Um, you are fogetting the Reggie Miller 9 pts in 8 seconds. Jordans shot against the Cavs, Jordans shot, steal shot, vs. the Jazz, Basically Robert Horry’s entire career. Lebron’s play is absolutely in that conversation, and I’m not knocking it, just saying there are a lot of great plays that kept teams alive/won…

Thank you, Simmons is not a point forward. He can’t shoot, In fact they suck at shooting as a team, and they don’t have much if anything at guard, or small forward/wing that can actually spread out a defense. I would play d 15 ft and in against the sixers and keep them off the glass (most of their bigs aren’t even…

You are right about the process. Teams who aren’t contenders should be trying to tank to get the next superstar. But the Sixers don’t have that player on their roster, after 4 drafts (simmons is a fine player maybe, but his outside shooting is below average, and his post game isn’t that great. He’s going to have a…

The Sixers have been pretty upfront about their rebuild. There are 4 tiers of teams in the NBA, Tier 1. Teams with stars that can win the title (there are about 4-5 (actually 2 this year, but I’m being generous). Tier 2. Really young teams that are a player or two away from the top tier its like 4-5 teams (think…

Absolutely illegal formation. (Can’t have more than 4 people in the backfield in college).

It also would’ve been illegal formation (you have to have people on the line of scrimmage other than the center) and the play would not have counted as well as losing some yardage.

Hey, i love sports, but I don’t take my political view from the athletes (or celebrities). I look at what is important to my family, and go from there. Athletes are very talented people, and I think it’s a good thing when they speak their opinion on things that are important (cause hey, use your platform). If we don’t…

Here’s the thing. No one should care what Celebrities political leanings are, but they should vote their own opinion. I’m in the HRC camp (pretty much can’t vote for trump, Johnson and stein are idiots, so there isn’t much choice, even though I’m not thrilled about it). But I don’t care what other people think, and…

I bet the MLB is more balanced then you think. There are so many people of varied backgrounds in baseball. NHL is probably pretty pro trump (It’s expensive, so probably most american Hockey players come from relatively wealthy families. Hockey might be very white, but a lot of that white is from other countries too.…

“You could argue that it was LeBron James himself, with help from his then-Miami Heat teammates, who kickstarted the new wave of athletes expressing themselves politically”

I don’t disagree at all, however, in this case, ODB was flagged for contact with an official (however slight it might have been, I felt like it was mildly intentional), and that is pretty much a no-no in every major sport (See what happens in the MLB if you look at Joe West, let alone touch him). I mean to officials…

Two part answer. #1. This stupid shit won’t ruin the league, just like there were people who thought the extreme celebrations of the TO/Joe Horn/Moss/Ocho Cinco era which drew criticism from the old white’s that fund much of the league, and the league feared the next level of celebrations, and what that might do to…

Honestly, Saw the hit, it was targeting only because he was a kicker. It wasn’t helmet to helmet or really even that bad. If the kicker runs down the field to blow up a returner, which is something this thicker kicker (I love me some fat kickers. This guy needs to develop a drug and alcohol problem, and I might like…

Is it possible that his statement was not in response to the BLM movement, and more in response to the fact that people are getting shot in Chicago in record numbers? I’m not saying he’s not still and idiot (cause anyone who jumps into a sporting event like that is an idiot, so that goes without saying).

I hate that man sooo much, and it’s basically only because somehow he became the mascot for the famous chicago sports fan. I mean, Eddie Vedder is a huge cubs fan, why can’t he be interviewed whenever the cubs do anything. It’s always the no talent hack Jim Belushi who only shows up once every couple decades when the…

I completely understand the black lives matter movement, and the hate directed to the “all lives matter” response to that movement. I also think it’s funny to suggest that All lives matter in on it’s surface a racist statement (I understand it’s been used in response to black lives matter, but on the surface of it,…

edit- not saying kaepernick is ignorant, saying he’s trying to bring light to issues that many are ignorant about (or willfully ignorant about).

Because we know Obama reads Deadspin every morning: Colin Kaepernick’s protest has nothing to do with the military.

Your last sentence is exactly what I think will happen. At this point I don’t know how they win a game this year, but I’m convinced they will somehow find a way to win 5 games, and be stuck with a pick in the 6-10 range, which is good, but basically no better than being in the teens. If you are going to suck, then…

I said it in a previous article about this. Anytime Rose says anything that’s not scripted, he says something that makes himself look bad. I’m not saying he’s innocent, cause you just never know how screwed up a person might be. But along those same lines, it’s just as possible it could be a jaded ex out for $$$. …
