Think you can stop what they do? I doubt it! youtube.com/watch?v=njE3Ek…

Bill Walton was one of the greatest basketball players of all time – a champion at every level and the embodiment of unselfish team play. He was also a wonderful spirit full of curiosity, humor and kindness. We are poorer for his passing, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

KAT and Ant= Can't. The Timberwilts are 0-3 in games they could've won. Meanwhile, the Slow-venian Dagger and the Handles Messiah are double clutch. Game 4 is tomorrow in Dallas.

When did "blitz" become a defensive move in basketball? In over 50 years of watching NBA, I heard it for the first time this season. And now 30 or 40 times a game. Stop stealing from football!

Ken Burns warns about Trump during his commencement speech at Brandeis University: so powerful, so wise, so emotional, so true. It shook me to my core. Tearing up a river.

There were some sports pundits who suggested that Scottie Scheffler was allowed to play golf the day he was arrested for felony assault of a police officer only because he was white. The video shows the arresting officer Bryan Gillis was way out of line. youtube.com/watch?v=ZqiY22…

Friday's moving screen call. Black twitter blasted the ref, with the implication that the game was fixed to advance Show White. Conversely, Whole Foods twitter defended the whistle. I don’t think America’s been so divided on a topic since Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Iowa 51- UConn 51 going into the 4th quarter. It's a battle to see who's gonna get their ass kicked by South Carolina.
