Canadian psychologist and author Dr Jordan Peterson has announced he’s quitting Twitter after receiving “an endless flood of vicious insults” on the platform. Peterson’s departure comes after he was criticised for a controversial twee t that shamed plus-size model Yumi Nu ’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. On Monday, Peterson explained that he stopped using Twitter three weeks ago and instead instructed his staff to post to his account. However, as he started using the app again, he said his “life got worse again almost instantly.” “The endless flood of vicious insult is really not something that can be experienced anywhere else,” he continued his Twitter thread. “I like to follow the people I know but I think the incentive structure of the platform makes it intrinsically and dangerously insane.” He added: “So I told my staff to change my password, to keep me from temptation, and am departing once again. If I have something to say I’ll write an … [Read more...] about Jordan Peterson ‘departs’ from Twitter after criticising Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model

Nikola Jokic plays for Denver. And for Serbia. Both places can once again make the same claim: For the second consecutive season, they’re home to the NBA 's Most Valuable Player. The league announced Wednesday night that Jokic won back-to-back MVP awards. The Nuggets' big man is the second consecutive international player to win two in a row, after Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo — from Greece — was honored in 2019 and 2020. This marks the first time international players have won the award in four consecutive seasons. Canada’s Steve Nash went back-to-back for Phoenix in 2005 and 2006, followed by Germany’s Dirk Nowitzki for Dallas in 2007. International players finished 1-2-3. Jokic got 65 first-place votes and 875 points from the panel of writers and broadcasters. Philadelphia's Joel Embiid was second with 26 first-place votes and 706 points; Antetokounmpo was third, with nine first-place votes and 595 points. Devin Booker of Phoenix wound up fourth. … [Read more...] about Nikola Jokic captures 2nd straight NBA MVP title

The 1980s Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most dominant teams in sports. At a time when professional basketball was on its heels, the Lakers brought new excitement: Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird, Jerry Buss and the glitzy Forum Club, and an up-tempo flow offense. That’s the story of HBO’s big-budget series Winning Time , whose Season 1 finale aired on Sunday, May 8. David Sims, Vann R. Newkirk II, and Ross Andersen—three of The Atlantic ’s biggest basketball fans—get together to discuss the series. What do they make of the accusations from former players that the show is inaccurately over-the-top? Does the producer Adam McKay’s style energize and streamline the show—or just add distraction on top of the glut of story lines? And how do you dramatize a history with a well-known outcome? Listen to their discussion here: The Review : Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | Pocket Casts The following transcript has been edited for length and clarity.

Kobe Bryant—ruthless competitor, borderline sociopath, legend, and one of the most polarizing players in the history of the NBA. The folklore surrounding Bryant reads like an urban legend : He ventures out into the desert for 40-mile bike rides in the middle of the night, he practices without the ball in a zen-esque manner, he starts training hours before he’s supposed to. In Bill Simmons’ The Book of Basketball, the Grantland editor in chief reveals an email sent to him that perfectly sums up the difference between the almost-mythical Bryant and his muse, Michael Jordan. "[A] reader named Chris Rider sent me a fascinating hypothesis: He thought you could define what was most important to every basketball star in one word. For Jordan, Chris believed it was winning. ("Hands down, all he wanted to do was win. And that’s overused for a lot of athletes but not him.") For Kobe, it was "greatness."("Yes he’s going to win some, but only because he wants to be considered great and that … [Read more...] about Kobe Bryant’s ‘Muse’: A Honest Look at an NBA Legend

Twenty years ago, Kobe Bryant made his NBA debut as an 18-year-old fresh out of high school. He went scoreless in the game. Tonight, the five-time champion, third-all-time leading scorer, and 18-time All Star will play the last game of his career in what is sure to be an emotional send-off to the Los Angeles Lakers great. Bryant, known by the moniker he gave himself , the Black Mamba, and the Lakers face off against the Utah Jazz at home to end the season. He announced his retirement in a poem last November, in part writing, “My heart can take the pounding / My mind can handle the grind / But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.” Indeed, the past few seasons have been rocky for Bryant, and the Lakers for that matter. Los Angeles is missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season, something that seemed unheard of during the Phil Jackson years of coaching, from 1999 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2011. In the team’s 68-year history, the Lakers have missed the playoffs only … [Read more...] about Kobe Bryant’s Last Game

Tiger Woods arrived at Southern Hills on Sunday (Monday NZT) and, after all the negativity of defending champion Phil Mickelson withdrawing, suddenly there is a hugely positive light set on the 104th US PGA Championship. While Mickelson pulled out at the weekend - continuing a three-month competitive absence in the midst of the controversy of his involvement with the Saudi breakaway tour - Woods has been enjoying a highly unfamiliar time out of the spotlight. But now the attention switches to the 46-year-old. Unless Woods is in Oklahoma to see the wind come sweeping down the plain, he is there to prepare for his extraordinary comeback at Augusta. Without a competitive appearance in 17 months after a car crash in which he almost lost his right leg, Woods incredibly made the cut before finishing in the top 50.
