As annoying as BS gets with the constant sports analogies...they still help me understand exactly what he’s trying to say. The latter definitely applies to your comment.

There is so much about this:

Rejecting a basic, centuries-old scientific discovery that can be proven by using eyeballs: not great, but tolerable.

Holy shit...

I find it wonderful how even Zach Lowe, the most even tempered, least hot-takey writer there is, was throwing all kinds of shade at Irving implying he actually wants to lead a bad team and put up Harden/Westbrook stats rather than contend.

He’s gonna regret this one day as he’s sailing off into the horizon, where the earth ends.

The Sixers are so bad they didn’t even make the Eastern Conference Finals the year they made the Finals.

I’m kinda surprised you’re missing his intention here. The point is not to pressure the Cavs into not trading Kyrie. The point is to make clear the Cavs don’t have the option of picking Kyrie over LeBron.

Gilbert has always been a crappy owner blessed with extraordinary luck.

Really, this must have been LeBron’s dream outcome from the very beginning of his return to Cleveland:

I had a few thoughts about this but ultimately, my overriding feeling is that he won’t make much of a difference on a good team.

Rookie-averse NBA coaches kind of annoy me. These kids are not going to learn how to be NBA players through practices alone. They need game reps against real competition and time to make mistakes. If all they’re getting is a few minutes of garbage time, playing against the other team’s trash, it’s going to hamper…

A reverse lottery (giving the top record that didn’t make the playoffs the highest chance of the number one pick) would be fascinating. This obviously switches incentives for teams, but I think it would lead to higher quality teams in the long run. If the 17th best team in the NBA were to get the number one pick, it…

I don’t want to see Lonzo fail...I want to see him succeed wildly. But only after he completely cuts his father out of his life, gets him banned permanently from the Staples Center, and admits Big Baller Brand is an extremely stupid name.

He probably should have gotten de call, but that’s no excuse for throwing de ball at de referee.

Counterpoint: Baseball is for old men like George Will and is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

His contract is the most remarkable considering how he ended his season giving up ON THE FLOOR, IN FRONT OF THE WORLD against the Spurs, without Kawhi.
