Όπως γνωστοποίησε σήμερα η ομάδα, ο νέος προπονητής είναι ο Γιώργος Λιμνιάτης και θα αντικαταστήσει τον Βασίλη Σπανούλη.

Ο 53χρονος πέρασε ένα μέρος της περασμένης χρονιάς στο Μαρούσι, ενώ έχει εργαστεί και στο Λαύριο ως πρώτος προπονητής. Παράλληλα, έχει εργαστεί ως ασίσταντ κόουτς στην Νέα Κηφισιά, στην Κύμη στην ΑΕΚ και στην εθνική Γεωργίας.

I talked to Shaquille [O'Neal] recently for the first time since the exit interviews, which we conduct with our players to evaluate their performances in the just-concluded season and lay out the groundwork for the one ahead. This particular exit interview had attracted more attention than usual because Shaq had skipped his first appointment two weeks earlier. I told the media that Shaq's behavior demonstrated a lack of respect toward our staff and what we're trying to accomplish [...]

this makes perfect sense in an objective, hindsight kinda way, but

it's lowkey depressing to learn that even famous NBA stars must go through the dreaded annual humiliation ritual known as: the Performance Review

Do you know if there's any photos or videos or anything with Matt and Trey hugging each other?

I wish I could say I know of recorded hugs, but unfortunately Matt and Trey don't appear to be very huggy with each other, at least in public. It's more likely they'll hold hands (usually for photoshoots or during curtain calls), or put an arm around each other.

They do like putting their heads on each other's shoulders 😍

(I'm very 'look how they massacred my boy' about the awful photoshopping job they did on Trey in that last one, but I can appreciate the pose at least.)

There were a selection of old slides posted to eBay a few years ago that had some extremely tiny and pixelated pics of drunk hugs from the same night these were taken.

Here's a post by @cock-tail-party with the best of the bunch. Somewhere out there, a very rich person is sitting on some of the greatest M&T pics ever.

There is of course the Coop and Remer hug from BASEktball's Canned Ham, but it's in character, so it doesn't count imo.

Another that doesn't count is the air hug from the concert. But it's always nice to see it 😉

The lack of hugging became a meme in 2022 Matt & Trey fandom. This post by @behind-the-blow pretty much sums it up, lol. Most of the silliness was inspired by this post where it was pointed out that Trey looked like he wanted to hug Matt several times while celebrating their Empire Award win, but he doesn't get one. (Matt, please just hug the guy at this point! He's sung a whole song about wanting hugs, come on.)

We got desperate in our hunt for hugs and maybe counted this one from For Goodness Sake II, where Trey dives across a table and into Matt's lap, just before the table collapses.

If you're interested, there's lots of fanart out there that fills the hug-shaped void. Fair warning that a lot of it is shippy, so ignore the bullet points if RPF isn't your jam.

There's an absolutely gorgeous piece of art by UnfortunateJerry on AO3 of Matt and Trey hugging in the art chapter of this fic collection (note: NSFW art in the same chapter.) It's life changing.

There's an amazing selection of M/T art out there made by @konstance - this hugging one is a favourite of mine.

This adorable piece by @cock-tail-party

I also did this hug art collab with @cock-tail-party in 2022, inspired by the Where's Trey's Hug? meme 😊

This answer became much longer than I anticipated, but I hope it gave you something to chew on at least. If I've missed anything obvious, please someone let me know in the replies.

A Headcanon that WILL NOT leave me alone

Kagami and Himuro are some of the best hip hop dancers you’ll see.

Basketball wasn’t the only things these two picked up in America. They also took a couple of hip hop dance classes

The idea spurred from their mentor Alex. She had to go out of town for a few weeks and ofc her little students were upset that she’d be gone. She knew they’d keep practicing even though she wouldn’t be there, but she told them this could be a good time to explore other interests as well.

This comment would in turn make her disciples (mainly Kagami) panic slightly because they thought this was her way of gently telling them she didn’t want to be around them anymore (sensitive sweet little things)

After clearing up the confusion (and Alex promising over and over she wasn’t abandoning them) she just told them that they should try some other ways to entertain themselves besides basketball. She told them a big reason for this idea was due to the future weather forecasts which pretty much stated that there’ll be nonstop rain in LA the next few days.

After hearing this, the boys agreed that it would be good for them to find a nice indoor activity to fill their time.

While walking the boys home from their last session together for a while, she spotted a flyer that promoted hip hop dance lessons at the local community center and told the boys to give it a shot.

Kagami was a bit skeptical, but Himuro was a little more willing. In the end they both decided to try it out.

And oh boy did they take off with flying colors. By the time Alex returns from her trip, the two could proudly boast to her that their instructor had called them “some of the best dancers in the class”. The two were quick learners and picked up the dance moves with little to no trouble. Himuro credits it to playing street ball claiming that it helped them analyze and learn new moves faster. Alex wasn’t sure how sound the science was on that but she went along with it nonetheless.

And now they have something that they can teach her - her disciples now have a chance to be the mentors and theyre so thrilled about it.

Fast forward years later, and I can just picture all the miracle gen having a meetup (similar to that basektball game meetup all the schools had ^ ) someone brings up American hip hop, and Kagami and Himuro are just like-

THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHINE

And they just blow everyone away with an amazing hip hop performance

Got to the idea for thing from watching Matt Stefania dance tutorials- mainly 23 and trap Queen are the ones I had in mind
