Was really looking forward to showing the kids "NBA The Run"... but a supposed revival of a famous arcade genre only playable with strangers on the internet is exactly the type of loser energy you'd expect from humans lately. Society is not well.

Sad to see NBA The Run is online & multiplayer only. Was really hoping it would kickstart a revival of arcade sports games but I guess Iβll continue to wait.

I am totally cool showing up 2 hours early tonight to MSG to accommodate the security needs of the greatest living American, Jeremy Lin.

oh god. vividly.
i'm 12 years old... emotionally conflicted... game is on, 4th quarter, but i'm in the front yard with some girls from school, who'd stopped by because one of them had a crush.
my dad, completely unsympathetic to my 7th grade aura farming efforts, pokes his head out the front door: "Austin, get in here and help me roll some cigarettes."
girl broke up with me when i beat all her mario kart lap records on n64.
larry johnson is forever.
thanks dad.

The Larry Johnson 4 Point Play extends beyond those in The Garden that night.
Everyone knows where they were during that exact moment.
And the pandemonium that followed!

I don't know who still needs to hear this but Stephon Marbury and Sebastian Telfair's cousin is the No. 5 prospect in baseball.

I will personally finance the development of a Tinder For Freakishly Tall Canadian Athletes if it means the next generation of Shais, RJs and International Villain Dillon Brookses get the frontcourt support they deserve.

Here is the official 23-man Canada Basketball pool for the summer. There are over 50 players committed including Zach Edey, but these are the players up for selection in the upcoming window.

Have been calling my dog "Rip" since we got him three years ago. I almost forgot how we filed his paperwork.

The New York Knicks are four wins away from their first championship in 53 years and the only thing standing in their way is a 9-foot-tall French Shaolin alien.

Wemby's 1/1 Prizm Black card just shattered records in the trading card space as the second-most expensive solo NBA card.
The $5.1 million price tag via private sale exceeds that paid for any solo MJ or Kobe card.

You are underexposed to JuJu Watkins' SLAM debut. The mag was released with no Gold Metal counterpart, making its rare Newsstand version the standard bearer.

Nothing in sports media will ever have as much of a stranglehold on me as this masterpiece did in the early 2000s. In fact, I'm on my PS2 manually adding an entire draft class to NBA Live in my mind right now.

Victor Wembanyama dribbled a basketball up a dangerous mountain route in 4.5 hours (takes a normal person 7-8 hours to walk up it) while training with the monks, per @ramonashelburne
βOne day he told Wembanyama to dribble a basketball up another dangerous mountain route to Sanhuangzhai, a monastery deep in the Song Mountains. The hike traversed cliffside plank paths, suspension bridges and ancient forests, and was five times as long as the one to Bodhidharma Cave. The trail forces you to climb roughly 2,500 feet in elevation across uneven ridges and stone.β

πππͺ ππ , ππππ. The second game-dated SLAM cover is in the books.
This time, it's Wemby, whose Lebron-vs-Detroit-in-2007-esque performance last night shook the solar system.

Time will tell where last night stacks up against the rest of Wemby's legacy, but that's the fun part about collecting sports culture: You get to pick where you plant your flag.
(case in point: the eBay activity of Wemby's past covers in the hours since the game)

As usual, Golds of the new cover were hoovered up in seconds, but for the next 40-odd hours, you can buy a limited run Orange Metal edition to throw in the ol' PC.
If you do, hit me up. I want to know who was locked in The Day The Earth Stood Still.
