Jusuf Nurkić got the last laugh in his rivalry with Draymond Green this season. The Phoenix Suns center trolled Green after the Golden State Warriors' Play-in
Let’s go back to the summer of 2019, a more innocent time in our nation’s history. None of us knew what a KN95 mask was. White collar workers actually traveled for business rather than spending all day having to mute a Zoom mic anytime they had to fart.

Even those closest to the Golden State Warriors are confused by how the play-in works — and explaining it almost made Draymond Green late to practice. On his eponymous podcast, Green started his Monday episode with a preview of Tuesday’s Warriors-Kings matchup by explaining the play-in situation. He included a conversation he had with his mother-in-law Monday to illustrate how complicated the whole thing is: “I had a conversation with her that almost made me late for practice today,” Green said,...
