I blame online dating. 

I went to high school in Oregon where everybody loves Walton because he was a big part of that one championship they had before I was born. Anyway, my history teacher was a basketball fiend and had been an attorney before teaching. Through a mutual friend the history teacher played a pickup game with Bill Walton, who…

I don’t doubt that. And I could even see that being “acceptable” because it’s a single dose on a single day, which is different from telling a guy to use it for 14 weeks until the season ends. 

Seems like Oklahoma made that turn too Soon. [lowers sunglasses]

I’m not familiar with toradol (the drug mentioned in the article) but a quick search indicates it’s typically used before surgery or during recovery from surgery and to not use it more than five days. I find it unlikely Osemele is getting surgery in the first five days from four weeks ago. And yes, team docs serve the…

Don’t get me wrong, she’s not writing anything objectively good, but it’s better in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and breadth of vocabulary than everything Trump writes.

Everyone thinks I’m at least 6’7”. It’s bullshit. Don’t put those fake inches on me. 

Despite being dead center of the most fertile agricultural area in the US, Sacramento smells less like shit than all of the peninsula.

That’s why they write sports blogs and don’t make these decisions—there’s reason to believe the Suns and Knicks have made all personnel their decisions because of Deadspin blogs.

My wife moved to Sacramento as a kid in the 90s and basically grew up there. She says it’s much better now than it was even ten years ago. Is it New York of San Francisco? Hell no, but it’s not Buffalo or Milwaukee either. Also as much love as Portland gets, Sacramento is much better than Portland, which mostly sucks. 

While I hear what you’re saying, it clearly hasn’t built any goodwill with ownership who couldn’t care less about the players except whether those players are making them money, and it undermines the strength of the union as it says to each member that other members do not have your back.

Players start their shooting motion at or near the top of their head, which is the first opportunity to contest a shot. No one shoots with their arm straight up over their head, ever. 

This. Is being a quarter inch taller than someone an advantage in basketball? No. Half inch? No. Full inch? Maybe. More than an inch? Yes. 

I’m pretty sure every guy who’s approximately 5’10” claims to be 6’, which is why no one cane grasp that I’m only 6’5” while still being 7” taller than all those other guys. 

I’d think many professional athletes would use the same style of shoes throughout the season due to comfort with the feel of the shoe or superstition, or some combination of the two. More importantly, who cares about some guy that wears Kobe’s one day and LeBron’s the next? I want to know how much height a player…

Aw but the problem with Walton was never his height, it’s that he’s apparently a douche and a terrible commentator. 

It’s weird that Steph Curry’s high school team was also called the Golden State Warriors. 

As a parent of a current fourth-grader, I object to this demeaning and mean-spirited characterization of fourth grade writing and speaking skills. 

And these aren’t even mutually exclusive since they could have had “experts” the include Don Jr claim it’s unclimbable despite never having actually tested whether it’s all that hard to climb. 

Of thirty that can be slipped between the gaps.
