I mean, it’s not like you could have gotten Jusef Nurkic or Serge Ibaka or Demarcus Cousins at the trade deadline for like, food stamps and a mascot or anything, so why get salty about it?

Well, bully on you, then. Make sure to take advantage of it. :)

You can’t just throw labels onto “guy shittily running his country”.

Feeling like the Black Knight, eh? You shouldn’t. You were mostly right.

I have never heard of, nor can I find, any instance of someone asserting that verticality applies all over the floor. I’ve only ever heard it used in reference to the restricted area, and the “word” only appears in the NBA rulebook in that section.

I’m going to guess, “was better at racing than someone else on his team whose contract was expiring”, or “participated in a sport that could be wagered upon”.

This is a good fear.

Racist. Stop using that as a synonym for “dick”. It’s not cool.

Verticality only applies in the restricted area, it is a foul outside of it.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone other than an exec gets fired with severance.

“Malt-o-Meal”, “Grits without butter”, “Country gravy sans sausage”, “Flour”, “Cornmeal”, “Baking powder”, “Baking soda”...

All it signifies in the pros is, “Guy who couldn’t grab the rim”.

Wrapping the arm around the screener, is a foul, I agree. You should be able to do the chicken-wing thing that offensive players get. So, a little leverage is ok, but like wrapping the guy up is not.

I may be thinking of Kendrick Perkins, then.

That’s not a thing. Extending your arm to use it as a wedge to get yourself through a narrow space is what you do instinctively as a human being. Also, as you point out below, moving screens are no longer screens, they’re pulling guards (Watch the 2009 Playoff series between Boston and Chicago and check out every game…

Burneko is wrong. If you jump on defense, that’s your own damn fault. That’s what pump fakes are specifically designed to earn you. On top of that, this isn’t even an egregious example. If Russ just goes up for a normal shot, Lou’s going to contact him.

I’m not sure they won’t. On top of that, Gareth Bale is out for however long he’s out, and Sergio Ramos is gonna miss a couple matches after the clapping and the thumbs up.
