Whoa. Mean, bro.

Right. Those 6'5" D1 offensive linemen who are good enough to play for a top-tier program but not quite good enough for the NFL? Definitely candidates for men's soccer.

Yes, the Lowry deal was phenomenal. Aside from the Caboclo fiasco during the draft (what the fuck?), Masai is a genius.

You're doing a lot of rationalization, here. Gordon Hayward's max contract is an albatross because it is based on future value, not past production.

Why is it about Jefferson and Millsap?

He increased his USG% by 1 point and his TS% plummeted.

He knows her personally. I understand how that could get the blood running a little bit warmer, but KEEP IT IN YOUR FUCKING PANTS DUDE YOU'RE ON LIVE TV AND SHE'S YOUR COWORKER AND PROBABLY WANTS TO BE RESPECTED MORE THAN ANYTHING SINCE SHE'S PROBABLY BOMBARDED BY CHAUVINISTIC DUMBFUCKS LIKE YOU EVERY WAKING HOUR OF…

Is that a third Lakers bro in the tank top? That facial expression is too familiar...

This should be posted to Wikipedia. Can you go ahead and start the page? Make sure to note your independent research so your Kinja peers can review it.

You shouldn't respond to a guy who's obviously going the incendiary route.

That poor lady with the hearing aids on the left. That probably sounds like someone blowing a vuvuzela in your ears.

You think Carmelo Anthony is among the best players in the league? Not much of an advanced stats fan, are ya.

You are literally watching the best players play one another right now. Only instead of getting to see LeBron and scrubs vs. Tim Duncan and scrubs, you get to see LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Leonard and the reanimated corpse of Boris Diaw playing the best team basketball this league has…

"The game." That nebulous little construct there? That's the problem, here.

I hated that Carmelo forced the awful trade to an awful Knicks team and is known as the best player on it. (He's not.) Generally I do not like him (the portrait of himself in his million-dollar NYC apartment is everything I hate about contemporary sports) and wish he'd never made it to the Knicks, who I follow.

Right. He's a fan who believes the NBA cartel should have more power than the labor that propels demand.

No, you're right. Because their skills are in high demand and short supply, we should treat them as if they're not laborers.

Competitive balance doesn't mean choosing a subset of "productive players" and creating rules to prevent them from managing their own risk (e.g. the opportunity cost of playing for a poorly-run franchise) and restricting their employment options.

You're not asking for competitive balance. If that were the case, you'd be calling for a revamp of the draft lottery, non-guaranteed contracts and a relegation system to punish franchises that operate with unsound principles year in year out.

Nice. I saw them the year before in Albany at SUNY. They played two songs from Green and the rest were from Blue/Pink. I think they even played "I Do."
