Earlier this week, we had to say goodbye to one of our best friends. Duke, you were the best dog I could have ever imagined. Our home is already more lonely and empty without you. Can’t wait to see you again. Love you and miss you. 💙

Jokic can't defend. Jokic's assists are fake. Jokic doesn't score at an elite level. He's overrated all over the court. He just happens to lead NBA in +/- over the last five years BY MORE THAN 500 POINTS OVER SECOND PLACE. Because he's fake and bad.

This is one of the most perfect things the internet has ever created.

I can't believe the NBA is artificially inflating the Nuggets offensive rating to make Jokic look good. Can't believe his team has had a top 7 offensive rating 9 years in a row... smh handoff merchant

Nikola Jokic was given an assist on ALL OF THESE baskets 😱 Please look into this @NBA

This is my kids’ Infinity War

man i know this was the hardest shot in his life, every hooper knows how devastating a fast break layup at full speed is 😭

I've had all of a half hour to think on it. This is one of the craziest shots I've ever seen, especially factoring in the eventual result.

Got this meme on standby…

This post is still up after a full day. Over the last 4 years, Sen. Van Wanggaard lost 3 siblings, another has dementia and suffered a heart attack, and his daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He is stepping away to focus on family. Show some decency and delete this.

Here are the biggest mismatches of the day for the first day of the NCAA Tournament

This is exactly how a corrupt governor responds when someone starts exposing fraud.

Y'all remember 2013 T.J. Bray?

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

Make the memories that never leave you, where magic meets the sea. 🚢🌙✨
