Thanks to everyone who reached out to say so many kind things after my shift into a new role for @TheAthletic was announced this week. The kindness has been overwhelming. Blessed to work with so many talented people. Look forward to working with even more. nytco.com/press/new-edit…

"Thank you for bringing awareness to how important connection is with the written word and literature is.” My newest @TheAthleticNBA on the 'Read Like Wemby' campaign at San Antonio Central library nytimes.com/athletic/73013… free and unlocked to read:

Thunder’s depth, normally a strength, has questions to answer after Game 4 nytimes.com/athletic/73068… via @NYTimes

NEW story: Blessed by the Salesian Sisters of St. John Bosco, reamed out by coach Pop, the Spurs had to find out exactly who they are last night. From Wemby imposing his will on offense to the game plan adjustment that neutralized the MVP, the Spurs saw them selves in the mirror and loved what they saw. Details on the speech from Pop after Game 3 and how the Spurs tied the series. Read the story below 👇

The Jaxson Dart-Abdul Carter episode was not some cooked-up “narrative.” Instead, it was a peek behind the curtain of how locker rooms are functioning in the Trump era. Because just like the rest of us, an NFL space can be politically divided: nytimes.com/athletic/73056…

A difficult, emotional and major week in motorsports, and it's not done, but what a team at @TheAthletic to cover it all. Thanks to @jeff_gluck, @Jordan_Bianchi, @mwc13_3, @LukeSmithF1, @AndrejevAlex for some truly great work. Check us out: nytimes.com/athletic/motor…

There’s a woman courtside here in San Antonio who brought a mini Oscar trophy to present to SGA whenever he hits the deck. More sights/sounds/analysis on the @TheAthletic live blog here. nytimes.com/athletic/live-…

🚨 Lionel Messi asks for a sub and exits Sunday's game in the second half with apparent injury. Went straight down the tunnel. Argentina's first World Cup game is on June 16. This was Miami's final game before the World Cup break. nytimes.com/athletic/73060…

Farewell to Mohamed Salah. A faintly ridiculous 193 goals and 93 assists in the Premier League. 286 goal involvements in 327 appearances — a record surpassed only by Alan Shearer (324) and Wayne Rooney (311), both of whom made at least 100 more appearances. The only player to have been named PFA Player of the Year three times. One of English football’s greatest imports and Africa’s greatest exports. A phenomenon #LFC nytimes.com/athletic/71449…

Make sure you read this today from @JaredWeissNBA, who has been doing an incredible job of covering Wemby and the Spurs from up close all season.

As a proud native of Orlando, FL there's only one person who comes to mind as I watch Wemby play in the Western Conference finals. The same man who changed the game 30 years ago because of his own unique playing style, impact and personality: Young Shaq. nytimes.com/athletic/72959…

I made a video for @TheAthletic compiling some Kyle Busch reaction here in Indy.

Carolina Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky's pregame routine? An hour-long walk through the tailgate party in the parking lot outside of Lenovo Arena. @mirtle shadowed Tulsky for a deeper look at how he connects with @Canes fans. nytimes.com/athletic/73013…

This is just elite storytelling from one of the rising stars in our business.

This was phenomenal.

In this story: this photo of Jared McCain’s new (and old) copy of The Inner Game of Tennis, which he’s carried religiously since a teenager, as well as nuggets from convos with Sam Presti and everything that’s helped McCain blossom 🌹

Terrific example of being a beat reporter, observe, learn and when the moment comes, deliver. Great story.

This is terrific work by @JoelXLorenzi. One of the most insightful stories I’ve read in a long time especially given the fast turnaround right after a big game.

Who actually belongs in Tier 1? @LawMurrayTheNU breaks down the best of the best in the NBA, including some massive tier climbs from Cade Cunningham and Wemby.
