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 :)))))”

For my first Substack of the new year, I wrote about Victor Oladipo. open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

anxiously waiting for jokić news like he is a close personal friend of mine

watched my team lose to the wizards twice this week

A year ago today, I interviewed Victor Wembanyama after he spontaneously invited fans to play chess with him in Washington Square Park. I wrote about it for my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

i wrote about jokić open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

wemby loudly celebrating after chet missed his free throw >>> this hate is incredible for the league

thibs was sacrificed so tyler kolek could save christmas

merry christmas to all those who celebrate and happy hoopmas to all those who don’t! let’s watch some basketball 🥹

I obviously had to write about Heated Rivalry open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

really big fan of hockey suddenly. and by hockey i mean heated rivalry on HBO. and by big fan i mean i sobbed through the last 2 episodes and cannot think of anything else

the fact that we elected him twice will never ever ever make sense to me it’s so disturbing that it cannot even be put into words

if there isn’t a tyler kolek blvd by tomorrow morning, new york has failed us

have coaches ever considered that fouling up three, though objectively smart, kills the vibes

My NBA newsletter officially has a name!!!! Thank you SO much to everyone who has supported my work. As an independent writer, it truly means the world 💕 If you love being dramatic about basketball, subscribe to Moll Don’t Lie 🏀 open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

I NEED HELP NAMING MY NBA NEWSLETTER!!! do we like: Moll Knowledge or Moll Don’t Lie this is a very important decision, all input is appreciated 🙏

OH MY GOD LEBRON PASSES THE BALL KNOWING HIS STREAK IS ON THE LINE AND RUI HITS THE GAME WINNER HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT BASKETBALL

i wrote about giannis and chris paul open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

there’s nothing better about messy trades than it being so obvious whose side each reporter represents. no trace of subtlety whatsoever and it’s beautiful

was an honor to be featured on katie’s newsletter! everybody should read basketball feelings!

stoked to have @mollyhannahm.bsky.social in this week’s guest feature at BASKETBALL FEELINGS! on the rise, fall, and redemption of dillon brooks, and what makes the perfect nba villain

desmond bane accidentally scoring a clutch bucket for the other team in a tight game is one of the funniest things i’ve seen

Great stuff from Molly. The only way any media (not just social) can work for us anymore is if each of us takes control of our info algorithm, instead of passively allowing it to control us. Consume real and you get rewarded with more real.

This is a must read for basically every human being.

i wrote about social media and AI (not allen iverson, sadly) open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

i love this era i’m in where my basketball team pisses people off so much i feel a need to release statements that end in “hope everyone has a wonderful sunday 🫶”

zach edey’s impact cannot be overstated (reminds me a lot of steven adams’). grizz have looked like a different team since he came back, even without ja and jaren. plus he makes his FTs so you can play him in clutch time! his defensive leap has been really cool to see as well

In his 19th season, Mike Conley opens up about the windows in his career — and why he’s more determined than ever. Wrote my first NBA feature story on my first favorite player: open.substack.com/pub/mollyhmo...

Apologies for making my return to this lovely Elon-less land to self promo BUT I started a substack and it occurred to me that I should share that here! Writing has always been my favorite thing and it’s felt incredible to finally be doing that publicly substack.com/@mollyhmorri...

*taps mic* is this thing still on???

kawhi collecting his $7M “tree planting” check every year

ace hearing his name called for the jazz after refusing their workout

a deal was made

tj mcconnell vs. alex caruso

alcaraz said

thinking about NY basketball fans who turned on the liberty-fever game to try and forget about the knicks only to be subjected to this 😭

tyrese haliburton doing the reggie miller choke at MSG and then pointing to him in the crowd is why sports are awesome

the pacers when it’s time to orchestrate a comeback that isn’t humanly possible

where were you when aaron nesmith invented basketball

these NBA playoffs are cool because every time you start to think you know what’s going to happen next, the basketball gods laugh in your face

the pope is a villanova graduate ready to give his life to his job? make sure he stays as far away from thibs as possible

how watching the NBA playoffs feels when your favorite team isn’t playing

one of my favorite popovich stories is derozan talking about how he supported him when his dad was dying not only a hall of fame basketball coach but a hall of fame human

sick for pistons fans but HOLY SHIT, what an incredible run. from being the laughingstock of the NBA last season to making the playoffs and giving the knicks a legit scare. the best story in the league this season, excited for this team’s future
