If you're interested in travel to Mexico, what I've been cooking or eating, etc, check out my Instagram. I reserve twitter for traffic rants, Blazers fandom, retweets of interesting news items, and the occasional trolling these days and little else. https://t.co/5nBDWihwwC

@JimmySpencer If it is a travel, it's one they give to every player, so there's not really an advantage for Brunson.

Second for second, @tylercowen packs more substance into a talk than anyone I'm aware of. This is a clear, non-hysterical, and somewhat soothing discussion of our AI future.

@MookieMich @HoopsReference You said "Jordan would never" and I gave you an example where Jordan was worse. Moving the goal posts because you don't like the truth doesn't make it any less true.

@Camden_Cash @peterk0578 Wrong. It's KAT's off arm, not his shooting arm, that makes contact first and creates everything that follows.

@HistoryBoomer Psst. Let me tell you a secret: they don't care if it's real or not.

@MookieMich @HoopsReference Meanwhile, Jordan, in a 1996 finals loss: 23 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 turnovers, 6-for-19 shooting

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

@HoopsReference I mean, he called himself out after the game despite having 26 points and 12 rebounds. He missed too many shots, but he had a better +/- than most of the guys on the team and had a decent defensive game.

@Mike164ftf @NBA__Courtside He's built like Wilt or Kareem. Wilt played 15 years and averaged over 75 games a season in all but three of those. Kareem played 20 years and never played less than 62 games.

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

@NBA__Courtside I don't think it's his muscle that's the issue. He wants to play point guard. He's trying to play like a cross between Giannis and Steph, but needs to play more like Wilt or Kareem to dominate. He needs to start with the ball in the paint more and at the top of the key less.

@SoftIsUnruly @PicturesFoIder They're not endangered. There are millions of them. 700 doesn't even make a dent. If you're going to be mad about it, it's not the number.

@PlanetEarthOG @GothamCityM Because if you don't foul Wemby, he's basically unstoppable.

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

@Sn_Gz @MAdamsStatGuy @sportingnews Lol. Wilt was clearly the better player. Russell was on the better team.

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

@MAdamsStatGuy @sportingnews One of the worst such lists I've seen. Would get a better list just from BPM or PER. You say it's about best player, eg, and then proceed to put Bill Russell ahead of Wilt over and over again because of his team. Garbage.

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

@sportingnews @wehavethedata_ @MAdamsStatGuy This is such baloney. Kobe on here way too much. Bill Russell on here way too much. This is garbage. Don't need to look beyond that to know it's garbage.

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

@gobirdsbro @HaterReport Philly fans really are the worst.

@Variety Every time I see her in a movie she out acts a lot of the bigger names. Underrated actress.

@TicketTalkNet @conorsen Embarrassing for the Spurs how many Knicks fans were in the stands.

[Nicholas Zukin 🐑🔥🌮 @extramsg]

OKC fans are delusional. Was just telling a friend how nice it is how little flopping there has been in this game. This is not a flop. OKC fans gaslighting the rest of the league so they can feel comfortable with an MVP that falls down on 25% of his shots.

[SGA MVP x2 ⚡️ @mynameis_kaylee]

are they gonna discuss that a massive flop by Harrison Barnes caused an injury to Jalen Brunson? Or are the spurs still “ethical”
