Mitchell Robinson was given a technical for being physical back to Wemby.
Like you literally can’t touch Victor Wembanyama…. but all we hear about is Shai, huh? 🤔
In the last 3 weeks Wemby has:
- Intentionally elbowed Naz Reid in the neck
- Called for bench players to try to hurt Thunder players with hard fouls after losing
- Skipped mandatory postgame media
- Yanked Lu Dort’s hair (the exact play Spurs fans wanted IHart arrested for)
All with no additional punishment from the NBA, Wemby being donned as the face of “ethical basketball,” and the narrative from the series being the Thunder whistle and Shai falling in a series they’re shooting less FT with both sides playing physically.
We’re witnessing the biggest mass gaslighting event the sport has ever seen.
O jogo entre Spurs e Thunder acabou, e a transmissão cortou pra imagem fora do ginásio em San Antonio, com a chuva formando e só relâmpago e trovão (Thunder).
Parabéns pra equipe de direção.
Sensacional.
Charles Barkley calls out people who complained OKC was physical with Victor Wembanyama:
“You people at home and tv talkin about they were physical with Wemby, man y’all need to stop it. I’ve been kissed harder…. There was no excessive fouls. For you people thinking that’s physicality, y’all need to shut the hell up!”
I love the attention this is getting like the golden child didn’t throw an elbow at Naz’s throat last week and nothing happened for it.
If they can play dirty, so can we.
I didn’t think Castle was playable this series — but if he’s gonna be allowed to maul and grab Shai like this on every play he should play 48 minutes. This is hilarious.
Historian Tom Holland explaining the revolutionary impact Christianity made on gender and sexuality which is so often taken for granted now in the West:
"Because of Christianity, I mean, I think every society has had an idea of binaries, that in sex there are two roles that people have to play to have sex, and for us, it's based on gender. It's based on the idea of there being men and women and that's again an inheritance ultimately from Genesis, God creating men and women separate. But for the Romans, that wasn't the case. For the Romans, the binary was between the male Roman citizen and everybody else, and the male Roman citizen could do what he liked to everybody else...
So you know you're a Roman slave owner, you can do what you like to your slaves sexually, any it doesn't matter what the gender of the slave is. It doesn't matter what the age is. You can just treat them as you want, and of course Christianity radically, radically changes that. And you know, if you are a scullery maid in a Roman household (a bit like a Yazidi girl in an Isis household), there's nothing to stop you being raped every day. Nothing to stop you. No legal power, I mean, no sense of moral disapproval at all, and so you can imagine the radical effect of getting a letter from Paul being told, 'you are the like the church.' It's utterly transformative."
SGA just broke a 63 year old NBA record while completely outplaying a fellow MVP candidate (for the 2nd straight game) and having another unbelievably clutch 4th quarter (with 0 free throws) to win the game..
..and the clips going viral are 1 SGA foul call in the early 3rd quarter and Jaylen Brown (who shot 14 free throws to SGA’s 8 free throws) talking foul baiting.
