I’ve been loving it. Not surprised to see the players hating it...it doesn’t paint them in the best light. I’d imagine the truth is somewhere in between.

I was that kid. He absolutely didn’t tell me to fuck off.

I was that child actor. Kareem absolutely did not tell me to fuck off. We had zero interactions off camera. He was exactly as he describes himself. Extremely shy and focused on the task at hand. I’m enjoying the show though.

Very interesting, but I don’t understand why the picture is of Roger Murdock, airline pilot.

Oh yeah? Well how about you tell your TV show to drag Tokyo Vice and Succession up and down the court for 48 minutes!

God I love this show. It’s not perfect but it’s just what I needed from the series, honestly.

I disagree with Cap on the characterizations, but I will say, the “creative liberties” taken in the most recent episode were very distracting. The show went too far in trying to generate drama by creating a fake losing streak.

“...It’s Drearily Dull.” Which is exactly what you would expect Kareem, as depicted in Winning Time, to say. And then he says it in real life. 

Might be less dull if you worked harder on defense.

I’ve seen The Magic Hour. Magic Johnson is his own crude stick figure.

Watching Kareem in his prime was almost a religious experience. He perfectly blended size, strength, speed and grace. He, not MJ and not LeBron, is the greatest player ever.

But he was a fucking asshole and I grow so weary of him being one of a billion other people trying to claim some mental health bullshit to excuse…

James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump, who spirals into his usual digressive pop-cultural arias that frankly aren’t that funny when you think about everything that’s at stake.

I cannot believe I miss Perkins. I hate-read his whiny reviews for so long. But I guess it’s true you don’t appreciate what you have till it’s gone.

If you are going to book a host who breaks every 10 seconds, why bother writing good material. She will screw it up anyway (and boy did she.) She was an awful host.

Trying to hold it down for the old AVClub.

I thought the only band the AVClub was ever all about was Dawes.

Absolutely fucking stunning that no one in this gang of experts realizes that a full third of these artists are not actually “frontpeople”, which requires that you are the member of a *band*.

I get being snide, you have to defend yourself, but this website used to run articles that meant so much to me. I have been here for almost a decade, and now it has became a low rent Rolling Stone. You stayed when your brothers and sisters were fucked by management, you now have to write articles about music that are…

Be careful not to romanticize the past too much. Cookie Monster was a virulent racist and a Kaiser Wilhelm II apologist, for example.

I assume that when you don’t end your sentences with periods, it’s completely intentional. But why?
