The city won’t support a team, that’s been proven.

Why doesn’t the NBA mind the player-for-a-day thing when it comes to Derrick Rose?

That the US tends to suck at basic public services isn’t really an argument against basic public services, but an argument against the American way of thinking about these things.

Better solution: nationalize air travel. Mass transit serves a public good, it should be a public asset. Plus, that whenever a public airline gets privatized it turns to shit is a pretty compelling piece of evidence in the other direction.

So if he already has a seat, why not give the $400 (or more) to the people who were booked but didn’t have seats? Seems like a simpler solution than dragging a grown man off a plane.

Accounting for reaction time and looking up the whole time while tracking a ball that is curving, yes, you jackass.

5 seconds to see the ball come off the bat, decide where it is going, start running, and get there before the ball lands? Yes, that’s good.

I like to enjoy the dunks we have, and not the dunks we could have had, geraltcloud9.

Finally, justice for NBA mascots everywhere.

As a Justice Officer in Brazil, who goes to a lot of houses to enforce court orders, I got another tip not covered in the vid: if it’s more than one dog attacking, you should do the most counterintuitive thing, corner yourself. I mean, put yourself against a wall, a fence, or something like that, because dogs in packs…

Man, not even the Warriors could blow a 4-0 lead

I can give you an estimated win total for the Oklahoma City Thunder without him: 5.

I actually had started. But it was getting to be a long message drafted on a phone and I was bound to make a spelling mitsake.

I do a mean Rick Reilly too.

Bill Simmons also spent 10K words babbling about unicorns, so I’m not listening to his opinions on the MVP race.

Maybe this is an old man complaining about the kids, but hot takes are supposed to be incendiary. Kawhi is a really great player and should be in a discussion. But the MVP is Westbrook so this is more of a wrong take than a Hot Take.

I’m all for rich Trump supporters to throw around money while desperately telling everyone they meet that they’re not racist. I get the impulse, and the $450 is crazy generous. But saying the equivalent of, “Oh, you’re one of the good ones. Here’s some money.” still seems off putting.

Because you’re an asshole.

A lot of it is just negatives: don’t give the president off-the-record audiences and don’t get chummy with the people you’re supposed to be reporting on. Studiously report the news and push people in power to answer legitimate questions of public interest.
