Grabbing the board, initiating the fast break, and filling the lane.
Every now and then you get called into service as a wingman and you put in a Scottie Pippen in his prime performance. Tonight was one of those nights.
Late plates
Kurosawa and Mifune had that shit on
Rolling deep into another minority community to harass and abduct people.
Belichick getting Spoelstra juice.
I think a lot of you think we’re like Ewoks or something and that’s racist too.
can we take a second and acknowledge how hilarious it is that everyone is trying to catch the first month of deion sanders at colorado lightning in a bottle, only with bill belichick
“"Can we talk about Fabuloso? If I walk into your restaurant and am hit in the nose with the smell of Fabuloso cleaning solution, I am turning around and walking out," Bryan-Wilson wrote.”
“Darcy Bryan-Wilson vented on the Houston Foodie Friends Facebook group Sunday evening about smelling Fabuloso at an unidentified Houston restaurant.” *stares directly at the country*
The guy who got famous for his polling and analytic analysis…
“They’re used to it” is a wild answer to be honest.
Please talk to some Black people before dismissing the psychological impact of having Feds running around the neighborhood hemming people up en masse.
People will denounce this and then turn around and complain people aren’t grateful enough towards the people who helped enable it.
If only the sainted Democrats knew the wickedness of their consultants!
My immediate reaction:
If only she could understand the outdoors are made for cars, trucks, and/or vans.
Siete have these cookies called “Mexican Wedding”
And it was especially egregious to kids born and raised in Chicago 💀 even today I might get on yo ass bout Jordan 😭 I know dat nigga a Republican idgaf!
I was older than that and didn't have any firm basketball commitments other than a vague attachment for the Nique-era Hawks. I watched the Bulls, I didn't want them to lose, but I can't say I "rooted" for them. It would've been like rooting for the ocean--sort of irrelevant. I just wanted to see it!
Y’all can be liars too, gone brush your shoulders off.
(or she, or they)
i was older than those kids and he beat magic and the lakers in the finals and i hated jordan with the fire of a thousand suns. bona fide jordan hater here. i have a folder called michael jordan insults that i made in high school. i was recording my hateration for posterity.
I was a huge Jordan fan—but when he came to US Air—I cheered for the Bullets to win (they did). It was a part of the entertainment, watching your team beat the best.
Right, like she suggested people go for a walk. She didnt say that my autoimmune disorder was my fault and also doesnt exist like MAHA bullies.
Dr. Sebi could never.
I think they’re lying. I think they want people to believe this for some weird reason.
The guy is melting into a bag of human soup.
She sang "Turnip, for what?" with a turnip in her hand. She is, clearly, Just Like RFK Jr.
Walking in Granny house LOUD for the Bbq
They have to be on real gas, real Cookies.
I’m dying. Michelle Obama tried to do something nice and cute for the kids helping them stay healthy and she’s being put into comparison with a guy who believes people can target diseases by race and wants to ban life saving medicines!
I am a born and bred New Yorker and I remember going to Knicks-bulls games at msg with my dad and getting dirty looks from grown ass men because I was like 8 and rooting for Jordan.
Didn't even ask--encouraged, and led by example.
She didn't even ask them she just provided them with the opportunity
For some segment of America, “freedom” means not having to listen to a Black woman, especially if she’s right
Michelle Obama never said you wouldn’t be shit, all she did was ask you to drink more water.
I don’t know
Michelle Obama asked people to eat vegetables and take walks and she hasn’t been forgiven since. It’s wild.
Vanilla Ice has gotta be feeling some kinda way right now. 😒
lol they actually did it
I’d say that’s where the context is different cause it just took players longer to get going and contribute to winning and the surrounding roster was not good. I think Kidd’s first Dallas stint is a good comparison point and we can see where he was able to get to
I lowkey can’t even watch the Lakers and Packers play anymore. This is what my teams are doing to me.
Jerry Jones is so old, he was there to witness desegregation. That’s not a joke that’s a fact he was there we have pictures. How are you trying to use your slick tongue to get a deal done with your best player at this point in time?
We lost Micah Parsons because Jerry Jones tried to pull a fast one. Think about that. The best player you’ve drafted in decades.
Part of my mind is occupied by some guy in his 80s downing Johnnie Walker Blue and trying to trick players into signing fluky contracts. I need help.
Yeah I’ve been rooting for the Cowboys all my life because I remember how good it felt when we were good. Has it made me happier since, no. Will I stop, no, probably not. But this isn’t an ideal state for anyone.
Seated
Also you can still buy Grant Hill sneakers from Fila
Traditionally as an athlete, if you could get onto the Wheaties box, pr the Nike ad, that check was yours. Now suddenly, since social media, “the team” needs to monetize the individual athletes?!
