Looks like Harry Potter snuck into a council of Dementors
A college student asked @willspencer, "Is there a place in your framework for faithful young Christian men who aren't a part of the manosphere pipeline that you described, who believe that Jews and Jewish influence are a major threat to Christian and American civilization, in the same way that we would say that Muslims and Muslim influence are a major threat?" You'll never guess how "Christian" Nationalists and the president of @AmReformer reacted. h/t @elimcgowan

Good positional size. Good rebounder for his position. Tools to be a good defender. Hard-nosed. Tough. But a mess offensively. OKC has given him one more season to become an NBA player. What I remember about the Barn Animal is the game-winner he hit in Nikola Topic’s first G-League back from his cancer diagnosis. We are Brooks Barnhizer days from the Thunder playing their first game.

To give some visuals to what Izzy is describing, here are two scatterplots. The first compares pull up three volume & percentage, the second catch & shoot. Broadly speaking, no shooter as good as Ant took so few shots off the catch. LaMelo has the potential to change that.
Melo x Ant is about to be one of the most fun pairings to watch, for many reasons. The memes they will create as a dynamic duo is certainly one, but all jokes aside, we NEED to dive into how they will work together. I break it down ⬇️ #anthonyedwards #lameloball #timberwolves

Conservative churches have actually been mastering intersectional politics for a century
You could put a thousand conservatives at a thousand typewriters to concoct a right wing psyop and they would lack the imagination to even conjure anything like this

Uncle Dennis would've got more
Just in: Toronto Raptors All-NBA star Kawhi Leonard has agreed on a two-year, $115 million contract extension with the franchise, plus a player option for the 2028-29 season, his agent Harrison Gaines of SLASH Sports tells ESPN.

Nikola Jokic does okay
People don't understand that the question about Shaq in today's game isn't about offense. It's defense. How is he doing guarding 80 pick and rolls a game? Is he getting out to shooters at the 3 point line? Could he score enough to outweigh how exploitable he'd be on defense?

Should land somewhere below 4/$110 or 5/$135
$31m annually now also for Ausar. Really curious where Cason lands.

Gerald Green hated being known for his dunking
Gerald Green did a freaking windmill alley oop. Like what. This dunk will never get the love it deserves.

This is a great argument for reparations for slavery, but I'm not sure how many "Heritage Americans" want to go there.
The Heritage American debate isn’t just about severing your connection to the American past. The more sinister idea is that what you do today carries no inheritance forward. Serve your country. Build something. Sacrifice. Endure. Die for it. Then be told your descendants have no special claim to your story, no right to take pride in your sacrifice, no deeper connection because of what you gave. Once you convince a people that inheritance, lineage, and posterity mean nothing, you’ve weakened one of the oldest reasons men sacrifice for a future they’ll never live to see. That is fertile ground for any system that wants loyalty transferred from family and inheritance to the state.

JJ Barea shut down LeBron and helped Dirk win the chip. He's the one.
People keep saying 2011 but the Mavs already swept Kobe and packed up KD, who are you swapping that can guard MVP D Rose and beats Dallas?

On court beef > record books beef
The Seattle SuperSonics may return for the 2028-2029 season. Will be great to see for Sonics fans. Sonics will take back all their history, records, etc. Which is good for both fanbases. Always odd to see SGA/Westbrook/KD alongside Payton/Kemp/Wilkens. OKC and Seattle will become instant rivals, of course.

Nah they thought it was solved with Moreyball but strategy is getting more diverse, not less
Basketball is basically solved from a mathematical standpoint and a lot of people don't like there's a meta or game theory optimal way to play. One suggestion I've seen to reintroduce more variance in gameplay is to let teams make their own 3 point lines like how MLB ballparks have their own home run lines.
