🗣 NY Liberty are the MF Champs!!! 💍🏆

The kid in me who waited for this moment in 1997 when she was 9. This feeling is surreal, indescribable. But now I know what it feels like. Elated beyond words. NY is a basketball city. The mecca of streetball. We take this shit serious. But always seem to fall short or far from reach of winning the big chip. In the midst of that, we never give up on our teams. Y'all know our phrase: "It's iight! Knicks got it next year!" Same with the Liberty.

I watched this team tip-off for the first ever WNBA game against the Sparks 8 days after Jordan and the Bulls took home more rings. The year prior was the '96 Olympics win for USA women and their episode on Martin. This was must-watch tv. Eyes fucking glued to the screen. I just knew my short ass would play in this league one day lol. For Spoon, Lobo, Kym, Sophia, VJ, Trena, Kisha, Sue, Blades, Crys, and Cass to set the foundation here.

The Liberty garnered fans from the 5 boroughs. Played with heart. The Garden went from being packed to damn near empty during those rough seasons years later. I vividly remember being at the first (and last 🙃) outdoor WNBA game at Arthur Ashe. I was fucking hot from the heat and that score. (At least win that one.) A decade later, the new front office direction and big move to Barclays came. For Joe Tsai, Sandy, these players, Ellie 😏, and entire organization to make the adjustments needed in their respective areas to seal this victory for this state. Baybee. This shit is a Cinderella dream come true.

The definition of a team sport. Passion, trust, grit, mental agility, and teamwork. Fatigue got them best of the Liberty (mostly) and the Lynx. Stewie and Sabrina led them as far as they could. Running on fumes. Benijah owned game 2. That knee is blessed. Fiebich is a defense machine always looking to pick your pocket and make the best scoring decision. (To be drafted by the Sparks then traded to Chicago but neither team contacted her so NY made the home call. Come to BK, love.)

Sabally and KT are energy boosters and magnets making great decisions defensively and offensively who can change the trajectory of a game with their aura. (Sabally like Betnijah dealt with injuries this year.) Jonquel changes the trajectory of a game with her presence, when she locks in on keeping the ball high, and them sexy 3s 😮‍💨. Sloot had a solid season in the beginning before her mom passed. Her return on the night of the Commissioner's Cup still makes me sad because I know the team really wanted to win that game for her.

Lynx took the cup, but the Liberty 🗽 took them MF rings. It's funny cuz I'm a Lynx fan (they played their heart out) and love a lot of players from other teams, just not when they're playing the Liberty. Same with the Aces. Love 'em. But home team love first, baby. Some of our former players showed up tonight for this championship ☺️. I ain't even gon hold you. I wanted to see Becky there 🙃. Just a pop up lol. I'll forever love this game and this league.

nba playoffs recap 5/19

knicks v pacers: wow. jalen brunson. you are not who i thought you were. josh FART - you are EXACTLY. who i thought you were. but isaiah hartenstein - you were so exceptionally ass that no one could’ve predicted it. you couldn’t score a SINGLE POINT?? in 30 FUCKING MINUTES?? nah bring killian hayes back. SURELY even HE did more than this. meanwhile og anunoby is limping around the court for 5 minutes like he really needs to take a shit. this is the mecca??? OOOOOKAYYYY.

you know who was hooping?? DONTE DIVINCENZO. where the fuck was this in cali huh?? where were you when they bay needed you???

man i went and got myself emotionally attached to the villanova knicks and now what. NOW what.

meanwhile, the pacers play a complete game, which has not been true of a pacers team in perhaps centuries. entire starting lineup pretty evenly contributes, no one is carrying, then guys off the bench come in and help. the pacers have been very consistent since the beginning of the season too like it’s important to note that they played the lakers for the in season tournament title back in december? november? and while the lakers fell off, the pacers are headed to an ecf. good shit. straight hoops. i like it.

twolves vs nuggets:

GOOOOOODBYEEEEEEEE DENVER FUCKETS!!!!!!!!!! NO MORE JOKER BASKETBALL!! NO MORE MPJ!!! NOOOOOOO MOOOOOORE JAMAL MURRAY!!!!

crazy how they got jamal murray getting fucked on camera twice. like once is certainly something, but TWICE??? i’m literally giddy rn idk if you can tell. GREAT reminder that mfkers who are NOT the warriors CANNOT. FUCKING. REPEAT.

ant baby. 6-24. off shooting night but it’s okay because you grabbed boards, you got assists, and we’re gonna do better next time. it’s okay.

oh KAT. you know i don’t like you, KAT. but you HOOPED last night. naz reid. you HOOPED hooped. thank you to KAT, naz reid, and jaden mcdaniels for being the only members of the minnesota timberwolves who could break 50% fgp.

imagine you’re the denver nuggets and the twolves’ best player is bricking or airmailing every shot, and they STILL overcome a 20 point deficit to go to the conference finals. don’t you just KNOW ur cooked then?? don’t you just feel it in your… NUGGETS 🤣🤣🤣

okay sorry. anyway. salivating at the thought of ant v luka in the wcf. suuuuuuccchhhh good basketball bro this is what the playoffs are for!!!!

Chum 85: "I need you to understand that this means nothing vis a vis our Naruto debate,"

We sit in comfortable silence for a moment, watching the people pass by on the street. Any single one of them might be near death tomorrow. And maybe they'll be the next great superhero or supervillain. Or maybe they'll find the right or wrong drugs and become part of this underworld - the closest thing to a sort of hell I can fathom.

"So, any plans for the holidays?" I ask, trying to lighten the mood.

Jamila smiles, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Actually, yes. One of my brothers and I are planning on doing the Hajj this year, now that he's done touring with Demon Core."

I tilt my head, confused. "The Hajj? What's that?"

Jamila laughs, shaking her head. "I forget how much of a heathen you are sometimes, Sam. The Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca, in Saudi Arabia. It's one of the five pillars of Islam, something every Muslim is supposed to do at least once in their life, if they're able."

I nod, fascinated. "That sounds amazing, Jamila. I'm sure it will be an incredible experience. Can you keep telling me about it so I don't have to think about all the other things I'm neglecting right now, like my schoolwork?"

Jamila grins, her excitement palpable. "Yeah, sure. I'll give you the whole infodump. It's gonna be great."

Cosby Field from the new Tailgating Pavillion Game 7 of the Knicks/Pacers series just ended. So let’s recap. It was Game 7. Eastern Conference Semifinals. At Madison Square Garden. A home game. At the “Mecca.” Do we need any more buildup? And yet? It was a big, fat, nothingburger. Pacers 130, Knicks 109. The Pacers had a historic day shooting the basketball and full credit to them for sure.

Look at this bitch ass football field. The people in NY don’t even like HS football. I hate these people. Andrew Schulz, Madison Square Garden? This is not the Mecca of basketball, this isn’t a good place for kids to grow up. Why are you focused on my past? You aren’t anything. Really
