an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

A hardship contract. The fact that this woman Odyssey Sims was on a hardship contract... and is making game typing buckets in game 5 of the WNBA semifinals is insane.

Incredibly brave and powerful statement from Phee. Unheard of, but necessary, stance from the face of a league 🫡
Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.

She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

I think if you're an aspiring NBA fan, you should actively avoid learning anything about math and the salary cap. It will only bring you misery.

JUST IN: Khalil left the Louisiana detention center where he's been since March, when ICE agents arrested him over his pro-Palestinian activism. A federal judge ruled the government could no longer detain him.

Eight players on the Pacers are averaging 10+ points in the NBA Finals.

No team in any NBA postseason series (including best-of-5 and best-of-3) has EVER had 8 players play every game and average double figures. 🤯

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t?

So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??
I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?"

AOC/Bernie: 70%
Moderate Dems: 30%

New York Knicks: 1973
Indiana Pacers: Never
Minnesota Timberwolves: Never

They need to trade copper for an established star on their time line, like Kevin Durant. As we all know, defense wins championships.

Golden State Valkyries could end up saving the Warriors season. That *four-day break* between Games 5 and 6 -- necessitated by the Valkyries' inaugural game taking place the night Game 6 would ordinarily have taken place -- could be a big deal re: Curry's absence.
