@ESPNNBA Leaders dont say the 'think' they are the leader.

Christian Braun took responsibility for the Nuggets' performance vs. the Timberwolves.

@SilverMoonShot7 @NFL_DovKleiman @Jeff_McLane Hes worth more than that now, hes proven again he can do it without a qb and had even better seasons and more accolades since. Hes also still in his prime and a receiver with less accomplishments just went for the same price. 1 year age difference.

@NFL_DovKleiman @Jeff_McLane Didn't they get him for a 1st when he was 4 years younger? They won't get that haul.

𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: The expected return for AJ Brown is a 1st and 2nd or 3rd round pick, according to @Jeff_McLane A pretty hefty price tag for the 28-year-old...

@ClutchPoints @FirstTake If LeBron played 10 more years and won 5 more rings he'd still say the same thing. Hes admitting that even if lebron was the clear goat he'd never be convinced. Stephen's head couldn't be further up Mjs ass with that comment.

"LeBron will go out there and beat you. MJ will snatch your heart... I'm telling the world, you'll never convince me that LeBron is the GOAT over Michael Jordan." - Stephen A. Smith 🗣 (via @FirstTake)

@LegionHoops Wow massive respect to a superstar making it passed the first round of the playoffs. He can retire now, hes done it all

Joel Embiid has just silenced every critic. Fighting through injury to take down a Celtics team who led the series 3-1 and was poised for another deep playoff run… It’s time to give Embiid the respect he deserves.

@stoolpresidente @sixers Im not a sixers fan but now im hoping they win it all, that neck tattoo better be massive too

I am so sick of all these delusional @sixers fans acting like they aren’t a bum franchise. It’s round 1 of the playoffs guys. You beat a bad Celtics team. Relax. If the Sixers win the title I’ll get a Sixers neck tattoo.

@Goat4eva301 @PatMcAfeeShow @RapSheet Probably never because they did nothing wrong. When will it have that same effect on the player? It already has and hes probably played his last snap because of they way hes carried himself after getting a massive paycheck.

@PatMcAfeeShow @RapSheet At what point will this have a negative perception of the organization by other owners and players around the league as to how the 49ers conduct their business.

"Brandon Aiyuk has no guaranteed money left because he stopped showing up for rehab last year.. The Commanders have interest but they're waiting for the 49ers to cut him.. The 49ers don't wanna cut him because they know the Commanders are interested" ~ @RapSheet #PMSLive

@kylewilkentdb @esidery People having been saying that about the jazz for 20 years

@esidery Win win. Jazz are still trash. How did they have the worst record in the west? But promising future if they can get a good pick in tbis years draft

Although it was highly questioned at the time, the Timberwolves’ trade for Rudy Gobert made them a legit contender, while the Jazz turned those assets into three core players: Minnesota: Gobert Utah: Walker Kessler, Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson Jr., 2029 1st (top-5 protected)

@ESPNNBA KD is a great player but theres a lot of other greats that if in the same position they would be playing tonight.

Kevin Durant is out for Game 5 against the Lakers, the team announced. Durant missed the past two games because of a sprained left ankle and bone bruise.

@Drewmamba619 @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV And LeBron shit on him his whole career whats your point? He sounds like hes upset because LeBron beat him harder than mj.

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV LISTEN to one of the greatest defenders EVER. Yall better not say his opinion doesn’t matter either, HE DEFENDED BOTH

Bruce Bowen says LeBron James is not a top-five player of all time and has Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Bill Russell, and Magic Johnson ranked above him. “He left Cleveland and got a championship... MJ didn't leave.” (Via @RunItBackFDTV )

@ZOBarber33 @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV LeBron would be fine in the 90s, just because the guy plays in a soft era doesn't mean he couldn't hang. Look at his frame even now at 41, he'd be bullying everyone around back then.

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV If LeBron played in the same era as Jordan…. LeBron would join him

@bthaslyone @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV He listed 5 players that didn't leave their franchise, he thinks loyalty makes a great basketball player, you are both delusional.

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV Bruce Bowen might sound like he hating but he speaking facts no lies told 💯

@riverwolf0518 @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV He didnt mention curry though

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV Looking at his list, it makes sense. Since he also excluded Kareem. So his top 5 all stayed with their teams. Everyone has their own opinion. We all don’t have to agree. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Chisportsfan127 @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV So everyone who has more than 6 finals wins is better than Jordan? Do you only count that one stat line or do they all matter?

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV Lebron top 3 all time but he didnt leave unlike kobe and jordan. He statistically averages better than both h2h but he can’t even be considered the greatest until he wins 6 finals. Then yet again, he also has lost 6 of the finals he has been in.

