I’m so tired of haughty, aggressive hipster dickheads condescending to drop their pearls of wisdom on the rest of us.

So many of you revisionist historians actually believe late 80's/early 90's basketball was nothing but Rick Mahon, Charles Oakley and grind-to-a-halt defense.

And on the flip side, I imagine those older teams would be easier to defend considering the depth of shooters was probably shallower, the inverse Dubs if you will.

My favorite thing about older players is that they actually believe that NBA defenses were better back when they played, despite every possible metric and basic eyeball tests showing that modern NBA defenses are vastly more complex and effective than they’ve ever been.

Translated from the Russian: And of course, Steph Curry hits the long range 3 for the win. An inevitability just like the slow creeping onset of winter, crushing the joy from the people and reminding us all of the impending nature of our own deaths. You can see it on the Thunder players’ faces. You might think from…

Going to Qatar is always a bad move.

That was amazing. Curry bailed his teammates out big time. I counted four times in the 4th & OT when Curry made a perfect pass to a cutter, only for the cutter to blow the open layup.

Steph shoots above 60% from beyond 28 feet.

But when companies are forced to pay that much money, they change procedure and policy. This demonstrates liability. I don’t agree with the notion that a person has to sustain a financial loss in addition to a security loss to make that point. It does’t matter if Andrews maintained a successful career, Hilton should…

Not adjoining, just next door. He rigged the peepholes in her rooms’ doors.

The saddest part is that she has to prove it hurt her, even if she continues success in her career. That is so terrifying and disrespectful and blatantly immoral.

I was thinking the same thing. I feel like Spencer Hall is one of the few writers out there in the void that pretty much everyone on the Deadspin staff genuinely likes and respects, which definitely shows here.

That doesn’t really address a lot of the larger questions about his role for me; he is the editorial director and this piece doesn’t pin nearly as much blame for this on him as it does for others involved. In fact if anything it does some legwork to at least partially clear him of blame, making it explicit that he was…

It’s very difficult for me to reconcile the respect I have for Spencer Hall with the fact that he read this story at least once and didn’t stop it, vacation or not. Speaks to his blind spot as well, as Greg put it.

“Among other things, this story serves as an example of why diversity in the newsroom is so important. It isn’t because diversity is charity, or because giving opportunities to people other than white men is a Christlike thing to do, but because everyone has blind spots, and everyone fucks up.”

Has Hall said anything publicly about this since the apology? Did he participate in this article outside of the small quote about Glenn?

There is no such thing as longform writing. There is such a thing as features writing—profiles, investigations, essays—and if it’s prestigious, that’s mainly because of its association with careful selection of subjects and with vigorous research, reporting, editing, copy-editing, and fact-checking. A feature carries…

am i the only one who thinks that Spencer Hall got a little bit of a pass in this piece?

Don’t forget that SB Nation often doesn’t pay its lower tier writers. But hey at least you get “experience.”
