2) Today is a day for the rest of us to do our part to carry that mission forward.
Below is a recorded testimony from one of them.
Never again. And may we never forget.

1) Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Three of my wife’s grandparents were Holocaust survivors. Though they are no longer with us, each devoted their life to ensuring future generations never forget...
New story for
@yahoosports.bsky.social:
I asked Zion Williamson whether, given the Pelicans’ investment in Derik Queen, he feels his time in NO may be winding down.
“New Orleans is...where I want to be. But at the end of the day...the NBA is a business."

"I have nothing bad to say about none of the teammates, none of the coaches, but it's just hard to find a rhythm playing with really great players and getting little short spurts."

ICYMI, wrote about Deni Avdija, for @yahoosports.bsky.social:
Deni Avdija's reaction to the Wizards trading him for two first round picks? “I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot. And seeing that, it was like, ‘They really believe in me, they really want me.’”
Wrote about Avdija's breakout, for @yahoosports.bsky.social:

And if you want to see how far Avdija has come, here's a video of him trying to dunk from when he was younger
That picture is from a story I did on Avdija in 2019 for
@bleachereport.bsky.social where I spent a few days with Avdija in Israel.
You can read that full story here:

Also, here's a picture of the All-Star Saturday Night hoop Avdija had hanging on his childhood bedroom in Israel

One of my favorite anecdotes from this story is Deni Avdija talking about how Russell Westbrook would haze him as a rookie:
“10 PM before a road trip, he texts me a snack list… Wavy Lay’s barbecue chips, candy I’d never heard of. No stores even carry it.”
Deni Avdija is now an All-Star. But just 3 years ago he was unsure about his future in the league.
“Do I really belong here?” he’d ask himself.
I spoke to Avdija about that journey, for @yahoosports.bsky.social:

On its one-year anniversary, here some of my favorite Luka trade related scoops from A HOLLYWOOD ENDING:
- Bronny shared the Shams tweet in the Lakers group chat
- AD wished the group good luck and then left the chat
- LeBron used an emoji to express his anger
- The trade was held up by Shabbat
LOVE this story from @conororr.bsky.social on Bob Weir's obsession with flag football
www.si.com/nfl/bob-weir...
A Sam Darnold-Patriots Super Bowl would be a real nice blow to the groin for Jets fans.
Seems like a good time to share that if you want to read more about the Jeanie Buss era of the Lakers and the franchise's relationship with LeBron, well, there's a whole book:
www.amazon.com/Hollywood-En...
Anecdotes include:
- Linda Rambis made $24 million off the sale. Kurt made $8
- Jeanie once told Jesse Buss, her younger half-brother, "You should've never been born."
- The Buss siblings drew annual ownership distributions, which, after taxes, netted them anywhere from $3-5 million
Just incredible reporting and an incredible story here from @baxterholmes.bsky.social , who dove into the question seemingly no one was asking: Why exactly is it that Jeanie Buss decided to sell the Lakers?

BIG thanks to Elix Michaelson for having me on @cnn.com last night to talk about A HOLLYWOOD ENDING.
