The problem was NBA scouts are terrible at projecting (guessing) which high schoolers will be worth a high draft pick. This is more to protect teams from themselves than out of concern for a player. But this seems a great middle ground--superstars can sign their endorsement deals a year early, get better game…

Sorry, but nearly half of the current NBA player pool has D/G League experience. Many of them are older, more physically developed, more experienced, and some go back and forth between leagues. They’d absolutely mop the floor with a bunch of high schoolers.

Also, while teams do compete on the floor, in the real world they are profit-sharing in the same business entity. Better players means better product means more money.

Except in baseball you are essentially performing alone, for the most part. Very little of your skills and performance rely on working with the players around you.

Remember when Tatum was the best player on a team poised to beat the Cavs in the conference finals but Terry Rozier thought HE was and Marcus Smart said to hold his beer? Good times.

Is this a Mrs. Ainge burner account?

Is George Blanda dead yet?

Anderson, despite his rust, is one of those weird Fitzgerald types that once in while goes off for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns. He was an all-pro with the Browns, of all things.

Bills are probably the team that needs him most but the least likely to sign him.

So Brown got cleanly blocked, ball got knocked out of his hands, ball spun wildly off the backboard, and somehow went in while Brown threw an off-balance Embiid to the floor,and somehow it’s an “own”?

Watching the game on TNT Overtime, I thought, “Wow, there’s more action in 30 seconds than in an entire half of football, plus the world’s best athletes doing crazy stuff, and all of it with a memeable subtext.”

Marv had his panties in a twist

It also makes the throw arrive a fraction of a second later just so you can pose like a douchebag

What if they discover the “gay gene”?

Tyranny by minority, just as the Constitution intended and encodified.

he pointed out that he was white and the rule only applies to black guys slamming white QBs.

Yeah considering how now everyone loves 43-40 games with only one punt and teams averaging eight yards a play and the defense gets flagged for something every three or four plays, it’s wonderful. Everyone finally got what they wanted.

Almost as bad as the QB pussyfooting down the sidelines for 20 extra yards because everyone’s afraid to hit them. They give all the fakes of going out of bounds but keep dancing. Prescott had one yesterday.

I have a policy of not doing any business with people who play Fox News in the waiting room, which is hard to do in the rural South.

We’ll be dead by 2040, so...there’s that.
