag people with tuberculosis that the clinic’s own test had missed. The whole thing runs on one simple deal. Every time the rat finds the target, a human rewards it with a click and a snack, so it keeps hunting for the next one.
This is the wildest nba video I’ve seen in 2026
Where there different rules for Curry? He’s fouled so many times here and you know SGA gets 100% of these calls
Watching this play again this morning, I’m advocating for the Thunder to please send a message to start game 2. The NBA refuses to police this guy. You need to put a shoulder through his chest in the first quarter and put him on his ass. That’s how you handle this guy.
