I mean, obviously the Chinese government doesn’t give two shits about, like, rice farmers and factory workers. But I doubt those people are following the NBA anyway. What about all the Chinese nouveau riche? Surely they must have some ability to influence government policy?

Completely apart from the moral principles of the situation, I really think Silver needs to double down and tell the Chinese to go fuck themselves. The NBA is obviously the best professional basketball league in the world, and by an enormous margin. Silver has real leverage because he has a monopoly on the product…

Terrible Person No Longer Terrible Golfer

That’s OK — sure, this year is rough, but we’ve got all these great young guys who are gonna be great, right?

My sports hero growing up was Kareem, so I guess I lucked out.

The irony is that Perk’s game is exactly what Draymond’s will look like in 20 years.

I would root for a team fielding Roy Moore, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and nine Duke graduates before I would spend one second cheering for El Tri.

I developed a crush on the Pelicans during the Portland series (hadn’t seen them much previously), and the whole first quarter of this game, I was like “Wow, what a pace! Look at all the beautiful passing! The Pelicans are really hanging with GSW — this will be a great series!”

I love how the video shows every Wizards bucket except one (going from 20 to 22 points) and leaves out, like, a third of the Raptors’ scoring, and it’s STILL obviously an ass-whupping.

I was hoping someone would post this.

What about Ray Lewis? Oh, wait...

I decided to quit watching during the 2016 offseason. First game of the fall was the Cam Newton Headshot Game, which made it abundantly clear that I had made the right decision.

Huh. So Jordan the GOAT only took his team to the finals 6 times? Interesting.

I bet this news knocked LeBron flat.

Forrest Gump at Jenny’s grave? Not really a dumb movie, if overrated by the Academy.

DEPRECIATION. Sometimes you need new brakes. Other times you need a new radiator, or camshaft.

Maybe if he takes five steps like Kyle Korver last night.

Quit watching football last offseason for all the obvious reasons. First game of the 2016 season was the Cam Newton Headshot Game. Rarely has a difficult decision of mine been proven right so immediately and irrefutably.

Lots of food for thought here — but holy shit, you are dead wrong about Kareem’s defense and as an old person I will NOT HAVE IT. 5X All-Defensive 1st Team, 6X All-Defensive 2nd Team, and 4X leading the league in blocks is “not much defense?” He wasn’t bald, begoggled, and 40 years old his entire career.

Oh fuck off. They haven’t even had their PARADE yet!
Christ, what an asshole!
