Kids today probably don’t know this, but there was a time not long ago when you could go hours, sometimes an entire DAY without seeing or hearing the President of the United States

Thanks to the millions of people who watched Mortality on Netflix and made it the number 1 special in the world. And thanks to everyone who signed a petition to get it cancelled after this trailer was released 😂

From my 50-game check earlier today...data about how heavily the Lakers are leaning into zone defense.
Over last 11 games they lead NBA by a wide margin at 16.8 zone possessions per game according to tracking data. For context, the Heat rank second at 7.3 zone possessions 👇

🚨50-game check deep dive alert🚨
Lakers are trending the right way but the big question remains: is the defensive improvement real?
Big rotation changes, more size, zone, fast break transformation, and what happens when all three stars are healthy 👇

The Lakers trade deadline wasn’t just about what they did or didn’t do.
It was about how to build, big bang vs. incremental, waiting vs. adapting, new vs old NBA.

A year ago today I woke up to absolute devastating news. My wife thought something happened to one of my kids.
I got messages from all over the world, even from people who don't follow sports. They knew my identity was tied to the Mavs.

Haven't had a voice since Sunday. Went to the doctor yesterday.
Checked me out, said he had nothing. Then leaned in and said, "What do YOU think it is?"
Dude, I'm not the one with $400,000 worth student loans.😏
