Can you spot the best basketball player on the planet in this photo?

“I think this is a borderline catastrophe for the Spurs and I think them not playing Wemby was a catastrophic mistake.” @getnickwright believes the Spurs’ loss to the Nuggets was a HUGE error:

Rudy Gobert’s thoughts on Nikola Jokic after playing him so many times “I think he’s a winner, whatever he does, he plays to win. He’s selfless, he tries to make the right play every time… I like his humility, I think he’s someone that doesn’t really care about the outside noise, he’s just here to show up, help his team win, and go home. I like that, I respect that”

8ish minutes of Nikola Jokić passes and examples of him winning against defenses

“For them to have a legit chance, [Anthony Edwards] is not only gonna have to be 100%, he’s gonna have to be on fire.” @Chris_Broussard doesn’t think the T-Wolves have the Nuggets’ number like they used to 👀

This video encapsulates Donald Trump's Iran strategy.

Bobby Portis believes Nikola Jokic deserves MVP, but doesn't think he'll win the award 👀🏆 "Nobody gonna vote for Jokic because he already has 3 of them and they probably don't want to give him 4." @BPortistime | @MichelleDBeadle | @ChandlerParsons | @TeamLou23

The Spurs had a chance to avoid the Nuggets and the Thunder in the first 2 rounds of the Playoffs and De'Aaron Fox missed 3 STRAIGHT WIDE OPEN corner 3s in less than 10 seconds 😭😭

Insane.

NEW WORLD RECORD: 18-year-old sprint phenom Gout Gout has clocked a stunning 19.67 time in the 200m run, surpassing Usain Bolt’s legendary mark.

You know what Nikola Jokić does offensively, but don’t overlook the defense. Since 2020, no one has contested more shots in the postseason (857). Rudy Gobert ranks 4th in that span, allowing a slightly lower FG%.

They say records don't matter in rivalry games. But in the case of DEN/MIN, the records explain WHY it's been such a good rivalry. Since the start of 2022 no two teams have matched up MORE than Denver and Minnesota (reg + post) 28 games. Record in those 28 games? 14-14.

Ready for Saturday

Nikola Jokić is the first player to lead the NBA in both rebounds and assists per game in a season since 1969-70, when leaders began to be determined by per-game averages. Wilt Chamberlain led the NBA in both categories in 1967-68, when leaders were determined by totals.

DEN hits post-season with 3 notable streaks: 1. 12 straight wins overall. 4th team in history to win 12+ heading into playoffs. 2. 9 straight wins with reg starting lineup, who are all healthy thanks to last 2 gms. 3. 8 straight post-seasons. Longest among all West teams.

"There’s no escape from the tax collector. At least that’s what Benjamin Brière must have felt after his return from three and half years as a hostage in Iran when he got that message that we all dread: he hadn’t filed his taxes." cnn.com/2026/04/13/eur…

Seeing David Roddy maximize his opportunity with the Nuggets has been the highlight of the NBA season for me. I’ll never stop believing in that dude.

Wow. It hadn’t occurred to me to check because he’s not up for anything, but this is correct. Bruce Brown, the Nuggets’ only player to appear in all 82 games, is not eligible for awards under the 65-game rule.
