@AlexTaylorNews Macron a une bonne image chez les journalistes, mais la France de Macron est bien démonétisée : -à l’International, rien de nouveau depuis Sarkozy, -dans la feu FranceAfrique (lui et Hollande) -maintenant en Europe (lui et les allemands). Même les libannais n’y croient plus 🤷🏼‍♂️

Je regarde beaucoup les médias internationaux. Dans un monde peuplé par des Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, Netanyahu et autres Supreme Leaders, et même chez nous en Europe avec nos Johnson, Orbán, PiS et autres populistes maison, la France de Macron est tout sauf "sortie de l'Histoire" et "marginalisée" On peut critiquer Macron pour sa politique nationale. Sur la scène internationale la France s'en sort plutôt très bien par les temps qui courent, du moins dans tout ce que je lis et vois ailleurs @NicolasBaverez

@Matt_Pinner The strongest brand and flag on Earth? Britain’s. That’s pure soft power, but a proof that your Empire never really died.

Say something nice about the UK.

@Stv_RN25 @lotteinitalia @ChicagoBoyFR On est libre. Les patriotes peuvent cotiser pour financer cette campagne 🤷🏼‍♂️

@lotteinitalia @ChicagoBoyFR La liberté, c'est d'abord le fait que tout le monde puisse être candidat et que rien ne sera fait pour empêcher la démocratie de fonctionner.

J’apprends que deux banques françaises ont refusé de financer la prochaine campagne présidentielle du RN. Le parti est pourtant CERTAIN de dépasser 5%, et donc d’être remboursé par l’Etat. Comment on justifie ça ?

@WadexFlash Meaningless stats during the garbage time what did you expect ?

Les 3 derniers protocoles commotion en NBA - Jarace Walker : 10 jours d'absence - Brandon Williams : 9 jours d'absence - Ace Bailey : 5 jours d'absence #Wemby

@AUgljevarevic @WadexFlash @firstwefeast (will be)…please read before typing

@Frede_6 @WadexFlash @firstwefeast Wemby is 8-10 years far from that. He didnt do anything. Yeah there is cosmic potential but lets wait

Bam Adebayo was asked to rank Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, Joel Embiid, and himself from best to worst🍿 1. Nikola Jokic 2. Bam Adebayo 3. Joel Embiid 4. Victor Wembanyama Director: “Bam, why didn’t you rank yourself 1st?” Bam: “I’m a humble guy” (via @firstwefeast)

@michaeljohnvis @DamienPetersNBA Who cares about the regular season? Jokic can do it again in PO but the battle is interesting 🍿

@DamienPetersNBA It’s not like they cracked a code or something. These guys have played each other quite a few times. Rudy played well yesterday but it’s just one game. How quickly we forget Jokic had 56 pts 15 Rebs 16 assts. 15-21 fg and a TS of 90! Against these guys on Christmas.

The problem for the Nuggets is Gobert might be the best individual matchup for Jokic in the league. Wemby still feels too slender at times. Embiid is hurt. OKC don’t typically defend him with Hartenstein or Holmgren. He gave Zubac and Lopez 55. Steven Adams is hurt. Porzingis is at home. He plays with Valanciunas. Bam is a little undersized. Allen and Mobley aren’t physical enough. Clingan’s not ready. Mitchell Robinson can’t usually stay on the floor long enough. Anthony Davis stopped playing him straight up a few years ago.

@VolodimirZelen1 Franchement il faut arreter avec l’Ukraine, même si on n’aime pas les Russes, on se fiche de l’Ukraine, on se fiche de la Pologne, voire on ne serait pas contre que l’Allemagne se fasse remettre à sa place. On a le temps de voir venir 🤷🏼‍♂️

🇫🇷⚔️ "la politique française ne semble pas avoir renoncé à cet « appel du grand large », qui a longtemps donné toute sa signification au déploiement de nos armées. L’idée que la France sera, tôt ou tard, de nouveau appelée en Afrique, et que son modèle d’armée doit en tenir compte, la détourne des menaces bien palpables. Cet aveuglement, dans lequel il est agréable de se maintenir, permet de se soustraire à ce que la géographie et l’histoire nous imposent de manière simple et crue : la principale menace à court terme pour la sécurité européenne se situe désormais sur le continent, pas au-delà. Jusqu’à récemment encore, l’Europe jouissait d’un environnement régional stable, ce qui constituait un avantage stratégique exceptionnel, presque unique au monde. Cette « rente géopolitique » est aujourd’hui épuisée. Le modèle d’Armée complet, parfois échantillonnaire, hérité de l’après-guerre froide et pensé pour la projection lointaine, n’est plus adapté à la réalité. Il en résulte que la France doit trancher entre réorienter son modèle vers la défense collective du continent et, au risque de l’impasse, entretenir l’illusion d’une puissance globale, dont la crédibilité s’érode à chaque exercice interallié, à chaque format dont elle est absente ou marginale."

