@GilsArenaShow Ah yes… because McCants was BALLING at age 41… 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Rashad McCants criticizes LeBron James for his lack of aggressiveness in Game 1 👀 "What's stopping you from taking the game over? It's always been my question with LeBron. He's just gotta do better, and it ain't got sh*t to do with his age."

@HugS86 lol. Selfishly, we would get to see you play at least through commentator events so… maybe they SHOULD be mandatory. 😏 But Luigi’s doing psychological damage out here it seems.

I was already retired and I thought I had no choice but to play at Summit commentator events! Then one day, I saw Phil just say “nah, I don’t wanna play”, and I realize that cheat loss never needed to happen 😂 Admittedly though, I did think i would beat him anyway, so he won it fair and square lol

I’m just glad they specifically referred to it as “real estate finance” instead of saying I’m a realtor. That being said, it seems that Cheat loss will follow me to my grave.

@Jackkk Magnus has a lopsided score against Niemann across all formats… delusional..

Hans Niemann explains why it’s so hard to pass Magnus Carlsen as world number one in Chess “Magnus Carlsen plays like 10-20 games a year. In chess, there’s no minimum activity requirement to not decay in your ranking” “Guys like Magnus can play 10 games a year for 10 years and it’s very hard for anyone to surpass him because he’s not gonna compete against people chasing him” “He avoids me pretty well, if he’s playing in a tournament he’ll make sure I’m not invited. He’s playing in a tournament in Sweden this may, I won it in 2022 and they never invited me back…”

@HARPER04_5 I think it’s a combination of things… winning is above everything… but… at some point you need to acknowledge the contributions being made to said “winning”. And your performances in losing efforts shouldn’t just be cast aside especially if you have proven winning elsewhere.

I want to ask sports fans what side are you you on winning or stats? Neither are wrong it’s an opinion.

@TommyGunnNBA @BillSimmons Someone is clearly forgetting their history and it’s not Bill…

Knock knock you fucking idiot @BillSimmons You claim to be a “historian” of basketball but you can’t remember Steph CLEARLY being the best player in the world in 2016?? ALSO, SGA’s last 2 seasons put him in “MJ and Kobe” territory but SGA is also just leapfrogging Steph?? Figure it the fuck out

Memory-holing unanimous MVP Steph is so fucking crazy lmao Steph was gettin MJ comps in 2016 Love Simmons but good god take something for the dementia

@lyraman10 @OsheaJacksonJr Oh I saw it… and what? Roman didn’t do all this out of the kindness of his heart. The other 2 had to pin him, and break the abuse cycle on their own. It’s crazy how Roman leaves for a couple of months and all of a sudden all is forgiven from the fans..

@plague156 @OsheaJacksonJr Except it is for Jey. It's also that his behaviour changed. Jey wanted equal treatment & respect. He got it. Jimmy wanted to be listened to & not treated like a joke. He got it. Reigns took the bullet for Jey in their tag match. You dudes don't follow the story then whine.

Maaaan Roman been apologized. He even acknowledges Jey in this clip. I can count on one hand how many actual “I’m sorry’s” I got from family. Now “my bad. My fault. I was trippin. I was wrong. I lost myself. You know how I get. Yall know I am” !? Those are family apologies #wweraw

@OsheaJacksonJr Now having said that… CM Punk also needed to apologize… like that whole Sika stuff is WILD.

@OsheaJacksonJr Normally, I’m on board with your takes, but nah, one quick “my bad” or “acknowledgment “ is not sufficient for the years of manipulation Roman put his family through to continue to be on top. Roman’s ego is so big you just cant say and mean the words?

@TakeTakeTakeApp I think it depends… if he directed it at the board upset.. then I mean.. whatever… but if it was directed at Nihal… then yeah… deplorable..

@ctrlnarrative While I can’t sit here and say that J.R. Didn’t have some decent games in some of those playoff games… in real time, I can tell you that he disappeared for stretches. Many games in which they needed him and he was a non factor… and that boneheaded play was kind of the icing 🎂

JR Smith balled out for the Cavs in the playoffs Only real ones don't let one play define his tenure in Cleveland

I will NEVER cheer for TDS…. But I can’t help but agree with their take. Doesn’t make any sense..

@stephenasmith Debating you I’m sure he felt that way. Too easy

My full response to Max Kellerman: youtu.be/iD5a6doMZpY?si…

@Ronrosco2 What type of Mickey Mouse stats are these?

Lamar is 0-5 in the playoffs. But on the flip side these are the records of other QBs in the playoffs: Mahomes: 3-4 Allen: 0-6 Burrow: 0-2 Brady: 7-13 Brees: 1-9 Rodgers: 1-10 Montana: 4-7 Young: 1-6 P Manning: 2-13 Cuz single Ws in the playoffs don't matter. The regular season is for seeding while in the playoffs literally only one game matters at the end. You either get to and win it or you lose the playoffs.

@StevenxTCG I would be so happy because the alternative is getting 0 SIR, which is exactly what happened to me

You open a Phantasmal Flames Booster Box, and your one SIR hit is this. What’s your reaction?

@BigNateTwelve No. They shouldn’t… now… a 2 loss BYU absolutely should even with the head to head

Will BYU fall below Utah this week in the CFP rankings??

