He has no rational excuse for what he did and anyone who argues that he does is is an asshole. If he had a brain that could be construed as his thought process, but obviously he was completely out of control. Which is why a game suspension would be fair.

It’s like saying “we need to examine this puddle more closely to see how deep it is”

I disagree, this was actually brilliant. They both want to run for congress and this is their first step in burnishing their credentials with idiot republican voters.

These two employees are so silly, if they wanted to say these things and keep their jobs they should have done so while President.

On Tuesday, November 28^th, two employees of KIOW made comments that were insensitive, thoughtless and degrading to others. These comments were deplorable, and the staff and management of KIOW in no way condones or supports these comments.

To make matters even worse, it turns out Rose’s recently turned-in “What I Did During My Vacation” essay was plagiarized.

This is a horrific take. The Lakers are a bad team. I mean, who’s the best player on the team? Brook Lopez? The guy who was heading the last placed Nets for the past billion years?

The Lakers are very much not an average team. Their overall talent-level, in terms of players who can contribute to winning basketball, is incredibly low.

I mean, it isn’t exactly hard to figure out what’s going on there if you’ve ever had any exposure to games with relationship dynamics...

Hi LaVar. Welcome to deadspin.

Okay. I didn’t know that. Even so, that is a LOT of reading into yesterday’s game.

Does “Furious Five” refer to the number of pairs of Ball’s sneakers you bought?

Yeah I am reading these comments and it just keeps getting dumber and dumber. Like, “okay yeah Patrick Beverley can be kind of an ass, sure...” “huh, that’s kind of a random thing to point out, some sort of jealousy....” “wait, this makes no sense...” “wait, this REALLY makes no sense....”

I love how this Big Baller Brander keeps doubling down as if he will eventually come up big.

Wait, what? Do you know something about Patrick Beverley’s childhood that literally no one else does? Or are you just.... like, saying stuff?

If Lavar Ball and Donald Trump fucked, this comment would be their baby.

“...who wouldn’t dare to engage in a verbal match with Lavar”

I don’t think you understood the comparison. Especially since Zaza is 7 feet tall and NOT talentless.

Might be a good place for a reminder that Beverley played all those years in Russia (which is just a delightful place to be for a dark-skinned black man), waiting to get onto the back end of an NBA roster. If there’s a more starkly contrasting player to Ball in the NBA, I’d love to know.
