In 1998, the Rockets had the 14th, 16th and 18th picks, but somehow left hometown high school star Rashard Lewis crying in the green room. Instead they took quasi-ok-ish Michael Dickerson, expired mayonnaise Bryce Drew and something called a Mirsad Turckan. The three combined for 156 total games played in Houston.

the god damn Bulls traded the draft rights to Lamarcus Aldridge for fucking Tyrus Thomas god dammit arghhhhh

As a Pistons fan I reason that Joe D knew the kind of player he had with Prince and didn’t want him to get buried on the bench with Carmelo or D-Wade taking his minutes. So he purposely took Darko to let Tayshaun flourish and block Reggie Miller in the conference finals. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

JOHNNY FUCKING FLYNN.

I mean, as a Nuggets fan I could not believe that any team would pass over Carmelo in that spot. He looked so dominant at Syracuse, seemed like a slam dunk pick right there. Word was that Kiki Vandeweghe wanted Darko way more than he wanted Melo. I was thrilled we got the third pick instead of the second. 9 times out…

In 1998 the Sixers took Larry Hughes one pick before Dirk. Reversing that would have prevented Sam Hinkie from ever being born.

Well I’m a Blazer fan, so fuck this question.

Taking any one of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, or Dwyane Wade over Darko, obviously. That pick had the potential to be a “James Worthy to the Lakers” kind of dynasty maker. Instead, the Pistons took a player whose greatest career accomplishment is getting a blog named after him.

Viola Davis: She’s just like the rest of us!

I really think this is a big part of what doomed Mighty No. 9 from the start:

If he really wanted to torture the cast, he’d have made them listen to the last “30 Seconds to Mars” album!

Bullshit. If this were method acting, none of us would know anything about these antics. This is ego-driven exhibitionism, the knowledge of which we will carry with us into the theater, where it will interfere with the performance on the screen. It’s not about the role at all, it’s all about Jared Leto: Actor. If you…

6/21/16

that’s basically the plot of an old else worlds. The Actor playing Batman in the golden era of Hollywood gets conked on the head, thinks he’s acutally batman, steals the batmobile and other gear from set, and terrorizes the criminals of mid century LA.

...and then he has a fight with Jennifer Garner over child support and she stabs him with her sai.

6/21/16

I, uh...

6/21/16

Then Afleck loses himself in the delusion that he really is Batman and starts talking to reporters and working on scripts just hanging out in the Cowl. Then finally he goes out to fight crime.

6/21/16

That sounds like a better plot, honestly.

6/21/16

What if Leto gets so deep into the role that his mind cracks under the strain of all that method acting and he starts believing that he really is the Joker, and begins committing violent, absurd, elaborate capers?
