I don’t know what the average fan thinks, I am telling you what I think.

I gave my list elsewhere. I’m not trying to convince you, you don’t need to try to convince me.

I haven’t seen much of him other than against the Warriors, who often humiliate him so thoroughly* that I think that victim complex is still on display. If he’s been shedding it generally, good on him.

It’s a tossup. Draymond is always being the real Draymond, and that guy’s a dick. KD is never not being the fake KD, which is really the only thing that makes him a dick. I have more respect for Draymond but I still think he’s a bigger asshole.

Keep your weirdo complaints about this blog out of my replies you c.nt

I think I like your list better but mine is:

Look, I get it: You want to know how your kid’s day was. Whether they’re 5 or 15, you want to know every detail

I agree with this but I am so bad at conversation, even with my own child, that I do it anyway. But in my defense: I don’t press if she doesn’t have anything she wants to share, and I know her well enough to know that she will never answer the question because she’s “eager to please.”

I am not going to try to talk you out of your view of Cousins but I sure do disagree with it.

(In all seriousness though I completely agree with this post; no I don’t like him; yes I am skeptical he helps a team trying to contend for high-level success; but hell yes I think he’s great at playing basketball and it sucks that we can’t watch him do that the rest of the season.)

As a Warriors fan this just makes me sad because that’s one less team against whom the dubs don’t field the biggest asshole on the court.

Just one example of the overarching strategy of everyone in Trumpland: declare all outcomes victory.

No no, old boy, you’re just not in on the joke! The whole idea is to browbeat the phony virtue-signalling left into compliance with its phony virtue-signalling ethics, and then enjoy a hearty laugh when they expect, against all evidence and reason for the millionth time, that we would ever play by those ridiculous…

You can always count on deadspin to cover the top hispanic prospects - the beaming level latins.

I raise a glass of Balvenie Single Malt in toast to your comment!

Oh I know ... it’s just ... so ... obvious ...

I know. I am yelling at a wall. But Sean, my dude:

Again - you could be right, but no one will ever know because we have never stopped paying attention and we never will. (And I would contend that a very significant reason those yahoos paid him serious attention was precisely because he was already, and had for a long time been, a Very Famous Man To Whom Everyone Pays…

I know what a metaphor is. What should I google?

I know it is but a passing rhetorical reference in this piece, but I really wish people would stop talking about the Actually Not Serious Men Whose Arbitrary And Hokey Clock Metaphor Does Not Mean Anything And Doesn’t Even Work On Its Own Terms Because Clocks Only Move In One Direction And At One Pace And Always…
