With the All-Star Game going global, is the NBA Cup next? The NBA is bigger than ever and it is planning to keep growing.

NBA All-Star Sunday now features a World team, underlining the league's embrace of global basketball.

Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum was kind enough to give me his thoughts on this, the NBA's new league in Europe, and a potential expansion of the NBA Cup:

Yeah, fuck him.

Fuck me, that's actually good.

If I'm a team, I don't care about the financial penalty, if it means I get a crack at the Top 2 in the draft, and thus an opportunity to select a budding superstar who will earn me hundreds of millions.

"Oh no, you're fining me $500K? Remind me to fake cry as I rummage through the couch cushions."

"So it wasn't even the 2% of the $261 million deal you secured for your client?"

"I said the jokes, damn it."

(Oh, and I love this for the Knicks, btw.)

"Two-time Rising Stars participant".

God, I need to become an agent solely to see what I can get Shams to tweet.

Players, who have wasted decades bitching to refs, after seeing previous generations of players wasting decades bitching to refs.

And yet, my point stands.

Indifferent is probably the best word.

The NBA: "Oh, so you're calling basketball in February boring? Script writers, assemble!"

The most underrated pickup at the deadline for any team. I stand by what I said last week: He was Chicago's best guard this year, Josh Giddey and Coby White included.

The NBA can't even find a foothold here in terms of complaining about it, because they actually won the game, which is utterly hilarious.

Encouraging couple of games from Kasparas Jakučionis here.

Looking like the player who started the year for Illinois last season, and not like the worrisome prospect we saw in the second half of the year.

Too early to officially say he's turned the tide, but worth keeping an eye on.

What's happened today? Been offline.

Oh, it's Super Bowl night?

Ooooooof.

Vi er så fucking blinde herhjemme, at det gør ondt. Åbenbart er vores egne navler enormt spændende.

The fact that single women are AGGRESSIVELY turning down men who as much as lean towards the right, politically, is extremely exciting.

This will be utterly fascinating to track through a long-term lense, just in how it'll affect future generations.

Unsurprisingly, women may save us all.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

I'm sorry, but you do not waive the player with the coolest fucking name in NBA history. Inexcusable.

The fact that I'm now obligated to attach my socials to my travel visa means I'm 100% being pulled aside, and put into some type of dungeon.

Only makes me even more happy that we managed to connect in 2023, Sir!

If it hadn't been for Captain Orange, I would absolutely have flown in for this.

Tyus Jones replacement. Not bad. Like this for Orlando a fair bit.
