@VanLathan Let’s do it a different way…let them switch respective teams & then compare; how many chips do the Lakers win with Kobe and Jokic?

I’ll ask again.

@CoachDanCasey Poorly placed ball and good defensive play.

@NBA__Courtside It’s about authenticity and self-awareness.

Nick Wright on the lack of relationship between Michael Jordan and LeBron James: “Just my speculation here. I think that Jordan became less and less comfortable with LeBron’s place in the basketball ecosystem as LeBron started getting closer and closer and closer to becoming the people’s choice for greatest player ever. I always felt one of the reasons Jordan embraced Kobe was not only did Kobe model his entire game and at times his persona after Jordan, it was very clear relatively early that Kobe was never going to, like Kobe’s ceiling in the eyes of the majority was going to be second to Jordan. And so Jordan felt comfortable putting his arms around him. There was no threatening of his stature. And it’s not lost on anyone that people had been trying to make the last dance forever. That footage had been around forever and Jordan did not okay it until two days after the 3-1 comeback against the Warriors. The story is that it was the day of the Cavs parade that Jordan finally green lit that. So I think there’s always been a little uncomfortableness, but I think it is very interesting that LeBron is saying, “I hope I made him proud.” (Via @WhatsWrightShow)

@Travis1 What about passing?

Would you change anything?

@Alf954 Zion would be better.

(Buying low on AD is the kind of move the Heat should be looking like.)

@5ReasonsSports Describe what Jaden McDaniel brings to the court in 3 words or less.

If there’s a player in this draft anything like Jaden McDaniels, that’s the prototype of what the Heat need

@_ReallyJaewon It’s actually the strongest from a versatility & shelf-life standpoint.

Baby Be Mine is the weakest

BREAKING: Israeli Police have released footage of the French nun who was violently assaulted by a 36-year-old Jewish extremist in front of the cenacle on Mount Zion.

Michael Jackson uses sign language to talk to his pet Chimpanzee. In the video below, he ordered Bubbles to sit down, as he was distracting Michael Jackson. It's really mindblowing how Michael Jackson still had the time to learn sign language, despite his extremely busy routines and calender. This shows how much Michael Jackson was a workaholic and someone who will always see anything through, as long as it's what he really wants.

In response to a question about whether he calls Gaza a genocide, this former president said “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere.”

@MaxBlumenthal 100%

Asked if he thinks Israel committed genocide in Gaza, Obama accuses the questioner of not following the rules, then says “there are disasters and catastrophes everywhere” Obama is a historically inconsequential former president who believes in nothing but his own celebrity

60 minutes Australia aired a special about that Ranch (starts with a Z) a few days ago. Many have heard about possible girls buried from the emails but I had never heard about some of the other seriously dark shit. Other countries aren’t going to let this story die. We won’t either. I was surprised to find 60 Minutes Australia YouTube has a playlist with 59 videos on it. Definitely going to be checking many of them out.

@OmarKelly No. The Ohio State QB is not better than Arch and that’s not a knock on the Ohio State. QB.

The Ohio State QB might be better than Arch. Not the Oregon one

🚨Israeli Settlers Set Fire To Palestinian Homes While Families Are Still Inside This attack occurred in the village of Jalud, in the occupied West Bank.

But take your 2nd round pick and like it @MiamiHEAT

The former head of the Mossad is comparing the actions of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank to Nazis in the Holocaust. If someone said that in the West they'd be accused of antisemitism under the IHRA definition.

Tamir Pardo, former Mossad head, on a tour documenting Jewish settler terror in the West Bank: “My mother is a Holocaust survivor, and what I saw here reminded me of the events of the previous century against the Jews.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

@anishmoonka @frezaziz3 People talk about “Baby Be Mine” like it’s a throwaway song on the album, but the process suggests it was always viewed as an essential record.

Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones listened to 800 songs to find 9. Then Quincy threw out 4 of those 9 and went back into the studio. Beat It, Human Nature, P.Y.T., and The Lady in My Life were emergency replacements for songs that were not good enough. They spent four months just listening. Quincy and Rod Temperton sat in a Los Angeles studio in 1982, going through song after song after song from every songwriter they could pull a favor from. Most got cut after a few seconds. Of the 800, they only ended up recording around 30 with Michael actually singing. Of those 30, only 9 made the final list. And then Quincy listened to the finished album, decided 4 of his own picks were not strong enough, and pulled them. The four songs he replaced them with became some of the most famous in pop music history. The four he cut went on to become hits for other artists. Recording those replacements almost broke the team. During the Beat It sessions, Quincy had three studios running at the same time. Eddie Van Halen was in one of them laying down his guitar solo for free. He had thought the call from Quincy was a prank his friends were pulling on him. Michael was in the next room, singing a vocal part through a cardboard tube. Engineers were mixing in the third studio. They worked five days and five nights with no sleep. At one point the speakers overloaded and caught fire. Quincy later told the BBC they had to carry engineers out of the studio on stretchers. Musicians too. Greg Phillinganes, the keyboard player on the album, said there was a moment where everyone thought it was finished, that they had nothing left to give, and Quincy was still standing there saying "It is not there yet" while Michael, almost falling apart, kept asking what they were supposed to do now. They finally finished mixing in early November. Then they sat down to play the master back, and the album sounded weak. They had crammed too much music onto a normal vinyl record, and the grooves had to be cut so narrow that the punch was gone. So they cut a verse from "The Lady in My Life," shortened the famous 29-second intro of "Billie Jean" that Quincy had been trying to drop the entire time, and remixed almost the whole album from scratch. One song a day. Eight straight days. The only track they left alone was "The Girl Is Mine" because it was already on the radio. The final mix wrapped on November 8, 1982. The album came out 21 days later. The wolves you hear at the start of the song "Thriller" are Michael. The engineer set up tape recorders in a barn overnight to catch his own dog howling, and the dog never made a sound. So Michael did the howls in the booth himself. Some of the background vocals on the same track were sung in the studio's shower stall. Vincent Price did his entire spoken-word horror section in three takes, and the verses he was reading had been written by Rod Temperton in a taxi on the way to the studio that same morning. Michael never wrote his songs on paper. He recorded them on a small handheld tape recorder and then sang them back from memory in the studio. The album ended up selling around 70 million copies. It won 8 Grammys, sat at number one for 37 weeks, and produced 7 Top 10 hits out of 9 songs. At its peak it was moving a million copies a week. But all of that came after the work was done. The work itself was 800 demos, 30 recordings, 4 last-minute saves, three studios running until the speakers caught fire, and a producer who refused to put out something he did not believe in even when it meant pulling his own album apart twice. Nine tracks because they could not find more that were good enough.
