New York Giants, Yankees, Knicks, Notre Dame Football, Celtic FC and UNC Basketball. ESPN Outsider. I hate your favorite band.

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.

Sorry @okcthunder

[Paul Gelb @PaulGelb]

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.

[Paul Gelb @PaulGelb]

Will ESPN open Game 4 of the Knicks vs Spurs finals by giving Wemby another heroes welcome for going after the neck of a smaller player?

[Dave ‘Jones’ Kaestle @BleacherJones]

This is blatant ignoring of the NBA’s own written rules. Or, more simply put, cheating.

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

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.

I will vote for whoever in 2028 abolishes live streamers and gives life in jail to anyone streaming in public

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

@Kazeem Put the call in to the people at lego

[nick wright @getnickwright]

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!

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

@NYPDnews Are you currently investing Adam Silver and the NBA officials?

[Dorito Dink @_bvford]

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

[val @valtryeks]

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

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

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?

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

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.

[Kyle Becker @kylenabecker]

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.

[Packrip Ewing @PackripEwing]

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

[Manti Python @PythonNYfan]

@nytimes @TheAthletic Adam Silver and NBA corruption are the only villains here. Move along.

[Luke Sawhook 🪚🪝 @lukesawhook]

Imagine how much better ESPN would be if they hired 60 analysts for $1M a year instead

What a shame

[Michael Benevento @MikeBenevento]

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.
