Seriously this is what you get when you hire someone who not only listens to TED talks but takes them seriously.

Counterpoint: Hinke always thinks he is the smartest person in the room and makes sure everyone knows it.

Jesus F. Christ. I really tried to read the whole snooty, batshit thing. Investment advice from Warren Buffett! Science meets pop psychology! I overpaid for my Palo Alto pad, but I liked it! We taught an old widow new-fangled maths & made her buy books on Amazon!

Just finishing skimming this. Oof. On the one hand, his reliance on reference and quotation and business-speaky just-so stories is a tic I’m primed to find obnoxious. I also think you can plausibly figure he wrote it under the assumption (or intention) that it would be made public, and therefore did so with the intent…

This is about 12 pages too long, as all that really needed to be said was “I watched the movie WARGAMES and applied its lesson to the NBA.”

I read this in full. Hinkie is brilliant in exactly the way certain anti-social failures usually are: he understands intellectually how the world works, except he can’t connect his analysis to any kind of human feelings. I picture him as a young college undergrad 20 years ago writing meticulously researched papers on…

Well, at least now he’ll be able to draw up a play other than the pick and roll.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a technobabbling drone produced half a dozen pages of Gladwellian quotes of someone else’s bullshit without any real point or purpose before getting to something that vaguely resembles substance. But the kicker here is basically that there was never actually any plan besides…

“12 and a half pages? How long did that take, like three years?”

“Mitchell & Ness, this is Rickey, calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to purchase a Rickey jersey.”

Just 23. Too soon. Far, far too soon. I could easily have kicked it around that age, 24. Car crash. I was lucky. But now I know I’m not invincible. Walker could have worn a helmet, could have worn lighter clothing and didn’t. Being that young and especially being a professional athlete carries with it a sense of…

Poor kid. Barely even had a chance to be an adult yet. Just heartbreaking.

That’s less than any of the Big 4 American sports commissioners. No wonder he needs all that bribe money!
