Wait WHAT!!??!
man, that shit been around forever and a day, he might as well have done ads for Canoe and grey flannel
“Relative to league average” is very important to factor in with today’s inflated stats!
You got 15 guys putting up Wilt and Kobe numbers offensively… Today’s players are better than ever but the pedestrian legendary performances are misleading. LeBron’s scoring is better than some prime LeBron years and that’s more about the game being different than him being better than he was when he was clearly better.
He's had a losing record in 5 out of his 8 years in the league. They only started winning when Piss Paul got there.
This dude Jason McIntyre is a fucking moron. This idiot said the ABA was only Dr. J and a bunch of plumbers and off-duty cops.
Uncle Chuck...
There is no intelligent sport talk
It's hot take fake debate constant inane sh*t show.
It says a lot when Cam and Mase talking nba and doing the pause game is more legit than 90% of Fox sports programs
@playahaitian posted this but there have been too many posts for me to dig through and quote it:
I thought this was a dumb take. Sticks and stones—To me, ignoring dumb shit is a grown man move; you gotta react in a way that negatively impacts your career or you’re a bitch? No man has that kind of power over me… Gobert is not better off for the way he reacted.
Then I listened to it and I thought it was even worse in context. He added “I guarantee you Kevin Durant wakes up every day wishing he had stole off on Draymond Green… The only reason Draymond did that is because he felt like ’This dude ain’t gon’ hit me.’”
1) I think KD is smarter than that and I thought Bomani was.
2) It’s wild that when you apply the standard Bomani highlighted in that tweet that he indirectly went on ESPN.com and called KD a bitch.

Also, Draymond got into the Gobert topic 9 minutes into his podcast and actually did unironically address the altercation. With his history, it’s wild that he says “Quite frankly, there are just some words as men that you just don’t say to men. And if you do choose to say those words, you also have to be ready to deal with whatever comes with that.”
It’s wild because we all know he did that with KD! I think Draymond’s take at least is not as bad as Bomani’s— he didn’t say you prove yourself a bitch by not retaliating— and he goes on to say that retaliating “doesn’t really work, take it from me, I know how that goes.” Which strongly suggests that we have an answer now as to what triggered the Jordan Poole KO!
It is a very interesting listen…
I guess not everybody has a mamba mentality. But when it's all over he'll still be a millionaire. That's all that matters.
It's the organization's fault for allowing Trae to do whatever he want on the court.
WORST. TAKE. OF. THE. CENTURY! and we're only 23 years IN!!!!
That aged well.
I agree with you, but unfortunately the era of sticks and stones been gone for a long while now. The sensitivity In today's social climate Is off the charts.
Well he said he is physically fine but waiting to feel like Zion. Man this nigga about to Ben Simmons them
Pels' Williamson: Will return 'when I feel like Zion'
Pelicans forward Zion Williamson said Tuesday that he is feeling fine physically and will return to the court "when [he feels] like Zion," acknowledging the mental hurdle of rejoining the team as it embarks on a postseason run.
Yup James Jones the GM for the suns.
We all are
I had Miami. Down 20 at the moment.
The thing about the play-in is anything can happen and none of these teams are that good…
I’ve had a feeling Minnesota will upset the Lakers… I have T’wolves 7 and the Lakers 8 in the west; I had Miami 7 and Chicago 8 in the east.
Heat getting that ass beat
Sports media spent all morning talking about the Celtics vs Miami
and making up 2K Trade scenarios for Trey Young...
Awww fuck I haven't been watching and didn't know the implications!
I need The Heat to pick up because I don't wanna see the bum ass Hawks get swept!
