Oh I definitely think they were. B t I totally agree Kobe deserved a lot of blame. His deteriorating inefficient play and desire to be the number one option and alpha dog really did the Lakers no favors. I absolutely think theres some truth to “nobody wanted to play with Kobe” I just think it was a bit exaggerated.

I’m not disagreeing with the fact that they were loyal to Kobe but it was clearly a mutually beneficial relationship. Not amnestying him was good for Kobes pride I guess...but he still would have gotten paid. The Lakers still would have had to pay him, and they would have had no other excuses to try to tank for their…

To be fair I have always hated this idea that Kobe was “stealing money “ from the Lakers at the end of his career. Do you have any idea how much money the Lakers made off of Kobes last few years? And even if you want to look at it from a basketball perspective the Lakers still come out great cause they got to tank…

At this point I think most objective fans can agree that Lebron is no worst than Top 5 all time and that’s me reaching for the Lebron haters. You cannot name 5 other players who are objectively better than him. The only possible arguments to me are Shaq, Kareem, Magic and Jordan and No Bird, no Wilt, no Big O. Lebron…

I mostly agree with you with the exception of the 2011 finals (and possibly the 2008 ECSF against the Celtics but that’s arguable) Lebron has been the best player on the court in the playoffs even in defeat and postseason

Good thing Ivankas there to be his moral compass. Keep up the good work!

Republican supporters amuse me they have no problem being lied to will argue for points that actively hurt them and against thing that might help them if they even appear vaguely “liberal” and are fine ignoring reality when it comes to things their party do and say. You really have to admire it honestly they take…

God I miss Grantland so much

But Jordan did it in 33 fewer games

This comment is so powerful. I just feel like I kept hearing how during and after the election that white people felt they were losing the country and being ignored...and I was like to who and how? If white people are not winning...who is? It’s not black people I promise you that. I can’t speak for Hispanics or…

I’m not good at math, but this makes sense

**waits**

I was having a twitter argument with people harrasing Jemele Hill online this weekend (as per usual) and they has SC6 so much...like it’s 1 hr (or like 40 something minutes) of programming on a 24 sports news network and every day you are on the internet harassing the host. You hate it so much like why is that? Just…

This is amazing.

I almost choked laughing at this post

This. I always try to get what people mean when they say things like “liberal leaning”? Like the way that I see ESPN being “liberal” is discouraging racism, sexism, prejudice, misogyny and bigotry...so I’m not sure exactly whats so wrong about that...unless you’re a racist, sexist, prejudiced, mysoginist bigot.

Yeah I don’t care. I will literally let anyone else on that team beat me. I’m doubling and occasionally tripling Lebron and good luck to everybody else

Exactly. This isn’t a leg injury or a hurt shoulder, with the amount of pressure the NFL is under in regards to concussions I don’t see the Pats trying to knowingly hide Brady concussions, but I definitely see Brady taking the decision out of their hands by not saying anything at all.

Or 3) He had concussions and didn’t report it to the team but when he’s at home his wife who knows him better than anyone can see the obvious symptoms
