@PHClapp Thanks Patrick! Still trying to wrap my head around it all happening.

[Ben Couch @viewfromcouch]

Being able to watch the Knicks (and Mets) was the final straw in convincing my dad we needed cable 35 years ago.

Being able to watch the Knicks in the Finals for the first time in 27 years while WORKING FOR THE NBA is going to be a trip.

[Ben Couch @viewfromcouch]

And uh, I might just be in Brooklyn to watch/work Games 6 and 7. You know, if it comes to that. The outline of the full circle is visible through the fog of the fates.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

[Sam Stejskal @samstejskal]

A complete must-read for anyone who cares about the future of soccer in the U.S. Super informative and engaging. The perfect companion for this crazy summer of soccer we're embarking on.

Plus, Paul is a great guy. Buy his book! https://t.co/NdHWBL1iQn

If @UNCHussman doesn't produce some quality entries, it's a miss!

There's still time Baby Heels! #GDTBATH

Deadline is Sunday for student journalists to enter. https://t.co/Pkv5oaffNO

Chris gets to be as shameless as he wants, because this book – and the journalism behind it – are both incredible.

Every New Yorker who didn't write it first (*raises hand*) owes this man a debt for doing the story justice. That debt can be paid with reads and purchases!

[Chris Herring @Herring_NBA]

Shameless plug, since I know Knick fans are still waiting for the NBA Finals to kick off: Wrote a book I’m really proud of about the last era of Knicks to reach this stage. Spoke to 200+ people, and project made NYT bestseller list and Obama’s book list

Word to #Tendernism chef Walter Johnson:

"Hey, man, get on down.

Hey, you know how to do it already.
Only thing you got to do is do it.

This internet. Pop that internet out? Boy, look, you go across the world. You ain't too old.

Don't let nobody never say you too old."

Just dropped something off at the post office. Entering email for receipt, electronic keypad offers a 'bksp' button. For 'Backspace'.

TIL that was an option.

Or the Matrix glitched. Go with what soothes your brain ...

@BrooklynNets x @Ticketmaster

[Ben Couch @viewfromcouch]

Agree with the proposed endgame or no, a pretty insightful take ...

[David Lee @dlee4three]

Every season Cleveland keeps Donovan Mitchell on the roster further depreciates the 30+% of the cap they allocated to Evan Mobley.

1 of the most glaring examples of incongruence between a team’s two best players in the league, CLE MUST make a decision between them this offseason

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

.@NYCSanitation I'd like to report a sweep

We're out of the AWS Draft Combine 2026, and a month out from the #NBADraft, so you know what time it is:

The Consensus Mock has arrived!

[Ben Couch @viewfromcouch]

@CHold @trailblazers Ugh. No loyalty in this game. You stay doing you man. There's a reason it's worked.

Holler if there's any way I can assist with networking or leads.

[Jeff Zillgitt @JeffZillgitt]

Dylan Harper gets the start in place of De'Aaron Fox (right ankle soreness) for the Spurs in Game 1 vs. the Thunder.

The Sports Gosip show is informative, funny and a wonderful palate cleanse.

That @mad_hill and @TheWilderThings manage that WHILE ALSO being journalistically rigorous and unafraid of staking out firm positions is a gift to us all.
