NBA

Ok, so it’s the NBA finals in North America right now, and tonight is Warriors vs Raptors and everyone is just SO INVESTED in the dam game. For real, everyone’s picking sides and all and because I live in the GTA (Great Toronto Area for y’all lovely non-Canadians), everyone’s EXTRA HYPED UP about the game. And since I like to mix everything with PJO, yours truly wrote a headcanon about The Seven plus Nico, Calypso, and Will enjoying the games and picking sides.

Leo: Oh you’re gonna use that card again? Well-

*everyone’s comfy and settled in on the giant couch at Percy and Annabeth’s new apartment in New Rome*

Nico: Okay guys, the game’s starting.

Percy: Everyone got their blue milkshakes?

Leo: You’re the only one who drinks blue milkshakes Percy.

Percy: Shut Up Valdez you’re just jealous because you don’t know how to make a proper milkshake. Honestly, is it harder than building Argo II?

Calypso: Guys, be nice. We’re trying to watch a game here.

Leo: No offence, but do you have any idea what basketball is babe?

Calypso: Nope, but I’m excited to find out...

Annabeth (wearing literally any accessory related to basketball and the Warriors): LET’S GO GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS!

Piper: Well someone’s hyped up.

Annabeth: Why wouldn’t I be? I’m honestly so proud...

Leo: Okay everyone, which side are you on?

Annabeth: Ummmm... are you really asking me that?

Leo: Well for you it’s obvious. Percy?

Percy: I’m gonna be on the Warriors side.

Leo: Sweet. Cal?

Calypso: Honestly, I don’t know. Whose side are you on?

Leo: WARRIORS! *breaking the word down into syllables*

Calypso: I guess I’m just gonna go with the Warriors then.

Piper and Jason: LET’S GO WARRIORS! *in sync*

Nico: I honestly don’t know why I’m here...

Will: Come on Neeks, it’s better than Mythomagic!

Nico: First of all, HOW DARE YOU SOLACE?! Second of all, I’m on the winner’s side.

Will: Fine then. I’m with the majority.

Leo: Hazel?

Hazel: Haha, I don’t really like being competetive, so I guess I’m on the winner’s side too.

Nico: Ya Solace, my strategy is the best strategy.

Will: Whatever.

Hazel: What about you Frank?

Percy: You kidding, right? Our boy is on our side, right Frank?

Jason: Ya dude, you with us right?

Frank: Uhhh, yep. Of course I am...!

Annabeth: Alright guys, the game’s starting.

After Q1

Jason: Man, what?

Piper: Dang it.

Annabeth: Shhh... *glares at the screen*

Percy: Annabeth, the Quarter’s over-

Annabeth: SHUT UP I’M MAKING STRATEGIES!

Calypso: But you’re not playing... they are?

Annabeth: Doesn’t matter, I need to make sure they’ll win.

Leo: Woohoo, Annabeth is going N-U-T-S!

Everyone except Leo: Shut it repair boy.

Leo: Ouch.

Percy: Okay guys, they’ll do better the next quarter.

Will: Ya, they will.

Jason: We can’t let our spirits go down.

Percy: YA! LET’S GO WARRIORS!

*everybody except Frank and Nico chant. Everyone gives Nico stink-eyes, but no body notices Frank because he’s pushing himself in the pillows.*

Time passes on...

After Q4

Will: Dam it.

Percy: They’ll win next time.

Annabeth: Ugh...

Hazel: Alright, we should be going. You ready Frank?

Frank: Yep.

Percy: Awww I wish you guys could stay the night.

Jason: Sorry dude, duty calls. The downsides of being Pontifex, amirite?

Percy: Dump out your ego in the beach while you’re going. Actually never mind, don’t stain the water.

Hazel: Let’s go!

Jason: I’m coming! Bye Pipes... *smooches*

Piper: See ya next week!

The Romans: Bye everyone!

Hazel: Wait guys, where’s Frank?

Jason: I swear if he turned into a snake again...

Percy: GET HIM OUT!

Piper: I’m sure he’s around here somewhere...

Percy: OH HELL NAH! GET HIM OUT OF MY HOUSE!

Annabeth: Calm down Seaweed Brain, the snake’s smaller than you, there’s no reason for you to be afraid of it...! Honestly sometimes you’re just so unreasonable-

Jason: Maybe he turned into a spider?

Annabeth: OH HELL NAH! A FRANK HUMAN BEING IS DYING TONIGHT! GET THAT FURRY THING OUTTA HERE!

The End.

Oh wait, there’s more...!

Meanwhile, in the Washroom

Frank: LET’S GO RAPTORS!

*pulls out the autographs of every single member on the team*

Frank: I LOVE Y’ALL!

Zion Williamson NBA Draft Highlights 🏀 🔥

Archives Hashtag Party: Artifact

This week, the Milwaukee Bucks clinched the NBA’s best record, giving them the league’s top mark for the first time since the 1973-74 season. That season was also the last in which the Bucks claimed the league’s Most Valuable Player award (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and the last time the team appeared in the NBA Finals. This year’s Bucks hope to repeat both of those feats in the months to come. In the meantime, enjoy this team-signed ball from the 1973-74 Bucks, which was presented to Mayor Henry Maier by the team and can be found the Maier Papers at the UWM Archives (Milw SR 44, Box 259).

The ball includes 12 signatures: Head coach Larry Costello, future Hall of Famers Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson, and players Lucius Allen, Bob Dandridge, Mickey Davis, Terry Driscoll, Russ Lee, John McGlocklin, Curtis Perry, Cornell Warner, and Ron Williams.
