I don't know. I still haven't seen Georges Niang photoshopped into a Celtics uniform. I am very worried about Bluesky and the NBA.
Another very big indicator night when it comes to sports on Bluesky.
The NBA Draft is traditionally social media cocaine. I'll be curious to see what kind of traction it gets here.

On what planet is the future location of the most boring annual “event” in U.S. professional sports of even mild importance? It doesn’t even generate tourist dollars.
And this collection of clowns?
No wonder I stopped watching the NFL when I stopped getting paid to watch it.

I hate when someone says "forecasted" instead of "forecast."
Yes, I know it's not grammatically incorrect.
But it sounds dumb.

Such sad news. John was a fantastic, insightful writer who wrote one of the most important sports books of the last 50 years in Season on the Brink.
But more than that, he was such a warm, welcoming, positive guy. And people gravitated toward him in every room he entered.
RIP my friend

Equally entertaining was when he popped up in the middle of the Clippers' huddle at one point.
Luka rubs his sweaty head all over the ball between James Harden’s free throws
Psychological free throw warfare has been pretty weird this season

Luka Dončić's Dallas detractors predict his basketball demise, highlighting a health history that, as some see it, will likely lead to catastrophe in the next five years or so.
Tuesday, he fired back, writes @samamick.bsky.social.

I continue to think that the second-most impactful transaction of the season, after that little LA trade, was Hartenstein.

The Mavericks never intended to offer Luka Dončić a five-yea, $345 million contract, sources tell The Athletic.
And the way Dončić was traded was no accident.

After watching the Rising Stars games and getting the concept, I think it has potential. Especially that Rising-OG game. No way it won't be played hard.
I’m setting myself up to get hurt tomorrow night but I really think the new NBA All-Star format might be fun.
The NBA all-star weekend just isnt the same anymore.
The only thing I care to watch is the 3-point contest
