Holy shit yes, agreed 1000x on the Dutchman’s celebration. As if he’s a world-beater or something. Give me a damn break.

No way. Is that real? That can’t be real. It doesn’t look real. But it looks real. Is that real?

Ben Simmons is a very good player, but until he can reliably make jumpers his teams will have a playoff ceiling: unless playoff matchups break perfectly for him he’ll always be facing coaches good enough to neutralize his strengths. Can you imagine him trying this “Can’t shoot outside 5 feet” shit on KD and the Dubs…

So every SW movie will have one or more of those things. It’s kinda been caught in a web of it’s own making...

Absolutely right! Give the man as much rest as you possibly can!

This series was over before it even started, and I’ll agree we should enjoy LBJ while we still have him at the peak of his powers.

A question: are women doing this, shacking up with men they find unattractive? I don’t think so.

Damn girl. On the one hand I admire your ability to find positivity in your loneliness. On the other hand I hope you find that meaningful connection.

Godawful pass by the defender there, but this is still all the keeper’s fault. I have told countless youth soccer players that a ball in front of your own goal is not a time to get fancy: boot that motherfucker out as far as you can. No tricks, no strategy, just hoof it upfield and not directly into an oncoming…

Assorted thoughts on this series opener:

Is there some way to hide Compete articles from crossposting/showing up in my Deadspin feed? If that is not a feature (hiding crossposts from specific sites in the Gawkerverse), can you ask the Kinja experts if that can be made one?

Melo is freaking delusional. He’s not a max player anymore, stagnates every offense he touches, and gets burned on defense all day long. Coming off the bench is the best situation for him at this point: be the focal point of the offense, pick on weaker defenders, and not have to try as hard on defense. Swallow your…

Who would willingly subject themselves to extreme emotional distress on purpose? Someone who hasn’t experienced it in real life, that’s who.

Thank you for mentioning this. The Miami pastel kit is one of the greatest ever, in any sport, and should never go away. It’s age-proof.

I wholeheartedly agree. I don’t look down on prostitution—oldest profession, do what ya gotta do, consenting adults, etc.—but this sugar baby stuff is just the same thing. Sugar Babies can try to dress it up with a veneer of respectability, but you’re not fooling anyone with half a brain: you fuck for money.

I’m sorry Scoot Gimple, but there’s no way I’m buying into the thought of the story “evolving”. I watched the first 3 seasons, have hate-read the recaps since then, and it is the same goddamn lather-rinse-repeat plot arcs every season: go somewhere, meet an adversary, lose some characters, fight and defeat that person.

I’m disappointed that so many Jalops are defending this guy using the shoulder as a lane. He’s a dick (unless there was some sort of life-threatening issue for himself or a passenger), and deserves as big a fine as the cop can write.

Not that I don’t appreciate the satire, but the real answer is: who the fuck cares what a former model-cum-escort-cum-trophy-wife thinks given her total lack of activism for any meaningful cause, despite having one of the most high-profile platforms in the world?

Yeah I’m with you. I can make out the B29 silhouette even in the shitty resolution version of the poster.

I said it elsewhere and I’ll say it again: this Cohen boob is the real-life embodiment of Ted, the hapless sadsack hospital lawyer from Scrubs, and apparently is just as incompetent. The only difference is Michael hasn’t lost his hair yet. His dignity, on the other hand...