@ClutchPoints Yep I have been impressed by the Udoka’s offensive playbook 😱

Shaq says Rockets head coach Ime Udoka is his Coach of the Year 😭 Ernie: “Who do you think the Coach of the Year is, Shaq?” Shaq: “I’m gonna go with Ime Udoka.” Kenny: “I thought you were gonna say Wembanyama.” Shaq: “I don’t know his coaches name.”

@antmanfs @WadexFlash Miami will never get any title with Bam and Mitchell: stats +1st round elimination. But a huge bet on each of the other three 🎰 I would go for the bold move: Giannis + Ja, and send Bam to the Bucks

@WadexFlash If we had to rank I would say 1. Mitchell (Fits Bam’s timeline) 2. Giannis (best player here) 3. Kawhi 4. Ja

Giannis Antetokounmpo (expensive) Donovan Mitchell (if he doesn’t re-sign) Kawhi Leonard (balanced) Ja Morant (cheapest) Heat fans who should the Miami Heat target this summer?

@KevinOConnor All this long bs for a dumb decision 🤔

Cooper Flagg or Kon Knueppel for Rookie of the Year? Here's how I came to my decision: Flagg is probably going to be the best player to come out of this draft, probably by a wide margin, and probably will be in the running for an All-NBA team as soon as next season. He dropped 51 in a game, then had 45 two nights later. He led the Mavericks in points, rebounds, assists, and steals. The last rookie to do that was Michael Jordan. And he did it under conditions that should have buried him. The Luka Doncic trade fallout was still radiating through the locker room when camp opened. Anthony Davis was in and out of the lineup, and got traded after only 20 games. Kyrie Irving didn’t play at all. By March, the Mavericks were shutting down veterans in the name of tanking for better lottery odds. Every defense Cooper saw was geared to stop him specifically, because there was nobody else on the floor a defense had to respect. Flagg averaged 21 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists despite all the chaos. There's a reason he went no. 1, and that reason was apparent all season long. But this was an extremely difficult call. For nine-straight years as a voter, I’ve found the Rookie of the Year decision to be quite simple. Usually the gap between one and two is obvious by January. This year it’s not obvious with ballots due today. Flagg averaged 2.5 more points, 1.4 more rebounds, and 1.1 more assists than Knueppel. But Knueppel posted a 63.3% true shooting mark to Flagg's 54.8%, which is a massive gap that counting stats don't necessarily close. Knueppel's improved efficiency is fueled by the fact 81% of his attempted baskets were assisted, compared to only 50% for Flagg. The Mavericks asked Flagg to be their primary creator. Knueppel's job was, on paper, simpler. But "simpler" isn't the same as "smaller," and the assumption that Knueppel is some kind of stand-still shooting specialist falls apart the second you actually watch him play. Knueppel shot 42.5% on 7.9 3-point attempts, with many of his 3s coming with a defender draped all over him. He was one of the league’s best shooters as a rookie. But he also shot 47% out of pick-and-rolls and kept his turnover rate low. He set 738 on-ball screens — the most of any guard, by far; Dyson Daniels was second with 524. Kon either popped into 3s or rolled to the rim and made plays out of the short roll. Charlotte slingshotted him around screens and handoffs, sending him downhill instead of just flaring him to the arc. He set off-ball screens. He cut. He relocated. He sprinted to the corners to open driving lanes for teammates. Basically every winning basketball checkbox you can put on a wing's scouting report, he checked it. As a rookie! At age 20! Knueppel’s most memorable moment of the year came in the head-to-head against Flagg. Mavericks-Hornets, their first time matching up, Flagg with the ball late in the game, Knueppel read the play, jumped the passing lane, stole the ball, and got fouled going the other way. He iced the game from the line for his 33rd and 34th points in the game. It's the kind of defensive play his critics swore he couldn't make. The steal wasn't a fluke either. He's a smart help defender, knows how to funnel his man into traffic, and is active in the passing lanes. That said, Knueppel is not a perfect defender. Of the 100 players to defend the most isolations this season, Knueppel ranked 65th in points allowed per play, in the same neighborhood as Luka Doncic and Brandon Ingram. He's not a stopper, but he’s definitely not a liability either. Flagg is a different tier entirely. He racks up chasedown blocks, can strongly contest shots on-ball, has the awareness to get in the passing lanes, and has the strength and quickness to switch across positions. Of those same 100 isolation defenders, Flagg ranked 15th — one spot behind first-team All-Defense candidate Chet Holmgren, and in the same statistical ballpark as Evan Mobley and Derrick White. That's a 50-spot gap between Flagg and Knueppel, and it shows up on tape every night and he's doing it with no defensive help around him. And then there's the degree-of-difficulty factor. Without Kon’s diverse offensive skill-set and his elite trait as a shooter, there is no chance the Hornets would have climbed up the standings. But he was also the third or fourth, maybe even fifth, most important player on Charlotte. Definitely behind LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, probably behind Miles Bridges because of his two-way impact, and possibly even behind Moussa Diabate because of his at-rim finishing, screening, and switchability on defense. Flagg was unambiguously the best player on his team. Flagg put up better numbers on a team built to lose. The Hornets weren't supposed to win either, and Knueppel helped them turn their season around. But Flagg carried a heavier offensive load against tougher coverages, and he was the better defender. I would not fault anyone for voting for Knueppel. I almost did it too. But Flagg’s got my vote.

