Jalen Brunson’s mom, Sandra, missed her connecting flight, had to fly commercial, and drove 1.5 hours from Austin to San Antonio just to make it to Game 5 on time.
She refused to take the team’s private charter so she could attend a charity event for kids in Harlem.
A mother’s dedication.

Before there were female referees at the World Cup, others were paving the way and dealing with far worse.
When German referee Bibiana Steinhaus showed Karim Demirbay a red card, he told her she should stick to the kitchen. So she wrote it down in her report word for word.
FIFA then suspended him for five matches and, as part of that punishment, made him officiate a women's football match.
The right call on and off the pitch.
RFK Jr has cut Alzheimers research.
Alzheimers.
One of the most devastating, urgent and increasing health problems we face today.
He's not interested.
He's a nasty piece of work.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of artist David Hockney.
In 2018, David Hockney designed The Queen’s Window, a vibrant stained-glass window in the Abbey’s north transept.
Hockney's only work in stained glass, the window was commissioned to celebrate the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It was designed on an iPad and uses Hockney's distinct colour palette of yellow, red, blue, pink, orange and green. The rural scene, featuring hawthorn blossom, was chosen to reflect the Queen's deep love of the countryside. On summer evenings, the light from the window floods the transept, bathing it in a beautiful kaleidoscope of colour.
The Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle MBE said:
“David Hockney's restless eye and eager enthusiasm for pastures new has left us with an extraordinary legacy that is rich and various and yet also unmistakably his. The window he created for the north transept lets in light that arrives with attitude and even humour, painting the statue of Gladstone in shifting shades throughout the summer months. Hockney has left his mark here and we will long remember a great and very personal genius.”
10 years ago Jo Cox was shot and stabbed to death in Birstall by a far right thug.
Do you remember the Farage \ Tommy Robinson riots that followed it,
No me neither.
