I really wish you weren’t absolutely right.

I’ve come close to accepting his act, but then there’s the misogyny and disrespect toward female journalists and refs.

First time on Deadspin?

Yeah, I especially enjoyed when he told Kristine Leahy to stay in her lane, then printed up t-shirts with that slogan.

Lonzo’s just over hyped. His court vision and passing are top-tier, but his game needs so much work (finishing, shooting, defending better than a pylon) everyone knew this, and should have known he wasn’t going to be an instant-impact rookie like Magic, MJ or LeBron.

You know, both have performed with WWE before. I’m sensing this year’s Wrestlemania main event.

Yeah, I feel differently about LaVar now than I did even a few weeks ago. I think it was watching him pull the wrestling heel act towards John Wall and the Wizards during halftime of the first Lakers-Wizards game (won by the Lakers). It was so obvious he was playing it up and having fun, I found myself smiling.

I used to loathe Lavar Ball. I thought he was a grandstanding troll that was coasting on the athletic ability of his oldest son.

Me reading your comment: “What about Tim Dunc — oh... yeah, sounds about right.”

I’m not sure there are ton of absolute, top-10 all-time athletes in any sport who also weren’t huge drama queens.

The Cavs organization should thank Chuck for lighting this fire. Bye bye Cavs skid.
