I think the denials actually open up the possibility that there’s something under the table being done.

I would call his campaign satire but even SNL, Wayans or the writers of Airplane couldn’t come up with something this good. Oh they gonna love his son in the deep south

I’d call it a big deal from the fact that it happened and it’s a fairly repeatable process. It could even be a good idea for some top recruits to hit the field early against smaller/slower defenses, transfer to a big school the year before draft eligibility so scouts don’t knock you for the competition level, and…

It’s kind of painful watching other teams shoot the 3 after watching the Warriors all these years, I find myself going into this ‘this is almost unwatchable’ state of mind, which is completely unrealistic, but you don’t realize how skewed your perspective is from inside the fandom.

Glad to see he finally got it. He got it in less than half the games that Ray Allen did, as well. Something like that. So he’s got a lot more buckets to add to that list. 

After seeing the shoes and other garbage that Kanye is hawking, I just naturally assume anything he does is the result of mental illness, a scam or some combination of the two.

Hey! That’s “Free Larry Hoover”; you want more than that, you’re going to have to pay.

Here’s one : Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay ended their business partnership recently and their actual friendship because Will Ferrell was obsessed with play Jerry Buss. Not only did he give the part to Ferrell’s best friend, he found out in the trades . think of this as a “worst kept “ kind of secret .

When you get a Jeff Pearlman book you are getting excellent writing that has been researched, verified and factual. All of his books are great. I highly recommend Sweetness.

His lawyers who clearly hate his ass. Also, whoever they hired to write his PR statements must have Trump coaching them when he’s high on speed.

From a lawyer friend who’s had to appear before the judge Jussie Smollett got, they made sure he got a very police friendly, racist (but within legal boundaries) judge.

You’re right... the expectations are astronomical and it’s kind of unfair. Like I said, it’s mostly the organization’s fault. The blame lies maybe 5% tops with AD, and really that’s only because expectations are so high and he has very little support. It’s a vicious cycle lol.

Adding my 2 cents to your stats comments, the season isn’t even 1/3 of the way done, so anyone focusing too hard on stats right now just doesn’t have a big enough sample size to really craft a true narrative.

i hope they win the lawsuit and I hope there eventually is some kind of class action lawsuit against all the top real estate corporations. There has to be some kind of restitution for all the black people who have been marginalized by these real estate systems.

This kind of bullshit happens all the time! I’ve been working in the mortgage/banking industry for over 2 decades, and I have witnessed redlining, undervaluing of properties in Black neighborhoods, etc. I hope this couple’s lawsuit will send the message that we will no longer tolerate, and accept lowball appraisals,…

“But what makes Freeman’s hiring particularly interesting is that he isn’t inheriting the reins of some forlorn reclamation project (you know, like just about every other Black assistant who becomes a head coach).“

She’s a teacher.  Let that shit soak in.

She needs someone else to make all her decisions in the future.

Maybe she could glue it back and bring this thing around full-circle.

It’s basically a 3 million dollar fine, considering the Bulls sold their pick two or three drafts ago for around 3 million.  And to be honest, there was really no “tampering” in the sense that is normally thought of as their respective teams before they left showed no real inclination to wanting to keep them.
