The whole pushback from Kapernick and George Floyd unfortunately tells you the tempeture of a good slice of the country. The denial of science, womens rights, and reactions from school shootings tells you how we judge a society by how it protects its women and children. We are not the worst, but have a lot of work to do in my opinion.
That some can protest not being treated equal and others see it as disrespectful is sad.
I work with a fella who believes Parkland was crisis actors. We get along well too. And he's a Knicks fan to boot.
Every time a MAGA at work asks me to do something socially with them I have an excuse not to partake, because while they may be decent with me personally I will not share my true self with people who (pick 'em, it don't matter which) willingly, blindly, ignorantly support atrocities, the end of all civilian rights and fascist rule.
They literally bake me cookies while mooning over Trump. They're too stupid to reason with so I say thanks for the cookies and carry on.

Ball is still waste. He is playing defense and they holding him to that standard.
Jalen is the creme of the small PG big money players.
Jah, Lamelo, and Trae proved Doris right!
I think the underrated pieces for Hornets are Knueppel (brings tough, hard nosed, 2-way style of play with LEGIT offensive skills) and he may be a leader already in that locker room. Plus the defense/rebounding/rim protection that Diabate are bringing.
These 2 have elevated the Hornets defensively and it seems others are following.
Miller is legit as well and maybe I'm not giving him enough credit above.

The Jordan play also was a travel because he picked up the pivot foot. However, just call it a gather step in 2026 and its legal. This is why I scoff at people who say players are more skilled now. We don't know that for sure because the rules were changed to allow them to do things they could not do in the past. Give MJ these modern day fouls and gather steps and he would average near 45 to 50 even if he don't improve his 3pt shot.
I don't know Jordan's foot pivots but not sure it ever fully moves off his spot but that would NEVER EVER be a travel today.
Today's game is absolute joke, the Giannis travel (
) and anyone catch Maxey the other day.
Knicks had contained him to start the game - then he gets the ball on a pass running top speed towards the right baseline at the 3 point line. Maxey literally takes 4-5 steps as he catches the ball and gets into his shot and of course knocks it down.
Maxey more than any other player is allowed to catch and run before dribbling making him almost un-guardable.

If the Knicks trade for Giannis will the crooked zebras finally start calling his 10-15 travels per game?
