I don’t think this necessarily offers hope for humanity, but I wouldn’t say it’s just basic decency for a guy who went to the school expecting to be fawned over by excited kids to instead sit down with a lonely, awkward boy who probably didn’t even know who he was.

“Learn to live with it”. Yeah, that’s the erroneous opinion that should be number two in your comment, not the strawman you actually tossed out.

With situations like these, it is pretty common to see two erroneous viewpoints:

Edited comment since this is a Kobayashi Maru post.

So if you’re an unwavering JoPa supporter, do you:

Kareem is the only NBA center who was better than Tim Duncan. The 2nd greatest player at his position ever and a top 25 all-time player, probably top 10.

And Durant wasn’t singing backup vocals to Russell Westbrook, the player that constantly leads the league in usage rate?

I’m convinced that this is the mentality of people who never actually played on great teams in their lives. It’s wayyyy more fun to be any part of a great team than being a big part of even just a good team.

What if your choices were:

That's not how anything works. What you've just described is not like any business ever.

wake up sheeple

The Knicks definitely traded Robin Lopez away to sign Dwight Howard. Next year their starting lineup is going to be Derrick Rose, Aaron Afflalo, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, and Dwight Howard, and they’re gonna win 39 games and lose to the Hawks in the first round of the playoffs.

He’s not part of the Death Squad, but how much was Andrew Bogut missed?

I’m sure lots of people have similar antecdotes, but I distinctly remember my brother coming out about seventeen years ago while we were both still in high school. I remember my mom crying, but only because she was worried about how people would treat him, even in NY. I was fifteen and really worried too.

He shrank about 2 inches when Lebron blocked his weak shit into next week.

I hate to be that guy, but I kind of feel like Ty Lue isn’t getting enough credit for this, or for how they’re taking it at Curry when he’s on defense.

Defensively for Cleveland, it’s probably an overstatement to say it’s all about the screens, but not a big overstatement. When they play the screens correctly, they force tougher shots or more time off the clock or extra passes to try to find another open shot...which takes more time off the clock and takes Golden…

They’re the same team, doing the same things they’ve done all year. They’re facing more talented, more determined opponents in the playoffs. In addition to being more talented and more determined, their opponents get to see Golden State’s unorthodox style of play up close, repeatedly. The same screens that make…

Ever since the Thunder series, the Warriors have been almost the definition of “bringing that weak shit.” The Thunder were capitalizing because they were playing very aggressively and with length and tenacity that really challenged the Warriors’ finesse. They hustled after loose balls much harder (notwithstanding the…

Has to be said that while Steph was shooting the ball well last night and keeping G State in game, he made a few awful turnovers. Careless passes right at half court that led to Cavs fast breaks. It’s something you expect in a 3rd game in 4 nights regular season game (reminded me of their game @ Portland right after…
