Here's Chris Finch on the 65-game rule for end of season awards.
"For me, it might be simple: If you're worthy of the award and you haven't played 65 games, you should still get the award, but maybe you don't get the trigger to the money that goes with the award. I think that's one of the things that's not talked about. Some of these awards are gonna go to players -- not to say that they're not necessarily deserving -- but they're gonna get these awards and they're gonna get the financial bonus that comes with these awards and maybe they're not quite of the standard that would normally demand that... I'm all for the rule. It has to exist. We have to protect the fans. But I also feel like we gotta be smart enough to figure this out... To me, the money piece seems to be the obvious trigger."

Niggas were capital. If ANYONE should hate capitalism it’s niggas.

Remember when California was burning down and people found out all the water was owned by one guy and the fire fighters were prisoners? Insurance companies didn't want to pay for people houses and a firm bought up the burnt land?
You got poorer they got rich
that's capitalism.

Capitalist teach yall to hate socialism because a socialist country doesn't make basic human needs like water, food, housing into portfolio investments all owned by 10 people.

"You can't liberate a slave who has found comfort in his oppression. He will deny his brothers and sisters from Africa, Jamaica, Haiti and be a second class American "- Malcolm X

@lonestardixie @darvidosiris I would like to think that we do but maybe we don’t.

@Cell_STRTD @darvidosiris I can only assume that we don’t have the same ancestors.

Juneteenth is a Texas Holiday to celebrate the freedom of enslaved people in Galveston. Last time I checked, Texas is in America and it has nothing to do with Ghana or the rest of Africa.

@darvidosiris You’re not African, why do you care about African diaspora business
English
@DayDayVM @darvidosiris You should read King Leopolds Ghost. The book has a good depiction of what white Europeans were doing to get slaves to send over to the Americas. It wasn’t just Africans selling Africans to whites. There were kidnappings, murders, threats and coercion. Mass violence to enslave us
English
@Cell_STRTD @darvidosiris And on top of that stop tryna coddle Africa like yall do Drake hoe ass, them pussy niggas sold our ancestors all that connection to the “motherland” bullshit been dead since they got traded for trinkets and all their descendants do is giggle about it while they broke🤣
English
@DayDayVM @darvidosiris Being labeled Pan African isn’t a bad thing. Huey and the Panthers (as well as other black leaders and orgs) had internationalist ideologies unless we condemning them too now. And if we aren’t taken from Africa there would be no Juneteenth. It’s all connected
English
@Cell_STRTD @darvidosiris Juneteenth still had zero to do with africa though so u still not making no sense u just sound like a pan African
English
@lonestardixie @darvidosiris My ancestors believe that our enemy is white colonialism and racism. Not other black people
English
@Cell_STRTD @darvidosiris Imagine your ancestors hearing that their descendants would go and celebrate their freedom day with the descendants of their ancient enemies.
It would mean that we’ve imprinted no genetic wisdom from their memories or experiences. Celebrate other things if we want. But not this.
English
@DayDayVM @darvidosiris We were taken from Africa. That’s the African thing
English
@Cell_STRTD @darvidosiris Because Juneteenth ain’t have a African thing about it at all so don’t push ya jollof rice at my damn jambalaya table simple
English
@darvidosiris Why do Ghanaians need to make up a day about celebrating Black Americans being emancipated when the day already exists? No one is trying to take this day from us. We can and should all celebrate together this great moment in Black history.
English
Nothing is wrong, if the people in Ghana were genuine about hosting an event celebrating people being emancipated from slavery. Then they wouldn’t need to use Juneteenth, they would just create their own event celebrating the people that were emancipated from slavery.

@darvidosiris What’s wrong with black Americans wanting to reconnect themselves with their African roots during Juneteenth? Learning about the land and ppl we were stolen from.

The NBA needs to bring back real free agency. Teams will be less likely to tank if they have a chance at getting free agents. Make it so all teams can pay a supermax eligible player the supermax (35% of the cap) but only his current team can offer him the 5th year.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.
