Seriously though, nice work on a super interesting and thought provoking piece. Cool to hear Matt's story -- you never really know the context or intention behind someone's words unless you inquire further. Glad you stayed curious and wanted to find out. The journalism world (sports and otherwise) needs more minds like yours and Matt's. Enjoyed the read!
The tension between satire and responsibility is what makes this so fascinatiing. Most accounts chase virality, but Matt chose to self-correct and teach media literacy after fooling the system. The Stephen A clip is a perfct case study in how credibility infrastructre collapses once momentum kicks in, nobody questioned it because the format matched expectations. I've seen similar dynamics in corporate communications where polished aesthetics override source verification, makes you wonder how much of what we consume is just vibe-checking rather than actual verification.
A minority stake in Golden State Group, the holding company for the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, is up for sale, according to people familiar with the matter.
The 5% stake values the Warriors’ holding company at above $11 billion,
The Warriors are considered the most valuable team in the NBA and have the highest revenue in the league. The stake comes with a GSG board seat, court-side seats for GSG teams and access to the ownership lounge, the people added. GSG also houses the WNBA’s Valkyries, the NBA G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors, the Chase Center arena and Thrive City, an 11-acre development outside of the arena.
OT: Guess who's the first NBA player this season to be suspended for exceeding the flagrant foul limit? (Hint: He's an incredibly virtuous fight de-escalator)
Edit: Yep, I was right. Apparently, he did this against the Spurs last night. He'll be suspended for the game tomorrow in Milwaukee, but I'm sure the Wolves won't need him to beat the Bucks.
Thanks for ferreting out this fantastic tale, Daniel. This kind of epiphany could not occur in the political realm, only basketball. There's a lesson in that somewhere.
You had me at "fooled sports media".

5% of 11 billion? I can put together $500 over the next couple days... all we need is 1.1 million more of you guys. Who's with me?
I'm in! Lol
I know 500 people that would loan me $1 (at significant interest), so count me in.
Ok...now we're getting somewhere! So far, me, Ando, G&B, and Sab. Still need approximately 1.1 million more people...

I don't like Rudy but this is just a ridiculous flop by Wemby.

Not a flop. Didn't have time to anticipate the contact and react to it.
Is it the guy who got a flagrant foul type 2 for elbowing Mark Williams to the ribs while he was in the air?

Another top notch post from the Gold Blooded Poet Laureate! That is such a great story. My heart even went out to Ohio for a moment :D.
WOW!
Thanks for ferreting out this fantastic tale, Daniel. This kind of epiphany could not occur in the political realm, only basketball. There's a lesson in that somewhere.
so good it has to be real.
You're the best, Daniel. Thank you for bringing the heart.
Great stuff!
Love this, Daniel. What a creative way to cover the story! Please send some love Matt’s way, too.
You may be Gold Blooded, but that MF'er is straight cold blooded.
At least he is willing to acknowledge the gift they received in 16.
Great stuff, Daniel, and, admirable....initiative! Loved your last line...in CAPS, no less! lol
Speaking YOUR LANGUAGE lol. Love the passion.
