En baloncesto, se reconoce a un jugador realmente especial cuando hace mejores a todos sus compañeros. Con Joan es fácil, pone pasión, te da confianza y buenos pases. Solo queda intentar meter la canasta con todo a favor. De nuevo te doy las gracias. Tu podcast solo puede crecer.
Hakeem Olajuwon: «El sistema de los Celtics era muy difícil de detener. Todos se movían, cortaban hacia canasta y compartían el balón. Tenían tamaño en todas las posiciones»

El Hormiguero entrevista a Riquelme, que cuenta que va a fichar a Haaland... y el puto Florentino compra el primer anuncio tras el programa y suelta que va a traer a Mourinho. Me lo imagino riéndose solo en un despacho de la Estrella de la Muerte 😆😆😆😆
Sir Alex Younger fue durante 6 años jefe del MI6, el servicio de inteligencia exterior británico, y acaba de fallecer de cáncer a los 62 años. Hay una anécdota en el obituario del Times que es todo un ejemplo del estilo de esa Casa. Hilo/
Jay Willams says Jalen Brunson is the antithesis of what fanbases think about the NBA right now:
“He’s the antithesis. Well, guys are overpaid, he’s not overpaid. You think about other things teams are tanking, they didn’t tank they built it the right way, they built the right culture around that. Load management, when is he load managing? “Oh I hurt my pinky toe I can’t play.” This dude hurts his knee, he hurts his ankle, he comes back in and he closes a game down the stretch. You tell me this guy at 6’1, 6’2 isn’t the most likable player in the NBA right now, how do you root against a guy like that.”
La segunda mitad de Jalen Brunson ha sido simplemente sensacional
De echarse el equipo a los hombros, remar pese al desacierto y así encontrar la grieta en la defensa de los Spurs
@josemazing y yo iremos juntos a ver esta maravilla. Dicen, y es cierto, que el universo de masters del universo nació para vender juguetes y reflotar Mattel. Pero la pasión de sus creadores (y de nosotros, los compradores) fue mucho más allá hasta trascender las leyes de mercado y liberar la creación de la lógica unidimensional del lucro hacia la más universal de la cultura y el proyecto compartido. De la misma manera que Hergé supo crear un personaje por encima de las limitaciones humanas de su autor, que no dudaba en ponerse de parte de Zorrino frente a los abusones, todo niño de los 80 sabe que He Man y sus compañeros nunca dejarían en la estacada al que lo necesita. Muchas ganas!!
Como tiene que ser, me alegro mucho. Porque a las personas hay que respetarlas siempre. Lo que he vivido una y otra vez con mucha gente es que cuando escarbas debajo de la ideología de alguien, y del prejuicio que te has hecho sobre ella, descubres casi invariablemente matices que no esperabas, mucho más allá del blanco y negro.
😎 Un padre del Opus Dei y un hermano falangista. Y Pablo Carbonell, pues salió como salió porque siempre ha hecho lo que le ha dado la gana.
🤝 Eso sí, su relación era estupenda y ambos le respetaron.
When Phil Jackson missed the entire Knicks title season in 1970 (injury), his Knick teammates voted against him getting a share of the playoff bonus.
Willis Reed vetoed the decision and Phil Jackson got paid.
Willis Reed missed '72 (injury), Phil voted against him getting the bonus. He spoke about it years later. He said he approached Reed to tell him. Reed looked at him & said "ok" and walked away.
Kobe Bryant reveals exactly why so many athletes go broke a few years after retirement
"Once you retire you don't have that source of income coming in. Even if you save over a 15-year career, if your spending habits remain the same, eventually that well is going to run dry"
"For us athletes the retirement age is 32, 34, if you're lucky 37 like myself. What comes next?"
"The question needs to be, what is my passion. Not where I can create the most value or generate the most revenue, but what is my next passion"
"When you find that next passion, then everything else will make sense"
"But that's the hardest part for us"
"We have to constantly learn. Our mantra is value growth, because to grow you have to constantly learn, constantly move, constantly improve"
Se me ocurren pocas obras en lo que va de siglo XXI que sean tan distinguibles (y tan distinguidas) como la de Satrapi: "Persépolis" quedará por siempre. Es canon.
Exactly one month from today, the United States turns 250. To mark it, the Penn Initiative for the Study of Markets @Penn_Exchange is offering a free online course on the economic foundations of the American Founding.
I will lecture on June 23 and July 28, alongside Alan Taylor, Woody Holton, Joseph Wallis, and Jack Rakove, among others.
The course follows the story from colonial settlement to the early republic, showing how economics and institutions shaped political choices at every turn: the road to independence, the Revolutionary War, the Constitutional Convention, and the rival visions of Hamilton and Jefferson.
This is one of my favorite subjects in economic and legal history.

Incentivos! Qué bien lo resumió Montes con aquel “Los reyes del crudo, Daimiel”, para referirse a los jugadores con contratos millonarios por tener justo las características que se valoraban en aquellos 90-00s (normalmente pivots altos, voluminosos, con más o menos talento, pero que tenían presencia en la zona-).
Shaquille O'Neal says he chose basketball over football after seeing Jon Koncak's $15 million NBA deal
“Football was my thing. Then my father came in the house one day and smacked me in the back of the head with a paper and said, ‘You need to fucking stop playing football and focus on basketball’”
“When I opened up the paper, Jon Koncak had just signed $15 million for 3 years. I'm like, ‘First of all, who is Jon Koncak?’ No disrespect to Jon. He was in the NBA. He was a good player, but I was doing the things in high school that he was doing in the pros”
“I was like, ‘Shit, if this dude is making $15 million for 3 years, my dream was to make $8 million for 10 years’”
“So I started playing basketball, but I used my football pain experience when I was playing basketball. When I turned with the elbows up, I’m trying to knock your teeth out of your mouth”
“People always go back to Hack-a-Shaq and say, ‘Oh, well, he got fouled a lot.’ I never felt it. That’s because of my football prowess and my football experience”
“I think if I would have stuck with football, I probably would have definitely made tight end. I hate when people look at me and be, ‘Oh, you’d be a good offensive lineman.’ I’m not a lineman. I’m a showman”
Deirdre McCloskey spent two decades inside the economics mainstream teaching Adam Smith as the founder of market analysis.
Then she reread the book Smith wrote 17 years before The Wealth of Nations.
What she found there set her on a decade-long project: a trilogy arguing her profession had missed half of Smith's case. 🧵
KAT:
"I just felt a calm and a peace that had to be come from the woman above (his mom). I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. It felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands"
Qué injusto es este mundo. Cuidémonos entre todos y ojalá encontremos siempre un momento para mejorar la vida del resto. Descanse en paz, gracias por hacernos un poco mejores con tu maravillosa obra.

June 3, 1984: CBS reports that Jack Nicholson flew from Boston to Los Angeles on the same commercial flight as the Boston Celtics after Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
