Ridiculous behavior from Jokic in this series. Don't put two hands on a player after the whistle.
Totally inexcusable lack of emotional control in the 4th quarter of a Game 6, on top of him taking things way too far in Game 4.
Bad Bunny says "ICE OUT" at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation:
"We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different."

Steve Kerr: Obviously we are the visitors here, we are the observers, this is not our city, but we know all those guys on the Timberwolves and to talk to them, talk to Chris Finch, and to hear what they’re feeling, what their families are feeling and to see literally up close, the people in the streets…the tragedy, knowing it right down the street from us, it was almost surreal. It was a really bizarre few days. We have a lot of empathy for the people here. We’re really hopeful that the protests here and nationwide will lead to a much better solution for immigration. It’s not like rooting out violent criminals, they’re taking 5 year old kindergartens and US Citizens and detaining people. Immigration is a problem that needs to be addressed, but it needs to be addressed by congress, legislatively. Not by military force in the streets, pulling people from their homes.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers just completely eviscerated, Donald Trump and ICE over the murder of Renee Good.
"What happened in Minnesota was straight up murder, in my opinion. This lady was probably trying to go home and she didn't make it home. The whole ice thing, it's a travesty… I keep thinking about kids and when I grew up, the president was always the role model. And I think about that and the effect of being a bully, lying — how's that good for our kids?"
BREAKING: Wife of Renee Good, Becca Good, has just released a statement. :
“First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.
Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine. Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow.
Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles.
What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy. And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine. On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.
Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.
We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee’s legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”
