I haven’t seen a transformation like this since Gandalf

And hopefully he’s a better communicator than Kawhi. ;-)

This is why I have always loved the Spurs since the Pop era.

He’s easily the greatest coach in NBA history, and possibly in sports

Credit also goes to RC Buford for going out and finding these dudes in the first place. Pop is great at molding the clay once they are arrive...but RC is the best at finding the dudes who are willing/capable of being molded.

Is there a better coach in the NBA or any sport at adjusting his system to fit the players he has in a given year than Popovich? I don’t think Belichik is the answer, because that’s more about constantly cycling through players to fit the system.

If Derrick White was on the Knicks he’d be Lance Thomas, why am I still a Knicks fan ?

How in the FUCK does Pop continuously manufacture these previously unknown dudes into what look like all stars.

Gabe, anything to win. If you’re not in the game and boxing out, get over there and let the hot dog go. Get in his head, literally. It was free if you’re seated that closely. Make Embiid remember you; if anything make it worth the price of admission. Chemical warfare. Forget the rules. Do your part. That’s a great…

The reverse-exceptionalism expressed by the belief that America’s some sort of unique force for evil in the world is some funny shit.

No, but many of the commenters here are involved in a never-ending circle jerk to see who can be the wokest bro.

My grandparents are also long dead.

I bet you do, because i bet you were totally aware of that song's existence prior to this article.

I kind of assume Melo would forget Tatum was there about halfway through and just start doing shooting drills on his own.

*Literally every team* could use both Keuchel and Kimbrel. There is no team in the game so impossibly stacked with pitching talent that Keuchel isn't better than their fifth starter, or Kimbrel isn't better than the seventh or eighth guy out of the pen.

This. I guess Conan is supposed to scour Twitter every night, and make sure his staff hasn’t stolen anyone’s jokes?  

As an early thirty-something: just no. Every older generation pokes fun at the younger one. Why are we the first ones to be bothered by it? Because we’re a bunch of pussies, and it’s exhausting.

The best part is that he was playing against a minister in that show and afterwards the minister came up and thanked Ken for being faster on the buzzer. He was just about to ring in with the same response, and didn’t want to have to explain it to the old bitties at church when he got back.

Still my favorite Ken Jennings moments of all time:

Trebek: “This gardening implement also means ‘an immoral pleasure-seeker’”

*Ken rings in*

Trebek: “Ken?”

Jennings: “What is a ho?”

(The proper answer was “rake”)
