“Step 3.) Don’t expect a fucking cookie for being a good person. This ain’t kindergarten and no one is giving you a gold star for having good manners or sharing.”

At worst he plays like a late-career Andre Miller that grew 4 inches (more like 6, I’d bet). There’s a reason Magic loves Ball’s game.

I dunno, he looked really good holding up Wall. His length and position really bothered Wall and more than made up for his relatively slow footspeed. Half the starting guards in the NBA haven’t ever had as good a game defending Wall as Ball did.

He did last night. He went right at Beverly and blew by him. It’s not all about foot speed, timing and court awareness are a huge part of the game.

Great article. My only concern is that people don’t focus on the poverty aspect and not the race aspect.

Things I’m utterly sympathetic to: people getting hassled for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Things I have to fight to have sympathy for: skateboarders intending to whip inches away from a cop at high speeds getting the People’s Shoulder from a cop.

There was TONS of criticism of those crazy bastards. Do a search for “The Vagina is Not a Clown Car,” for instance.

Is “amusing” a new way of spelling “tragic?” Because speaking for white people, that show’s all about the moral and psychological trainwreck of having 16+ kids. A very, very small percentage of us white people think it’s showing a cool thing, and we white people think those knuckleheads’re all crazy as loons (i.e.,…

You’re kind of lucky you didn’t get a knife in the kidneys.

He was there because she was trespassing and she wouldn’t leave. He couldn’t walk away.
