Got the job done in Game 2 🤝 Recap last night's win with @royceyoung's 3 Things 🎤

@Aly_KS It’s truly one of the greatest quotes ever

Every time I watch a fun game I come online to see what people are saying and all I can think about is this

@At_lives_here You sound like a person whose algorithm is tuned to show you a lot of clips from a certain team

@royceyoung You sound like a supporter of a team that can look very bad on short clips....

It’s crazy what NBA postgame coverage has become. It used to be about game stories and interesting storylines and columns and analysis and coach and player quotes. Now online postgame coverage is mostly deliberately misleading clips to bait engagement.

@ramonashelburne 😞

@royceyoung Remember when we’d jockey for the walkoff with the star of the night, hoping for a killer quote or anecdote? Now people are rushing out of the lockeroom to post videos and quotes from the scrum first for the engagement.

SGA on his on-court interview postgame about Isaiah Hartenstein: "I didn't really hear. Then when I realized what she said, I gave her the right answer."

Isaiah Hartenstein: Certified badass.

I just cannot accurately communicate the level of intensity happening on the court.

I mean, this is just the absolute highest of levels of basketball you’re ever gonna find.

@GfedGoCrazy He is

The way Nick Collison’s retired jersey stands alone at the Paycom Center cracks me up. It’s more prominently positioned than the championship You’d think he’s the greatest player of all time looking at this

Well, this is living up to the hype. 😰

i just want to point out the coverage the spurs running rn was illegal jordan whole career

Your 2025-26 @Kia NBA Most Valuable Player: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 👏 #SGA2MVP | #KiaMVP

The MVP conversation often gets focused in at on/off numbers and counting stats and hypotheticals. Just know SGA is everything you could ever want in a best player. Hard to quantify his holistic impact on the Thunder, but just saying he’s the MVP is a pretty good way to do it.

@SteveThunderfan @BoomtownHoops Now this, I can agree with. How much value is this to the league and why do we “need” this to be broken as news.

@royceyoung @BoomtownHoops I blame Shams too but Shams is just a metonymy for, like, the way media/reporting/the world is lol

Awesome news but mannnnnnnnn, Shams is the worst.

@Thunderfan96 @BoomtownHoops This is a fair criticism. As a league partner, it’s not a good thing to do.

@royceyoung @BoomtownHoops If the announcement was on ESPN tonight instead of Amazon does he tweet it still?

@AngrySamPresti If that’s your reasoning, do they need to know anything at all? What’s the benefit to trade news?

I’m going to have to disagree, the idea of job and responsibilities of sports journalists is getting real twisted. There is no greater good for this, people don’t need and have to know this before the announcement, so yes I absolutely blame Shams. He sent the tweet for his brand

@BoomtownHoops He’s a newsbreaker. He breaks news. He was told news — pretty big news — so he broke it.

@royceyoung Why does spoiling awards have to be a part of the job? It makes the announcement tonight not as fun.
