Joe T., always working hard…

By Joe Torosian

Kick it!

In five years, everyone will be watching the WNBA.

I said it.

We will all be watching the Wemby National Basketball Association. (WNBA)

What can you add to Victor Wembanyama’s 41-point, 24-rebound performance while playing 49 minutes?

Nothing.

Last Add Wemby: He’s got the size, he’s got the talent, but it all works because he has a Jordan-like spite to his game. The dude didn’t grow into a basketball career. Instead, he was a basketball player who grew.

OKC plays great defense, that’s a great team, and the Spurs were exhausted in the fourth…but San Antonio found what it needed in double-OT.

Best way to watch a great basketball game? Have no emotional investment in either team.

And now I’m looking for a plausible exit off the Knicks bandwagon.

Watched the Washington Mystics & Dallas Wings play. Paige Bueckers is probably the most efficient player in the WNBA, and she absolutely shut down Sonia Citron.

With that said, as good as Bueckers is, she’s not a must-see.

Since I’ve got, legitimately, more Native American blood in me than Liz “I’m Gonna Have A Beer” Warren, I’m highly offended by the state of California forcing all public schools to drop mascots they deem offensive.

Like (language warning) the Arcadia Apaches, and Baldwin Park Braves. 

I know, right? Just hearing those titles puts us all on the verge of a crying selfie in our car. (Blank that Trump!)

If you want a terrifying team name, make your mascot the “White Liberals”….truly an unstoppable force. The girls’ teams can be called the “Karens.”

Last Add Knicks: For a mere $632, you can attend the Cavaliers-Knicks opener at Madison Square Garden. Of course, you’ll be sitting in the Hoboken Section, but you’ll be at the game.

Ohtani, Betts, Freeman, Tucker, Smith, Muncy, and Pages combined for five hits and zero runs in the Dodgers’ 1-0 loss to the Padres last night. 

#48—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth…

Last Add WNBA: This will sound silly, but one thing that really drags this league down—the current league, not the future Wembanyama National Basketball Association—is a lack of hands.

Turnovers are bad, but they become toxic to the eyes when they occur after a great pass. 

If it could be improved by 50%, it could change many opinions about the women’s game.

Note to Netflix: I don’t need to see Gina Carano versus Ronda Rousey…I don’t need to see Floyd Mayweather versus Manny Pacquiao duke it out from the wheelchairs…But what would be an interesting fight? 

Chet Holmgren versus Victor Wembanyama.

The Dude abides…
