June 5, 1977: Darnell Hillman of the New York Nets defeats Larry McNeill of the Golden State Warriors in the final round of CBS’ season-long NBA Slam Dunk Competition, then puts on his jersey from a former softball team sponsored by Bottle Shoppe—an Indianapolis liquor store.

@DanKelley66 Ehhh, that was a loaded HoF roster, Wilt was easily better than BR

[Dan Kelley @DanKelley66]

Nobody will convince me there is a better player to have on your team in the history of the NBA than No. 6 until someone approaches his level of success:

Played 13 seasons
Reached "Final 4" 13 times
Played in 11 NBA Finals
Won 11 NBA Championships

In the summer of 2018, the narrative spread about how soft KAT and Andrew Wiggins were after Jimmy Butler went to the media calling them out when he beat them with third-stringers during practice…

Since then, Karl-Anthony Towns is now 2 WINS away from a championship, and Andrew Wiggins has already won one in 2022.

Crazy how life works.

I like how everyone’s now realizing Jimmy was weird for bashing 2 23 year olds like that in public

I asked Vernon Maxwell how Hakeem Olajuwon would fare vs. Victor Wembanyama.

“[Wembanyama] wouldn’t be able to guard him. Dream would be falling away from all that 7’4” shit. He wouldn’t be able to guard Dream, Dream just had too much.”

“It would have been a massacre.”

When the students of Columbia started their encampments in April 2024, their main demand was divestment of the university from Israel. Soon, students from multiple universities followed suit.

Because those encampments were brutally shut down, divestment was never even considered.

Two years later, this is the result:

Say what now Cori? 🧐🧐

Chelsea has been one of the more disruptive defensive PGs. If you have a PG that can guard 1-4 EFFECTIVELY she dont belong in defensive liability conversations.

She damn near shoulda been All Defense last season

[Jada ☭ @jadanotkiss]

Chelsea, who arguably draws the most charges in the league?
Chelsea, whose defense in the low post has won RINGS?
Chelsea, who at one point lead the finals in Blocks & Steals?
Chelsea, who won Unrivaled’s 1v1 Tourney?

Have you seen her hands?

We have to be serious at some point

Ranchers are refusing to self-report screwworm in their cattle. Why? USDA policy means a positive find triggers quarantine/confiscation of the whole herd—risking everything they’ve built. Renée’s right. This is killing cooperation. 🐄

Used to work: Send in a sample. If positive, USDA releases sterile flies (SIT) that mate with wild ones & crash the population—no mass slaughter.

That’s how we eradicated it before.

Now they’re pushing a $750M sterile fly facility in Edinburg, TX while scaring producers silent. Fix the incentives! Look it up: sterile insect technique worked for decades. #Screwworm #TexasRanchers”

it’s been crazy to see twitter spaces about this going on for weeks and see absolutely nothing about it on the timeline. news is being censored

[Nate Jones @JonesOnTheNBA]

It’s hard for Shaq to understand that he was 1 of 1 in that he could be big as hell, run up and down the floor, get hammered all game physically, and still play 40 mins and kick everyone’s ass in the biggest games.

[Ricky O'Donnell @SBN_Ricky]

KAT being the worst possible Wemby matchup makes you appreciate just how rare his skill set is. One of the best shooting bigs ever, but also a great rebounder, skilled driver, very good stationary passer, and has enough weight on him not to get pushed around. 1 of 1 talent.

[Veronica @Finsta_ncobie]

heavy on this being the quickest way to make the bigs not go hard for you, they are out here running, setting screens and rolling to the basket for NOTHING✨

[Clown Baby @RumhamFrank]

@OfficialDomNBA @Joshua_dHoward 😂🤌🤝

[DOM 🏀 @OfficialDomNBA]

So now suddenly coaches opinions matter? Lmao. The same people who tried to say Shaq calling Kobe the best player in the league "didn't matter" now is saying Stan Van Gundy's words matter.

Also funny, LO didn't win 6MOY until 2011 - AFTER the Finals run. Bynum was an AS in 2012

[JB🫡 @jbj23__]

Angel Reese is literally getting triple-teamed every time she gets the ball in the paint. She finds her open teammates, the defense immediately scrambles and we get a look at the basket every time. EVERY. TIME.

Her and Madina can do damage with the high-low like done here. Why are we going away from these things that work???? 🫩

[The Sporting Page @sportingpage]

Wemby wants to play like the rest of the league. Be yourself, dawg. Have your own distinct style. Dont be afraid.
