Got told a dope story by someone during game six about how their friend got his eight-year-old, basketball-obsessed son a Josh Hart jersey, and told him a dictum along the lines of, “If you’re ever going to make it into the NBA, your best chance is learning to play like this guy.” 💙 🧡

Carl Aikens took a bunch of his bros on a trip to Milan and came back with this five-minute edit by Jeff Cecere and Ritt Pontepsiripong. Marcello’s flip 5-0 on that Centrale rail was too good.

“Style, spirit, soul. Whatever the change he caused, it was not language that did it. Dylan Rieder was no rhetorician, was not inspired to speak a movement into existence.” Skate Bylines featured Kyle Beachy’s piece about Dylan Rieder from The Most Fun Thing.

“Attempts at urban revival can go a long way for relatively little money when they attract a natural constituency of users. Obvious as that may sound, it’s the opposite of how planners in San Francisco and elsewhere have historically operated. The notion that a great public space is defined by architecture first, people second, was so ingrained in the city’s thinking that it took the squalor brought on by the pandemic to reverse it.” The New York Times has a piece about S.F’s U.N.
