| 1528575727121080320 | Andrew Wiggins just killed a man on national TV. | 4833 |
| 1578384496545636352 | TMZ, still the undisputed champion of 'how the (bleep) did they get this?' | 2199 |
| 1478350874653122565 | I worked for Turner Sports, which operated NBA TV & https://t.co/tv9kc58LDa in partnership w/the league, for 14 years. You know what David Stern did when I wrote or said something he didn’t like? He called me up and cussed me out. But he didn’t go to my bosses & try to fire me. | 1699 |
| 1642677613083652098 | Zero problem with Angel Reese, Caitlin Clarke or anyone as good as they are talking junk, because they back it up on the court. Some of y'all always have exceptions to your "rules" about "sportsmanship." | 1284 |
| 1515891747989204995 | You know what’s crazy? CP3 was great 15 years ago. Ten years ago. Five years ago. Today. With completely different teams, at different points in his career, with different responsibilities. Doesn’t matter. Just. Greatness. | 954 |
| 1501937323809804294 | I love my NBA media brethren. But if I have to read or hear one more “why doesn’t Nikola Jokic get any love?” piece/pod, I’m going to plotz. Jokic IS THE REIGNING MVP. He’ll either win again this year or likely finish a close second to Joel Embiid. For the love of God, stop. | 914 |
| 1525933075204558848 | Pat Riley’s playoff mantra, JVG, was "use eight, rotate seven, play six and trust five." You’re welcome. | 758 |
| 1486168296789528580 | The most pathetic performance I’ve seen in almost 40 years of being around and covering this basketball team. | 637 |
| 1495593135510114307 | Of course, Michael Jordan is introduced last among the NBA’s Top 75 players of all time who made it to All-Star Weekend in Chicago. | 325 |
| 1498497149021179905 | Your daily reminder that @JaMorant is that dude. | 267 |

| 1519537140815863808 | Nuggets don’t want to hear this now, but running it back next year, with Jokic, Barton, Gordon, a returning Murray and Porter, Jr (and, i’m assuming, a re-signed Cousins)…they’re gonna go on a deep postseason run in ’23. | 220 |

| 1639009126784303106 | The MVP race between Nikola Jokić, Joel Embiid & Giannis Antetokounmpo, through no fault of theirs, has devolved into the worst of negative campaigning by their various digital stans. It needs to stop. In @TheAthletic: https://t.co/VUx1GoaB0X | 172 |
