ESPN proved definitively that Rihanna did not yell BRICK

apparently 85% from advertising and the rest from data licensing. but they are losing a ton of money

by what mechanism can Silver prevent this from happening, if as you suggest, the players don’t really care about how much money they make?

The $$ amounts would be much, much higher

I think most people agree with you. It’s rare to see criticism of a salary cap.

Do you consider the NBA union the best one?

What’s your definition of “overpaid” and “underpaid”?

Me neither. I think narratively, the NBA is more fun than NFL precisely because NFL’s SuperBowl teams are almost random. Too much variance and eventually all the seasons kinda blend together.

it’s basically a big bet on “I won’t suffer a devastating injury before my next contract”

These types of questions are pointless mental masturbation.

1) The best solution for NBA parity is to keep a hard salary cap and eliminate max contracts.

The Spurs this year, were a good matchup for the Warriors. I believe in every game they played in the regular season, and Game 1 of the playoffs, the Spurs lead the Warriors by at least 20 at some point. (Warriors came back to win in the final RS game, and the 1st playoff game)

Player X argues for max contract: “OMG Players have no loyalty, they are all about money” (ex: Bill Simmons criticized Carmelo for demanding too much in the trade from Denver to New York, so the team couldn’t build around him.)

Yes, it’s bad. and the US elected a president largely on a wave of barely-if-at-all concealed white supremacy, probably in reaction to a Black predecessor :(

how brave of you to tell somebody else how to spend his (presumably fairly) earned money

do you have the numbers on whether S.A.S’s ratings are bad? I ask because the internet can distort the popularity of television shows.

what makes you say that Nick Martin “wants more” punishment? The article reads mostly “matter-of-fact” instead of “bloodthirsty” to me

I believe it was a Super Bowl ad for Heinz

3 rings. The 4th was off Wade’s coattails
