Total BS. The Spurs originally were in Dallas under a different name, but not until 1967, 4 years after this story is happening. Never mind that big screens showing basketball (or any other sport - they started in baseball in the US actually) weren‘t even a thing until 1985. It seems like King isn‘t even trying now. For. The. Love.

julesG Oh recent history. Wouldn't have picked that up. BUT you're right, King should have done his homework. 3y
GingerAntics @julesG it‘s not even HARD to find. It took 2 google searches. Come on, man. I thought it would be interesting - it has time travel and I was a historical museum intern in Dallas - but little by little it‘s beginning to annoy the living daylights out of me. 3y

Birdsong28 If it's recent history then he would know that people can easily check this kind of stuff out how did he think he would get away with this? 3y
GingerAntics @Birdsong28 I would LOVE to ask him that. Is it supposed to be that his MC going back in time changed history and gave them technology 22 years early. 🤷🏼♀️ It‘s a hot mess in Part V. 3y
dylanisreading I'm definitely skipping this book, especially after reading your review! 3y
