There are people who will tell you that facts have alternates that are just as true. Don’t listen to these people. Numbers never lie.

Just said to someone “Jaden McDaniels is my top draft pick for sociopaths in the NBA.” His dead-ass eyes remind me of Emperor Palpatine.

If the past couple games have taught us anything about Luka it’s that there’s a lot more Ron Artest to his game than we thought. He’s yelling at someone after almost every made bucket. #nba

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

My best pics since Saturday. Every day feels like one of those intense Indies where you don’t know if it’ll be good enough to tell your friends and you’re also like, “I don’t care. This is my favorite movie of the year.” #corkscrew #switchback #edgeline

You’re the Detroit Pistons. What do you do with Malik Beasley? It was weird watching the kabuki theater of everyone on the Heat pretending nothing was strange about the Terry Rozier situation. But Detroit is finding out about the investigation while Beasley’s a free agent. Your move. #nba #nbasky

Fun to hear a new (to me!) NBA writer’s voice. The Bulls not getting a first for Caruso remains an unpardonable sin. Same for the Lakers letting him walk when he would’ve taken half what the Bulls offered. Learned a lot more about Okoro here, too:

It's not just the wallet ad, @gruber.foo, I've noticed little upsell ads all over the iOS ecosystem. Whenever someone texts me a link to Apple Music (I use Spotify), there's a little line "Subscribe to Apple Music" line under the message.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

I've always felt that the lack of diversity in film crews was an issue, but these authors found the real numbers to make the case. (a couple quotes from me, but the data's that's the real star here). Crackerjack reporting by @robarthur.bsky.social and @benlindbergh.bsky.social :

Behind the Camera, Movies Are Still #SoWhite

A decade after #OscarsSoWhite, movie casts have grown much more racially diverse. But the makeup of movie crews has barely budged.

I thought the biggest headline coming out of the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference should have been "Daryl Morey Thinks There Are Too Many Threes in the NBA" @kpelton.bsky.social just dropped a version of that story with his usual analytic (and journalistic!) rigor: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Three-pointer problem? Why the NBA has no qualms with it -- yet

The 2024-25 NBA season has witnessed a historic number of 3-point attempts. But does the league really need to rein in the 3s?

Hello #NBAsky – the Bane / Ja dynamic was giving me strong Bradley Beal / John Wall vibes – what should have been a dynamic duo ruined by jealousy and vice. Anybody else seeing that?
