Dwight is kinda douchey and immature though... I’m not blaming him for that specifically. I don’t know why it’s true. But this isn’t the first “look at me” thing he’s done that isn’t on-court excellence-related. And when things aren’t going his way in games, he pouts, sulks, and occasionally does things to get the…

I would love to see a picture of what you’re wearing right now.

Marcin Gortat, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis, Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus, Trevor Ariza, and Jameer Nelson. You’re gonna shrug and suggest that all of those guys sucked and didn’t make anything of themselves, didn’t contribute in any way, etc. I’m gonna come back to the point that I just made:

Other…

I wrote something that wasn’t at all about Allen Iverson in response to your statement about Iverson being a grown man because he’s an adult. You think that’s making an excuse for Allen Iverson. That’s really poor reading comprehension.

But let’s keep this in the specific reality of A.I. You described him as “A gifted…

I don’t like Florida any more than anybody else (and yet I resist the urge to post the Bugs Bunny sawing Florida off the map GIF) but I’m not sure why stressing that it was Orlando is relevant. I’m aware that he played for Orlando when he was playing for Orlando. What’s your point? That he didn’t have a great…

Is it possible that you’re responding to the wrong person? What did I write that constituted an excuse? What I wrote was, in essence, I’ve met kids who are more mature than the adults around them. That’s admittedly anecdotal but it’s also the truth. Who was I making an excuse for?

As for the rest of your response, it’s…

I’m trying to think of a single instance where I saw LeBron trying to be funny... Most of the time he’s trying to be Jordan-esque.

Eight years in Orlando. One trip to the Finals. One additional trip to the conference finals. Lost in the first round twice.

All the more reason for the guy who’s a foot taller than just about everyone else in the stadium to not ALSO wear a gigantic hat...

I really don’t want to hate this cat. I really do think he’s probably pure of heart and a decent human being, if naive, self-centered and ridiculous. But fuck Dwight Howard. Seriously. Fuck him.

It doesn’t really matter how easy it is to get into, any more than it matters, for the purposes of the HoF conversation whether he’s a world class shitbag now: Iverson was absolutely dominant despite being small for his position.

You’re making a classic mistake that lots of people make about themselves and others all the damned time: Confusing chronological adulthood with manhood/womanhood. We have a bunch of arbitrary markers that are thrown out there to delineate when someone becomes a “grown man” (and naturally so), but I’ve met plenty of…

These are all important questions and I don’t mean to be selfish but, what does it say about me that I was briefly legitimately concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find the results of this poll because I was worried that they would be included in another post somewhere? Because that was a thing that I was actually…

By that logic, no one should ever be obligated to steal a base or bunt if they’re not being paid to steal a base or bunt. Oh, is that illogical? Because those are elements of being a baseball player? Precisely. As is batting. The risk of injury is the same for all parties involved. It’s a professional sport. There is…

Or maybe they liked a movie that was good.

Some folks liked a movie you didn’t like. You described it as a bandwagon. Some folks who didn’t agree with you reacted to your opinion in a way you didn’t appreciate. You describe it as a lynch mob. I’m reminded of people who are involved in a string of shitty relationships with different people and don’t realize…

That doesn’t change the fact that you kinda came off like a defensive dick. I don’t know you and I wasn’t involved in the production of the movie so I don’t much care how you felt about it or why. My observations were purely based on your reaction. It was a classic “Pot said what to Kettle?!?!” situation. You don’t…

It’s pretty funny that you guys are grilling somebody for preparing for a ceremonial first pitch. With the exception of Fiddy Cent and the Mayor of Cincinnati, I’m pretty sure every embarrassing first pitch video I’ve ever watched has been on this website. And I’ve watched both of those on this website. I’m gonna go…

I got the impression that Hardy’s Max was grappling with his madness but had not yet crossed over into “the world is a shithole and I’m a lunatic, so let’s dance” territory, i.e. that his Max was supposed to be less “Mad” by virtue of being younger than Gibson’s Max and closer to the world having been relatively sane.…

I saw it with my father on a VCR dub from HBO... Which is to say that he liked it and knew I would like it too. He was right.
