The amount of grief nations like Iran are carrying while being told to just “play football” under awful conditions on US soil, after everything that country has done to their people, is obscene.
The Knicks, with Dolan, MSG surveillance, Rick Brunson’s history, Epstein class in attendance, pricing out fans are not the good guys defeating evil. And we wouldn’t have to get into this if u were normal about Wemby, who is experiencing the lows of superstardom at 22 years old.
A lot of people want people to be *exactly* as smart as them. No more, no less. They want people smart enough to understand the things they want to talk about and make them feel smart, but not so smart they feel dumb in your presence bc now you’ve “attacked” them by knowing more.
The Bulls landed on Splitter due to his ability to lead the team’s player development, organizational alignment on the franchise's direction and vision, and his leadership and knowledge base as a coach rising through the ranks since 2018 as well as a seven-year NBA player with one championship with the San Antonio Spurs.
Splitter, 41, guided the Trail Blazers to a 42-40 record and a postseason berth as the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference amid adversity stemming from Chauncey Billups’ federal charges.
Sources said top Bulls officials, including Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Bryson Graham and his front-office staff, met with four finalists for the head coaching job last week in Chicago: Splitter, Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori, Atlanta Hawks assistant Ryan Schmidt and current Bulls assistant Wes Unseld Jr.
The smarter women are, the more hostility they face.
In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright.
It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.
You’re answering a different question. “Has Hasan had some progressive influence?” ≠ “Is Hasan a serious source of political education?”—bc for me, someone who routinely blurs the distinction b/w liberalism and the left, minimizes the structural nature of US imperialism, treats anti-imperialism as a moral preference rather than a material relation, tries to rehabilitate the American project, and waters down terms like “antizionist” in order to argue for his preferred Democratic Senate candidate, is not a serious source of political education on the left.
I thought Tolstoy was fully aware of the hypocrisy of the annoying philandering husband in Anna Karenina, and then I found out he treated his own long-suffering wife in much the same way
“We haven’t talked in a minute. The New York Knicks are world champions. Call me back! Orange and blue skies! Wassup Mike!”
Spike Lee left Michael Jordan a voice mail following the Knicks NBA Finals win 🤣📞
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆
New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!
In the last 24 hours, Amnesty published a report on Israel ethnically cleansing Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, and the Explosive Weapons Monitor reported that Israel is the world’s leading killer.
The media barely reported either—because why would that be newsworthy…
JOKIĆ: "You really brought a book?"
WEMBY: "Yeah, I read before every game."
As we approach the new year, take a look back at this hilarious moment from February between Joker & Wemby 😂
I appreciate that Wemby is the face of the NBA, at just 22 years old, a generational talent who can speak multiple languages, loves reading and the arts, is politically left, and actually cares and is comfortable with his masculinity to show emotions.
I know NYC and the Knicks love being the main character but it has been fascinating by the sudden hate on Wemby especially from a moralistic standpoint.