@TheHoopCentral 🩳💩

Kon Knueppel’s last two games to end the season: 6 PTS — 2/12 FGM — 0/6 3PM 11 PTS — 3/10 FGM — 1/6 3PM

@Od3hAllDay Donavan and Giannis would be ideal🤷🏼‍♂️

If Donovan Mitchell is available this offseason that should be priority #1 for the Heat. Cleaner fit than Giannis and same timeline as Bam. I like the idea of an elite guard/big pairing

@Basket_Infos Pour une fois il ne dit pas de la m….

Draymond Green à propos du rookie de l’année : « Le Rookie of the Year, c’est l’une des récompenses les plus intéressantes, je trouve. Et pour beaucoup, c’est peut-être l’une des plus difficiles à trancher. Moi, je ne trouve pas ça si difficile. En numéro 2, je mets Cooper Flagg. Je pense que Cooper Flagg a fait une très bonne saison. Il a démarré très lentement. Vraiment très lentement. Mais au final, il a trouvé son jeu, il a monté le niveau. Il a montré le potentiel et pourquoi il avait été choisi avec le premier choix de la draft. Malheureusement, je ne pense pas qu’il en ait fait assez pour dépasser Kon Knueppel. Je pense que Kon Knueppel a été constant toute l’année. Il n’a pas vraiment eu de mauvais passage. Il n’a pas démarré lentement. Il a tourné à plus de 18 points de moyenne, il a terminé meilleur shooteur à trois points de la NBA, et il a joué un rôle majeur dans le redressement de son organisation. Les Charlotte Hornets jouent un match de play-in. Personne n’avait vu ça venir. Et c’est en grande partie dû à l’émergence de Knueppel, leur choix de loterie l’an dernier. Il a été incroyable. Et ça s’est vu dans les victoires. Je sais que tout le monde dit : ‘Le Rookie of the Year, ce n’est pas un trophée qui dépend des victoires.’ Mais depuis quand les victoires ne comptent plus pour quoi que ce soit ? Le basket, c’est gagner et perdre. Donc il a eu un vrai impact sur les victoires. Et ça doit compter. En plus, il tourne à trois ou quatre points de moins que Cooper Flagg, mais lui gagne des matchs. Et il n’a pas le ballon sur chaque action. Cooper Flagg est spécial. Je pense que son potentiel est immense, comme celui de Kon Knueppel. Mais je dois donner le trophée à Knueppel. Je pense qu’il le mérite. Je pense qu’il a été le plus constant toute l’année, qu’il a eu de grands moments tout au long de la saison, qu’il a eu un impact sur les victoires, et qu’il a aidé à relancer les Charlotte Hornets alors que personne n’y croyait. Et je lève la main : je faisais partie de ceux qui n’y croyaient pas. »

@ELNVdc @O_Decottignies @MarineNationale Then we can invite our american colleagues for a lunch when the war is over. Always welcome 😘

@O_Decottignies @MarineNationale That's because the French Navy only goes into combat zones after the combat is over.

Meanwhile, the French Navy 🇫🇷

@XaverMaerz @VLS_Appreciator Fullfilling the obligations is indeed highly respectable, but what are they doing with 53 + several C130? Is there a publicly available doctrine ? Thx

@VLS_Appreciator Because, unlike France (50 ordered, 25 received) and Spain (27 ordered, 14 received), we are fulfilling our obligations?

Without being a snarky frenchman, what do they use 53 A400M for ? I’m not saying they don’t need it but I don’t recall Germany having massive overseas operations ? Genuine question if somebody tracked their operational use.
