Good stuff from Tom here on new Villanova guard Buddy Simmons. The third-leading scorer in the A10 last year, Simmons hit threes at a 42% clip.

After 18 seasons, I will be returning to Florida with two years left to play.
Man, after having a great conversation with @CoachToddGolden , I’m excited to be back and have the opportunity to play again for the Florida Gators. After a long NBA career, with the new rules in place, I’ll be back on the court for the next two years.

Go Gators! 🐊😂😂😂🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

This Champion will make the NBA organization that drafts him better immediately…what team doesn’t need/want: Production. Winner. Worker. Highest Character. Versatile. Super Intelligent. Competitive.

@bball_brainiac1 Good stuff

[Mike @mikenbacba]

Boston at $188M with five trade exceptions totaling $45M is a war chest hiding in plain sight.

The $27.7M TPE alone can absorb an All-Star caliber player without sending a single dollar back. Add the $8.2M and $4.7M exceptions and Boston can add three rotation players through trades using only exceptions.

Tatum and Brown are locked in. White at $17M remains one of the best value contracts in the league. Pritchard off the bench at a fraction of what comparable scorers make.

The roster has two gaps: center (Queta on a team option is a placeholder) and wing depth behind Tatum and Brown. The $27.7M TPE is perfectly sized to address the center position.

Boston's front office has spent three years turning departing players into trade exceptions instead of dead money. That discipline is now paying off in the form of $45M in cap-free acquisition tools during a championship window.

Atmospheric re-entry of NASA’s Orion (Artemis 1) looks insane at 20x speed. Here is the entire 25-minute descent in just 1 minute 15 seconds.

Four humans are about to fall into a 10,000°C wall of plasma at 25,000 mph with a heat shield NASA knows is flawed. Tomorrow evening. Off the coast of San Diego.

Orion hits the atmosphere at 36 times the speed of sound. The air can't move out of the way fast enough, so it compresses into a shockwave twice as hot as the surface of the Sun. The plasma ionizes the surrounding air and blocks all radio signals. For several minutes, the crew is falling faster than any humans have ever traveled inside a spacecraft, and nobody on the ground can talk to them.

The heat shield is 186 blocks of a material called Avcoat glued to a titanium skeleton. It works by charring, melting, and disintegrating on purpose. The destruction of the outer layer is the cooling mechanism. There is no backup system. No redundancy. The heat shield works or the crew doesn't come home.

The Artemis I heat shield came back with over 100 locations where chunks had ripped off. NASA spent two years figuring out why, concluded it was gas pressure building up inside the material during reentry, and decided not to replace the shield. They changed the flight path instead. Steeper angle, less time in the danger zone. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said publicly that this approach "is not the right way to do things long term."

The capsule will slow from 25,000 mph to 17 mph in thirteen minutes. Parachutes don't even deploy until the last four. Everything before that is managed by a curved piece of titanium and glue entering air twice as hot as the Sun.

Tomorrow at 5:07 PM Pacific, San Diego might hear a sonic boom. That sound is four people betting their lives on NASA's math being right.

Was looking into making a move from caoching my 1st and 2nd graders to taking over as the head coach at University of North Carolina...but decided to keep coaching Marae and officiating. Wasn't sure if they would pay my buyout and have enough $ left over for NIL......

[Beastbrook @Beastbr00k0]

Russell Westbrook is reportedly the "kindest teammate" behind the scenes:

- Left an $8k tip for housekeepers in the NBA Bubble
- Gave Capela a luxury bracelet right off his wrist because Capela liked it
- Took Alex Abrines out to dinner when he felt lonely in OKC
- Sends Jordans and tracksuits to EVERY team staffer every year
- On a minimum deal in Denver Russ paid for dinners, bought clothes for teammates and more
- Great charity work off the court

Russ is one of the most misunderstood players ever.
