Inherent, natural ability is driven by genetics. The claim you’re making relies on people being inherently better in today’s game than guys 40 years ago were. That’s not the way evolution works. Humanity isn’t genetically superior after one generation of natural selection. The difference between the perceived…

I know that hating the Warriors-hating has become cool (it’s not cool, it’s just reactionary), but if you have dick kicking assholes and smug arrogant ballers, you should hate the Warriors. They’re an awesome team that is full of cocky dicks that all look they deserve a smack in the mouth.

This perfectly describes PTI. I grew up in DC reading Wilbon and Kornheiser, so I loved that show for the first 5 years or so. Now whenever I watch it I just get sad- Wilbon shouting “BEAT DOWN!” multiple times an episode while Tony references how he’s too old to watch sporting events after 9:00. Still, as much as I…

Places like LA are the exception to the rule about hosting the olympics. IIRC, with the infrastructure they have in place they would only need to construct one new venue. The city is a large, bustling metropolis with plenty of hotels and restaurants to support the huge influx of people for two weeks. All the…

What I can’t believe is that people around the country aren’t talking about how obnoxious Kenny in my office is, yet they still bitch about Steph. It’s almost like the GSW are playing nationally televised games and getting tons of coverage all day, every day, whereas my office is pretty localized and gets no press…

Mid term elections? Dems and liberals have moved right onto already talking about the 2020 presidential election. Can Elizabeth Warren succeed where Clinton failed?! Can Bernie consolidate his base and build a coalition?!?! Who cares about Congress, state legislatures, governorships, the Supreme Court, or anything…

You probably also read a whole bunch of stories about HRC was 99% certain to win the election. Those stories claiming the republican party was dead/dying seem pretty quaint after the GOP won the Presidency and held onto majorities in Congress. Republican voters may have been divided on a number of issues, but they…

I’m glad that they didn’t call it, but can someone explain to me what actually warrants a technical foul for hanging on the rim nowadays? When they first changed the rule anytime someone pulled themselves up on the rim was an automatic tech. Green clearly does an unnecessary 3/4 pull up, so why isn’t this a T? I…

I would say Curry is the very definition of smug on the court.

Inconceivable!!

I don’t see it that way at all. If he steps forwards with his left leg he’s going to continue stumbling forwards. The way to get your balance when you’re thrown off balance is to apply a counterweight in the opposite direction to resist the momentum (like I said above, imagine a guy on a bosu ball). If your whole…

Are you not watching the video? That’s exactly what he did. He lands on one foot but is off balance so his body instinctively counterbalances. Go stand on a bosu ball or something and lean to one side. Your body will naturally lift the opposing leg up to counterbalance the shift in weight. Listen, I hate Duke as…

You’ve never seen a guy’s leg up when he gets pushed forwards and knocked off balance ? You probably don’t remember seeing it simply because it’s such an obvious response that nobody has ever highlighted it before. If Grayson didn’t have a history of tripping people his reaction here would have garnered exactly zero…

Eh, the guy is his agent. He’s literally paid to promote Mixon. He said pretty much exactly what I would expect him to. It’s like the Dad of the Stanford swimmer- it’s his Dad, he’s never going to be objective. It doesn’t make what they’re saying right, but it also isn’t really newsworthy.

That’s KD’s style at the end of the game. Every once in a while it goes in, but he ALWAYS looks timid and scared at the end of games to me. He doesn’t drive the lane, doesn’t run a play, doesn’t do anything really. Just finds a spot to launch a long three and prays. They need to stop giving him the ball at the end…

I don’t understand why GSW are turning to KD in big moments. I love the guy, but throughout his whole career he always seems to shrink in the biggest moments. That video was classic KD during a crucial possession- hold the ball at half court, then walk up and launch a contested three pointer. Just a terrible play…

I remember seeing a documentary a number of years ago where Bert Sugar said Liston threw the fight because he was legitimately terrified of Ali. Liston had been to prison and seen crazy people up close in the joint, and they were the only thing that scared him. The way Ali trash talked and behaved in the media made…

Agreed. If you watch the video it seems pretty clear that he never saw the screen coming, so it threw him off balance when he got hit. He falls forwards, so it’s just basic physics that he’d stick his leg up to counterbalance his body weight. This isn’t a Draymond Green situation where it makes absolutely no sense…

A) Thank you for your contribution. I appreciated the irony of your entire comment. B) Do you also not understand what bizarre means? C) Do you understand that being similar (“these kinds of terrible jokes”) does not equal the same? D) Do you understand that even with personal experience with one thing does not…

Lol, do you not know what bizarre means? Listen, I don’t know what the guy meant. My initial reading is that he made a very bad joke in very bad taste and thought he could get away with it because it was about his own family. My brother is married to a latina and makes lots of these kinds of terrible jokes that my…
