This is without a question my favorite month of so ever in sports. What an unbelievable run
Trae is a truly special offensive talent… my favorite Hawk of all time.
It’s a sad day… I understand the front office’s direction but it still sucks.
Thanks for everything Trae 🐐
A man deposited a fake junk mail check for $95,000 as a joke. The bank cleared it. Six lawyers told him it was legally his money. He gave it all back anyway.
– Patrick Combs was 29, living in San Francisco in 1995 with $200 in his bank account when a junk mail letter arrived offering him a get-rich-quick scheme.
– Inside was a promotional fake check made out in his name for $95,093.35. Printed across the front in clear letters: NOT NEGOTIABLE.
– In a moment of dark humor he signed the back with a smiley face and deposited it at an ATM.
– He expected the bank to call him laughing. They never called.
– Ten days later he checked his balance. $101,217.34. The check had cleared.
– The promotional check was so close in design to a real check that it legally qualified as one under banking law.
– By the time the bank realized what had happened it was legally too late to recall the funds.
– Combs called his brother who told him to move the money immediately.
– He tried to withdraw $95,000 in cash. He learned three things. All the large safe deposit boxes were taken, $500 bills no longer existed, and $95,000 in $100 bills did not fit in a small box.
– He got a cashier's check instead and locked it in a safe-deposit box.
– When the bank finally came for the money a month later they accused him of fraud and threatened police.
– He refused to return anything until they admitted in writing that they had made the mistake, not him.
– Six different lawyers reviewed his case and told him the money was legally his to keep.
– The bank and Combs went to war for five months. He gave interviews on television and in newspapers. The public loved him.
– He eventually gave every dollar back. All he wanted in return was a signed letter clearing him of any wrongdoing and lunch with the bank president. He got the letter but not the lunch.
– He turned the entire story into a one-man show called Man 1 Bank 0 and performed it 2,000 times across the world.

Draymond Green blasts $100,000 NBA fines: “This job ain't set up for us to be wealthy”
“The amount of money we get fined for the things that we do, that shit don't happen in Corporate America”
“You get fined $50,000 because you say something somebody don't like. 50 grand, that's real money. 100 grand. ‘Oh, he only got fined 100 grand.’ The fines to me don't make sense”
“As hard as we work to accumulate wealth, coming from situations that most people never make it out. Then you get fined the way we get fined. It's actually not set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing”
"The way we're taxed, the way we're fined, this job ain't never been set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing”

I like to think I’m a pretty big NBA fan but this product is becoming unwatchable. I don’t blame the players, I blame the league for allowing it to happen over and over. It’s tiring man. Shit ain’t basketball.
A Knicks—Thunder Finals I would be crazy. The refs are going to be so confused when to call stuff and who to call it on. The flopping is gonna be movie material.
Offense was better with Dyson on the court during the regular season
Has been better with Dyson on in the playoffs too
Pick someone else to get your takes off
I don’t think she’s the best player or anything but she impacts the game positively overall.
She’s an elite rebounder/defender and makes the plays that don’t show up in the box score.
She’s had a +\- of +14 in this game in only 13 minutes played. 🤷♂️