Played both sides while being able to handle pass and score before the injury and was lined up to replace Jordan as a pitchman.
And for as much capitalist ruthlessness Jerry Jones has in his body, the Cowboys were and are built by stars. It’s on the helmet which somehow the ownership has forgotten in their delirium.
You owned a team in Dallas, you saw how the money moves!
*clyde frazier
It’s just so silly. Go before the Bulls: Larry and Magic didn’t save the NBA by making more people in Atlanta hawks fans.
Good joke but I’d also like to take this opportunity to talk about Grant Hill as proto-LeBron
Clyde Drexler sold sneakers for Puma. They still sell Clyde’s.
Growing up I was a lakers fan! Cheered for MAGIC, Kareem, AND Larry Bird! Mark Cuban doesn’t know what he’s talking about!
I can’t speak to the international context as much but I’m pretty sure stars attracts fans overseas as well.
Like Joe Namath and Roger Staubach before them
Born in 90, been a Laker fan my whole life and even EYE rooted for Jordan until he went to the Wizards. If the Lakers and the Bulls played I won either way lol
You’d think it’s the only league in the world that depends on stars, and is constantly evolving and changing.
We’re still talking about Babe Ruth. What are we doing? I hate the conversation around the NBA.
Boxing is the model for professional sports in the US and it’s always been star driven.
Him, Wayne Gretzky, and Joe Montana had their own cartoon.
Almost every kid born in the late 80s who tells you he didn’t root for Jordan and the Bulls is a liar.
This is honestly a perfect demonstration of the way cynicism and savvy work to protect power. We’re blaming nameless faceless “consultants” while the people who decided to run and are putting their name on their acts skate by as if they don’t have agency of their own.
In a lot of ways consultants and pollsters as a concept get to eat a lot of the sins for decisions made by people who are much more visible and actually tasked with representing the people they asked to vote for them.
I think if we got them in a room with a bunch of whiskey they’d be saying the same things because they believe them. Regardless of polling or donors. These are their sincerely held beliefs. Politico isn’t tricking them into sharing it. They really mean it.
A big load bearing argument has been that the leadership of the Democratic Party is merely mistaken and we have to consider the idea they actually just agree with the Republicans on some things that are key differences with their base of voters.
This is the best case scenario there’s also the possibility he agrees with their arguments against Covid mitigation and opposition to the Floyd protests and so he sees part of his role as joining those movements in characterizing them as he has.
It’s like Stone Cold vs The Rock, we’re all winners.
Love a good two faces match.
Some of this is a lack of belief in collective action outside of consumer decisions. Some of it is a deliberate effort to derail any conversation that could seriously challenge the institutions they hold dear. Either way it’s buncombe.
This is also how you get the whole “stop saying Latinx” discourse. Their scolding is just given the backing of the institutions they’re not challenging.
So we’re endlessly subject to conversation about how this and that person is doing it wrong while Elon collects tax money and the government long ago abandoned any serious commitment to covid mitigation.
They’ve been pretty openly abandoning the people they’re supposed to represent and it’s really been papered over by a social media culture much more interested in identifying what people “should” be doing calling out individual bad actors than holding actual power to account.
This is the thinking at the highest levels of the party and has been for decades now.
These are the Senators(!) who are supposedly fighting on your behalf.
“I'm completely at one with them on that."”
Never forget 😂 #WNBA
Sometimes I get good shots.
They keep giving this man public money and stopping that should take higher priority than pushing people towards one platform or another.
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
Dead or alive, Rudy Giuliani brought “broken windows” policing to NYC. “Not only did broken windows policing fail to reduce crime, but it also provided cover for a deliberate targeting of Black and brown communities.” Why? The theory comes from rightwing think tankers
Yeah that’s wack too.
Meek Mill started his beef with Drake because he thought he didn’t write his raps.
Rappers would have their whole careers ended for stealing lines or biting someone’s style once upon a time.

Normally I gatekeep these spots
My thing is if I tell you a spot is the spot. It’s the spot. I’m trying to put you on game.
A Labor Day reminder: today there isn't a single city, metro area, or state in the U.S. where a full-time minimum-wage worker can afford a modest 2-bedroom apartment. Millions of people with jobs—even multiple jobs—aren't safe from homelessness in this country.
Musk now supporting the deportation of anyone who isn’t white. *Do not* use the term “remigration”. It’s an attempt to normalise Nazi hate.
Broke out the big horse polo for the Labor Day Funset, a time was had
And they’ll chalk it up to “internet humor”
I peep it all
