Then Detroit and The Riley Knicks ENHANCED the game for about 15 years and it was all hard fouls and iso ball.

I thought the same exact thing re: can’t call one without the other.

+1 for the visual of a feral Ibaka chewing on Aldridge’s leg

I was younger, but I did remember it was a practice, and as a child with a family history of heart issues, my mom was pretty freaked out about me playing sports. (TBH, she freaked out about a lot, so that wasn’t a huge deal, but I remember it specifically in this instance.). But yeah, not even in a scrimmage, just…

Thanks! Such a sad tale. Athletes have that will to do the thing they want to do and have been preparing their entire lives to do, and it must be exceedingly difficult to have to walk away, especially when you’re about to enter a prime like Lewis. Hopefully Bosh gets as many conclusive diagnoses as possible before…

Thanks for that. Really sad tale even at the time, and this backstory, while adding context, doesn’t make it all that much better.

Can’t access, summation please?

Personally, I think this is an infarction of justice to hold him off the court.

Teams are seeking ever more data and control over what players do with their bodies, while it makes sense from a competitive perspective, it is also quite creepy and certain to lead to major disputes.

Taps! Dunk It! Good God this comment took me back real nice. If you tell me you had a chain-net hoop too, I’ll just die of Benjamin Button disease.

Uhhh, yeah. Please, yes.

When they say, “What’s to stop a man now from using a woman’s bathroom and harming them?,” my response is, “What was stopping them before?”

I only offer intelligent retorts to those who I think deserve them. Your responses don’t qualify. But have a nice day!

Yep, and like it or not, he’s still fascinating to watch operate even when his “big 2" others go down with injuries. (Although if I NEVER see him in another goddamn commercial trying to brand Cleveland as “the Land”, it would be too soon.)

The KBO is interesting. I think most playoff systems are fine, because “them’s the rules,” but I also do’t think the Warriors historical record, or the Pats’ 16-0 season, should somehow be discarded just because they didn’t win the championship. I just don’t think it’s any better or worse than a point-cased season…

I would add to that the lengthy and generally unproductive comment thread on the Amy Schumer harrassment story that centered around the proper use of the term “rape-y.”

+a million for working a Darling Nikki reference in there

You really changed my mind. Good job internet Einstein! You are smart and everyone should adopt your opinions because they are the best.

Whatever, this game was clearly being played under Calvinball rules by this point...I warn you, though, this one might not be in the form of a PDF. It might be just be a video of a bowl of spaghetti being flung into a ceiling fan.

To bitch and moan, I gather
