For @ringer, I wrote about Bob Windrem aka @NetsDaily, the 81-year-old former NBC newsman who is also the internet’s most prominent and prolific Nets blogger theringer.com/2026/11/11/nba…

The Secret Life of the NBA’s Most Mysterious Blogger

For decades, Bob Windrem has obsessively chronicled the Brooklyn Nets under a pseudonym. But the man Net Income has spent much of his life chasing secrets—and keeping a few of his own.

Maybe the Tatum-Brown rivalry does have ~a hint~ of “Shaq and Kobe” to it. For @SInow: si.com/nba/jaylen-brown-jays…

Tonight, we remember the 29. On the 51st anniversary of the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald, experience our entrance onto the ice through the eyes of our players, accompanied by the same cinematic arrangement of Gordon Lightfoot’s tribute that plays at every Laker Hockey home game.

A tidbit I came across ... The last time the NBA All-Star Game was played in Miami, Janet Jackson began her debut concert tour in the same building a few weeks later. So it’s been a while.

A lot of ball left to be played, but the Pistons are out in front of East group A after two nights of Cup play. +16 point differential, nine points ahead of the Magic currently.

THIS JUST IN: Rudy Gobert is NOT 0-for-28 from three in his career. He is 0-for-27. Upon investigation, @SInow has discovered that a Gobert four-foot hook shot on Jan. 24, 2015 was mislabeled as a three in the NBA’s official play-by-play data. Please fix @NBA, @bball_ref.

"So, with lowered shoulders—and activated parasympathetic nervous systems—Nakase’s side bought what their coach was selling and harnessed their competitive advantage: vulnerability." From @clare_brennan2's excellent Valkyries championship story: si.com/wnba/ride-of-valkyrie…
Ride of the Valkyries: How Natalie Nakase Built an Instant Winner at Golden State

Ride of the Valkyries: How Natalie Nakase Built an Instant Winner at Golden State

The second-year coach inspired a band of underdogs to buy into her brand of gritty, grind-it-out ball and delivered a title in the franchise’s second season.
