Nets sacrifice safety and sanity by caving to unvaccinated Kyrie Irving

Sigh. Picture me doing a surrender cobra.

Kyrie Irving enters NBA health and safety protocols a day after Nets said he would return

Opps.

Picture Irving and the Nets doing surrender cobras.

Speaking of GOATs:

The Rush: Steph Curry breaks NBA 3-point record as Warriors slay Knicks

Stephen Curry further cements his GOAT legacy, breaking the NBA’s all-time made 3-pointers record in front of Ray Allen and Reggie Miller at Madison Square Garden. In the historic contest, the Warriors beat the Knicks ...

2977!

Maybe just a 3-point GOAT, but still. He's 33 and healthy. He passed Ray Allen, who had 18 seasons to Steph's 12. Reggie Miller is a distant 3rd. He also played 18 years. Then, there's James Harden, 32, still active, now with the Nets and nearly 300 behind Steph.

Stephen Curry: Warriors star becomes first-ever to hit 3,000 career 3-pointers, extends own NBA record of 3-pointers streak

... These achievements come just over a fortnight after Curry went past Ray Allen's NBA record tally of 2,973 3-pointers in regular-season history....

That 3-pointer also extended his current streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 157, matching his own NBA record streak that he recorded from Nov. 13, 2014, to Nov. 3, 2016.

Stephen Curry hits first career buzzer-beater to lift Warriors past Rockets

Shocking. The 33 year old 3-point GOAT has been in the NBA since 2009.

Rivers tossed for faking elbow on Stephenson




Lessons from this:
1. You can get ejected for a fake foul.
2. Given #1, might as well elbow the hell out of your opponent.
