I’m not going to lie. I kinda’ like it. I’ve always appreciated tricksiness in the athletes I root for.

I get the impression that it’s a mental thing. Most, if not all, of them can make them just fine in an empty gym. They just can’t repeat the task under pressure.

Absolutely.

That’s certainly possible. More charitably though, he’s not a braggart but a guy who grew up nerdy and awkward around women who’s been told women want guys with money and believed it. I don’t think that viewpoint is uncommon, especially among young men.

It is in some places. Especially for someone who grew up in a lower middle-class household.

I would add to NHSGU that he use his money to dress well and get good haircuts and drive a nice car and eat at expensive restaurants. But he shouldn’t do all that to flaunt his wealth. He should only do those things if they’ll improve his day-to-day happiness. The doc is right that the biggest advantage of having…

It doesn’t really matter at this point, does it? It was wrong and she knows it was wrong.

And then if you walk out of a pointless interview like this a few questions early after a crushing loss like Cam Newton did, you get called a crybaby for the rest of your career.

I agree. I’m more of the belief that all human lives have value and we shouldn’t willingly sacrifice the life of as stranger on the other side of an imaginary line to protect a stranger on our side of it. But if you’re going to have loyalty to a specific country, it should probably be yours, assuming your home country…

It’s possible to believe that our immigration policy was too lax before 9/11 and we should have stopped those responsible from coming in while also believing that we have plugged the necessary gaps since then and Trump’s ban is both hateful and unnecessary.

I don’t mean development as in learning now to play basketball. Everyone, on every level needs time to develop and grow into a position when given a new role. If someone else in your workplace is so controlling that you never get to meaningfully contribute, that’s likely going to hurt your growth at the company and…

Yeah. Oladipo is potentially a better fit offensively for the team than late-period Ibaka would be, but he’s not living up to that billing. Having Ibaka at power forward would allow them to play Kanter more.

You don’t average 10 assists per game if the players on your team can’t make open shots. My point is that there’s a significant difference between passing the ball to a guy as the shot-clock expires with the expectation that he’ll shoot immediately and passing it to him earlier in the shot clock with time to create…

Not all passes are created equally.

He’s a Wizards fan.

There’s no doubt that the Thunder are very limited offensively outside of Westbrook and his fellow defensive liability Canter. The question is how much of that is on Westbrook for not giving his teammates a chance to develop and get into a groove through the course of the season.

Yeah. Holden Caulfield is the comparison I sometimes make. Though Quentin is way smarter and more mature than Holden and not an active misanthrope. But it’s a good example of a novel that’s still absolutely worth reading despite having a main character who can be grating an unlikeable.

I really hope he can return to form. I really wanted to see him overtake Nadal and Sampras and challenge Federer in terms of total grand slams. Even with Federer adding another victory to his total, it’s still possible if he can be the player he was just last year for another few years.

Yeah. That’s one of the things I’ve appreciated the most about it, how all over the place it is.

How does it stay on his head like that?