@HugS86 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂

I was in an elevator this morning with a business professional. Accidentally hit play on my Spotify app and Freddie Gibbs came on. Worst case scenario. Had like four slurs blast through my speakers in the seconds it took me to control the situation.

@akaNemsko There was actually one game he pulled up the analysis (in a completely winning position) to start explaining before the game was completed, and this is what is being referenced as the “smoking gun.” But again, the context is super important and to call him a cheater is unreal.

For those who have seen the "he cheated" screen shot going around here is the full thread. The context: Danya was doing a educational speed run, authorized by Chesscom where his opponent get a rating refund after games. He had analysis up AFTER a game was complete. Kramnik decided this was enough to blast him for cheating despite knowing all of this. Imagine being so deadest on falsely harassing someone you resort to publicly lying about their educational content. No amount of shame is enough for what this man has done. I'd like to use this as another reminder that FIDE's bylaws directly have a clause for false accusations.

@i_am_alpert @FIDE_chess It’s very possible Magnus was wrong, and Hans beat him fair and square. Say I’m on that side. But his suspicions were founded on Hans’ previous history of cheating, and his association with a coach that also had history of cheating. So NOT the same thing..

@FIDE_chess I hope FIDE applies the same standard of fairness to all. When Magnus accused Hans Niemann, the situation also caused serious emotional harm to a young player. Accountability should not depend on whether someone has passed away. If actions are to be taken against GM Kramnik,

Human life and dignity are fundamental values shared by all of us. While we hold deep respect and love for the game of chess that unites our community, these values must always come first. In recent times, public debate within the chess world has too often moved beyond the boundaries of acceptable, harming not only people’s reputation but their very well-being. When this happens, discussions can turn into harassment, bullying, and personal attacks — a particularly serious concern in today’s environment. The chess community has long respected the achievements of GM Vladimir Kramnik, and his contributions to our sport are undeniable. The same high standards that accompany great achievements, however, also confer a responsibility to uphold the principles of fairness and respect and to be ambassadors for the sport. Therefore, I, along with the FIDE Management Board, will formally refer all relevant public statements made by GM Vladimir Kramnik — both before and after the tragic death of GM Daniel Naroditsky — to the FIDE Ethics and Disciplinary Commission for independent consideration. At the same time, I reaffirm that FIDE will take appropriate action in any case where a lack of respect, public harassment, or bullying is observed within the chess community. We all share responsibility for ensuring that our sport remains a space of integrity, respect, and humanity — values that must always prevail over hostility and division. Arkady Dvorkovich (@advorkovich), FIDE President

@EmilSutovsky Wow. This disgusting. How dare you accuse his loved ones of not being there for him or not doing enough? This man needs to either immediately resign or the powers that be need to force him to step down. What a spineless leader…

Amount of love given to Danya post-mortem is unprecedented. I can't recall anything of the kind. But here is the problem - where all of you were when Danya was alive and unwell? I am not talking now about stepping in when he was accused. Although it is a separate important matter. I know many people find it hard to express their opinion, as the problem is indeed huge, and striking a balance is nearly impossible. One thing is clear : the way Kramnik approaches it, simply can't be accepted. And his reaction on Danya's passing is appalling and outright shameful. FIDE is not a court of justice, but we will act within our jurisdiction. However, let's not oversimplify it. It is too simple to focus on Kramnik and forget everything else. Danya was clearly not at his best in recent months. He stopped appearing as a commentator for one reason or another, he was not his usual self. Now, all those who claim how dear Danya was to their heart, how good a friend they were, where have you been? What did you do? All these Kramnik attacks on Danya happened not this week or month. It was not like a shocking accusation, that killed Danya overnight. It kept haunting him for more than a year, even if there was not much of polemics of recent. So, I ask you, alleged Danya's friends, what did you do to help him for half a year or so? Did many of you write him to ask, whether he is OK? Why he, arguably the best online commentator disappeared from the screens? Did you text him to ask why did he stop streaming? Throughout 15 years I spoke to Danya many times, though we never were friends. He fascinated me long before he became a famous streamer. I met him when he just started being coached by my former trainer, Lev Psakhis. And we spoke rarely but in length many times since. I look at our correspondence from 2014, when he was thinking of a life path. And then later in 2017, and in 2019, and in 2021. Most recent online conversation was in 2024 when I invited him to comment on the Match in Singapore. And the last time I spoke to him in person was during the Grand Swiss in Samarkand, where he seconded a top player, hiding this fact for one reason or another. All the recent years I had a feeling Danya was not a happy person, although he made many people happy. Our last lengthy conversation took place in 2021, when he was already a famous online player and streamer, but still was considering a career of a real professional player. He was very much in doubt whether he is doing the right thing with all the blitz and streaming - he even considered moving to Europe to have more opportunities as a player, "but it is very difficult with all the online success I have". It came at a price. The boy with shining eyes had less and less shining left. And now, he is gone. Way too early. If he looks from above, he might be surprised to read about this or that person allegedly being his friend. Danya was kind to many, but it feels like most of the time he was lonely. Virtue signalling and like-grabbing is the worst way to pay respect to Danya. He was special on so many levels. He will be missed - or rather he is very much missed already. The Danya.
