It seems odd not only that one of the children in that header has made their way to Deadspin, but also that they have the cultural knowledge to name their account after a pitcher from the 70s and 80s

JR Smith draining a 3 as the first shot of Game 4 was pretty indicative of how that game ended up going.

What’s a pederast, Hemmerling?

He went to Golden State to play with great players and win a championship, full stop. It logically follows that doing so would relieve the pressure he was under in OKC. There’s no more pressure on Durant at the moment than there is on any other player on his team. Any “pressure to be great” currently on Durant is…

Right and I’m saying he went to Golden State specifically to relieve that pressure, which he has. There’s no pressure for him to win a championship on a team that just set the regular season wins record,  made the previous two Finals, and has at no point not been the favorite to win it again this year. There’s no…

lol I’m done with you. Continue willfully missing the point elsewhere.

No, there isn’t. Durant could’ve sat on the bench for the entire Finals and still walked away with a ring.

If you don’t see the aptness in comparing Durant, who went to a pre-built contender to earn his ring, and James Jones, who’s been following Lebron James around for the past 5 years to earn his three, then I’m pretty sure I’m not the idiot here.

Fun fact: if (when) Golden State wins this year, James Jones will have more rings than Kevin Durant

This insane playoff run from the Warriors, and Durant’s performance in the Finals in particular, actually does nothing to dispel the narrative that Durant is afraid of pressure. There is no pressure on him in Golden State, which is entirely the point of that specific criticism of his move there. He’s free to play…

I showed up for a Lyft fare one night to a man that wanted me to drive him from Richmond, VA to Arlington, MD. I politely turned him down because 1) it was 9pm on a Wednesday and I only drive part time, so I had work in the morning and 2) I’m seriously not spending 3 hours making awkward small talk with a stranger,…

At this point I’m pulling for the Warriors to sweep so they have to celebrate their championship in Cleveland. Again.

I work at a school for students with autism and this why a few times a year we have local firefighters and law enforcement tour our facilities. It’s a simple way to make it clear to them that some of these men and women do not respond typically. It should’ve been as simple as “oh, this man has autism, let’s contact a…

And as always, the moral of the story for these young men is “Be good enough at football to warrant a coverup if you’re going to sexually assault women.”

“Don’t treat my daughter like a possession! Only I get to do that!” - the kind of father that wears those stupid fucking shirts

they thought about sending Russell Westbrook in as a negotiator, but we all know he’d just try to shoot his way out of it.

your dystopia is pretty optimistic if you think for a second peasants like us would have access to flying cars

My whole thing is that Paul George straight up jacks a dude’s Gatorade when he hits that game winning shot.

No, you’re right. Harden flails into the defender, initiating contact to draw the foul. In this play, Kyrie came off a pick, stopped on a dime, and made Thompson run into him. Both plays are designed to draw the foul on a 3, but in this spot Kyrie wasn’t literally jumping into the guy defending him to get his trip to…
