That arm sweep goes all the way back to Mikan. Adrian Dantley did it on every drive to the hoop. Kareem’s left arm flying out was a part of every sky hook he took. It may as well be legal.

I think I figured out the best way to get players to work on their free throws. When you miss, nobody is allowed to dab or high five you. They can’t even look at you. They just have to look down in embarrassment, or else it’s a technical.

Somehow generates 11 pounds of diarrhea.

That was Apocalypse Now, dumbass.

Something I’ve never done before with any team, I made it a point to watch every minute of every Warriors game (thank you, streamers). Probably my favorite thing that I noticed was what I can only describe as the creeping dread that permeated the other team as the game went on. Even when the opponents were up by…

Vin Scully is so great, calling him the greatest baseball broadcaster of all-time feels like it’s not giving him enough credit. He deserves his own room at the Hall of Fame where you can listen to his anecdotes and famous calls, and the Ford C. Frick Award should be renamed the Vin Scully Award. He’s the Babe Ruth,…

As much of a Kobe skeptic as I am, he was probably the best player on that ‘09 team and he and Gasol were fairly even in 2010. If I was keeping score, I’d give him 1.5 on the “best player on a championship team” score.

This is why I prefer Win Shares to VORP, although it’s not perfect either (Adrian Dantley led the league one year). The methodology may be problematic, but the results (Jordan instead of Grant Hill in ‘97, Shaq instead of Steve Francis in ‘01) pass the smell test.

My coworkers made bets yesterday about how many shots he would take tonight. The highest total was 38 shots. Everybody thought 40 would be ludicrous.

I think she said that she didn’t read the email that listed that the substance was banned, not that she had taken it several months ago.

D-Miles!

Red #3 is the goddamned Secretariat of marble racing.

That’s actually a really good point.

That tomato dish sounds tremendous. Gonna try that.

Being the “1" on a team’s “40-1" home record when gunning for the best regular season record of all time is a hell of a fucking notch on the resume.

Keep in mind, the U.S. Army almost did the same thing, refusing to allow braids or cornrows for their female soldiers, but somehow still demanding everyone’s hair be tightly controlled. It was only after a number of black female soldiers raised a stink that they backed off.

Pippen would be on Curry, Jordan would guard Klay, Rodman would handle Green, Ron Harper would take Iguodala and Kukoc (or whomever) would be on Barnes. The individual matchups may not make much of a difference, as the Bulls never faced a team that shoots or moves the ball as well as the Warriors do, and they never…

Cleveland may collapse on the other side. Wouldn’t surprise me if the Raptors beat them. The Warriors and Clippers hate each other. That will be fun. I wouldn’t rule out OKC against the Spurs or Warriors, necessarily.

Of the probable playoff teams, the only ones I haven’t enjoyed watching are the Grizzlies, Pacers and…

It’s easy to pronounce, it’s just an unusual name so nobody knows how to spell it.
