Paul Pierce on who gets into the club in NYC, Aaron Judge, Derek Jeter or Jalen Brunson:
“I mean, it’s clearly Brunson because his one ring, his one finals MVP is worth all of the championships. Brunson is the king of New York. I don’t know what these other guys talking about right now, it’s a new crown over here. We going to move this over here.”

JR Smith tells a story when Tyronn Lue went off on LeBron James at halftime of game 7 in the finals:
“That sh*t was so crazy. He’s so chill. He came right in there at halftime like, Bron you got to be better. You got to be better. Bron was like what you want to do? He said I don’t know but you need to be better. You need to figure it out. Get the ball. Dunk the motherfu*ker. Do whatever you got to do. Bron was hot. He was on fire. I’ve never seen him that hot. Especially not in the finals. Like he stays pretty levelheaded. It can get hot in the moment, but like he was on fire.”

FIFA World Rankings
- Italy #12
- Denmark #20
- Nigeria #26
- Poland #35
All of these teams didn’t qualify. There are 48 teams in the World Cup
Having the best teams in the biggest tournament makes sense. The qualifying process is dumb
This is some asshole shit for sure, but I also blame FIFA because they could have switched them to either the Mexico or Canadian brackets to better support them
Iran was ordered to leave the U.S. and return to Mexico directly after their first match of the World Cup.
The team had expected to spend the night in California, but was told after their match that everyone must immediately get on a plane for the 140-mile trip back to Tijuana, Mexico.
Coach Amir Ghalenoei says the team was ordered to leave the U.S. but did not say why or who ordered them to leave earlier than planned.
"I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup."
I’ll give New York this…they are without question Knick fans…the Nets went to the finals twice they didn’t care when they came to Brooklyn with the cheat squad they still didn’t care
