If my count is right, if they stopped the games after 46 minutes, the Spurs would have won the series in 5 games.

If you don’t know the full story, please read this amazing deep dive by @TrueHoop
The most remarkable thing about this piece is that it was published on ESPN. Doubt it happens if anyone but Henry is out there at the time, and doubt it happens today.

FBI's plan for corrupt referee Tim Donaghy: "they were going to wire up Donaghy so he could get other allegedly corrupted NBA referees to incriminate themselves." But it never happened, for intriguing reasons. espn.com/nba/story/_/id/2598…

For decades, Worldwide Wes was the most mysterious powerbroker in sports. Then the Knicks hired him to run the front office, and six years later they’re one win from a title.

Epstein-connected people get the most amazing seats at James Dolan's MSG. Trump, Lutnick, and ... can anyone confirm that's Leon Black and his son? gettyimages.com/detail/news-…
If you're wondering who Leon Black is, he funded Epstein: truehoop.com/p/start-here-tr…

The Knicks were terrible when they hired William Wesley. Now they're up 3-1 in the Finals. Here's how those things are related. truehoop.com/p/the-knicks-we…

So great to see this real-life David v Goliath story finally out. Written by one of the heroes who battled against Putin's hijacking of the Russian state, @JamisonFire was almost conditioned from birth for his future role combating Russian mobsters.
RULE OF LIES by @JamisonFire is out now and available for purchase!

I'm not dumping on Philadelphia media. I continue to believe we produce some of the best damned journalists in the country. But the Josh Harris - Jeffrey Epstein story and the way it's been systematically suppressed, that sucks. I wanna see local reporters show some stones here.

It’s no secret I have a personal vendetta against Sixers owner Josh Harris. Am I biased? Damned right I am. But the facts are the facts. And the facts are horrific.

The Knicks can be overwhelming. @coachthorpe picked them to win before the Finals, before Game 2, and still now.
But he has a comprehensive list of ideas about how the Spurs can improve in Game 3. truehoop.com/p/a-dozen-obser…

Knicks wings make it tough for the Spurs to play their three excellent guards at once. Who sits? Two games in, the team's minus-15 with Stephon Castle on the court, but positive with Harper and Fox. Mitch Johnson has to decide if that's random, or a trend. truehoop.com/p/a-dozen-obser…

New from @truehoop...One of the biggest lessons from the NBA's new second-apron era:
Since the NBA tightened spending rules, teams trading for superstar-sized contracts have, on average, gotten worse. The hidden costs aren't just draft picks. It's lost flexibility, fewer opportunities for young players, injury risk, and roster stagnation.

Some NBA team will get Giannis. A deep dive into these huge-contract deals predicts that team will be a lot worse in three or four years. The question is: can they catch a title in the meantime? truehoop.com/p/would-a-super…

Oh dear.
Brandon Clarke died, tragically, on May 11. It hit my business partner @coachthorpe hard. He wrote a story about it. truehoop.com/p/i-am-heartbro…
Now on June 2, I looked something up on the Grizzlies' website, and there's Brandon, somehow STILL listed on the roster.
