That’s fairly accurate. Walker essentially fathered Rose but never once bothered to get in touch with him until he got famous. I remember Rose being very forthright about his father when he said something like “it’s nice that he tried to get in touch with me once I became famous, but what about all the years he didn’t…

Henry Bibby was a straight up womanizer (Daryl Dawkins talked about this in length a couple of times on various podcasts) even before Mike was born which led to his parents divorce when MIke was 3 or 4. Mike literally did not grow up at all with his father around and his mother Virginia raised him and his brother and…

and...checkmate. well played.

Also, mouth cancer and a variety of other medical problems since he retired from baseball. I’m actually surprised he’s alive to see 50.

I barely remember any of these people as people, let alone celebrities.

Well, he did produce the Tucker Max movie in 2008 at which point I just lost whatever waning interest I had in him as a filmmaker after Southland Tales. I could excuse ST as the work of a director who had nobody around him to curb his excesses, I just couldn’t excuse his choice to produce IHTSBIH which was just an…

During the late 90's I worked as a telecom sales recruiter dealing with sales executives who were selling into Fortune 500 companies at a universal level, meaning they were selling directly to the COO’s of these organizations so their entire company would switch over to whatever service the salesmen were representing.…

“Again, you’re talking about the past, I’m talking about the present. He is not a good defensive guard anymore”

Quicksilver

Dude, Chris Paul is an all time top 5 defensive point guard. Nobody has ever said that his defense is overrated due to inflated steal stats because unlike players like say...Chris Mullin, who knew how to jump passing lanes to get steals while not being a good one on one defensive player, Paul actually shuts his man…

I disagree. It wasn’t something that was lost in translation, it was more of a case of a guy who said something to a friend about the flood in Houston and how the Warriors flood the baskets with 3 pointers, and the friend probably thought it was hysterical, so the reporter ran with the line of questioning because if…

Dude, where has Chris Paul ever been a defensive liability? He’s been 1st team all defense the previous 4 seasons (the all defensive team hasn’t been announced this season but hes a lock to be 1st or 2nd team).

I’d say that if Cleveland doesn’t make it to the finals then I’d make an offer for Griffin that would include Love, a throw in and a draft pick. I think Love is a better fit on the Clippers due to his ability to stretch the floor, rebound and pass. He’d also probably be happier in LA where he’d be the number 1 option…

I’m going to leave it at this, I really hope he didn’t go to his junior prom.

I started feeling for the guy when I heard he was from Sudan.

Perhaps, but my other arguments do stand. He is injury prone. The team, despite being front loaded with very talented players (Griffin being the best or 2nd best player on the team depending on whom you’re talking to) is still losing to teams in the playoffs that they should easily blow away. The team lacks depth and…

This! 1000 times, this!

I totally agree. Blake Griffin is easily the better player compared to Jordan. That said, if I were the Clippers I would trade Griffin right now while his value is still huge. They could easily get back a couple of good young players with potential plus a boatload of draft picks or trade him for another superstar with…

Unless Jordan beat the shit out of another Clippers employee and injured himself for 1/2 the season without anybody noticing, then no, I meant Griffin.

I think they move on from Griffin at this point. As good as he is, he doesn’t have the type of game that will age well once his athletic ability starts to decline and frankly the situation where he beat the shit out of a Clippers employee is really ugly no matter how people want to spin it.
