You pointed out (but undersold) the main difference. Popovich cares about his players and, it seems, people in general. His surliness to the NBA brass, officials, and NBA media is, with few exceptions, completely appropriate. I loved the thing he did back in 2012 to send four of his best players home from a road trip…

We saw it: He won 4 championships in 11 years.  Tim Duncan was as Elite as they come and he was coached by Pop his entire career.

When Pop finally retires from coaching, he can probably get steady work in sci-fi movies as the crazy town elder who yells things like “I’VE BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS” and “I TOLD YOU THEY WERE COMING.”

You’re taking too much stock in team record in the PL...At the end of the day it’s all about points. Who gives a shit if they didn’t lose once? They took 12 draws in that span and ended with less points than both Liverpool and Man City will have this season.

32W/4D/2L > 26W/12D/0L --- there’s a reason they give more points for wins.

City and Liverpool already have more wins this season than Arsenal had that season and would have to lose their last three games by a combined 20 and 12 goals respectively to finish with fewer points and the same goal differential. 

To all the mouth-breathers i the comments saying “BUT SHE SAID ONE OF THE WORST, NOT THE WORST!,” here’s a couple other awful things that happened to Germany that weren’t the holocaust in the last century

I am going to guess that she thinks that the Holocaust is a “topic up for serious debate.”*

Adam Sandler is as good as it gets for conservatives IMO

That Jeff Dunham is a hoot! “I’ll KEEL YOU!”

This response is particularly maddening given that it is being voiced by many folks in the generation that actually DID have free or close to it college available to them through heavily-subsidized state school programs. So, basically Go F yourself, Grandpa. Your opinion means less than nothing to me.

Name one funny Conservative comedian. Go!

Kinda surprised this isn't on Deadspin, what with it ending up being a dunk contest and all

I find this extremely frustrating. Everyone told us growing up the only option was to go to college and get the degree otherwise we would be doomed to a life of mediocrity. In fact when I didn’t go to college right away (I did two years of community college then took a break till I was 25 when I finished up) My family…

you’d think they’d like it because not having to pay student loans and having cheap childcare would get their Millennial kids to finally pop out some grandkids so Boomers would have something to do other than watch Fox News and bitch about how the world doesn’t think they’re cool anymore.

It’s kind of weird that older voters are upset over the idea of student loan forgiveness. More and more of them are being saddled with student loan debt after their kids default:

Calling degrees “worthless” just because they don’t necessarily translate to a high-income position post-college is so, so idiotic. 

1993 was the last year an undergraduate could pay a year of tuition through a summer time minimum wage job.

“I wish I could staple a free college diploma under every one of your chairs,” she added, voice somber. “I wish I could do that, but I have to be straight with you and tell you the truth.”
