The Applause That Arrived Seventeen Years Late
The moment the motorcycle cut across the Jinjiang River in Mayang, most people saw first how cool it looked. The bike skimmed the surface, waves peeling away on both sides as if making room. Coolness was only the outermost layer. What gave the footage its weight was the 20 meters that sank into the water seventeen years earlier, and a man who never put that failure down.

Why Women’s Tennis Has a Training Advantage Men Can’t Buy
A popular argument says women’s tennis has a more mixed national map than men’s tennis because top women can hire high-level male sparring partners. A woman ranked in the top ten can pay an ATP player ranked around 800 to 900, or a male pro with no tour-level ranking, to hit with her. That man may earn little from prize money. He can still give her pace, spin, weight of shot and physical pressure that she does not face every week on the WTA tour. A top man cannot use the same solution. If he wants a hitting partner at his level or above, that partner has his own schedule and income. If he hires someone below his level, the training quality falls.

The Price of Locking Down a Star
Braun had a habit tonight guarding Alexander. Every time SGA caught the ball at the top of the arc, Braun didn’t look at the ball first. He turned his head to check where Jokic was. Only then did he turn back, set his feet, and tilt his body slightly to the left, nudging SGA right, toward Jokic.

The NBA's China Business Is Back. The Audience Has Changed.
In 1989, David Stern arrived at China Central Television carrying a videotape of NBA basketball. He had no scheduled meeting with a senior executive and no television contract to negotiate. According to accounts of the visit, he waited in the reception area until someone agreed to see him.

"It's just a joke, why are you so mad about it?
Laughing is an important part of life. Without the capability to find humour in the world, humanity would be a bleak dark cesspool, where everybody would rarely smile. The comedy genre is one of my favourite ones, because the possibility and imagination are boundless. Physical comedy, absurdist comedy, refferential and situational comedy- there are so many wonderful topics that can be touched upon to make people laugh. But despite being what I consider to be an important aspect of humanity, comedy is more divided than ever! Why is that exactly? Well, to start we should look at something that has been something of a hot topic for awhile... stand up comedy.
