I mean I guess they kind of all are, to some degree, but not really the way the winners are, and bringing up Nate Robinson, the guy who was so fucking bad they had to change the rules of the contest, is just ridiculous.

I know I commented below, but for the people who don’t really get why this is a bad idea, I’ll elaborate:

but players like Isaiah Rider, Jason Richardson, and Nate Robinson were just as memorable and influential of winners.

I say after almost every Pop article on Deadspin I’d vote for him for President.

This has been: “Comic Books, What Is The Big Problem With Them?”

What in the fuck are you talking about?

And spent 3 0f the last 6 years playing overseas; and who has the same chance of getting a max NBA deal that I do...

Despite genius commenters in this thread, it’s been well documented that he has been a dick, and that that was the reason for his basketball exile. Now whether that is in his past or it’s just getting ignored now is the question...

I mean it would be funny.

Please God let his last act as the owner be to appoint himself coach. I would buy League Pass just to see every Sacramento game if he did that.

Oh my God. You can literally google “Hassan Whiteside is a dick” and get articles with people talking about how it’s an issue.

All of these things are also true of max player DeAndre Jordan.

I didn’t want to open the highlight truther can of worms - but the truth is that until the last two seconds this is HORRIBLE defense by Whiteside. He’s out of position or off balance in virtually every frame, and note that if Marvin Williams just drops it off to Batum, (who Whiteside ignores charging back for the…

Ha! Probably.

Think about the kind of dick you have to be to have this kind of talent and get cut from the god damn Kings, then come to the Heat and have teammates constantly complaining about you (note the lack of enthusiasm or even acknowledgement from almost the whole squad after he makes this play.)

Glancing at her IMDb, it looks like she does a lot of voice work now. Usually when I see that about an actor, I think it means they’re content to make 50% of the money for 20% of the work (can’t say I blame them.)

“This was a guy who avoided mud at all times.”

Personal history as well. 2011 was the tail end of his career, meaning he’d been rich for a while. I know a guy who’s considered something of a high roller at a couple casinos in Vegas, and they’ll go a LONG ways to give you good service if they know you’ll be betting six figure sums...

Not slow moving.

Love’s skill set is really weird. I think of “way better Sam Perkins”. He’s atrocious defensively, scores from anywhere, passes really well and rebounds well (though not as good as his stats indicate).
