Lonzo went on to state that he will bow out of the Nobel and Pulizter prize runnings.

I find comfort in the fact that my children will have no idea who Bill Simmons is when they are adults.

Well, I would watch Kong : Skull Island over the last 5 Kong movies.

Good news! He did! It’s called Kong: Skull Island!

The line on Smart is that he just does “Marcus Smart things” ... the gritty hustle stuff that wins ballgames but doesn’t translate to Sportscenter highlights. The Shane Battier, Bruce Bowen, Matt Barnes, Joakim-Noah-When-He-Was-Good stuff.

Funny, I actually wanted the opposite to happen. Pino’s only real offense was being hyperfocused on work (in a boring field to drive the point home). I think Francesca just fit too many tropes of manic pixie dream girl for me to care.

God, Arnold is simultaneously my least favorite character, and the one I get most excited to see show up. He’s so insanely narcissistic (even for a show full of narcissists) and privileged that it’s hard to like him, yet Dev absolutely GLOWS whenever Arnold shows up.

LeBron is the most valuable because he is being paid $31M instead of the $100M+ that he would be making of the NBA were a Free Market. Best player in the league at 1/3 of his actual value seems pretty valuable to me.

That sounds a lot better than the “Guy Who Put Up the Biggest Numbers on the Weakest Team to Drag it to Respectability” Award.

The whole argument of “most valuable player” versus “best player” comes down to a historical quirk in choosing the name of the award. I’m 100% certain it was always meant to be “best player” but “most valuable player” just sounds better and so that’s what they named it. If you’re picking the MVP company of the world,…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA David fucking Ortiz is calling someone arrogant and disrespectful?

Even though 2024 is still seven years away, Cena fans would still only be about 15 years-old. Rock would win in a landslide.

James Harden flailing wildly in vain, hoping for a foul call after Manu’s block, is an underrated part of that clip.

Hey, at least those four are all still together on the Celtics, because anything else would be a galling act of disloyalty to your coworkers and employer.

Well, sticking with their rich tradition of sober sports assessments, I expect Boston fans and talk radio to react very calmly and rationally to this situation

No matter how great his career may have been, I will never forget Paul Pierce’s phantom wheelchair injury in the ‘08 Finals. Like, seriously, what the fuck happened?

This is a segment from last night’s NBA broadcast on TNT, in which Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Glen Davis, and Rajon Rondo lay out why they are still angry at Allen, all these years later.

“a healthy Alec Burks is absolutely worth $10 million a year”

As Torontonian basketblogger William Lou has said, the Raps are basically the “Clippers East.” This is a good/great team that just isn’t good enough to take down the elites.

It’s insane that Thomas went 60th out of 60 in the 2011 draft. If you redid it today, it’d go:
