SACRAMENTO -- Steph Curry said "Hello" to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who peered vacantly back at him. It was that moment that Curry realized that something was amiss.

The fabric of society has actually already been torn, unbeknownst to the "olds". "The revolution will not be televised", Gil Scott-Heron said, broadcast wide by George Clinton. The revolution was not televised. It was spread through Whatsapp, Discord, and Telegram. It was E2E encrypted, sent through the tubes of the internet. It slithered through the store-and-forward substrate, the routers, the switches. It crossed networks and ISPs. It triggered notifications, resentment, agression, resignation. The revolution was not televised, it was silently distributed without the knowledge or express consent of the NBA/NFL/MLB. And it is too late.

Mark Daigneault asked SGA to hit some wind-sprints. A silent stare. He is 26 years old.
Anthony Edwards took a lap around Crypto Arena. It was brisk. He is 24 years old.
Chet Holmgren has a broccoli cut.

The Thunder are the new Warriors. How did Oklahoma overtake the Bay Area? The same way that Bryan Johnson remains immortal. The path to greatness is slick with the spilled blood of the young. The Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan's many steps had an inch thick clot from the souls of the youth. It is a great American past time to milk dry the next generation, just ask Britney.

So the next time the clerk at the Dollar General who's approaching 30, who owns no property, and who knows the Payday Loan officer on a first name basis doesn't smile back after you purchase a gallon of rBGH milk just remember, it is because of you.
