The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

Jalen Williams was asked if he’s able to reflect on winning the title. “I just had my first drink so I’m still working on that,” he responded. Said that God has been good to him and he thought about that, “but then I had alcohol.”

My favorite Thunder photo of Game 7. Got JDub, Caruso and Shai all in a line.

I’m blessed to get to go to every playoff game. As crazy of an atmosphere I can remember (maybe recency bias as I was at the Finals long ago)! Love the Thunder. #okcthunder #thunderup

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "I'm not vouching for the man. I'm vouching for the man's rights. His constitutional rights to due process."

Wow…

I find it fascinating that the two individuals armed by the voting public to supposedly represent moral values & Christian truth are known womanizers and/or are being alleged to not provide and be there for their own children. Oh how easily we are led astray sometimes by wolves in sheep’s clothing!

Doing great 👍

Stating the obvious: tariffs are a regressive tax on the poorest Americans.

A company pays the tariff, and raises their prices to get that money. That price is paid by the consumer.

Duh

This doesn’t get done without ownerships’ approval. No GM has this power except maybe Presti?

Stunning.

Here is a crazy take. I don’t know how this makes the Lakers better this year. He and LeBron duplicative and Luka was incredible when surrounded by shooters.

Dallas on the other hand…Kyrie with a big like Davis with probably a trade or two to come is very interesting.

Just texting with my dad and friends. It’s the most out of nowhere stunning trade I can recall even considering I followed ball before the internet. Luka had to demand a trade.

Most stunning trade I can recall. Luka had to demand a trade. Nothing else makes sense.

In the West. Kyrie over Harden. Sabonis should be over Sengun but you can’t leave players off the 2nd best team off. In East, Tre and Maxey over Herro or Garland!

Soon LeBron, KD, Harden, Curry will retire. Be fun to see a new batch - Chet- make the Allstar team.

Just awful officiating in the Mavericks and Thunder game. The call against door was off and then they allow PJ Washington to stand over a player on the floor. Just a joke. James Williams has been particularly bad.

Almost halfway through the season. This is how I see the West shaking out.

1. OKC
2. Memphis
3. Nuggets
4. Rockets (part of me is still not a believer)
5. Timberwolves (I’m tempted at 4)
6. Mavs (only b/c injuries)
7. Clippers
8. Kings
9. Lakers
10.Warriors

You know what’s crazy. $100 million represents approximately 0.0235% of Musk’s $426 billion net worth. Or for someone with a net worth of $1 million that would be $235.

Corporate welfare!

Most 1st- and 2nd-round draft picks until 2031:

If this is quid pro quo exchange and you’re in NYC, I accept cheesecake from Ferrara Bakery in Little Italy. In all seriousness in today’s age (man that sounds old) we need to celebrate good journalism and writing. Keep it up.

People talk about NBA coverage etc and I think one thing that has been missing in the internet age is story telling like this. Great writing and love the metaphor

Chet and Caruso will be back. Issues solved.

Trae Young Stuns Jazz With Halfcourt Shot As Time Expired It looked like Collin Sexton was going to force overtime with a deep three late in Hawks-Jazz. Trae Young had other ideas.

ICE COLD TRAE. ❄️

This is upsetting. We all witnessed what occurred on that day. The crimes that were committed. It’s a tragedy that this man is will try to erase the truth from the history books. Just simply sad! We are witnessing an attempt at oligarchical totalitarianism!

OKC Thunder: NBA’s best-kept secret. Weekly national broadcasts needed ASAP. Unmatched teamwork, electric energy, and thrilling style make them the most entertaining 2 hours in sports. NBA, take note – this is must-see TV!

27 2nd-half points is unbelievable. Boston obviously had a bad shooting night (worst of the season), but OKC still had to take advantage of the opportunity and good lord they did.

The last 48 hours of Thunder basketball is like taking a weekend to watch The Godfather and The Godfather Part II

Shai’s impact at 6′ 6″ on both ends of the court is eerily similar to both Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

There, I finally said it! #thunder

Scott Foster misses the call then gives a technical for Lu pointing out that he missed the call. Scott Foster going to Scott Foster during the game.
