The Official 2025/2026 NBA Season - The New York Knicks Are The 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS!!!

Has a player ever called out an opponent for tanking like this?

I love the way he attacked the league for being harsh on players and giving deference to owners.

This is what leadership sounds like.
Man Warriors wasn’t tanking? They was looking like ass I thought they was tanking hell.
 
Has been around the program and coaches because his daughter plays volleyball for UNC

So he's been going to a few practices....befriended some people....and they asked him


Those college job offers must be tempting for the guys used to coaching in the pros.

The shorter seasons, less overall travel, and good paydays, etc.
 
Can somebody tell Anthony Davis' bitch ass that the reason you are booed every time you come back to New Orleans is because of the picture show in the tweet? Numerous players have asked for trades and have returned and received tributes from the Pelicans, daps and handshakes from the arena staff, and fans waving and saying hello to them when they visit the city.

And despite what ESPN and BGOL faggots choose to believe, nobody was going to force him to stay here, and the fanbase knew it was time to move on and he was going to get traded either during the season or at the end. The Pelicans made one final Hail Mary attempt to keep him using the prospect of playing with Zion but he said no and was sent to the Lakers immediately

It's on him and Rich Paul for burning the fucking bridges; that's why he's treated like Eric Gordon when he comes back.

 




I asked ChatGPT what party he was running with and what positions he has taken and this is what it said:




Former Greg Ostertag (best known for the Utah Jazz) is running for mayor of Mount Vernon, Texas as a Republican.

Local coverage of the race describes him as running in the Republican primary/Republican field for mayor.



Political stances in the mayoral campaign​

Because this is a small-town mayoral race, his campaign messaging has focused heavily on local governance and quality-of-life issues rather than national ideology. Public statements and interviews highlight themes typical of local Republican municipal campaigns in small Texas towns.

Core campaign themes​


1) Fiscal conservatism / taxes
  • Emphasizes keeping taxes low and controlling city spending.
  • Frames his candidacy around “common-sense budgeting” and business-friendly policies.
2) Infrastructure and growth
  • Wants improvements to:
    • roads and basic infrastructure
    • economic development and attracting businesses
    • downtown revitalization and tourism around the lake area
3) Public safety
  • Strong support for local police and first responders.
  • Emphasizes maintaining a safe small-town environment.
4) Transparency and community involvement
  • Campaign messaging stresses:
    • open communication with residents
    • hands-on leadership
    • bringing a “team mentality” from sports to city government.
These are largely pragmatic municipal positions rather than ideological policy proposals.



Previous political views and public positions​


Ostertag has not previously been a politician, but there is a significant record of public political activism from his NBA career and afterward.

1) Opposition to same-sex marriage (major past political stance)​

This is the most notable documented political position he has taken publicly.

In 2013, he:
  • Donated $1,000 to support Proposition 8, California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
  • Publicly confirmed his opposition to same-sex marriage.
Key context:
  • He later clarified that he supports equal civil rights but believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
  • He acknowledged the issue became public because donation records are public.

This remains the most concrete ideological stance tied to him nationally.



2) Conservative leanings and Texas political culture​


While not a prolific political commentator, public reporting and his campaign positioning align with:
  • Republican affiliation
  • Conservative social views
  • Small-government, pro-business outlook
He has not built a public record of detailed policy positions on:
  • federal politics
  • foreign policy
  • broader national issues
His political identity is best described as:
socially conservative + fiscally conservative + locally focused.


Overall summary

Party:

  • Republican

Campaign platform (mayor):
  • Low taxes / fiscal restraint
  • Infrastructure and economic development
  • Public safety support
  • Community transparency and local leadership

Prior political stance:
  • Opposed same-sex marriage (publicly confirmed donation and statements)
  • General conservative orientation
 
Yesterday the Wizards led the Bulls 6-5 and never again. It was 40-20 early in the second quarter.

This is beyond tanking.


 

I was thinking Andrew Wiggins but Tyson Chandler might be the best example. I remember him on the cover of Sports Illustrated around drat time. He was on his way to being Kwame Brown and ended up being All-NBA, DPOY and a critical contributor on a championship team.
