How do people not see this??

Yes

When you factor in that he then had to drive back... He made very little money

By surly you mean an intelligent outspoken proud politically active black practicing Muslim during the civil rights movement, right?

I agree in principle but he aint fast. He’s one of the slowest footed guys in the league, which is his main limitation. Otherwise hes smart, good shooter, great passer for a big, can handle the ball a bit on the perimeter at 7ft, etc. but hes a defensive sieve and foul machine because he’s sooooo slow

Scott brooks also committed coaching malpractice. By working almost 0 minutes for his bench in the 2nd and 3rd it was predictable that the Celtics would go on a big run to start the 4th. Wizards starters were completely gassed, white Stevens rotated in 3 bench guys for 20+ minutes each to keep his guys fresh for the…

Yes. Anthony Bennett and Michael Olowokandi are monstrous fuckups. Greg Oden isnt.

Yeah when a team wins by double digits despite shooting 70 billion threes and only making 20% of them, it says something real bad about the team that lost

You don’t understand. To Deadspin writers ANYONE who writes for a rival publication is by definition an uncool hack worthy of smug snark and derision. That’s the Deadspin m.o.

That is literally insane. No wonder they are so bad. They’ve hit on 4 (maybe 5 if Coleman pans out) of their past 21 first rounders??

3? Don’t be so charitable

Whats whater?

Least favorite genre of Deadspin post: petty snark at Deadspin competitors.

And his team lost!

Yes, in a Celtics series, Thomas will score on him with ease. But Kyrie will be guarded by Bradley, while Thomas hides on Shumpert. So only one of them will be scoring effortlessly.

Did you know that if you flip a coin thats weighted 67% to heads, it will come up tails 1 out of every 3 flips?! Fascinating I know!!

Its still not smart. If he’s basically bottom of the barrel doesn’t it make more sense to invest that money elsewhere and just take a mid round flier on some rookie? If you’re getting borderline replacement level talent regardless, might as well just pay less and get to roll the dice that you discover another Dak. At…

If you played a decade in the NFL, youd probably walk a little hobbled too. Thats the gait of someone whos probably had half a dozen surgeries in his knee and legs for various injuries over the years...

I imagine the moment they confirmed he was Ricky Williams they realized the dash video would likely come out, so they spent the rest of the interaction trying to retroactively justify themselves to the video camera by making up all these excuses about why they had to stop him
