i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

As final survivor of the tontine, Bismack stands to receive a game-worn DJ Augustin jersey from NASCAR Racing Night, autographed by Jared Dudley

the guy I always forget in the “last surviving Charlotte Bobcat” conversation. this officially makes Bismack Biyombo the final Bobcat left in the NBA.

The 2000s are so back. Bedazzled NBA champion shirts. Low rise jeans. Yelling “Who let the dogs out”. A new Scary Movie. What more could we want

Can’t stop thinking about that game and the whole WCF as just a generational series for Haters. They will be telling their grandchildren about this time

One step closer to “NBA Champion Bismack Biyombo”

Respect the NBA Cup?!

What a ridiculous game. This is why we do it*, folks *watch the nba western conference finals on television

These are the best emails I get, which is a low bar sure but still it’s true. Subscribe!

Time for the two best words in sports: Bismack Biyombo

carter bryant is simply too young to commit a flagrant foul, he is just 7 months old

I guess I should rephrase this: I think the Zaza rule is poorly constructed, & there should be pretty clear language added to it that nullifies the penalty if jump shooters aren't going straight up & down. The grace the current rule gives to "natural shooting motion" is far too broad

Is it an unpopular opinion yet to say the Zaza rule was a mistake?

Daryl morey deserves to be rehired and subsequently fired again

What an unreal game

Biyombo dominant in a close-out game on the road 😤

I need Bismack Biyombo minutes

Jimmy Goldstein courtside

David Adelman looks like this every time they show him on the sideline. Is that good?

I’ll be honest - I wasn’t really sure if Spencer jones could dunk

The big question for the Nuggets: Can they survive the Non-Nnaji Minutes?

In an alternate universe where nfts never died, I like to imagine we’d be hearing Carmelo Anthony telling us how ape holders can use multiple slurp juices on a single ape at halftime

yeah I've been saying all season that the Nuggets play every game under MARIO KART rubber-banding rules, no matter how big a lead they have, the Blue Shell always comes to get them

Antoine Walker-ass game so far for the nuggets

NBC: excellent, the famously stoic Tim Duncan is here. Let’s cut to him after every Wemby bucket for what’s sure to be an emotional reaction

Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.

We are terrorizing an entire country. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Looks like the best player alive to me

This game is giving me a coronary

You should be allowed, oh I don’t know, maybe 20 challenges when you play the lakers

Our story @chicagotribune.com: Chicago teen Ofelia Torres, whose father was detained by ICE while she fought cancer, dies. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/14/c...

makes me think about this Adam silver announcement from three years ago and how now we all scan ourselves into highlights on the nba app every day www.nba.com/news/adam-si...

The funniest thing about the Nuggets this year is that Michael Malone and Calvin Booth were both right

Moment of silence for @dhm.bsky.social before the Sixers game tonight

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

Every single one of them is risking their lives against death squads to prove that the fascist vision of America, a country where we hate everyone different than ourselves, is a fucking lie

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

Yesterday, after killing Renee Good, armed federal agents went to a high school and tackled people, handcuffed workers, and teargassed bystanders. Schools are now closed district-wide because ICE and border patrol have created such a dangerous environment

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

5 headlines tonight on Charlotte Observer’s homepage: “Manolo's Bakery closes to protect customers” “Church members flee as federal agents arrive” “Super G executive describes agents dragging out teen employee” “Border Patrol questions people at Walmart” “Border Patrol sweep sparks fear”

Lol

Aaron Gordon does like one play a week that makes you go “this is the coolest dude in the league”