@Dot4400 @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV The majority of those guys aren't in the hall of fame just so you know.

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV All i keep hearing is “Scottie Pippen” 🤣🤣🤣

@vanman_1000 @TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV He came back to Cleveland with 0 supporting cast and won another title against one of the best teams in history. Or does that not count? Also are we pretending that MJ wasnt on a "justice league" roster himself?

@TheDunkCentral @RunItBackFDTV Been saying it for years! U can’t go to multiple tms as a Title merchant, add the Justice League to ur squad & be top 5?? Nah

@BronMuse @statmuse Bronny is the better player

Career points in the playoffs: @statmuse 5 — Bronny James 0 — Zion Williamson Zion was drafted in 2019.

@archeohistories BS

The 4000 year-old network of ceramic water pipes unearthed at archaeological site of Pingliangtai on Central Plains of China 🇨🇳 represents an unprecedented social and environmental manipulation as Neolithic societies faced surging environmental crises in East Asian Monsoon region... Ancient ceramic water pipes in China show neolithic people accomplishing complex engineering feats communally, without centralised authority. The pipes are 4000 years old, dating back to Longshan period (3000-1900 BC) of Chinese society. Also known as Black Pottery Culture, Longshan period marked transition from independent neolithic communities to China’s first dynastic states which emerged more than 3000 years ago. Team of archaeologists found oldest known ceramic water pipes in China, demonstrating that locals were capable of major feats of engineering without centralized state government. The findings are described in a study published August 2014, in the journal Nature Water. A network of ceramic water pipes and drainage ditches at central Chinese walled site of Pingliangtai show signs of cooperation among the neolithic community to build and maintain water system, according to a study published in Nature Water. There is no record of centralised power or authority in region during that period. About 500 people would have lived in neolithic Pingliangtai. Town was surrounded by protective earthen walls and a moat. It sits on the Upper Huai River Plain. 4,000 years ago, region saw major seasonal climate shifts. Summer monsoons regularly saw 500mm of rain fall monthly. Managing such deluges would have been critical for region’s inhabitants. Pingliangtai’s neolithic occupants built and operated a two-tier drainage system unlike anything on Earth at the time. Drainage ditches running parallel to rowed houses diverted water from residences to a series of ceramic water pipes that carried water into town’s surrounding moat. The pipes have a diameter of about 20–30cm and are made up of 30–40cm segments that slot into each other to carry water over large distances. Pingliangtai’s drainage system is unique  for its primary function to divert flood waters. Other water infrastructure from this period around the world tended to be used for sewerage or other purposes. While it is unclear exactly how labour was divided, lack of any evidence of centralised power at the time suggests that townspeople worked together to build and maintain the structure. “The discovery of this ceramic water pipe network is remarkable because the people of Pingliangtai were able to build and maintain this advanced water management system with stone age tools and without the organisation of a central power structure,” says senior author Dr Yijie Zhuang from University College London’s Institute of Archaeology. This system would have required a significant level of community-wide planning and coordination, and it was all done communally. Previously, it has been assumed that complex water systems in ancient societies would have required strong, centralised governance or even despotism. India’s Indus River Valley contains the world’s oldest known water pipes. Copper pipes ran through a palace complex around 4000–3000 BC. Around the same time, ancient Egyptians and Minoans had established vast networks of underground water systems. These systems predated impressive Roman aqueducts by nearly 4000 years. They also emerged in societies that fit conception that only communities led by congregated authority saw building of complex water systems. “Pingliangtai is an extraordinary site,” says co-author Dr Hai Zhang of Peking University, China. “The network of water pipes shows an advanced understanding of engineering and hydrology that was previously only thought possible in more hierarchical societies.” #archaeohistories

@LegionHoops He knew the media would never let him live down being swept by LeBron with no supporting cast so he sidelined himself.

Those saying Kevin Durant “quit on his team in the middle of the playoffs” are clueless. KD played in 78 of 82 games this season… at 37-years-old. He suffered an unlucky knee injury in practice and missed Game 1. He played through injury, and suffered ANOTHER unlucky injury to his ankle in Game 2, which he played through. This injury usually sidelines players 2+ weeks… KD is going through around-the-clock treatment. That’s why he’s not on the bench. The Rockets aren’t as good without KD. That’s why they’re down 3-0. Don’t buy into online narratives. KD just had bad luck, and is still the main reason the Rockets were a top 5 seed this season in the first place.

@VikingsPR @Cbanks22_ Both the pick and the pic were made by AI. Hes a fine athlete and has high potential but we could have traded down for value and picked him way later if he is who we really wanted.
