Haha, not a fan a Farris is see. I hate the way he jerks the bar from the floor, only Naim can get away with that. Sim deserves much more than medals, that girl’s got a lot of heart. Lu had better get that record, if not, I’d like to Ehab take a go at it. There’s not way he can stay with Lu in the snatch, but he could…

Fellow weightlifting fan here. Yeah the leadup has been pretty tame, although Houston had some pretty good performances. Too bad most of those athletes got popped. Why Lovchev why?! Here’s to hoping that Ilyin shows up and out totals the supers just for the hell of it lol. Btw if he hits 251 in the cj it will be the…

Exactly. The Pistons showed up for a boxing match each night, and maybe, just maybe, a basketball game might break out.

This comment better get more love.

St. Francis had something good going on there for a while, then Christians had to show up and ruin it.

I’m in no way assuming Curry does what he did this year ever again. He shot a better 2pt% this year than Bird ever did, and he’s half a foot shorter. I agree that if we were to only include Bird’s first 8 seasons his numbers look pretty good; his FG% stays at an even .500 and his 2pt% is .511, but Curry has only…

This is a decidedly bad take. Curry is closer to Bird than you think. Bird's 2pt% is .509, Curry's is .503. Bird's eFG% is effectively meaningless because he took less threes a game for his career than Stephen Curry has made in any one season, 1.9 vs 2.0, but if we were to include it, Curry wins in a landslide. And…

Yay, I get to go on a Westbrook rant now! I’ve always felt he was way too athletic for his own good. I like to compare him with Rondo and Tony Parker. Bare with me. Neither Rondo nor Parker are good shooters, especially Rondo, but if you look at their best years they were some of the most efficient guards in the…

Bingo! It's identity politics, not fiscal politics.

Really? Whatever gave you that impression?

But, but, but... reasons. But seriously, I’ve come to the conclusion that if everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re the asshole. Hi, I'm Lord Acton's Library and I'm a recovering asshole.

Ugh, and here I was thinking Vaughn was the stopgap between awfulness and mediocrity. So it begins again.

I’m so happy someone posted this layup, it’s just... not supposed to work like that, physics that is. The best part is the New Jersey bench's reaction.

Somewhere Clifford Irving is laughing.

He's got the jedi-like ball handling skills of a Maravich and the lightning quick release of a West, it's just not fair.

I think it would be crazy to imagine what he would do on a really fast-paced team. Like what would he do on a team like the Doug Moe led Nuggets, or Westhead Lakers. Surely if Fat Lever can average 9.3 rebounds, Westbrook would be an almost shoe-in to average a triple-double. Bring back the pace!

Those Serbian basketball players really cleaned up. I mean look at Marko Jaric, how the hell did he get Adriana Lima. And Sasha Vujacic, OK he's technically Slovenian but he still got Sharapova, those Balkans must have magical dongs.

I only remember him because that quote was hilarious, that and the fact that outside of shooting threes he was absolutely useless, thus Phil's quote.
