Would NC State rather beat UNC with Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar out there? Yes
Would NC State rather beat UNC without the Tar Heels stars rather than lose to a fully healthy North Carolina team?

Neither side is going to get everything they want.
What the fans want is these pros back on the court in time for the start of the next season.
It would be an incredible fumble for both sides if that doesn’t happen.
They may never get this sort of momentum again.

If Victor Wembanyama is healthy, it’s his league.
There is no debate about who the next face of the NBA is, because it'll absolutely be Victor Wembanyama and you're either cool with that or you want it to be someone else because you have very weird hangups about foreigners that you're trying to dance around.

Cuban: NBA should 'embrace tanking' to improve fan experience
Mark Cuban, the former majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks, says the fan experience is chief among the reasons the NBA should "embrace tanking," and that affordability is key in the formula.

I was 13 years in North Carolina’s club state tourney.
We were tied late. I took a corner kick and a kid in the box caught the ball with his right hand, brought it down and trapped it against his leg. No call. Game over.
I attacked the ref. My dad had to drag me off of him.
I completely lost it.

This is beyond relatable
I rolled a bowling bowl across a parking lot and into the woods. I drove home in my bowling shoes. I haven't picked a ball up since. Almost 24 years.

Do you... know what Republicans are doing to trans people? What?
I absolutely refuse to vote for Gavin Newsom if he’s the nominee in 2028. Shame me all you want, but it just isn’t happening. He won’t protect my trans daughter any better than whoever his Republican counterpart is.
you have to vote for the democrat in november 2028.
any other option - voting republican, not voting, voting third party - is completely and totally morally unacceptable and should result in your expulsion from polite society

There’s SO much I can delve into here that is not well understood on social media, but to the main point, yeah, Draymond was a choice.
It's worth remembering that last year, part of TNT's ASG coverage included elevating Draymond as a studio analyst and Green said, during the actual ASG telecast, that the new format "sucks" and that he'd rate the game a 0/10. Like it's unbelievable how poisonous NBA coverage had been until recently.

Then, that competitive play just… disappeared.
