Look at the good he did for The Game Of Basketball. Before Kobe, Basketball was boring and useless. I remember watching games as a kid and crying from boredom.

You know what’s actually lazy, Wilbon? Relying on the tired cliches offered by athletes and coaches to “tell a story.” I don’t want to read that the Royals success this year is attributed to their “toughness,” that they just “wanted it more,” that they were “focused,” or whatever bullshit.

The defense can do a lot more shifting than the offense can.

a fun, close game between two of the league’s best teams

Well that must be true if it was on a Twitter account...

FYI, the Bataclan is about as famous for us in France as the Belasco is in NY...
