T-Mac reached an insane peak for one season in the middle of a pretty great prime. He would probably be considered on the level of Kobe is he could have won a few championships (thus taking a few away from Kobe). He just had terrible luck with finding a healthy team to lead.

Yeah this is pretty bad. Even the most ardent Kobe hater would be hard pressed to take anyone but Magic, Kareem, and Wilt ahead of him, with about 50/50 split on him vs Shaq.

How long has it been since you’ve had an opportunity to post something Darius Miles related?

The Las Vegas hate comes from only doing 2-3 day strip party vacations right?

Wow. I'm not sure if you realize how insane you sound saying that Jerami Grant could turn in to Harrison Barnes: I hope for your sake you're right. Their talent pedigree is very very different.

That same article says he married his high school sweetheart in 2013 - so he got married when he was 22? And then got a sweetheart job in his early early 20s and then publicly, literally, fucked it up?

He is ranked 218 (out of 349) in the league in PER...what am I missing here?

I’ve also started reading articles like this as null hypothesis that prove Hinkie’s strategy wrong.

God this is perfect

I’m a pretty big music obsessive, and part of my pay comes from me knowing music.

You’re definitely helping your image as a nuanced thinker by comparing Merle to the Nazis, here.

The TPups may have a brighter, more cohesive future with a pretty entertaining current on-court product than the Sixers, but I can’t help wondering: did they do the right thing for the wrong reasons?

That’s actually the opposite of a counterpoint, since its exactly what what medrawt is saying.

Sam Hinkie misread the writing prompt as “are you smart?” instead of “why does the result of your process consistently fucking suck?”

I get that you are going out of your way to not sound like an ass, but this opinion of women’s basketballs watch ability is literally the default opinion of most male sports fans so it’s kinda useless to spout it off.

Truly a tradition like none other.
