@ArbreMojito @zinzy_js Purely due to host nation scheduling shenanigans. Played USA twice, while France only saw them once in the finals.

Wemby led the tournament with 5.7 blocks per game, Chet was 3rd with 2.7 (2nd was 2.9)
He averaged 14 points and 7.4 rebounds, Chet had 11.9 points and 6.4 rebounds
Wemby had 22 points 8 rebounds and 8 blocks and lost the MVP to a 10 point performance on 3/8 FG because he lost the championship game by 2 points
I’d hate Chet too

I was unaware it went this way back omggg 😭

@memsupersilver @vozhdot Hope you've learnt today what Dar-dan, Bog-dan, Zvez-dan, Slobo-dan means, and the ethnicity of Skenderbeg and his entire family.
Erecting statues to your favorite cult leaders means very little when your own language wasn't even standardized before 1972.
English
@fieldprop @vozhdot We are talking about Scanderbeg, and Dardanians!
English
Dardan = gift given, similar to Darko & other pure Macedonian names.
frymë3001🇦🇱✝️🎮@fryme3001
@vozhdot Dardan means Dardha, land of pears
English
@memsupersilver @vozhdot Also, erecting a random statue over the past decades is not a equivalent to a historical monument, regardless of how many times you force it...
English
@fieldprop @vozhdot There are 47 statues of Scanderbeg in the world and NONE are in Serbia.
And Serbs have not had any legends like Scanderbeg, ever!
English
@memsupersilver @vozhdot My bro, he became a "national hero" at the end of 19th century when Austro-Hungarian empire decided to create Albanian nation. He was a landlord of Serbian origin controlling the land where Albanians also lived, during the ottoman occupation.
You also have a Bill Clinton statue.
English
@memsupersilver @vozhdot Why? He was one of many Serbian military commanders and statesmen. There were many more accomplished ones. He was unknown til Austrians handpicked him and assigned to be Albanian national hero for the upcoming new nation.
Albanians also have Bill Clinton, Tony Blair statues...
English
@fieldprop @vozhdot Do you have any statue of Scanderbeg in Serbia???
English
@memsupersilver @vozhdot Albanians are Illyrians as much as Skenderbeg with his father Jovan, mother Vojislava Branković, great grandfather Branilo, grandfather Pavle, brothers Staniša, Repoš, Konstantin, sister Mamica, Jelena, Angelina, Mara were Albanian.
@TempestOfFlame 🤡
So Slavs came from thousands of kilometers away and the existing "tribes" of Europe peacefully allowed them to walk into their homes, sleep with their wives and even learnt the "invaders'" language on a land that spans from East Germany to Japan.
GTFOH
English
Even if we accept the Albanian "autochthonous" theory as true, it makes them no more entitled to anything in the Balkans
When the Slavs came here, they neither found empty fields nor genocided the natives. They intermarried
We all go back to the same point of human settlement
English
White Christians have killed, lynched, raped, stolen, brutalized and cheated their way into power for the last 1500 years and those same white Christians are still the #1 perpetrators of domestic terrorism in the U.S. TODAY yet we are not taught to hate them.
I wonder why?

@Vision4theBlind Did you expect just a random non-controlled dude to be in charge of a major corporation?

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is a Rockefeller Foundation trustee
That explains a lot about the NBA

@JMurrayWrld Question was "what can you even do against Wemby".
And this is the correct answer.
It's not like we've never seen it.
English
Jokic averages 42/12/11 his last 3 games vs Wemby lmao
Jon Krawczynski@JonKrawczynski
I just don't know what you can even do against Wembanyama. I really don't.

@NBA__Courtside So they're executing a character assassination on an NBA superstar in broad daylight.
Great opportunity for everyone to cancel their cable subscription and vote with your wallet.

Kendrick Perkins shares text messages from former Celtics players on Jaylen Brown and claims they don’t ‘rock’ with Jaylen Brown after his recent comments:
“I get another text that says ‘hey, JB trippin.’ Another text from a former Celtics player that said ‘JB, lack of accountability.’— JB guess what? It’s a lot of people in the organization, a lot of former players, legends, that don’t agree with you bro! — This instance, I can’t rock with you JB. Guess what? There’s a lot of former Celtic players that’s not rocking with you either.”

Stephen A Smith sends a warning shot at Jaylen Brown after his ‘f*ck Stephen A’ comments 👀 “Jaylen Brown be careful what you wish for. You really want me to start reporting on that level? You understand? Locker room, how the organization might think about you, how the city may feel about you, how Jayson Tatum may or may not feel about you, sneaker deals, endorsement deals, the list goes on and on. The season is over bro. You’re on twitch trying to do what I do”

@liz_churchill10 This is just for optics. Where are the ACTUAL bankers controlling the global governance.

President Bukele arrested the Crooked Bankers 💰
In 2024, Executives and Insiders from El Salvador’s COSAVI Credit Union were busted for stealing $35M from 10,000 people through fraud and money laundering.
Bukele’s Fiscalía paraded 15 of these criminals to the public…

@JonesOnTheNBA 1080 HDR stream has been suffering from severe ghosting/artifacting and digital noise throughout the season. This is the result of insufficient bandwidth for a fast paced indoor game with a ton of movement, reflections, etc.
Give us the ~30% bitrate increase next season.

For those rejoicing, what’s your issue? I think Prime has been great this year and only had one glitch for me the whole year. And I think they have the best studio show right now.

If LeBron James left the Lakers, he "would likely sign at the $15M non-tax midlevel or veterans minimum" with any other team. (via @BobbyMarks42)
