Why did Koby Altman get arrested What we know about Cavaliers executives latest controversy so far



Cleveland Cavaliers president of basketball operations Koby Altman finds himself in an unwanted controversy. Altman was reportedly arrested and charged with operating a vehicle impaired on Friday night. ESPN further revealed that he was charged with "committing a marked lanes violation and OVI."

The incident occurred in Celevaland itself around 9:00 PM. The Ohio State Highway Patrol Troopers stopped Altman before charging him with OVI. Here's what ESPN wrote:

"Troopers initiated a traffic stop and during their interaction with the driver indicators of impairment were observed," the OSHP said, according to multiple reports. "The driver was subsequently placed under arrest for OVI and soon after offered a breath test which he refused."

The Cavaliers executive cooperated respectfully with the troopers, said the Police. Meanwhile, the organization has noted the incident and released a statement too.

"We are aware of an incident involving Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman," the Cavaliers said in a statement Saturday. "We are currently gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

The unfortunate incident took place just a day before (Friday, September 15th) Koby Altman's 41st birthday on Saturday, September 16th.

The Cavaliers will hope the controversy circling Koby Altman doesn't force them to take strict actions against him. He has been integral to the franchise's success over the last decade. The Cavaliers have seen plenty of extreme lows, but their peak has been just as good.

Altman joined the team in 2012. He was the team's director of pro personnel during their 2016 championship run. Altman took over as assistant general manager in their title defense season. The team made the finals again but failed to get over the hump. Altman was the GM in 2018 when the Cavs made their last finals run, which ended in a 4-0 result against the Warriors.

Cleveland went into rebuild mode after that season. They were among the bottom-feeders in the Eastern Conference. Many questioned the team's brass and front office for the lack of direction in their roster-building process.

However, in 2021, the Cavaliers were back to within touching distance of a playoff spot. They finished with the seventh-best record. Darius Garland, their 2019 first-round pick, and center Jarrett Allen made the All-Star teams that season.

The following year, the Cavaliers acquired Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz and finally made the playoffs without LeBron James for the first time since 1998.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn
