I want to see him fail, not because of his asshole old man, but simply because he is on the Lakers.

Summer league is to meaningful NBA what eating the dirt under the bleachers is to drinking an actual beer.

Not a Harden fan but get that money!

“You miss 100% of the shots you take.”

I went out to dinner with Monta Ellis and Nick Young once. After the food was served I said, “Could you pass me the salt?” Both looked at me with blank stares on their faces.

All his creative passing, which he has is is great at, won’t mean a thing if teams can play two feet off of him. Jason Kidd, his obvious best case comp, couldn’t shoot for shit early in his career either. But he at least got to the rim and drew fouls. As did Rondo when he was in the mood. Ball doesn’t do that at all.

I watched a lot of UCLA this year. Lonzo is fantastic, but a lot of his stuff won’t translate into the NBA. He reminds me of Adam Morrison in that way. Their games aren’t similar at all, just that their game is better suited to college.

Really looking forward to all the people who called her a killer in the last thread rushing in here to fall on their swords. One thing you can count on, it’s internet people who were motivated ONLY by their concern for traffic safety issuing heartfelt mea culpas and vowing to learn from their mistakes.

Hmmmm why would the police claim Venus Williams was at fault before they had even reviewed all the evidence...hmmm I wonder.

It’s a good thing LA traded away their other point guard. You know, just to make sure Lonzo has room to work.

“Swaggy Ph.D.”

This. How anyone takes Ball over Fox is beyond me. He owned him at every aspect of the game when they played. And on a personal level it’s not even close.

Is it wrong that I irrationally root for a 19 year old to fail because his Dad is an all-time terrible sports dad? Yeah, probably. Is this gonna stop me? No, probably not.

Apparently, thinking about baseball didn’t keep the fireworks guy from shooting early.

I meant what I wrote and the “him” in question should be obvious. I would clarify it further but that would ruin the fun I’m having reading the “hot taek” replies.

The good news about having a brief unpleasant encounter with Michael Jordan, say, in 1987, is that you’ll get called out in his Hall of Fame induction speech 20 years later

LeBron James will never be as successful as Michael Jordan.

The thing about shit-talking Waiters is that sometimes they spit in your food.

But in fact he IS cheap when it comes to the roster. Gilbert had Griffin wait until training camp a couple of years ago before relenting on re-signing Tristan Thompson because of the luxury tax implications. Lebron forces his hand by only signing 1+1 deals, with the second year a player option. If Gilbert doesn’t pony…

Three straight articles about regular-season baseball. Fuck July.
