Unfortunately I’m petty and idc. WHAT. NOW!!! Where will the goal post move now?

Cannot believe what Jalen Brunson did. Cannot believe what the Knicks did. Best feeling in the world. Let’s go Knicks!

Absolute chills

“The Tip” will go down as the best play in Knicks history #knicks @KnickFilmSkool #nbafinals #oganunoby

JUST IN: The Knicks vs. Spurs NBA Finals Game 3 was the most-watched Finals Game 3 in 28 (!!!) years. 🔥🔥🔥 Peaked with 26.3 Million viewers. 🤯 (via @NBAPR)

The Knicks are by far the best team in the NBA. On the road, Spurs getting every call, took San Antonio’s best shot and won anyway.

Young Kobe is underrated

Yeah I’d get fired for this. Yikes!

I have no skin in this game but Knicks fans are unquestionably the best in the NBA. They are wild at home and they go en masse EVERYWHERE. They are probably already booking hotel rooms in Detroit and Cleveland.

Please retire.

lol the comments. I can only imagine the teams that regret not being aggressive in trying to get him. They should be sure not to make the same mistake when Ajay Mitchell becomes available in OKC. He’s an opportunity away. Not Brunson level but a great player.

Hits Josh Hart in the face, swings his arm and hits Mitch after the flop. What is he even doing?

Probably my favorite moment as a baseball fan when I was a child.

The Knicks HUNTED Embiid in the P&R last night. Embiid was the screener defender during 27 on-ball picks, with the Knicks getting 1.62 points per direct action. That's the 5th-worst mark of Embiid's career in a game where he defended at least 25 on-ball picks

Everybody is better than Jalen Brunson til it’s time to be better than Jalen Brunson… LFG @nyknicks!!!

Poor Americans who attend church regularly are happier than rich Americans who never go. Behavioral scientist William von Hippel thought he'd made a coding error. He hadn't. "Regularly attending services has a bigger impact on your happiness than wealth," he writes. "Money buys a fair bit of happiness but connection gives you more bang for the buck." What's happening? Rich people already have most of what money buys. What they lack is what churches provide for free: weekly, repeated contact with people who know your name. Von Hippel is direct about the cost: "I suspect that wealthy, educated urbanites are paying a steeper price for their lifestyle than they realize. Many of us have paid too great a price in connection for our increased autonomy."

lol

All of NBA Twitter logging on to celebrate the Celtics getting eliminated from the playoffs.

"If I told you there was one free thing you could do every Sunday that would make your kids happier, healthier, smarter, and closer to you, you'd think I was selling something." Take your kids to church regularly. I don't care if you believe. The data is so lopsided that skipping it is the parenting equivalent of refusing vegetables because you don't like the taste. Grades. Religious teens get As at almost twice the rate of nonreligious teens. In a class of 100, that's 24 A-students instead of 14. Church gives a kid the same academic boost as being born rich instead of poor. College. Working-class religious kids earn bachelor's degrees at double the rate of their nonreligious peers. Middle-class kids do it at 1.5x the rate. For families without a trust fund, this is one of the most powerful forms of upward mobility social scientists have measured. Character. Religious teens are far less likely to lie, cheat, or do things they hope their parents never find out about. They're more likely to care about racial equality, the elderly, and the poor. They reject the idea that morality is whatever works for you in the moment. That kind of kid doesn't happen by accident. It's built. Closeness. 60% of parents of religious teens say they feel "extremely close" to their kid, compared to 50% of nonreligious parents. The kids report the same thing back. They get along better with their parents, talk about hard stuff, and actually want to spend time with their family. Despair. Religious teens are dramatically less likely to be depressed, anxious, lonely, or feel that life is meaningless. 90% of devoted religious teens never binge drink, compared to 41% of the disengaged. Economists named the modern epidemic "deaths of despair." Regular church attendance is one of the strongest known buffers against it. Parents are spending fortunes trying to solve teen mental health. The most evidence-backed intervention is free. Purpose. Religious young adults report higher purpose, gratitude, life satisfaction, and resilience. These are the exact traits every parent says they want their kid to have. Here's why it works. Affluent families already surround their kids with networks of stable, accomplished adults through neighborhoods, schools, and parents' colleagues. Working and middle-class families usually don't. A congregation is often the last institution in American life that puts your kid in weekly contact with dozens of stable, employed, sober adults who know their name. It used to be called "a village." Now it barely exists outside of churches. "But I don't believe." Your kid doesn't need your theology. They need you to show up. "But church is boring." So is sitting through a kindergarten music recital. Parenting is the deliberate choice to be bored on purpose for someone you love. There's a church within 15 minutes of nearly every American home. You don't need money, connections, or credentials to walk in. Nothing else in this country will surround your kid with engaged adults, teach them moral seriousness, and give them a stable weekly rhythm at zero cost. You already drive them to practices that produce far less. The free thing on Sunday produces more, on more dimensions, than almost anything else you do as a parent. You don't have to believe anything. You just have to take them.

This dunk literally woke me up
