Rod Strickland, an assistant coach at Kentucky during Cousins’ year there, noted the big guy’s agility and finesse and said he had “a lot of boogie in him.” It stuck.

Maybe do a little research before you get all haughty. UK and UNC have played a home and home for years and they will resume the series in 2017. The only reason they didn’t do it this year and last was because they were scehduled to play each other in the CBS showcase this year. To replace the home and home with UNC…

There are a million things about those ridiculous articles that you could fairly criticize, but I don’t think the Pistons statement is one of them. He wasn’t slagging that Pistons team, just saying that none of those guys were superstars. And they weren’t. They were an incredible defensive force that pieced together…

I’m not sure I follow re: how the venue affects the relevance of the federal illegality of weed. Regardless, I wasn’t addressing the potential merits of a lawsuit, but rather just responding to the OP’s statement that “You can legally consume marijuana for medical treatment in like 20 states.” My point was that, while…

Old John’s just a volume shooter, man. He throws up a lot of bricks but, when he hits one, it’s all net. I, for one, appreciate his lack of conscience.

Technically,* that is just the feds exercising their discretion not to prosecute people. Weed is still very much illegal under federal law.

Owners in the NFL have the most leverage of any of the major sports in large part because NFL careers are so short. Guys are pretty hesitant to sit out a whole season, or even half a season, when they are only likely to be in the league for 3 years or so. Certainly stars have longer careers and could better withstand…

You mean Coke?

Pffft. I wish.

If we’re not limiting ourselves to trailers, I think the version of Mad World from Donnie Darko needs to be acknowledged as one of the forerunners of the slow, haunting pop-song cover genre :

Given how high profile his nut shots were in last year’s playoffs, it takes some real cajones for him to keep doing this. I mean Big Ones.

Most traveling truthers fail to understand the gather step are are consequently often wrong. This, however, is an extremely blatant travel. Still fun, though.

Boom! Real talk. Mic drop. Point blank period.

Is your snowblower broken? Because, shockingly, Barnes has not been blowing this year either.

Not to “well, actually” you, but I think they called a push-off on Harris on that fast break drive and the basket didn’t count.

I think you have to look at Sports VU-like stats to see whether they are giving open threes or are doing a good job of closing out and contesting. If opponents are shooting poorly on mostly open threes, that will very likley regress to the mean. Howveer, if they consistently don’t give up open threes, their holding…

Thank you. Unfortunately, my grey status will prevent the masses from knowing my genius. Serious injustice, I tell you.

I agree that Plumlee probably isn’t “butt,” BUT no sane person would describe him as a top 6-7 center. All of these players are unequivocally better centers than Mason Plumlee:

Some of these players, like Jabari, Mudiay and Gordon, could very well still turn into stars. They are just kinda butt as young players. Others, like MCW, Trey Burke, and Alex Len, are now and forever butt. (And some, like Nerlens and Barnes, are very solid rotation players. Maybe butt in relation to their draft…
