Knicks fans rioted in Midtown last night af the Game 3 loss.
Social media and streaming have warped our minds, and TikTok brain rot is at an all-time high.
New piece on Philip K. Dick, androids, and why it wasn't passion we saw last night, but content creation gone wild.

I will never understand ESPN's obsession with this guy. Nothing against him personally, I just don't get the hype.
So many good journalists fired to pay for McAfee & Stephen A's supermax deals. Smh.
The Knicks vs Spurs series has opened eyes.
If you are an advertiser making decisions about upfront investments with NBC, ABC/ESPN, and Amazon, you will have to ask questions about the value of associating your brand with NBA’s credibility issue and chosen face of the league.
If you think the calls the NBA is giving Wembanyama's Spurs are ridiculous just wait til you see the officiating gymnastics they perform when Cooper Flagg is a Celtic.
For the record, had the NBA (correctly) retroactively assessed Wemby a Flagrant 1 for the Brunson play, he wouldn’t have been suspended! There would’ve been no penalty! It simply would mean his margin of error on questionable BS would be gone for Games 4-6.
Totally reasonable!
The one missed Wemby shove is a myopic POV of the officials’ impact on last night’s game. In the building it was clearly a one-sided affair. Examples:
- 2 quick Mikal fouls disrupted Knicks rotations
- Wemby got shooting fouls at will while KAT can’t buy a call around the rim
i think it’s interesting that wembanyama is being granted this level of immunity and i think there’s a connection between his presence and international viewership that’s worth noting
This week shows how little New York means to a global league like the NBA. Our biggest stars are Brunson and Towns and they have two of the worst whistles in the league. Does the league not consider them stars? Not marketable enough? Don't play enough chess?
Worse than Wembanyama not getting suspended for multiple clear hostile acts is the fact that he knows he can get away with absolutely anything and that puts players in danger. Completely irresponsible, corrupt leadership in the NBA.
If Brunson or anyone else on the Knicks did this to Wemby, this is 100% a flagrant foul.
By the way, this isn't the first, it isn't the second, this is the THIRD time that Wemby got away with blatant flagrant fouls this series.
Adam Silver thinks we're all stupid. He is the most corrupt sports commissioner in history.
Victor Wembanyama knows the NBA will not give him a flagrant foul because the rules dictate he’d be suspended for a game if they did
So he’s consciously playing like a violent dirty punk because he’s the new golden boy
Fuck Wemby and the Spurs
Knicks in 5
The @NBA has exposed itself as a completely fraudulent organization. What a complete joke. A crooked, rigged league. They apply rules only when it suits their narrative. Everyone associated with the @NBAOfficial@ESPNNBA@NBATV@NBAOfficials should be ashamed and embarrassed.
