There was a genetic study done that iirc was released last year detailing the damage hardships like starvation, stress, and trauma do to a person’s genetic code. Like, quantitative data on specific portions of DNA that manifests in heart disease, obesity, a predilection for mental health issues like schizophrenia and…

Every single coach should be required to do every single conditioning drill alongside their players. Guarantee we see less deaths or more dead coaches.

You know, aside from the horror of the headline, having a baseline age for prosecution is something I believe is right and needed. The whole purpose of childhood is to learn boundaries. Clearly this kid needs help, jail isn’t remotely help.

Of course, that’s also what they said about Obama, that it was too soon. Harris is a terrific public speaker and a progressive, and she’s fierce and formidable. I think if she embraced an economic populist message along with the rest of her arsenal of progressive and fierce stances, with a long history of principled…

Kevin Johnson is a criminal rapist scumbag and should be the one in jail. I know first hand the long lasting impact his horrific actions have had on at least one of his victims.

We are on board with someone who throws a pie in a politician’s face being charged with and accepting a low-level misdemeanor with a fine and community service, not being forced to go on trial for a goddamn felony assault charge.

We are also on board with politicians that commit numerous acts of sexual assault being…

Even “boring” basketball is better than exciting baseball.

(sees Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and everyone else on the Cavs in a team photograph disappear like the rest of Marty McFly’s family in Back to the Future) Incidentally, Lebron was -7 for the series, bolstered by his being +32 in Game 4.

Kudos to Kevin Durant and I’m sincerely happy that he got his chip. I personally have no qualms with him teaming up with the Warriors to create a dynastic Monstars-type team that will tear through the league for years to come (if all goes according to plan). Hell, if I could do it too, I would in a New York minute.

For all the performative boredom about the Finals—and there was a fuckton—the last three games were great basketball.

There was never really a point in the second half of Game 5 when it seemed reasonable to believe that Cleveland could win

Westbrook, in his insatiable urge to be better than Durant, will now put up 40 per game next season and the Thunder will be a lottery team.

People can bash Durant all they want, and they probably will, but the NBA ran a commercial with Dr. J saying “you either have a ring, or you don’t.”

Pay Iggy all the moneys.

As a lifelong warriors fan, I get the enmity. I just don’t give a f---. Great team to watch, great team to follow, great team to compare to other great teams. Mostly I want to thank Westbrook and the Thunder organization for making KD feel like the grass had to be greener.

Curty’s stat line in the games like tonight where the 3 isn’t dropping were intersting- in past years he’d start forcing now he attacks the basket amd gets to the line a lot more.

Even if you’re just a neutral observer you can’t help but enjoy how the Warriors play, its just the absolute pinnacle of movement basketball when they’re all hitting and they’re fans are going nuts. Watching this team next year now that all the styles are melding could be amazing.

LeBron joins Elgin Baylor, becomes only second player ever to lose an NBA Finals in 4, 5, 6, and 7 games

The Cavs blew a 1-3 lead.

lol too many good players, this one doesn’t count!!!
