In the 1979 film Stalker, the eponymous Stalkers are informal, illegal guides to a blighted Zone somewhere in Eastern Europe. In the middle of the Zone, it is said, there is a room that grants the true heart’s desire. And we learn, secondhand, about the tale of one Stalker named Porcupine.
Porcupine brought his brother into the Zone, where he perished in an accident. Porcupine, grieving, entered the room, expecting that his brother would be brought back to life. When he arrived back in civilization, though, he unexpectedly came into a bunch of money.

During his senior year of college at Yeshiva, a small Jewish university in Washington Heights, New York City, Ryan Turell averaged 27.1 points per game — leading all of men’s college basketball. Some came to calling him “the Jewish Larry Bird,” given his blond mop and prowess from long distance, shooting over 46% from beyond the three-point arc. In 2022, the Motor City Cruise, the Detroit Pistons’ G League affiliate, selected him 27th overall in the NBA G League Draft. And with that, Turell made history.
You see, Turell isn’t just Jewish...

The 2023 edition of the NBA Draft was the most-watched talent dispersal ever on any network, according to Nielsen. The first round averaged 4,928,000 viewers across ESPN and ABC, up 24% from last year’s first round on both platforms. It peaked with 6,085,000 viewers in the 8 p.m. Et quarter hour.
Rumors of massive trades in the first round never happened, and the drama of who would be the No. 1 pick was decided two months ago at the draft lottery, as France’s multitalented Victor Wembanyama was heralded as the best prospect since LeBron James began tearing up the NBA in 2003-2004.
The No. 2 and No. 3 picks were allegedly coveted by any number of teams, but the selections went pretty much to form, with Alabama’s Brandon Miller landing in Charlotte at No. 2, followed by Scoot Henderson of the G-League at No. 3 to the Portland Trailblazers.
Overall, the NBA Draft averaged 3,743,000 viewers across...

There are certain things you can count on. The sun rises in the East. The house always wins. A watched pot never boils.
Add one more to that list: The San Antonio Spurs were always going to tab 19-year-old French talent Victor Wembanyama as the first pick in the 2023 NBA draft. The 7-foot, 5-inch center was heralded as the best prospect since LeBron James, the league’s all-time scorer.
The real intrigue unfolded during the rest of round one at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY.
With Wembanyama a foregone conclusion, the No. 2 pick by the Charlotte Hornets was the subject of speculation. Trade rumors and talk that the team would take a guard were ended when the team took Alabama’s 6-9 forward Brandon Miller.
That left the Portland Trailblazers on the clock at No. 3. That pick had also been severely scrutinized, with the team’s star guard Damian Lillard...
