I'm pumped for you! Watching Steph is a perfect little break from this shit show we are all living through.

Court you are out of control and I LOVE it. It is SO good for Warriors basketball to be back. We haven't had a civil disagreement about JK is wayyy too long!

Wemby is like if all the Monstars talents were held by one alien and then multiplied by 2. He does EVERYTHING. #NBASky #SkyHoops

He really might just claim the NBA as his own.

You know, when you describe it like that I'm sure it's happened countless times 😂

I'm trying to make sense of this Wembanyama block tonight.

It is not at all out of the question. His playmaking looks like it's taking a serious leap.

Cam Johnson working in pick and roll with Nikola Jokic here. Notice he goes drive and kick but look at the immediate relocate to the three point line to get a shot.

He was already good. On a Joker team he's going to be a perfect fit.

- Swats the ball at the top of the square easily
- Arm so high he nearly hits is elbow on the rim + he has to grab the rim to brace himself
- Swats the ball so hard off the backboard that it functions like an outlet pass. Leads to a Spurs bucket

He makes plays like this EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. 2/2

I was at this game in 2010. And I was BIG BIG mad 😂😂😂

This man LeBron has given me so much heartbreak as a Bulls/Warriors fan over the years. And I respect the hell out of him for that.

The great ones are gonna serve you L's. That's just part of the game.

Maya is perhaps the greatest Champion in women's basketball history. And it's definitely a case of we'll never know because she stepped away right in the middle of her prime. A'ja career to this point rivals Maya's as a champion. It's a fun thought discussion!

A'ja Wilson's 2025 playoff stats:

- 10 games
- 25.7p |9.7r| 3.2a
- 2.4blk | 2.3stl
- .485/.455/.732 shooting

- 100 made playoff FGs. 2nd place (Jackie Young) has 74
- Leads playoffs in total pts, rebs, blks & stls
- Leads playoffs in PPG, and BPG

Soooo... that's GOAT behavior.

Steph has 14 points.
It only took Draymond 14 minutes of preseason ball to scuffle. LOL. The Warriors are back! 😂😂😂 #DubNation

Steph with the handle.
Jimmy with the fake, the bucket, and the foul.

It's truly astounding. Unlike any other player in the entire game.

It may seem like a small thing, but regularly pursuing the boards like this would change the entire trajectory of Jonathan Kuminga's career.

Daniel Thompson @dr-thompson.bsky.social · 2d

11 points in 6 minutes. Yeah. He's that dude.

There is no quicker release in the game of basketball.
