The NBA is so good. This is the only league in which ownership and executive management go to the player. In other leagues you hear about the player flying to various cities and meeting with ownership/management.

What Thicke is experiencing reminds me of what Ethan Hawke experienced after he cheated on Uma Thurman when he assumed she was cheating on him with Quinton Tarantino.  

That’s the thing. Oakland has always supported the Dubs, even during the time period in which the players succeeded despite utter dysfunction from ownership and management. I remember the We Believe Warriors. They were eclectic, exciting and rebellious. Who can forget when Baron rose on AK-47? Or Captain Jack? Monte…

The Glazers are simply following the line of next-level greed for sports owners. Next they’ll blame their dwindling attendance on Hurricane Hugo.  

Not only this but the narrative is he attempts to complete absolve himself of any blame whatsoever when things go awry.

Excellent point. The league is filled with so many people who don’t have a single clue of what they’re doing. No wonder Stern had to reset the economics of the sport because these buffoons would blow it all.

Exhibit 435 on why the NBA is the best form of sports entertainment on the planet. It is just dominating the sports news cycle. Ever since the league took the shine from the NFL during Superbowl week, the NBA has utterly owned the cycle; and it is only going to get better over the next 2 months: the Finals, the Draft,…

So the business partner/childhood friend of the most powerful athlete on the planet is having lunch with the most influential commissioner in all of team sports AND the agent/childhood friend of said athlete has the freedom to openly suggest a removal of current staff under the guise said commissioner can facilitate…

Something Hampton said that resonated with me and it regarded Luka. The fact that Luka has been playing professionally since 14 prepared him for the NBA. In other words, Luka was being paid in his chosen profession. This man just cited Doncic as the template others will use. It makes perfect sense for Hampton: he’s…

The utter hypocrisy of Boston sports fan and their incessant media is beyond the pale. Their utter hatred and disdain for the man surely cost years off his life. Boston sports fan are so stupid they tend to forget that a (it was only Game 6,    b (Boston blew a 3-run lead in Game 7, and c (they wouldn’t have even made…

Damn. I know we have lived in bizarro since the turn of the millennium but the lack of human decency and self-awareness continues to amaze. This is about as low as anyone can get.

Did I say GSW didn’t beat a team with an elite wing? I said their original dilemma of dealing with an elite wing without one (assuming Durant doesn’t play) is there. They beat OKC with Durant because Klay went apeshit, Russ was ball-hogging beyond belief in Games 6 and 7 and Durant was jacking up ridiculous shots in…

This is the series the Dubs need Kevin Durant. Throughout their 5-year run, they’ve only faced 3 elite wings (who happen to be the top-3 players on Earth). Incidentally one of those wings now play for them, another one they injured while he was dominating them (and now they’re facing him again), and we all know who…

And that’s exactly what the NBA will be doing. It’s no secret the G-League will have 30 teams with direct affiliations with the parent club within the next 2 years. 

The one team that had the length you speak of in the past had the series won but a ballhog and a mentally-fragile superstar who was one foot out of the door choked it away.

So “losing” 15% of your earning power is nothing?

And this is how the Warriors can stay together (albeit there is no way Lacob is paying 4 guys $200 million - the tax bill will be nearly that amount alone). Let me explain:

They clearly screwed up the entire supermax thing. I get the premise behind it but you have guys who are not even close to supermax players but believe they are based on the criteria. To me, there are only a handful or so players in the entire league worth supermax money. We all know who they are.

This is all true.

Dunno. I only watch for the live sports like Hulu.
