Guys at Dwayne’s level have *everything* done for them during their playing days. The team has people that handle most daily stuff, from getting your cable turned on to setting up lawn care, child care, car care, bills, basic shopping, pet care etc. The player might hire assistants to handle more personal stuff like…

To be fair, if the only time you ever hear the price of a beverage is at a major professional sports event, $20 for a gallon of milk is about right.

This is not a comment on his character or”realness” or whatever, but Klay was born into a fairly affluent family as the son of a successful NBA player. Money has never been life or death for him.  $30m is $30m, sure, but the Melo or AI response would be wayyyyyyy different.

The All-NBA thing is super weird. On the Lowe Post a while back, Zach Lowe suggested that for the “All-NBA in the 7th Year” provision be moved to All-NBA 2nd Team, not 3rd. Sometimes years are weak and you can fart your way into a 3rd team due to injuries or whatever. But it’s awfully hard to fart your way into being…

Abandoning concern over things that are beyond your control is one of the core insights of Buddhism, and is central to the general modern concept of mindfulness. You see it quoted many ways, but Shantideva made the following point:

I’m certainly not living that life so this is speculation but honestly, it’s $30 million for a guy who doesn’t seem to be a big money kinda guy. He seems remarkably well adjusted for a person of his talents and in the grand scheme of his life I think he likely appreciates that money isn’t going to make a difference. I…

That difference, of potentially $30 million, is completely beyond Thompson’s control, but you wouldn’t know it from his reaction.

How the fuck if you are the Warriores PR guy you let Klay walk into that. Like shit man, what a way to learn you missed out on 30mil by having a reporter tell you with a bunch of cameras and other people staring at you and your reaction.

I don’t see how this is racist in anyway. Honestly, I can’t see any racist ange to this at all. You may be 100% correct that some women feel “feminism is only for white women”, I have no way of knowing that, BUT THIS case seem devoid of racial inequities, as most of the athealtes this women feels are being…

Pictured are the three women who placed behind Semenya at the Diamond League last week:

Far too many times have I seen a woman rise to power as a champion for other women, only to make clear her vision of feminism is only for white women.

Great write-up Barry. Also, though Ben Bishop turned in one of the best playoff performances ever last night, he is still a diving faker. 

Easy answer. It's those beautiful old-school style socks he's wearing 

Something about that guy is very old-timey baseball. I don’t know how to explain it, but it felt like he was running with a pack of cigarettes in his shirt pocket the whole time.

I’m sensing a theme to these recent posts.

Joel Embiid, blown out, seeks a solid performance to avoid elimination.

Jim Butts has been the best Sixer this series.  He’s a good player and all, but that’s an issue.
