Minnesota looks like a team on a mission, largely because Ant has turned into a legit superstar. On and off the hardwood - dude says and does all the right things .

I watched The Contestant on Hulu last night. It's a documentary about a game show contestant in Japan, and it's fucking WILD! In 1998, in what seemed like a live variety show, they had this guy living in a tiny windowless apartment, and he couldn't leave until he won $1 million Yen ($8,000) in swee...

I strongly recommend Nate Jackson's piece from yesterday, "I Wish I’d Never Become The NFL Weed Guy". Jackson is a former NFL tight end with the Broncos who has written a couple books and his work has appeared on Defector and, prior to that, Deadspin, among other places.

Also, I really like Brunson's game. I probably missed it, but how could Dallas give him up -- was his game not compatible with Doncic's? More or less in that they are both players who need to have the ball in their hands to get the best out of them. In comparison, Kyrie is a better three-point shoo...
