and I’m not just referring to when they do it for the losing team (“You just won, how do you feel?” “I feel good!”). You could eliminate 99.999% of all professional sports interviews/press conferences, and the world would not be any worse for wear.

Well, enjoy not talking to people for a few years. Milwaukee has several of the best young stars in the sport with a future MVP candidate among them.

Demar Derozen shot 0% from the field and the east is still fucking garbage

You guys realize yet your love for westbrook for MVP is going to give you the same warm and fuzzy feeling people got when they voted for David Robinson and then watched Hakeem eat his lunch in front of him?

Beverly nailed a three on the very next possession.

Dammmnnnn..... Whatever happened to teammates calling out a screen?

Shut up Drake.

Hot take, but it falls apart a bit when you remember that Jackson is the one who extended Melo’s Knicks contract in the first place.

I have a countdown widget for the end of the word “wonderteen” in Deadspin stories about Pulisic. It’s 522 days in case anyone was wondering.

The indictment of Eli’s character is that he’s willing to defraud people for an extra $400-500. When you say something is “game-used” to ramp up the sale value, but the item isn’t actually “game-used”, you are intentionally deceiving people for monetary gain.

Including 2017 in that graph is preeeeeety misleading. It’s two weeks in. The dude is good but it throws off the scale. C’mon now.
