This would be the unquestioned highlight f about 98% of NBA careers. Not sure it cracks Nique’s top 8.
November 28, 1992: A Dominique Wilkins putback slam during Atlanta's 112-100 win over Miami.
Wilkins—who ruptured his Achilles tendon 10 months earlier—finished with 32 PTS. Kevin Willis added 25 PTS/15 REB for the Hawks. Glen Rice scored 30 PTS for the Heat.

Trump has never once in his life extemporaneously used the phrase "western civilization." He was once asked about western liberalism and thought they were talking about California Democrats. One of the more blatant tells for a Miller-written screed.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Robinho is back in the news due to the fact his talented 17-yr-old son is attracting interest from clubs like Man United. Good luck to his son on his promising career - of course none of his father’s behaviour reflects in any way on him - but let’s not forget what a truly abhorrent person Robinho is

Screens are often used to shield child sex-abuse victims when they testify, but that can conflict with a defendant’s constitutional rights, the Supreme Court noted Monday.

It's CRAZY.
The Thunder are on pace to go 77-5, lost their only game of the year by two points, are outscoring their opponents by 16.9 points per game, and as of now are scheduled to have three picks in the lottery. Also their second best player has yet to play in a single game.
