Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels has won the 2024-25 NBA Most Improved Player of the Year award. He’s the fifth player to average at least 14.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.0 steals in a season, joining Michael Ray Richardson, Magic Johnson, Alvin Robertson and Michael Jordan.



My communities describe me better than my cv! (spez-ial shout out to the loser!)

Nice list although some suggested alternatives are borderline usable (or worse) for normies

Which one?

Dyson Daniels wins MIP

Sooner or later they'll break in a house with someone similar to them that will welcome them with a semi automatic...

Then I can say, based on his posts, he does not think it's possible :D

To me it's Williams because he felt very disrespected, while AD may still have some compassion left

Lakers out of playoff: who's laughing more, Mark Williams or AD?
After the Lakers collapsed without a center against Minnesota, Mark Williams posted a single smile on on x and a not-too-cryptic-story on instagram after the Lakers' elimination while AD remained silent but I bet he's grinning too.
Who do you think is smiling more?
William's story:


They massively financially helped and "sustained democracies" that then welcomed USA's products and culture, growing and becoming world powers themselves (like Italy). The B.E. had a similar chance, but way before, and they just did prey on everything they could (like India or Egypt) until they were kicked out.

This. It has been everywhere here around, if someone denies it, is lying! It was nothing in the end but in the meantime I tried Zen (based on FF) and it's aesthetically more pleasing to me

Sorry, there just are no alternatives to Photoshop, with Affinity Photo being the closest replacement nowadays, to the classical PS functions. Affinity Designer feels the same for Illustrator.

I don't see this ending well nor far...

Spurs' Stephon Castle named Rookie of the year

Castle makes it back-to-back Rookie of the Year winners for San Antonio


My impression on politico Europe was not that bad, although not properly a people's newspaper

Curry wins Teammate of the Year


Stephen Curry has won the NBA's Twyman-Stokes Teammate of the Year Award, which "recognizes...selfless play, on- and off-court leadership as a mentor and role model to other NBA players, and commitment and dedication to team."

Distancing but no head-in-the-sand: again, there will be problems and if I could change some investment or stock something to help me in the near future, I'd do, but I think it will have marginal impact on me. The most impacted will be people not having the chance to plan anything, and their problems will reflect to anyone else

There will be no drama, as it happened with eggs some weeks ago. I don't mean it will not be a problem for someone, but media will inflate how people will be affected or not be affected

Did you refer to the hamburger menu on top left?

A search engine?

Not at all

Chocolate or Parmigiano

April 25 is in fact Italy's day to commemorate the liberation from nazi-fascism

Sorry guys, that also happened 40 years ago in the form of "retired guy has some free time and starts buying 2 newspapers, one of which is just political propagabda"... That's definitely not on social media, they just amplified the phenomena

That guy is the only US citizen making worse decisions than his government and being proud LOL

Tank race update: Lamelo out for the season
Minor procedures are cited as the reason of his unavailability, per Shams

Utah's Clarkson is out for the season (fascitis) - the tank race is so on!
NEWS: Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson underwent a medical procedure to address plantar fasciitis in his left foot. He will be out for the remainder of the season while he continues to receive treatment, team says.

Pels Trey Murphy suffers season ending injury
Shams reports: New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III has suffered a season-ending torn labrum in his right shoulder, sources tell ESPN. Murphy was in the midst of a career NBA season in his fourth campaign, averaging 21.2 points and posting his third year with 150+ made 3s

Kyrie injured: the Nico curse is real
After the infamous trade that led Dončić to LA (and will go down as the worst ever, even worse than the 2013 Nets-Celtics trade), the counterpart AD got injured, but that's unfortunately common, so much that one of Davis' nickname is "Street clothes", plus centers Lively and Afford went down, Martin and Washington are battling injuries and even Kyrie had a problem on his knee.
Karma is real...

Dirk attends Luka's debut in LA "to support his guy"

Dirk Nowitzki is synonymous with the Dallas Mavericks, having spent 21 years with the team, but he'll be cheering on a different team on Monday. The Mavericks…

Even Mavs' legend Dirk Nowitzki supports Luka. While that is not a statement against Mavs GM it is the closest he could go without dissing the Mavs

Pels trade C Theis to OKC for "draft compensation"
The New Orleans Pelicans are trading center Daniel Theis and draft compensation to the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell ESPN.
While a minor trade, it seems to be very important to OKC, just the bit they needed

Who's worse? Nico Harrison (traded Luka) or Vlade Divac (wanted Bagley instead of Luka)?


They will go down in history as the worst GMs in NBA history probably, no way they are at the same level with Patterson (Portland's GM who chose Oden instead of KD) or Bob Bass (Charlotte's GM who picked Kobe than traded him).
But whose the worst between them?

Mavs' C Dereck Lively out months due to fractured foot
Daniel Gafford will see more playing time in Lively's absence.
Bad news for the Mavs, bigs are longer to heal and he may need some court time to get back to his best

Cavs top Thunder in the best game of the season so far

The Cavaliers and Thunder played the game of the year on Wednesday

Thunder shut down Mitchell but the rest of the Cavs, lead by Garland, Allen and Mobley, won the game even without a big contribution in point from the All Star point guard. A game to be seen!

Klay's new number 31
We all know Klay Thompson had #11 on the Warriors, but going to the Mavs, that number is used by Irving, as they are 1 (Hardy) and 21 (Gafford). He had 11 again and 5 on team USA, but Mavs' 5 is Grimes.
Maybe I read too much on this, but Klay choosing 31 when the former splash brother Curry has 30 looks like Kobe when he switched to 24.
Am I the only one who thought that?

3x Champ Danny Green retires

Green wasn't the first 3-and-D guy, but he became the model


With Seattle and Las Vegas coming, what western team should join the east?


Imo best option is Minnesota, but New Orleans or Memphis are somehow viable too
