He is having an unbelievable season. He had 19 boards tonight btw.
St. Louis wouldn’t want an NBA team because it would be too many black players.
Great article. Expanding on your point about why certain fans fetishize defense: defense is commonly associated with effort while offense is commonly associated with natural talent. Neither is true of course. But this allows fans the conceit (and resulting feeling of moral superiority) that they would get more out of…
For guys who don’t care about defense, you’re awful goddamn defensive about this MVP thing.
I am consistently amazed how Spurs fans are able to get away with being the Cardinals fans of basketball
Honestly, I’m surprised Kawhi’s suddenly the guy people are putting up against Westbrook rather than Harden, who’s having a nutso season statistically. 29-7.8-11.3 (leading the league in assists while scoring 29 a night!) is fucking crazy and his team’s playing really well.

Marcelo Huertas is from Brazil. Where they speak Portugese.
Plot twist: That’s not his kid.
Understated, yet so good.
I truly needed that calm Brit to politely guide me through the proceedings. Let’s all be thankful El Niño is stable, and that Ray Hudson wasn’t doing the color commentary (“...a tragisteeeeerial collision!”).
The New York Times's Sarah Lyall is at the NBA Rookie Transition Program, where the most talented young…
