LeBron James would be joining a Warriors team that missed the playoffs.
Kevin Durant joined a Warriors team that had the single greatest record in the history of the NBA.
Hope this helps.
"Caitlin Clark got the necessary eyes there. But now that the eyes are there, we don’t necessarily need her any more."
This is the ungrateful attitude plaguing the WNBA. This clown wouldn't even be able to sit and get paid to speak on the WNBA without Clark and admits they used her so she should leave now.
Clark sells the second most jerseys in basketball including the NBA. She's over 26% of the league's revenue. These people have no shame.
3 most-watched WNBA games this season:
🔥 Indiana Fever vs. Liberty ---- 2.6M viewers
🔥 Indiana Fever vs. Wings ---- 2.5M viewers
🔥 Indiana Fever vs. Dream ---- 1.7M viewers
The Caitlin Clark effect ✅
The WNBA is the most idiotic sports league of all time…
Caitlin Clark is the BIGGEST superstar their league has ever had, who has single-handedly made the W notable for the first time in its 30-year history, yet she’s not on this anniversary poster.
Absolute morons.
WNBA players hate Caitlin Clark and cheap shot her because she’s white and straight. That’s despite the fact that she’s the only reason most of them are getting paid anything at all.
Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.
McConaughey just stumbled into the most studied result in game theory and presented it as a hunch about being a good neighbor.
In 1980, a Michigan political scientist named Robert Axelrod ran a tournament. He invited mathematicians and economists to submit strategies for a game where you repeatedly choose to cooperate with someone or screw them over. Fourteen entries, some hundreds of lines of code. The one that won was four lines: cooperate on the first move, then copy whatever the other person just did.
He ran it again with 62 entries, everyone knowing it had already won. Nobody could beat it.
The traits that made it win: never defect first, punish defection, forgive fast, stay predictable. "Slowed down, let her in" is line one of that program.
Here is the part Matthew got right without knowing the math. The reason cooperating first wins, and doesn't just feel nice, comes down to what theorists call the shadow of the future. Be generous to a stranger you'll never see again and you eat the cost for nothing. Be generous to someone you'll keep running into and the move pays itself back across every interaction left to come.
He thought he was playing a one-shot game with an anonymous driver on a highway. He was playing a repeated game with a neighbor. Same road every day, same faces, decades in front of both of them.
That is why the favor returned in 15 minutes, and why it keeps returning. A highway full of strangers looks like the one place generosity gets wasted. In a small enough world there are no strangers, only people who haven't repaid you yet.

the amount of “killer instinct” moments LeBron has that get completely written off &/or forgotten is ridiculous. first year back in Cleveland, facing a potential 3-1 deficit in round 2, no Kyrie, no Kevin Love. media would’ve destroyed Bron for losing regardless. Blatt tries to go against the grain, Bron scratches the play, draws one up for himself & games the Bulls.
you’d never stop hearing this story till your deathbed if it were Jordan/Kobe 😂
