28 points from Vinyl in the 4th quarter is an insane stat, considering Rose just needed 11 to close it out.

Last year for the Unrivaled 1-on-1 Tournament, I pulled an all-nighter and built an app for the community so y'all could create your own bracket.

Over the summer I joined Unrivaled and recreated it officially! www.unrivaled.basketball/1-on-1/bracket

Did a bunch of work to launch sign up / sign in functionality to the #unrivaled website. It'll be super helpful for fan voting, and a bunch of new things we have launching soon! ☺️

Proud of the fact I built a roster builder for #Unrivaled!!

You can build you own and share it out with friends which is really cool.

I think this might be the first real rain I've seen since I moved to California last year.

I worked hard and spent all weekend building out hint drops and the graphics on the Unrivaled website! Excited to see all the new subscribers to our newsletter and everyone play the guessing game.

So proud of everything that we're building!

Salaün and Jewell Lloyd got into it a bit earlier in the game, when Lloyd tied up Salaün for a jump when sinking into the lane on Salaün's cut. Then, the pretty clear flagrant two.

After having TSA Precheck for so many years I’m shocked at the liquid restriction of 4 oz in this European airport. The scanners in America seem to be so much better and throwing away my sunscreen I just bought because of an extra 50ml is so dumb. 😡

After the #GSV game last night, Steve Kerr and Natalie Nakase gave a chalk talk. They spoke about their coaching experiences, what they loved about the game, and the culture of the #valkyries. The key takeaway was that Nat hopes to build a culture of joy and selflessness surrounding basketball.

Watching the Mystics home game is like a blast from the 90's because the video quality is always so bad.
