He would be the first player in NBA history to be boo’d during their jersey retirement ceremony, which is probably a pretty good indication that it shouldn’t and won’t happen.

A political party that is morally and intellectually bankrupt deserves the rebuke of the American people.
It is now time to make America good again.
That is an endeavor to which all Americans can contribute, for we are not Democrats, Republicans or Independents. We are humans, and the things that unite us far exceed the things that divide us.
We are the caretakers of the American experiment, and the experiment has been rejuvenated tonight.

Shai should be the great uniter. Analytics nerds should love him because his metrics are insane. “That boy nice” enjoyers should love him because he’s the toughest bucket in the league. Instead, he is widely hated. I’ll never get it. He’s fucking incredible and a joy to watch.

Roberta Kaplan, attorney for E. Jean Carroll:
"Today's Supreme Court decision affirms once and for all the jury's unanimous verdict that President Donald J. Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll. His multiple efforts to appeal that verdict have all failed and today's ruling ends his quest to avoid accountability for his actions."

Hilariously bad quote not based in reality. The issue with NBA discourse is reality no longer matters it’s all about *feeling*. Thunder had two tank seasons, missing the postseason twice, then made the play-in, then 3 straight 1 seeds. OKC picked in the top 6 twice, top 5 once.
"The interesting thing about this, @PAOnTheMic, is the Western Conference Finals that just played out between San Antonio and Oklahoma City — two amazing organizations and great teams at the moment — both have a foundation built on tanking."

I’m so glad Wemby had the best whistle of all time. The 7’5” guy really needed that extra advantage.

The timeline isn’t melting down over the state of basketball so the spurs must be winning
Carter Bryant lowers his shoulder and trucks the MVP at full speed while his back is turned and it doesn’t get upgraded to a flagrant and the broadcast takes the opportunity to go on and on about how great he is and I’m supposed to believe the league is biased in favor of OKC
