I worry that Wembanyama will get caught up in the distractions of New York City, like the Rose Reading Room at the public library or the upcoming conference on participatory futures at The New School
wemby dunked on chet at the start of the game and chet decided to go ahead and just pack it in for the rest of the night
long summer ahead for ‘ol chet
San Antonio libraries have launched a "Read Like Wemby" campaign featuring Victor Wembanyama’s favorite fantasy and sci-fi books.
Since launching, nearly 160 books have been checked out or put on hold, and local kids are taking photos with life-sized Wemby cutouts.

I can see why Joel Embiid would be frustrated:
A+
🔵Joel Embiid, Pisces w/ Taurus moon
🔵Jared McCain, Pisces w/ Pisces moon
This pairing was ideal for Joel. Taking it away is like losing a key piece of your arsenal; it really takes something substantial out of your game and makes everything feel a lot less complete.
"Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too"
~ Jaylen Brown
Also Jaylen Brown:
Joel Embiid: "I have a message for our fans. Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like [Philly] was Madison Square Garden East. We're gonna need the support. Don't sell your tickets. This is bigger than you...If you need money, I got you."
Don’t want to hear any 1st round crap. Sixers were down 3-1. They were blown out multiple times. They took down a Celtics team 3 times in Boston. A team many felt could win the East. A franchise that has haunted us for decades in the postseason. You’re not gonna downplay this.
Final: Sixers 109, Celtics 100
It took 44 years, but Philadelphia has finally beaten Boston in a playoff series, snapping a streak of six consecutive series losses.
Joel Embiid had 34-12-6 for Philly, while Jaylen Brown had 33 for Boston.
