Congrats to Jim on finishing this project! I only agreed with him perfectly on the Spurs (mostly because I'm less rigid about positions), but I enjoyed following this every day for the last few weeks. Here are my picks for each team.
To kickoff the 2026-2027 NBA season, the all-time starting five for every team + a 6th man. Washington Wizards: PG: Gilbert Arenas SG: Phil Chenier SF: Bob Dandridge PF: Elvin Hayes C: Wes Unseld 6th Man: Mitch Kupchak Toughest Call: John Wall or Arenas at PG Note: The 6th man could not start more than 50% of games with team

A vote for Abdul el-Sayed is an endorsement of the most antisemitic senatorial campaign in my lifetime. A vote for Mike Rogers is an endorsement of the most Islamophobic senatorial campaign. Please show grace to Michigan voters forced with the awful choice of no good choice.

It’s impossible to construct any standard of behavior toward religious minorities that El-Sayed fails but Rogers passes. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

Let’s be clear about something. El-Sayed chose to bring Hasan Piker into the Democratic primary for a critical swing-state senate race. He chose to tie himself to and elevate one of the most noxious, bigoted, divisive figures he possibly could. He campaigned with him five times. He spent election night of the primary at an β€œinfluencer” pool party with the guy. He set the tone for this entire campaign. Since then, El-Sayed has been given ample opportunity to disavow Piker, to address the concerns of Jewish Dems, and to bring the party together. He’s rejected almost every single one. More often, he’s dug in and doubled down β€” as he’s doing now. Christ, the man can’t even condemn an β€œit’s Jews making your groceries expensive” ad. There’s one person and person alone who’s responsible for dividing Democrats and injecting groyper-style noxiousness into Michigan Democratic politics. His name is Abdul El-Sayed.

Great and important episode of @LastWeekTonight on Sunday on what the racist right-wing streamers are doing with the Republican party. Now do it for Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur and the other racist left-wing streamers doing the same to some Democrats.

Michigan is not Midwest at all. It's literally *Eastern* Time Zone. Michigan can hang out with Ohio and Western PA in its own region. Can't call it the Mideast, because that name exists, but you can call it Great Lakes or Rust Belt, but Midwest it ain't. teapawt.net/achester99/status/2111…
Michigan is core Midwest, absolutely as Midwest as it gets.

LeBron needs 75 assists this year to catch Jason Kidd for 3rd all time and 536 to catch Chris Paul for 2nd all time. (He had 432 last year, but 575 and 589 the previous two years.) He needs 28 steals to catch Gary Payton for 5th all time and 97 to catch Michael Jordan for 4th.
