    OK that dunk was awesome but Danny Green and JaVale McGee's handshake is better.

    Retweet if you grew up in Utah and never heard a word about Juneteenth at any level of school.

    I have camped on this campus for football tickets on multiple occasions. One year we spent like 36 hours there. Everyone got wasted. The whole south side of Rice-Eccles was full of trash and debris. I watched multiple drunk fights with my own eyes. Funny, no cops showed up.
    HAPPENING NOW: Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have been at the University of Utah for several hours. Police say they support the right to protest, but camping on campus is illegal. Our crew is standing by for any developments. Details/updates: fox13now.com/news/local-new…

    You're literally just taking a statement that's obviously true (institutional discrimination impacts many parts of America), turning it into something absolutely no one ever said "this discrimination is at fault for *ALL* disparity" and using scare words like "mob" and "radical"

    Shouts to @rudygobert27 for so many things. For believing in himself and going from the G-League to 3x DPOY. For never asking out or saying a single bad word about Utah. For being awesome with media and treating small-time dudes like me as if we matter. There's way more.

    …what are you talking about, man? There’s absolutely nothing offensive about stating a fact. Antisemitic incidents have seen a massive rise, and it’s directly connected to Zionist propaganda that equates Israel with all Jews. These are simple facts. This tweet is a yikes.

    You might know it as "walking the dog." I traced its 70-year history, from 60s legends to Chris Paul, and dug deep into how a new generation - led by @JaMorant - has found its most cutthroat purpose yet. The history of walking the dog, for @espn:

    An average game report contains about 500-550 graded plays, per reporting I've done. I'll let folks use whichever adjectives they prefer to describe a gap of 9 errors from that sort of sample.
    An interesting dynamic approaching Celtics-Sixers Game 7, per sources: NBA’s officiating game report shared with teams from Game 6 revealed a significant disparity: 13 officiating errors disadvantaging 76ers to four disadvantaging Boston. Those can include calls and non calls.

    It's not enough for Americans to be stupid. We have to be stupid AND brazenly impact others with our stupidity as often as possible. It's our national identity.
