Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan being some of the first public voices about mental health and their struggles with it should be mentioned and highlighted when they make the Hall of Fame.

Idk who needs to hear this, but your mental health obstacles don't define you, nor do your capabilities (or lack) in overcoming those obstacles. Your struggles with things other people seem to accomplish easily don't determine your worth.

Updated a schedule analysis dashboard to the site. You can select the team and it gives you back to backs, 3 in 4s, rest advantage, and timezone crossings. There is also a full table. intheno.net/nba-schedule...

My first cube gets its first playtest today. Nervous but excited! Will likely make a thread with how it goes tomorrow.

At Y! Sports: I wrote about Amar'e Stoudemire, a player for whom it seemed not even the skies were the limit, and his miraculous path to the Hall of Fame. yhoo.it/4gdV06Y

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026: Amar'e Stoudemire played above the rim in a way only he could

Stoudemire was a 6-foot-10, 245-pound elevating-and-detonating marvel, a six-time All-Star and five-time All-NBA selection who played 14 years in the league.

We may have failed once, twice, but certainly not three times! Come see us bumble through another adventure in For The King. When in doubt, it's RNG's fault. Tune in at 9pm est at twitch.tv/moralskullproductions

Russell Westbrook has always been one of my favorite players to watch and cheer for ever. Insanely entertaining, history-redefining, and some of the most incredible get-out-of-your-seat dunks ever. I hope he’s obnoxiously successful in whatever he wants to do post-NBA.

“Langdon failed at his No. 1 objective this offseason, but instead of panicking into a move that wouldn’t work just so he could say he is taking his shot, he decided to bide his time and wait to see if that move becomes available.” www.detroitbadboys.com/detroit-pist...

@sjgames.com : Why do Robot Sea Monsters have 2 income? One would think the CIA would have to use their Tabloid money to fund those.

In my one (1) prerelease experience so far, hone counters have been sick! Feels bomb-y while still being fair. (Dropping Sting mid-combat never gets old)

Ben Weitz@bsweitz123.bsky.social · 2w ago

Even for a play designer, I typically work on sets late in their lifecycle. I don't do a lot of blue-sky mechanic design, I tune existing mechanics. But I am very proud to have had a large hand in designing hone counters! I just want every equipment to be Colossus Hammer :)

A new medical study says there is a link between an increase in minutes played in the games before an Achilles tear and a player suffering that injury. The NBA said that no relationship exists, according to its own internal research. Free to read: www.nytimes.com/athletic/748...

Today in D&D, our Minotaur Barbarian dug a hole in the beach until the ocean submerged him. Then he raged and [Wild Magic] became trapped in a crystal. The water pressure built until his friends found him + cast Reduce to try and free him. He suffered 173 damage and was launched. I love this game.

MLB players are the thoroughbred horses of the human world in that if you take your eye off them for a second they will get loose and find some completely novel Looney Tunes way to suffer a catastrophic injury

gonna finish the lawn in a second but I thought of something while I was outside and now I have to look up the win shares from the 1988 draft, doesn't matter what sport

BIG3 is a perfect sport because it’s just peak Naming Dudes™️ material.

I spent my lunch break watching LeBron’s career highlights like the excited high schooler I was 20 years ago. Sports are great. Living in a sports city is great.

I have written about Thad Young being unable to remember the last time the Sixers won a game, their GM resigning in a burner account scandal, their No. 1 pick forgetting how to shoot, deadly sesame allergies, and so much more. And now, LeBron, for the minimum. Life is bonkers. tinyurl.com/4zswb8mp

Winners and losers of the LeBron James Sweepstakes

The reverberations from LeBron's decision to join the Sixers will be felt far and wide; let's start getting our arms around it all.
