👥 Gossip OT WeeK
In Detroit’s 116–94 Game 7 rout of the Orlando Magic, Pistons fans loudly chanted Angel Reese’s name to distract Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. at the free-throw line — a taunt tied to Reese’s relationship with Carter and rumored past connection to Pistons big man Jalen Duren — as Detroit completed a dramatic comeback to eliminate Orlando from the playoffs.

😱 Did you know?
🏀 LeBron James has never recorded exactly 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in an NBA game (regular season or playoffs) 🤯 he did record that exact 27-7-7 line in the 2003 McDonald’s All‑American Game as a high‑schooler. Those are his career average.

📢 Stacker sports quote OT WeeK
@SimpleStacker calling “Joel ‘The Procedure’ Embiid” after dominant performance post appendix removal
I don't bet much, or hang out in the
degenerate gamblersstacker_sport section... but when I do, I like to beat @grayruby to the punch!You left too much meat on the bone. I just guaranteed myself a 13% return in less than a month.
(off topic) do you follow this account https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:plwoc7qdaug6wiv4mwjg2a6m
Great pastime content
No I don’t follow it. I didn’t have much luck on bluesky. I tried to talk to people about bitcoin and it didn’t go well.
Never tried to talk to no one, 😂 🤣

That's a harsh environment
Maybe it is different now. It was only a couple week after Trump had won the election I tested it out. They were probably still in shock.
I'm using it on the open vibe app, you have a bsky and fediverse cross posting been sharing once a day couple months, but not engaging really. But all the sources are there so it works almost as my old Twitter feed
Didn't have enough lightning firepower! (And wanted to keep some for the "No" contract on Bayern winning)...
(Zapping too much these days)
Is "The Procedure" really Embiids nickname now? I thought I made it up as a play on "The Process" (#1481884)
You named you got the votes you make the list, that's the beautiful thing about democracy 😆😅😂
Heh, thanks. I just wasn't sure if it was actually a nickname other people were using, since it seemed plausible.
You're officially a SN trend setter 😁
Yes in our circles he is now the Procedure. Well done. You will go down in history for saving Joel Embiid's career.
Jokic sure loves his mini horses.
Time to do some winning in the off season
A new column my biggest mistake of the week
Not a single line about the amazing Miami GP, Kimi Antonelli reaching his 3rd win in a row, i think only the 3rd in history to do that and the youngest to achieve the feat.
