What is the likelihood that Dwight Howard is mildly retarded?

Your logic:

This kind of talent assessment bodes well for the New York Knicks’ future...

You could also go look at the rosters and see that Steph Curry would be a big guard back then. Seriously, Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain were enormous compared to their contemporaries.

Actually, I don’t think this even happened on air (emphasis mine):

Yo man, I’m talking about the fact that more of this stuff seems to be hitting the public airwaves.

Sure, but did live shows suddenly become tougher to pull off?

It’s amazing to watch ESPN’s clusterfuck-ery seep its way into all aspects of the company. It really is as if Skip Bayless and Stephen Smith have metastasized, and are spreading through the company’s bloodstream.

Fair enough.

I’m not saying he “appears to have ascended effortlessly.” I’m saying he DID ascend QUICKLY. These things are not up for debate.

You’re wrong about qualifications and you know it.

You have yet to raise a single legitimate critique of my comment b/c you have yet to critique a single part of my comment that I actually said.

He moved to the United States in 2011, was on The Tonight Show in January of 2012 and was named Stewart’s replacement in March of 2015.

Nowhere did I say Trevor Noah should not speak on the the issue. He’s got as much right as anyone else. Paul Mooney has more right to speak on it than anyone I can think of, but that doesn’t make him the best messenger if you want to reach people beyond the choir.

What are you even talking about?

Trevor Noah is very qualified—and consequently would be a terrific choice—to discuss racism in general and/or a variety of its specific manifestations.

“I don’t want to sound racist, but...”

Maybe you should find a better messenger for how racist Hollywood/show business is than a 32-year-old comedian who was given one of the highest-profile jobs in television despite being a relative unknown and has proceeded to struggle in the job?

This is really the NFL vs. players relationship in a nutshell, isn’t it?

I’m flattered you’re going through and reading all my comments.
