Like watching Michelangelo craft the statue of David with his bare hands. One of one.

Never understood the obsession that some have with comparing the sizes of fanbases.

The Knicks are entrenched in the NY market. The Nets moved here 15 years ago. Nobody disputes the Knicks’ grip on the market. The fanbase disparity is not something to be ashamed of, it’s just reality.

If you’re a true fan of a team, you’ll find plenty of joy in the success of your team whether your fanbase has 1M fans or 10M fans. The only people that care about this are bandwagon fans.

I can’t help but think how on this day & the days after until today, he was likely deciding if waking up on those days was worth it.

Check in on your loved ones, sometimes those who appear to be doing great are just deciding whether waking up was worth it

The NHL Alumni Association is devastated to share that Claude Lemieux has passed away at the age of 60.

Born in Buckingham, Quebec, Claude was selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft and would make his NHL debut just a few months later on October 13, 1983 and scored his first career NHL goal on December 4, 1983.

Claude split time between the Canadiens organization and the QMJHL from 1983 to 1985, capturing the President’s Cup with the Verdun Junior Canadiens in 1985 as QMJHL playoff champions, while earning the Guy Lafleur Trophy as Playoff MVP.

The very next season, Claude recorded 10 goals and 16 points in 20 playoff games as he and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup. Claude remained with the Canadiens for an additional four seasons before joining the New Jersey Devils ahead of the 1990-91 season.

In 1994-95, his fifth and final season with New Jersey, Claude led the Devils to their first Stanley Cup championship, registering 13 goals in 20 playoff games, taking home the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP. As a member of the Colorado Avalanche in 1995-96, Claude was once again an integral part of team history as the Avalanche hoisted Lord Stanley’s Cup for the very first time in 1996.

Claude played 297 regular-season games in an Avalanche uniform before rejoining the New Jersey Devils in November of 1999, and for a fourth and final time, would be crowned a Stanley Cup champion on June 10, 2000. Claude later played for the Phoenix Coyotes and Dallas Stars before making a comeback with the San Jose Sharks during the 2008-09 season.

Internationally, Claude represented Canada on several occasions, including capturing a gold medal at the 1985 World Junior Hockey Championships and winning the 1987 Canada Cup.

He was loved by his wife and four children, and on behalf of the Lemieux family, we kindly ask that everyone respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Memorial service details to follow.

Do you understand the aura and skill it takes to order in French, in Paris, and have the waiter not immediately revert to English?

This is like when Ronaldinho had the Bernabeu on its feet applauding him.

Truly the greatest to ever do it.

[Ray @RaymondSultan]

Not sure there’s another fan base that gets shit on for no reason as much as the Nets. The hell did we ever do to anyone! Let us suffer in peace!!!

[cecidrai @cecidrais]

Get into sports if you like seeing the worst possible scenarios somehow always happen

Epstein’s best buddies are having the time of their lives because Donovan Mitchell can’t swing the rock

[Justin Thomas/JT @J_Thomas_24]

The whole "Nets should move back to Jersey" argument is pretty easy to counter if you have a basic understanding of economics, infrastructure and team history

[Miles @mtvsthewrld_]

Whole TL blitzing my QB & they’re not wrong

[platinum sombrero IQ 73 @platinombrero]

being a young unproven QB in NYC and choosing to do this might be the biggest self inflicted publicity mistake I have seen in a long time

[DJ @kingdj_5297]

Fuck no. Fuck the Knicks. Today, tomorrow, forever.
