The thing is that if you did for the height-without-shoes data on LJ out of college and compare it to Zion, they’re the Exact Same Size: 6'6" and 285 lbs.  But yes, imagine someone that big bulldozing taller-but-thinner players.  Yikes!

Another reason I bring up LJ is that his game was a lot more polished than people remember from the NBA.  The reason he had a career after he jacked up his back is that he had an actual game behind running the lane and destroying the poor fool who dared to fill it.  Zion’s game has a lot of that agile-for-a-big-guy…

I think part of why Zion Williamson is getting such shade is that NBA players have gotten noticeably lighter over the past decade or so. In the pace and space game, there’s not really a lane for bruisers anymore, and Zion Williamson is, at first glance, a BRUISER.

I’m just surprised that with his track record, he wanted to do Joker so seriously.  It just seems kind of random, like if Champ decided to do scientific literature reviews out of nowhere.

There’s two overlapping things going on. One is that when a piece of creative art has too much scrutiny and commentary on it, there’s a point where you can’t take it for what it is, but react to it as a reaction to everyone’s opinions. I think we’ll get a better idea about this movie in 10 years than we do now. The…

I totally concur. At the end of the day, that’s his brother, not a simply Black man. I think people were reacting more to how White people reacted to his actions than his actually actions. Like you said, he’s the one who has to live with a missing brother all those brothers and holidays for the rest of his life. He…

I’m not going to say that I’ve given up on football.  I went the light route by giving up fantasy football and anything not involving the Jets.  I threw that same energy into the WNBA, and I’ve been learning a lot.  I’ve also been struggling to keep up with baseball as well because I’ve thrown that energy into more…

Facts!  Danny Manning had a good career, but in the modern NBA, he would have been the GOAT.

A few thoughts:

The older I get, the more I realize how many dudes are on that creep life.  It’s not that I didn’t know they existed, but the sheer volume is disturbing.  And anyone who doesn’t think that doesn’t influence how women view sex as a whole, you’re a Damned Fool.  Also, remember that there’s 4x more teen moms than teen…

Look, I’m just glad I dunked on a regulation hoop in front of my daughter at the Basketball Hall of Fame. So long as your kids can say they saw you dunk, you good. :)

Negro, just go to a brick and mortal store.  This home delivery shit ain’t the wave for you.  LOL

We actually do field a team, but it’s (mostly) a squad of D-III All Stars, plus bored marginal D-I players who want something fun to do because we know they aren’t making the NFL.

How many ‘progressive’ women would look at that statement and go “Well, not only did he deny it, but he made sure to first point out that he’d never hit that because ‘ewwwww’. I’m still supporting him!”.

You’re right, but if you have paid attention to Trump, his ability to rally people to his cause and be wildly loyal to him is his greatest skill. Say what you will about all the grift and shadiness, but none of that is possible without a large number of people who would die for him at any day and time. People seemed…

I listened to this album during a long drive Sunday just off the strength of your recommendation.  I like what he's trying to do.  He's trying to do what Wyclef has always wanted to do, but somehow make it more accessible.  I definitely like it, and I will listen again. 

Nothing in this comment is a lie.  NOTHING.

Excellent point, and very informative.  I do think the choke point with this wasn’t the chicken per se as much as the buns.  

I get the hunch that a bunch of supplier executives are at Popeye’s headquarters now working out the details of making this permanent.  It’s obviously a hit.  They just need to source all the ingredients, particularly the buns.
