Thank you Benito

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@shwinnypooh Have actually been screaming at my TV for years about his push offs

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@NYPost_Brazille And we’re supposed to believe “Storrs” Connecticut is the capital of anything. Okay

@IQfor3 The Keldon Johnson flop on the FT offensive rebound gonna sit with me all night

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@LegionHoops @lockedupjb He’s still so salty about getting embarrassed last year 😭😭

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@IAmEricVincent So tired of this shtick. U hand selected one play (which was challenged and upheld btw) and choose to ignore the overwhelming data proving the foul-baiter stuff as nonsense. He’s an undersized guard with incredible foot and bag work. Just lazy journalism, we deserve better

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@RunItBackFDTV @ChandlerParsons @TeamLou23 @MichelleDBeadle It’s hard for me to understand how a panel of 4 people, including 3 former pros, can be so misinformed about a game they have played their whole life and now cover professionally?

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@YankeeWRLD Versatility + Ryan Clifford bridge is my only logical rationale

@kat_wrld 6th in scoring, 26th in FTA per game (not even leading his team in FTA per game).
Someone calling him a tough watch is the quickest way to disqualify your ball knowledge.

[New York Mets @Mets]

THE NEW YORK METS HAVE A NEW ALL-TIME HOME RUN KING!

[The Players’ Tribune @PlayersTribune]

Five years ago, David Wright wrote about what it meant to play for the @Mets. Tonight, the team is retiring his number and inducting him into the Mets Hall of Fame: “September 29, 2018.

I’ll never forget that day as long as I live.

The last time I had the immense honor of putting on that number 5 New York Mets jersey and taking the field for the best fans in all of baseball.

And, I gotta say, I’m not an overly emotional person. As my wife will attest, you’ll almost never see me cry. But that day?

Wow.

That whole experience threw me for a loop, and the tears….

They just kept flowing.

It was like I couldn’t shut off the faucet.

And it’s weird because you want to enjoy the moment as much as possible, but, at the same time, you know it’s the end.

Like … this is it.

So as happy as I was to be able to, I guess — and I’ll put quotation marks around this — ‘make it back,’ I knew getting back on the field in Queens that night also meant the end of my run.

There was no coming back.

As an athlete, you always want to go out on your own terms. You want to write your final chapter. Not many people get the opportunity to do that, though — and I guess you could say that I didn’t get the chance to do that either. But I did get that one final night to express how I felt about the city, and our fans, and about the organization.

I couldn’t be more thankful for that opportunity....

Now, sure, selfishly … yeah, I wish with all my heart that I could’ve made it back and played a few more years and been able to show the fans the David Wright they remembered. I would’ve loved to have made that happen.

But I gave it everything I had. I really, really did.

It just wasn’t in the cards for me....

To have gotten that chance to tip my cap to the fans and everyone involved in the Mets organization — from ownership on down the line. That was truly special for me....

These fans, this city, they took me in and fully accepted me as an honorary New Yorker.” https://t.co/JQcMOVWh90

"I'm not motivated. I'm disciplined. Motivation comes and goes."

Francisco Lindor talks about his discipline over the course of the season:

@NBA_University 8.5k likes holy shit we as a society are so cooked

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@LegionHoops Brunson just averaged 31 and 6 with 63% true shooting percentage despite constant doubles & the officials allowing Indiana to be incredibly physical with him.

Just incredibly disrespectful to Pascal Siakam.

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

I genuinely cannot believe Thibs hasn’t subbed out either Brunson or KAT until 1:16 in the third quarter.

In disbelief right now. Genuinely cannot fathom what the thought process is.

@hyattwatcher Truly New York vs. the World

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

@ESPNNewYork @nyknicks @LT__Murray @McNuttMonica Monica is so good

[Nicolas @nickmaetta]

Jalen Brunson gets assaulted for 48 minutes a game it’s unbelievable.
