ππ½ππ½ππ½ TGIF! You've made it to the end of the week in (more or less) one piece ββ which is cause for celebration and a QH post on the house courtesy of your old buddy combatdavey.
Below you will find some sports-concerned this, that, and the other to fill the moments in your day you would otherwise spend writing a pro/con list in re: adding "Roundball Rock" to your sex playlist.
NB: New Twitter is a dumpster fire and I hate linking out to it ββ but a lot of the media organizations (legacy and indie) and professional teams share things there. As such, I will hold my nose and link to that hellsite when appropriate.
πβοΈ Joe Mazzulla is incapable of not looking psychotic (but it's awesome that he flies coach). (Twitter/CelticsGRD)
ππ£οΈ Jamal Crawford did a Reddit AMA and the quality (and length) of his answers (to a lot of excellent questions) are outstanding. Sometimes a celeb does an AMA and their answers are borderline monosyllablic. Meanwhile, JCrossover is out here writing tomes. (r/nba)
π0οΈβ£ Jahmyr Gibbs changed his number from #26 to #0 for reasons including but not limited to that he wore #1 at Georgia Tech and Alabama, but the interesting thing to me (that I thought about immediately before Gibbs brought it up) is that he was initially worried about the aesthetics of the #0: βI didnβt want it to look bad. I didnβt want the 0 to be too big or too small." (SI)
πΎπΉ Apparently a new cocktail is about to "dominate" the US Open ββ and it's only $39. I don't drink anymore but if I did and someone tried to charge me $39 for a novelty cocktail that is fundamentally a branding opportunity for IHG Hotels and MoΓ«t, they'd need the Jaws of Life to get my hands off their throat. (Fast Company)
ππ The top of the NBA season has a few revenge-on-old-team games. Can't wait. (ESPN)
ππΉ I mentioned it so I may as well send da video of John Tesh doing "Roundball Rock" live at Red Rocks.
That's it, that's all, I'm out.
I'm going to actually try to have a weekend, too, so I'll catch up with y'all on Monday. Until then, stay safe ββ and keep your stick on the ice.
