It felt like 75% of that quarter involved Jalen Brunson dribbling.

25.02.2026 02:32 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This game reminds me of the Spurs-Thunder Christmas game. Wemby owned the rim on defense, while the Spurs guards went right at the physical Thunder defenders over and over.

Vital reporting by @jaredweissnba.bsky.social on why All-Star Weekend tickets are so expensive. Even in today's age of absurd ticket prices, this floored me. www.nytimes.com/athletic/704...

That dunk contest was fine. Usually, it's fine. Sometimes, it's really good, but usually it's fine. And that's fine www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Let's just say that I would not be the guy to trade for Trae Young and Anthony Davis because their value has crept so low.
Doesn't mean I'm right or anything, but I have never been a fan of those sorts of "sure, it costs nothing" moves. There is always an opportunity cost.
In this case I'd say forget Bluesky too but that felt rude

What's it like for Victor Wembanyama to:
-Present a PowerPoint to you
-Watch film of your performance
-FaceTime you and your infant son
-Pull up to your practice, then stay for two hours
@jaredweissnba.bsky.social on the Jackals, the community that Wemby built.

Very excited for tomorrow's @jaredweissnba.bsky.social feature to come out on @theathletic.com. He's been working on this one for a long time.

What’s it like to eat at arguably Berlin’s finest restaurant, with the Orlando Magic, while the Pinot flows (at my table) and a soft, heavy snow blankets the streets outside?

Wemby vs. Chet is the most intense, bitter, hilarious individual grudge match that one guy refuses to acknowledge and the other guy did nothing to provoke. It’s amazing.

That Wemby leg kick that went viral earlier this week?
@jaredweissnba.bsky.social did some digging. Turns out it was far from a spur of the moment thing (pun intended). He actually trained for it with a master.

We were always planning to release this @justesbaraheni.bsky.social video today. Chose the topic a couple weeks ago when it appeared Trae's days in ATL might be numbered by the trade deadline. Then, Es and our crew did all the work.
Then, we got lucky
Anyway, enjoy

A late-night discussion with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who tells me he’ll never ask for a trade out of Milwaukee.
“It’s…not…in…my…nature, ok?” the Bucks big man said.

The potential downside comes in that gray area between "work out" and "doesn't work out."

Dubious about Trae. Feels like chasing a sugar high when the idea was to be patient and build organically. Timing feels off considering the strides the young guys have made recently.
Might work. Understand the distressed asset side of this. But those moves are often the most dangerous ones to make
