Dorktown salutes Dikembe Mutombo, who singlehandedly (literally, maybe) out-blocked almost every team in the NBA for ten days in 1995
bar graph titled "deke mutombo, an individual, & every entire nba organization from 12/2/95-12/11/96" with blocked shots on the x axis. the rockets have over 40 as a team. mutombo is right below them, and every other nba team is below mutombo

the first cut of this video about steve kerr passing on the knicks had a lot more seth cursing into the microphone and muttering "never deserved him" over and over to himself, but @hachiozhang.bsky.social found a way to work around that. full piece here: www.patreon.com/posts/early-...

Alex Rubenstein scatterplot with points on the y axis and seasons on the x axis. title of the chart is "'25 Austin Reaves (in green) and every other laker thru 5 games of every season" Austin Reaves' little green dot is in the top right corner, as he's scored over 170 points in the first five games this year. the only other players up in that echelon are Laker legends throughout history, each with a few appearances. Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Shaq, Kobe, etc. And then Austin Reaves

hey sorry went to sleep early so didn't see the tickets come through until just now. long story short, we found the code that had broken and led the players to believe the 10th inning was the start of a new game, thus preventing them from leaving the simulation sooner. should be fixed for tonight

Mariners season never ends in Dorktown.

For subscribers, here's Alex on Cal Raleigh's legendary 2025

chart with dingers on the y-axis and a timeline along the x-axis. chart title is "'25 Cal Raleigh and every other big league catcher in every season" Various catchers are strewn about the chart over the years, but Cal in '25 is WELL above the rest
