The Bears gave us Mike Ditka and shitty SNL skits. That cloud is there for a reason.

It’s a good joke. Get a life.

You know Mirotic is an awful defensive player, too, right?

You could write this same rosy paragraph for, like, 300 other schools in the U.S.

Steve Smith is my favorite.

Who wins in a basketball game? It’s the team with the most points, right? Kidd is sixth all-time in career assists per game of retired players (8.7). Kidd is fifth all-time among point guards in career rebounds per game (6.3). Kidd played a Glove level of defense. But Kidd’s scoring contributions were mediocre. Kidd’s…

I get what you’re saying, but his ‘complete game’ lacked an offensive piece. He has the percentages of a volume shooter, while not shooting the ball all that much. He didn’t get to the line, either. You can take all the intangibles, I’ll take a point guard who can score.

I’ll wipe my ass with it. Thanks.

So we agree on six players who were better than Kidd?

No, he’s not. I’m sure many people have fond memories of Jason Kidd, but he’s nowhere near top 10 in League history. Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Allen Iverson, Magic Johnson, Pistol Pete, Cousy, Walt Frazier, Isiah Thomas, Gary Payton, John Stockton, Earl Monroe, Kevin Johnson, Tim Hardaway, Steve Nash. And that…

He should have been traded shortly after his rookie season (highest value). Colangelo never pulled the trigger. He should have been traded before or early on in the 16-17 season (medium value). Colangelo never pulled the trigger. Now Philly is stuck with him but have too many mouths to feed to truly develop him. It’s…

Meanwhile, Amir Johnson has played 75 minutes through five games. I don’t know what the Sixers gain by playing Amir for 15 a night. Those minutes need sent elsewhere. Play Saric 30, carve out a role for Okafor, give extra tick to Anderson/Luwawu/Korkmaz. Philly’s already shitting the bed on frontcourt rotations and…

Prime Dwight? Why would I be referring to prime Dwight? My takes don’t originate from a half-decade ago.

Drummond is still holding the “goofy and overrated” torch he took from Dwight Howard.

The Lin injury hurts, but Brooklyn added Russell, Carroll, and Crabbe this offseason. Atlanta and Chicago set their talent on fire. Phoenix is obviously trash. Dallas and Sacramento are an injury away from trash.

But you’re putting the cart before the horse. First of all, Nerlens was always a player more valuable to the Sixers than the other 29 teams. He’s a useful player, but not useful enough for a team to trade all that much for him. (A contender doesn’t need someone not in their prime. A rebuilding team has more needs than…

I’m supposed to blame Fultz’ free throw stroke on Hinkie? I’m supposed to blame the Noel trade on Hinkie? I’m supposed to blame Okafor’s plummeting value on Hinkie? It’s a little too early to be drunk as fuck, Banestar.
