@BrianSuttererMD The largest athletes with the highest frequency of jumping AND running in a contact sport

I’m constantly amazed how much trauma basketball players take - constantly landing hard and getting knocked around. They may be the most resilient athletes with how often they take hard hits but keep going

@HalfCourtHoops His own players were confused and caught off guard 😭

There is no shot I am calling a timeout to let this Timberwolves defense get set either lol.

@MichaelRedd_ equivalent of all Playoff teams sending 5 players to vote

Maybe it's just me, but we don't need to pit NBA guys against one another for clickbait. Especially the NY Times. Social media does everything it can to drive division. We don't need to do that here, within hoops. Instead, let's make the poll more about the most underrated players, the best up-and-coming players, the best veteran presences, the most coachable, the most athletic, the most likely to be a future GM, etc. Uplift instead of throwing stones. (Also, let's make it very clear only 81 dudes out of 450+ participated in this poll, so please don't pretend like it's definitive.) I don't know. Just my take.

@databallr That, along with better game scheduling Less slurs and violent threats from fans overall as well

Travel conditions are way better now for teams than they used to be. Probably also has an impact.

Is the main reason for the decrease in home court advantage fairer officiating? I remember reading about how officials are subconsciously biased to make calls in favor of the home team.

@CultureCrave Same issue after several re-watches: all of them are terrible people and there’s nobody worth rooting for Shelf it and keep the Dunk and Egg series going

New poster for ‘House of the Dragon’ 🐉 S3 premieres June 21

Mr. April May and June is a crazy nickname

@WorldWideWob A 29% shot (a Champagnie pull-up 3) is just NOT ‘one of the best looks of the game’ A go-ahead is what you call if you know your players are prepared and decisive in that scenario. Clearly, most of them were confused and caught off guard

LOVE that decision by Mitch Johnson to not call timeout. Almost every Wolves player was grabbing their shorts after those chaotic turnover sequences, they anticipated it coming, and it results in Champagnie getting one of the best looks of the game to win it. Just didn't fall.

@EDubble111 ngl It takes a concerted effort to willfully ignore how the media and people online tore down his competitors and tore down his own teammates in order to prop him up, for years

@NekiasNBA I for one did not know people were waiting on his downfall like this. I opened up twitter this morning and was shocked. I knew he wasn’t everyone’s favorite but people really think he’s a fraud

we (collectively) have not been able to have a normal conversation about him and i just don't think it's gonna change at this rate.

@TheSteinLine The whole point of a G-League affiliate is to be interconnected with the main team’s bball operations, and be able to conveniently call up and assign players between teams They fumbled a great setup

Also ... The Lakers have announced that their G League team will move from the South Bay where the team's practice facility is to Palm Desert and become the Coachella Valley Lakers starting next season.

@HotHandTheory This one is definitely emblematic of an overarching, league-wide issue — people online instinctively complaining about calls where the player actually got fouled

IMO this one was worse because it’s more emblematic of an overarching, leaguewide issue—Sengun created no advantage and had no path to the basket. The Lakers were in great guarding position with TWO defenders. But throw your body into a defender awkwardly and you may be rewarded!

@sergeibaka @ChetHolmgren @NBA @okcthunder mafuzzy man, straight from the motherland, 100% pure

@JanBlachowicz @DawnwalkerGame It’s unfortunate they didn’t let you include real MMA techniques

He’s fast, he’s strong, he’s agile. He’s Bakir. Take a look at how I lent my moves to the formidable vampire warrior from The Blood of Dawnwalker! @DawnwalkerGame #Dawnwalker #LegendaryPolishPower

@NBAonNBC pandering to poster culture. thought NBC would be better than this

Jamal Cain’s poster had FORCE. 💪

@CasonWenjoyer ngl Not entirely convinced bc we’ve also previously seen him (for years), in various settings, rail against topics while having poor understanding of it, including analytics, training methods, health, mentality, style of play, etc

You can really hear Jamal Crawford’s love for basketball when he’s announcing and I love it so much

@ChrisUnger_ @EASPORTSUFC be honest tho, do you think editing it to show a clean figure of Pereira would’ve looked better?

It’s in the game! 🎮 📸 Feels pretty surreal to have one of my photos chosen for the new @easportsufc video game cover.

@ThunderFilmRoom tbh not a luxury. you need 3 ball handlers to be able to stagger them in a way that there’s always 2 of them on the floor at all times

Give me your thoughts on what you think Ajay Mitchell's ceiling is. Been spending most of the day thinking about how much of a luxury his emergence has been.

@BleacherReport @NewYorker 🗣️

Steve Kerr calls Draymond the "best defensive player ever" ... over Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman 👀🔥 (via @NewYorker)

@mcten Put this quote on a graphic

JJ Redick on why close-out games are so difficult to win in a playoff series: “Well, you have to kill them. It’s difficult to kill someone. Survival instincts say, ‘I want to stay alive.’”

@MigClass ngl If you hire the combat sports athlete who is also a gamer, you got to take advantage of his expertise Seems like they gave him a typical ‘brute’ enemy moveset

Former champ Jan Błachowicz is doing mo cap for a boss in The Blood of Dawnwalker, a game developed by Polish studio Rebel Wolves (started by former Witcher III developers).
