Brendan Haywood says the NBA has lost its offensive identity, arguing that every team now runs the same pace and space, pick and roll system instead of having its own style of play.
Haywood points to the early 2000s, when the Lakers ran the Triangle Offense, the Kings relied on high post action, and Jason Kidd’s Nets used the Princeton Offense. He believes that variety made teams more distinct and harder to prepare for. He also criticizes modern big men for posting up from the three point line instead of taking advantage of smaller defenders near the basket, arguing that the NBA needs to bring back more diverse offensive systems.
As a Black man, I’m not impressed by flying cars. I’d be more impressed if our government pay us our reparations.
That’s my message for Black people today.
14-year-old girl vanishes from Long Island. Twenty-five days later her own father has to hunt her down on a yacht and drag her off it himself.
That’s the part that should make your blood boil. Not the rescue — the fact he had to do it alone.
Then the indictment drops: 83 counts against 11 people. Kidnapping. Rape. Child sex trafficking. Real predators, not “mistakes.”
You’d think the nightmare ends there. It doesn’t.
While she’s in state care — the system that’s supposed to protect her — her father alleges she gets sexually abused again. He files a $10 million lawsuit. Two facility workers get charged.
Then, June 23, 2026, Danny St. Louis (45) gets 15 years. He pleaded guilty to three counts of second-degree rape, two counts of sex trafficking, and one count of attempted sex trafficking involving Emmarae and other victims.
Read that again. The man who should’ve never touched her gets a sentence, while the institutions that had her afterward are still fighting in court.
A father rescues his daughter. The system hands her back to the wolves. Then it makes him sue to get justice.
Where was the protection? Where was the urgency? How many more kids are sitting in the same silence right now while bureaucrats protect their own?
Predators belong in cages. The people and agencies who let this happen twice belong under the same lights. No child should ever have to be rescued twice.
God bless Frank Gervasi for refusing to quit. We need a lot more fathers like that and a lot fewer people in charge who treat kids like paperwork. 🇺🇸
