Oh yes truly America is so uniquely multicultural certainly they would not make fun of a person for having a wasp name.

No shots of the Porzingis family, reacting to him being drafted by the Knicks?

“it is by no means the normal pundit hyperbole to call him one of the best young players in Europe”

Have you actually suggested this is down to race? Are you fucking kidding me!?

what if the US decided to make soccer players instead of basketball players? Spoiler: we would win.

Lebron is 6’8”. He’s goalie or nothing. Maybe a CB.

Aussie’s beat you to it, but good article.

Your comment is basically an encapsulation of the entire history of English football.

As an American with significant German heritage, I pretty much treat Germany as my #2 team in international competitions. I definitely want the US to win, but have a distinct feeling that if we get past China (no guarantee there) and we face Germany (they better beat France), they will eat us alive.

At least they got the second penalty in, although they had to change the taker.

They do water the turf - generally not using sprinklers, but using a little cart that sprays water, almost like a zamboni. That’s what they used in Montreal. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of it, I don’t think.

Hopefully he’ll crochet a magic flute and just skip to world-8

I really don’t understand why he should just give it to him. I mean if it wasn’t some thing that was probably worth a lot of money sure why not. If I win the fucking lottery I’m not giving it up just cuz people think I should be nice. F that, A-rod has shit tons of money if he wants the ball he can pay the man its…

Joke’s on us- you can’t have one if you don’t have one.

Blatt was put in an impossible position here by getting hired before LeBron did the near unthinkable and came back. He's now basically Spolstra without Pat Reilly's backing. For everyone's dignity, Blatt should step down and find another opening with a younger team that he can mold in his image. As for LeBron, he…

Please have Drew Magary write another article about LeBron soon. The voraciousness with which all the other biased Deadspin writers maneuver themselves to find any possible way to gobble LeBron’s nuts is getting nauseating.
