I don’t think I’d play Mo Diawara another summer game. I can’t see any point in it.

This is definitely the worst Summer Knicks I’ve ever seen. Figures. I mean, we don’t pick anyone anymore and definitely no guards with Brunson.

Jim Jackson is painful to listen to on the broadcast. I just want him to shut the fuck up.

The Summer Knicks have zero guard play. I’d like to see some Jack Kayil in the 2nd half.

Gross. Summer League is such dogshit. 😂 Where’s Knicks Summer League legend Kevin Knox?

Not sure what Mo Diawara is doing out there.

I’ve seen enough. Tyler Nickel is better than Kobe Bryant.

Tyler Nickel is already better than Ray Allen.

The most fascinating thing about Dadiet is that his defense, from day one, has been ahead of his offense. He just doesn’t look like an NBA player yet.

Whoever the big white dude #31 is, he sucks.

Shouldn’t Valanciunas be clearing waivers right about now?

I keep looping back to my feeling that LeBron to Golden State is inevitable. I have one reason & one reason only. NBA season is loooooong & you have to live & travel with your teammates. In his final season, does he want to hang out with James Harden, Jaylen Brown, Embiid, Jokic…or Steph/Draymond?

Um. Fuck?

There’s a brand of person on social media who is like, “Hey Knicks fans, fuck your team. You love James Dolan and surveillance and yadda yadda.” Mother fucker, we know. We’re original haters. I’ll be damned if I’m going to let that historic asshole ruin something I love. Chill out.

This is cool. No Beal or DeRozan which is fine. Love to grab Valanciunas with the last spot.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Go get him Leon.

The world's best cycling cities aren't born. They're built. The Dutch approach isn't about culture or coincidence. It's about making choices that prioritize people over cars, and creating places where bikes become the safest, easiest, and most attractive option for everyone. WATCH: buff.ly/fAoV8lN

In the couple of years I wrote for Baseball Prospectus I recall a couple of writers transitioning to work for MLB teams. One of my writing partners, Kevin Goldstein, went on to help build the Astros. I don’t recall many NBA examples, so the Tim Bontemps thing in Atlanta feels weird.

I watched a Netflix two-parter about Teddy Roosevelt last night. It’s so hilarious that he & Trump share the same “force of will” belief in themselves as singular actors on the world stage. Only, TR actually led a whole ass life proving he was correct to believe it. Trump just pays sycophants.

Spoke to my friend Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes today

Alright, so Drummond is our main backup unless they have something up their sleeves.

Ummm…why hasn’t there been one of these posts about Josh Hart’s perpendicular finger yet.

The Cavs are doing something fascinating. The whole league is going full MBA style value-maxxing & dumping dudes with gigantic cap hits. The Cavs are like, “Sign us up for huge money on Harden’s steep decline era & give Mitchell naming rights on the arena.”

Holy mother of 2nd round exits

You know what? Screw you, Belgium. We’re still the god damn United States of America and we’re the home of the Cones of Dunshire. Suck it.

There’s a reason I always root for the Netherlands and Argentina in international futbol. The United States will never be good at the sport as long as I’m alive & they’re historical thieves of joy every time.

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

Thanks a lot, Orange Hitler. You ruined all the good vibes again with your big loser energy.

They should give the US Women’s National Team a billion dollars for how well they represent us in the sport. The men should have to be their butlers.

Buck up, US fans. The women’s World Cup is less than a year away.

I’m not mad that the US lost. I expected them to lose. I’m mad that they continued to humiliate us on this stage every single time.

The Knicks just won the NBA title.

The difference between the US and the actual quality soccer nations is stark. So. Many. Unforced. Errors. We’re still not a serious soccer program.

You can immediately see the people who tune in to sports every few years by the things they’re saying about the World Cup & Balogun. As if this is church league & fouls are called on the honor system. Sorry to disappoint you but everything you hate about everything else is part of sports.

There it is. I expect him to be a Laker or Clipper as an LA guy but hope springs eternal.

A FIFA appeals judge has dismissed Belgium’s legal challenge of a U.S. star’s suspension being lifted after Trump called Infantino. Here's what to know.

I wrestle w/myself about it but I keep thinking about LeBron, Beal, DeRozan or someone else of that reputation signing on to a vet minimum w/the Knicks to boost our title defense. I don’t know if any of it is actually a good idea, but I dreamed of this for decades. Being a ring chaser destination.

Now that the Knicks have won the title I would like off this ridiculous timeline.

Government my Monty Python. History’s greatest satirists could never have made any of this up.

Jalen Brunson at the Brazil-Norway match as the King of New Jersey.

Trump called Infantino on Wednesday to get Balogun's red card lifted. Nice to ride alon with Tyler Pager on what will be seen (and is) in many parts as one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/u...

I’m going to go on the betting markets to predict the next president of FIFA will be… drumroll ….Jared Kushner.

!! Mallory McMorrow drops out of the Michigan Senate primary, leaving a one-on-one contest between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens. This dramatically changes the dynamic of the race. A must-win seat for Democrats this fall.

I feel certain that many/most Knicks fans will loathe this but I’ve been of the silent belief for a month that Bradley Beal will be a Knick next year. Maybe I’m way off but World Wide Wes loves the guy & I think it make a ton of sense in Clarkson’s stead. I’m ambivalent but I 90% expect it.

World Cup soccer is about fair play & goodwill between nations & their peoples.

The algorithms often reveal the ghosts in the machine, @alexwolfe.bsky.social

I hope Mitch McConnell is not alive.

A funny bit of Knicks pathology born of decades of trauma… I obviously never gave a millisecond of thought to Jaylen Brown when he was on the block, but in the trade postmortem I see talk of other teams that showed interest & I still instinctively check the list for the Knicks.
