“In an age that treats vulnerability like weakness, Wembanyama’s boundless passion feels almost radical.”

More tears in basketball Athletes are often mocked for caring too much. Victor Wembanyama reminds us that caring is the entire point.

Victor Wembanyama’s tears inspired me to write about why emotions in sports matter

this was one of the silliest things i’ve ever seen in a professional basketball game

maybe one of my favorite moments of the season

i can’t explain it but i’m pretty sure the clippers just invented a new way to lose

Thank you!!

KD is your favorite poster's favorite poster. This is a great look back at his evolution and the evolution of the internet around him.

"What was once intimate and immediate is now curated and monetized, each mistake spun into a meme that drips with venom. The playground where Kevin Durant first learned to engage has transformed into a courtroom where everybody loses."

thanks for reading/sharing!

thank you so much!

The All-Star Game that actually mattered Basketball with a side of burner accounts

i wrote about the all-star game

every closeup shot of KD at the all-star game just looks like this

format was great, and you have to give props to all of the guys for showing up and playing hard. never seen an all-star game like this in history. not a single gimmicky play or wasted possession, just the best players in the world competing. really cool stuff

team stars to team stripes:

planting a tree tomorrow in kawhi’s honor

I DARE ANYONE TO SAY THIS ALL-STAR GAME ISN’T ELECTRIC

cannot be overstated how good wemby is for the league. he was visibly angry after losing in the all-star game like it was a real game. ant even admitted he set the tone. this is what it’s all about! caring is cool!!!!

this all-star game has been awesome. having the guys play for their country (aka pride) was inevitably gonna get them to go hard. really great stuff
