Brittney Griner makes over $300K a year all told. That puts her in the Top 2% of Americans. Further, NBA players command what they make because they generate billions in revenue. Whereas the WNBA has lost money in each of its 26 seasons.

I can’t help but think if this were an NBA player the president would get involved or SOMETHING and he’d be out but of course it WOULD never be an NBA player because they don’t have to play in Moskow to subsidize their living twitter.com/nytimes/status…

Nope is phenomenal. A cinematic masterclass. A visual feast. Vibes: Hitchcock, Close Encounters, War of the Worlds. Yet still quite unique. Jordan Peele is on a different level. But man I got so many questions.

Was lucky to meet Paul Sorvino in 2011. Chatted with him for a few minutes and couldn't have been nicer. Wanted so much to ask him Goodfellas questions. Decided against it. (I did ask him about Money Talks which got a big laugh.) He'll always be Paulie to me.

If you have a hot take. Make sure you can back it up, prove it, with a well thought out argument. Do this and it won’t be a hot take. It’ll just mean you know what you’re talking about.

Media invented hot takes. Fans emulating this dumbs down the discourse. Players are now getting in on the act. It’s chaos. There won’t be a reasonable, researched, well-articulated opinion to be had. Just everyone trying to out-hot take each other.

Jerry West is 1-8 in The Finals. The worst record all-time. West has missed the most field goals in Finals History. Has the most TOs. They made him The Logo 3 years before he won a ring. Remember that the next time you mention LeBron’s 4-6 Finals record.

LeBron has to average 22 for the next 10 years to become NBA's all-time leading scorer.

For context DeMar DeRozan is 6-6, 220. That's 20 pounds heavier than Michael Jordan.

LeBron is expected to play in the Drew League tomorrow. Bronny should play too. Why wait for the NBA?

Sheed's modern day equivalent is Karl-Anthony Towns, who at 26 is far better than Sheed ever was. But somehow Sheed would be Top 5 today. Come on leave the hot takes to the media. This is what we do.

Trump would have freed Brittney Griner is the worst take. Trump failed to free US Marine Trevor Reed. (Biden did it.) Trump doesn't need to be president to pick up the phone and call Putin on BG's behalf right now. Bill Clinton freed two hostages 10 years after he was president.

Blazers Summer Report Card: A+
Extended franchise superstar Dame Lillard. Resigned future star Anfernee Simons. Plus Nurk. Drafted Shaedon Sharpe (steal of the draft). Acquired Jerami Grant & Gary Payton II (hustle, heart, energy). Nicely done.

9 years later. Steph and Dame are the two best guards in the West. Neither were All-Stars at the time. Are you starting to get the picture?

Nikola Jokic is better than Porzingis right now. Ahead of Dirk at the same stage. Top 15 NBA player. Could very well win MVP in the next 2 years.

Forget Kyrie. Kevin Durant for Anthony Davis is the trade that makes the most sense for the Lakers. Unload Davis before he's untradeable. KD turns a losing team into a champion and totally redeems himself.
