For any new followers - you can expect me to post mostly about the NBA (especially the Knicks) and NFL (Giants), music, politics, and American involvement in the Middle East.
I'm also here for the jokes... lots of jokes

Past few days I saw people debating Kenyon Martin being better than Draymond Green (he's not) and Gilbert Arenas being better than Ray Allen (he's not) and all I can say is podcasts have cooked NBA discourse 💀

LaMelo is never beating the 🤡 allegations
LaMelo Ball is open to a trade after growing increasingly frustrated with the Hornets, per @kellyiko.bsky.social.

The D'Angelo Russell fall off is kinda crazy if we're being real. He's only 29 and he's basically irrelevant on a team that doesn't have another point guard lol

I could really get used to these Knicks games where they just come out strong and don't make me stress unnecessarily

I hate how accurate this is. We need a viable third party option so badly in this country 😮💨

The Giants keeping Daboll through the draft (even if he was right about Dart) only to fire him halfway through the season is absolutely terrible process.

I really hope Mamdani wins and I REALLY hope he does a good job as mayor. The city, the country, and the Democratic Party at large needs to see that there's a way forward, that the party can actually improve the lives of its citizens.

I just think that teams built as top heavy as the Knicks are need to crush late round picks and value FA signings and that's not something Leon has really done the last couple years.
At this rate come playoff time and MB is going to be playing a Thibs rotation, watch...

What if - and hear me out now - the Knicks just haven't had benches worth using the last couple seasons and that WASN'T Thibs just being senile?
It's early but I was never particularly sold on Yabu and I continue to be baffled as to why Leon still hasn't traded Mitch for a more reliable big

Knicks’ supposedly improved bench has yet to prove itself to Mike Brown

Ja Morant increasingly reminds me of Stephon Marbury. All the talent in the world, plays along a rising two-way big who got paid, impossible to keep out of the paint (when engaged), but never really seems to "get it" and always leaves you feeling like they're content to waste their talent.

Am I a hater if I say I'm disappointed in how much KAT has shrunk from this challenge? Bro has been in Giannis trade rumors for months and this is how he responds when he plays him?

Of course I'm hoping the Knicks blow this game wide open to close this 3th quarter, but that being said... Watching Giannis when he turns it up is still one of the most entertaining sights in all of basketball
