i have not spoken on the 65 game rule because i’m ultimately not super passionate about it, but this cade situation is the first thing that’s really pushed me over the edge. he’s had an all-NBA season and absolutely shouldn’t be penalized for a collapsed lung with 14 games left.

such strange, awful news to wake up to. hoping it isn’t as dire as it sounds and he will be better soon 🙏

It's the worst

Great piece by Molly, that pretty much sums up the vibe of Grizz fans right now 🧐

how life feels when you’re not mad about an NBA player averaging 18.9 PPG randomly scoring 83 points in a game

someday a child is going to learn that their dad once scored 83 points in an NBA game and still wasn’t a more legendary basketball player than their mom. amazing stuff

watching a heat/wizards regular season game like it’s the NBA finals was not how i thought i’d be spending my night tonight

Victor Wembanyama’s tears inspired me to write about why emotions in sports matter open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

this was one of the silliest things i’ve ever seen in a professional basketball game

i can’t explain it but i’m pretty sure the clippers just invented a new way to lose

in a world of NBA player podcast controversies, shoutout to luke kornet for giving us the first NBA player blog controversy. a win for literacy

i unironically want to see the steph animated movie in theaters has anyone seen it 😭

A truly delightful and wonderfully insightful lunchtime read on a day when I desperately needed a lil' distraction. Bravo and thank you @mollyhannahm.bsky.social. We'll know Bluesky has truly arrived when we get some KD burner actin over here.

KD is your favorite poster's favorite poster. This is a great look back at his evolution and the evolution of the internet around him.

"What was once intimate and immediate is now curated and monetized, each mistake spun into a meme that drips with venom. The playground where Kevin Durant first learned to engage has transformed into a courtroom where everybody loses."

After months of editing and research (reading old KD tweets), I am so excited to finally share this piece. I wrote about Kevin Durant and the internet: open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

every closeup shot of KD at the all-star game just looks like this

format was great, and you have to give props to all of the guys for showing up and playing hard. never seen an all-star game like this in history. not a single gimmicky play or wasted possession, just the best players in the world competing. really cool stuff

team stars to team stripes:

I DARE ANYONE TO SAY THIS ALL-STAR GAME ISN’T ELECTRIC

cannot be overstated how good wemby is for the league. he was visibly angry after losing in the all-star game like it was a real game. ant even admitted he set the tone. this is what it’s all about! caring is cool!!!!

this all-star game has been awesome. having the guys play for their country (aka pride) was inevitably gonna get them to go hard. really great stuff

damian lillard coming back from hibernation in his portland jersey to win the three point contest and then doing the dame time celly…. are we back

i still feel like we’re all kind of sleeping on the fact that dame is in the three point contest

tanking is so funny. like i just stayed up til midnight for my silly little team to be left in the dust as they scramble on the last possession while the coach watches them like “lol good luck ❤️”

i was recording a video when the jaren news dropped and now i’m just sitting here crying with my ring light on

you think james harden is comfortable and then BOOM, trade request. always keeping us on our toes. he really is the GOAT at this

i think milo has the right idea

me: you know what, i feel kinda better now that the ja rumors have died down. whatever happens will happen! pablo torre: your team’s owner is a war criminal

inspired by trae young, i wrote about the complicated feelings following the removal of a franchise star open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

this is how it feels hearing JD vance speak

obsessed with how trae young’s camp navigated this trade. (atlanta clearly ready to move trae) “trae is open to being traded” (they test the market) “trae is interested in going to wolves or nets” (only interested suitor is wizards) “trae wants to go to the wizards”

day 5 of the flu and might i just say, i was not familiar with its game every time i start to feel like a person again my body is like “but are you sure :)))))”
