Bob Myers reminds Warriors of his rare value with contract set to expire this summer

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:51 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — It most likely didn’t even cross his mind when Bob Myers left his seat Tuesday night to talk to Draymond Green during a heated moment.But that in-game encounter was another example of how invaluable the Warriors general manager and president of basketball operations is to the organization.Myers stepped down to the court in the fourth quarter and helped an irate Green refocus his attention to the task at hand.After getting whistled for his fifth foul of the night, Green was visibly frustrated near the Warriors’ bench when the coaching staff decided not to use its challenge to review the call that left him with no foul to give with 4:48 remaining in a seven-point game.Myers, standing behind the team’s bench, got Green’s attention and shared some words of encouragement. Video of the brief encounter showed Green shaking his head side-to-side when Myers started to talk. By the end of their conversation, though, Green seemed to nod in agreement befo...

The Atlantic Celebrates 20th Anniversary of Iraq War With Lavish Falsehoods About Iraq War

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:51 GMT

The U.S. media has recently been filled with retrospectives on the 20th anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War. Most of these outlets eagerly helped the George W. Bush administration sell the war, publishing lavish falsehoods about how Iraq posed a terrible danger to the U.S. (It did not.)So you might hope that in the past two decades, the same publications have learned the most basic facts about Iraq — and would steer clear of publishing obvious and stupendous errors yet again. You would hope in vain.One incredible example appeared in a March 13 article in The Atlantic by David Frum, who is best known for serving as a speechwriter for President Bush and coming up with the phrase “axis of evil” in the 2002 State of the Union address. Frum is now a staff writer at The Atlantic, which is probably the most prestigious magazine in America behind the New Yorker. The Atlantic is forthrightly endorsing Frum’s fabrication and will not respond to basic questions about it.As you may hav...

(CNN) — Un niño de 12 años de Milwaukee podría ir a la cárcel el resto de su vida tras ser acusado de matar a un adulto para robarle sus armas. La policía afirma que el acusado urdió el plan después de que la víctima, Brandon Felton, de 34 años, se negara a venderle sus armas, entre las que se encontraba un rifle AR-15.El acusado, cuyo nombre no se ha revelado debido a su edad, fue vinculado al caso después de que la policía encontrara un recibo de pizza de la noche del asesinato que había sido encargado utilizando el teléfono móvil del niño, según una denuncia penal.

Extra- small luxury SUVs are a great way to cruise around in luxury without paying an excessive amount. As an example, check out the Mercedes-Benz GLB. It has been one of Edmunds’ top performers in its class since it was introduced in 2020. It sports distinctive boxy styling, excellent technology and a comfortable ride. But in today’s highly competitive market, there’s always a new model aiming for the top spot. The GLB’s main rival, the BMW X1, was redesigned for 2023. The little Bimmer received updated styling, a roomier interior and many of BMW’s top-notch technology features. Which one is the better buy? Edmunds’ experts compared them to find out. POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines power both luxury SUVs. The X1’s 241-horsepower powerplant is not only more powerful than the GLB’s 221-horsepower mill, but it’s also more fuel-efficient. With all-wheel drive, the X1 delivers an EPA-estimated 28 mpg in combined city/highway driving, 3 more than the a...
