One key theory of @pablofindsout is that sports are an unparalleled vehicle of class consciousness.
Thank you to @stavvybaby for letting me sit in his fancy new chair and explaining why: piped.video/rOHHwPCYmTM?si=ntX8…

Oh, lookey here. Henry is a facts based savant bringing receipts.

My TrueHoop partner @coachthorpe was a pioneer of private coaches for elite basketball players, and now works with all kinds of elite NBA players. Does having a private coach ... screw up teamwork? truehoop.com/p/coaching-winn…

Shane Hennen intends to enter a global guilty plea for his cases in the Eastern District of New York and the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the US Attorney for Eastern District of New York told a federal judge last week. Hennen was indicted for his alleged role in the NBA insider gambling case and the college basketball point-shaving scheme. His charges will be consolidated and moved to PA's Eastern District.

NEW: Robert Kraft pressuring Ed Sheeran to remove Macklemore hits differently once you know Jeffrey Epstein helped connect Kraft with Epstein’s own former lawyer during Kraft’s 2019 prostitution case.
The lawyer updated Epstein on Kraft’s defense and thanked him for his help. Epstein then warned of a “past issue with Kraft that may come to light.”
Now Kraft wants to decide whose speech is unacceptable? Spare us.

MBS was not in line to take the throne. But ... forces coalesced to make it so. Around that time Jared Kushner visited. There was a photo of MBS and Epstein cracking up. A journalist asked Epstein if his Saudi friends survived the purge and he said "All. With gods help ;)"
Blockbuster story here from Dexter Filkins at @NewYorker who says Jared Kushner signed off on MBS's intra-Saudi coup

"Steve Ballmer was fundamentally uninterested in settling."
"The NBA was looking forward to settling."
@PabloTorre and @TrueHoop on the NBA's refutation of ESPN's story and how the biggest punishment in the history of the league came to be.

There’s a lot of NBA fans who may struggle to afford basic needs, let alone tickets. From the aspiration stuff to an agent saying “athletes have the toughest job in the world,” and now the game’s biggest star stanning for polymarket — it’s been a tone deaf offseason.
