Well then you aren’t as dumb, but that makes the analogy shit.

Subtext here is that you, thebunk, understand winning basketball better than Phil Jackson. Let that sink in. I get calling him out for saying this to the media, but you are a delusional clown if you are questioning his basketball acumen.

A lot of heat on this take. Do you understand the triangle offense at all? I like Melo but he does fuck it up. I will say that it’s better if these conversations don’t go through the media, but Phil is right.

Marketability of players is largely a myth. Fans consistently show up more when teams win, regardless of whether the players are marketable.

Well delusional college hippies who can’t come to grasp with Trump are imagining 270 electors voting for Hillary (that is what this article is about), which would be as much of a stolen election as you could have, and would probably be the worst thing to happen to the legitimacy of the United States since the Civil…

This is your best work all year.

So which books should we burn first?

I’d rather take my chances with the general public that you see yourself and presumably your ilk (politically like-minded people) as being far superior to rather than have the freedom of expression be eroded in the name of saving people from themselves. I am by every fact-based measure (grades in school, standardized…

There it is. “Someone disagrees with me (about free expression and the marketplace of ideas) so he is racist *plugs fingers into ears* and I don’t have to listen, lalalalalala!”

My response was not meant with animus towards you specifically. Best of luck.

You don’t have to present ideas as equal or unequal. You let the marketplace of ideas decide. If you’d rather use propaganda to only present “approved” ideas, you are a horrible fascist.

No, they say only black people matter and then beat up white people in parking garages. I already said they are racist and you are defending them. So you are a hypocrite. The conversation shouldn’t even be happening.

You are putting a lot of words in my mouth. That aside, If I said “I won’t even listen to anyone talking about BLM because it’s racist and that isn’t up for debate,” that makes me good in your eyes. I’m wholly rejecting racism and not giving the “other side” a chance to illegitimately explain their position. Hooray…

Being in a position of power (ignoring the predictable race baiting) in the United States is laughably less advantageous than a place like Brazil or Colombia. You are more likely to receive justice in the United States than anywhere in the world or at any time in history. Sorry if your freshman sociology professor…

Why is that necessary? I was thought the theories of the free market and central planning and was able to determine which one was superior without anyone holding my hand. Historically the people that only want one view to be presented are assholes like Lenin.

No, you are doing a fine job. The problem here is that you don’t want “bad” ideas to be heard and dismissed as bad, you want them to be hidden because you are a paternalistic and arrogant arbiter of truth and morality. These are the traits of Lenin et al.

I mean I don’t want to get into a debate about moral objectivity, but every asshole dictator ever said he was objectively right, also every asshole non-dictator. Believing in the unassailable truth of your own views is the surest sign of an asshole.

You want to trade our CJ system for which South American paradise now?

Pleasantly surprised the comments aren’t filled with obvious and stale Goodell jokes.

Yes, it’s almost as if after 30 years of nasty identity politics there was a reaction!! Shocking, I know.
