@JonnyRoot_ Still rooting for the Knicks, but completely agree they should condemn any of their fans attacking Spurs fans.
Just because Wemby plays dirty, doesn’t mean his fans deserve to be jumped in the street.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@VanJones68 Yes, the Spurs are dirty and the refs were/are terribly bias in favor of them.
That said, are you really calling for violence? Come on @VanJones68 ….you’re better than this.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@Giants_muse As an OKC fan, we know how dirty Wemby and the Spurs are this year. They’ve been given the green light by the NBA to turn the game into a UFC match. It’s disgusting.
Someone is going to get injured if this is allowed to continue.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@SpursReporter This is your defense? Really?

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@Playoffcity They have to be. It’s the only way they can win a seven game series against elite teams. The NBA allows it because they want Wemby to be the “face of the league”. Disgusting

@McQueenLM10 Hell Yes!

@DrewHLive @MattWalshBlog I’m no Fox News fan, but @LawrenceBJones3 is an honest journalist who’s earned credibility. He’s not at all a DEI hire. He’s not always correct…no one is. But at least he’s not lying.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

The Spurs are incredibly dirty. They will stoop to any level to win…all while trying to gaslight you into believing they’re playing “ethical ball”.

As an OKC fan, I’m praying they don’t injure a Knicks player the way they tried to injure Shai and McCain.

For this Finals series, I think most Thunder fans are cheering on the Knicks.

@Three_Cone Chet is only going to get better.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@waitbutwhy @JesseAbraham Spurs will likely win, but I’ll be cheering for the Knicks. The Spurs are dirty and have zero class.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@PensareBBall Well said.

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@tylerbritton_ @FormerlyCBM Agree 100%

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

@JeffBezos I’m not a big fan of yours…but this is a very practical idea. It should have been done decades ago.

@HoodiDub_ Best Championship speech ever made

[Just Another Guy @workin2005]

“So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.”
Romans 7:21-25 NIV

To my Oklahoma family;
this piece comes straight from the heart.

I hope you’ll take a moment to read it and feel what I felt.
Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of it.

I came to @okcthunder to play basketball. I left carrying 168 lives.

When I was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder, I was thinking about basketball, nothing more.

I didn’t know that before I ever stepped on the court, this place would show me something that would stay with me far longer than any game.

Like any player, my mind was on the game. A new team, a new city, a new opportunity. I expected the usual routine when I landed in Oklahoma City. Physicals, practices, meetings, and a jersey waiting in a locker.

But before any of that, Sam Presti pulled me aside and told me there was somewhere we needed to go.

He didn’t explain much, and I didn’t think to ask. I was focused on the next step in my career.

What I didn’t understand was that, before I could represent the place I was about to play for, I needed to understand it.

So instead of heading to the facility, he took me to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

I walked in without knowing what I was about to see, and within minutes, everything slowed down.

There are 168 chairs at the memorial, each one representing a life lost on April 19, 1995. They are arranged in quiet rows, each engraved with a name, each standing where a person once stood in that building. Then you notice something that is impossible to process the first time you see it. Some of the chairs are smaller.

They belong to children.

There is no speech that prepares you for that, no headline that captures it. You simply stand there, and the silence carries a kind of weight that is hard to describe but impossible to ignore.

As you walk through the memorial, you pass between two gates marked 9:01 and 9:03. At first, they seem like simple numbers, but then you understand what they hold. One marks the last minute before the attack. The other marks the first minute after. And in between those two gates is 9:02, the moment when everything changed.

That minute does not feel like history when you are standing there. It feels present.

The reflecting pool stretches across what used to be a city street, its surface calm and still. When you look into it, you do not just see water. You see yourself standing in a place where unimaginable loss occurred, and for a moment, everything else in your life becomes quieter.

Nearby stands the Survivor Tree, an American elm that was damaged in the blast but endured. It is not untouched. Its scars are part of what it represents. But it is still standing, and in that, it carries a kind of strength that does not need to be explained.

We did not speak much while we were inside. It did not feel like a place for conversation. Some places ask for words. This one asks for reflection.

When we stepped outside, Sam Presti looked me in the eye and said, “This is what this state has been through.”

Then he said something I will never forget.

“Every time you step on that court, you are not just playing in front of fans. You are playing for a state that carries this with it. Give them everything you have. They deserve that.”

In that moment, basketball felt different.

Not smaller, but clearer.

Because what I had just seen was not only about what was lost. It was about what remained. A state that had experienced unimaginable pain and still chose to come together, to rebuild, and to move forward without losing its humanity.

From that day on, every time I stepped on the court, I carried that with me.

On the nights when I was tired, when I was hurt, when I was dealing with challenges that felt heavy in the moment, I would think about those chairs, about that minute, about the people behind those names. And I was reminded that what I was going through did not compare to what this state had endured.

If there’s any chance of Universal High (basic) Income working, it has to be tied to some type of work. Humans need purpose.
That could mean finding a good deed to accomplish…volunteer at a nursing home, foster a child, coach a sports team, etc.
I’m skeptical, but purpose has to be considered in any attempt.
