Jingoism is half the fun of the Olympics.

Hey, we are playing your national anthem and hanging your flag above you in a on a podium that ranks you from best to third best. This has nothing to do with Nationalism or National Pride!

I was gonna say the same thing. We gotta build from this lol

Whaaa? It’s more than a little weird that a competition whose key appeal is the national pride inherent in cheering on athletes precisely because they share your nationality would have a rule saying you can’t have displays of nationalism.

I feel like we are looking for things to piss us off now.

I gotta hope that you mean rose put up better numbers than Curry did in that same year. Which means nothing. Rose was never anywhere near the player that curry was in his MVP seasons, and still is. Not even by just the numbers.

Kevin Nash just got up from his couch so fast he tore his ACL again.

That’s not the criteria for MVP, so no. That’s not now it works.

omg get a room ffs

And he was mentally fragile enough that he unraveled completely when his body betrayed him. Other players—Larry Johnson comes to mind, as does Shaun Livingston, to name just two off the top of my head—reinvented themselves as capable role players after their early-career athleticism was gone. Rose has kind of got…

If that’s what they’re expecting, I assume they’re not civics teachers.

Oh damn. That is staggering.

He’ll be the first and so far, likely only, player to win the MVP and not make the Hall of Fame, right?

He is also utterly incapable of playing anything even close to winning basketball, and that is that. The only way that he knows how to exist on an NBA floor is with a style of play that he is hilariously incapable of executing with any degree of efficiency.

uh...I don’t think that’s how the constitution works.

you shut your fucking mouth with your facts

Dude, Chinamen is not the preferred nomenclature.

Well... this is awkward.

Yikes. How does that self-own taste?

Fultz wasn’t Hinkie.
