I used to write below average pieces about basketball, now I just tweet below average thoughts about it.

One unfair criticism of Luka is that he always looks mad or like he’s about to cry. That’s just how white people look after exercising. Every time I leave the gym, that’s exactly what I look like.

But I guess I do cry a lot in the gym, so maybe that’s why.

Obviously Wemby isn’t as strong as Olajuwon, but if I was him I’d be watching his tape on repeat.

[Pitless @pitlessball]

Hakeem Olajuwon's 0 Free Throw Masterpiece (January 30, 1997):

48 PTS, 24/40 FGA, 0/0 FTA, 60% TS, 10 REB, 3 AST, 2 BLK

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

Weak.

[Ball Don’t Lie @Balldontlie]

Don't expect to see Wemby in any soft drink ads anytime soon 🙅‍♂️

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

You can’t put a price on witnessing Jalen Brunson’s greatness.

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

The cheapest ticket at MSG for game 3 of the NBA Finals is going for $7,500 in section 420. This is the view from that seat.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@HalcyonDaves I would have thrown my phone across the room.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

I finally got it. What’s crazy is I had a 60’s Wilt spin in this round too that I had to disregard. God is good, won’t He do it.🙏

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

You can buy a used Honda CRV with 200k miles on it, or you can attend a Knicks Finals game at MSG.

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

The get-in price for Game 3 at Madison Square Garden has climbed to $6,207.

That’s the cheapest seat in the building. 🤯

@Starstruck09 @lynziekate I REALLY hope both statues make it to their new homes. It’d be a huge disappointment if that doesn’t happen.

I imagine they will.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

Can I ask… why is it so important for people to be in Dallas to watch the Mavs/Stars/whoever else?

I’ve never been to a Cowboys game and thought: man, this would be such a better experience if I was in Dallas city limits.

[lynz @lynziekate]

Imagining a world where you can go INTO the city your teams represent and actually see them play

Surely that would never be possible in Dallas, there’s no spot good enough for an arena (except there is & it exists already)

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@jos3_avila Is it possible to live/work/play in the DFW without a car?

The sprawl is one of the huge downsides to living in this area. It’s just an unfortunate reality of DFW.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

Clearly I underestimated people’s love of downtown Dallas.

Maybe it’s because I worked there for 5-6 years and then had to drive through 3-4 more years, but the reaction surprised me some. I’m okay being wrong on this take.

I love this for Jalen.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

In less than 30 minutes, KAT has already scored more, rebounded more, assisted more than Chet did in any single game last series.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

Watching last nights game and I thought to myself, there’s no way KAT cowers the way Chet did.

Which is crazy, considering the narratives about him being soft. I haven’t always been his biggest fan, but Wemby will have it tougher now that he faces KAT and not Chet.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@landahoy14 Using the Cowboys here was a bad example on my part because I agree lol

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@supalaser @lynziekate Calm down tough guy.

In the tweet you are replying to I literally said I still prefer the downtown location because of its centrality and easy public transportation.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@SznFreeman Me too, I’ve changed my mind. Fair Park would be a great spot for something like this.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@JBentley_ATX This is a good point. I think Fair Park has so much potential to be better/cooler destination, than just being an October area.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@RealPhilycheese If they want to, sure, I don’t care.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@purpskurpz Just googled the locations and yeah, that’s probably the ideal, having them all in close proximity.

I’d be all for that, but it’s too late considering the sprawl of the area and trying to get all teams on board is tough.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@tossingphotos No, not really.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@numeroustimes I always forget about the TRE, it’d really suck to drive that far and still have to pay a ton for parking.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

@cjdalltx2026 Do you know how the rodeo is today?

I haven’t been in forever and I have girls who love horses, so I had thinking about checking it out soon.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

Here’s a live look at Town East Mall wondering if they are next:

[Michael Kelminson @mjk2341]

Any other old malls near the tollway that we can convert into sports arenas out there?

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

Ultimately, I’d still prefer a downtown location. Mainly for nostalgia, but also for ease of public transportation.

And I’ll always hate 635. It’s been under construction for as along as I’ve been driving.

[charles snarkley @yourguycharles]

I’d also add, with ticket and parking prices constantly rising, I rarely look to do more than just attend games. So I prefer more in-arena/stadium options than trying to make a day out of a game, but clearly this is important for folks.
