A professional athlete at 70 percent is not really close to healthy unless we’re talking Kirk Gibson pinch hitting or something like that. Curry’s lateral movement was just not there as the playoffs wore on. Those without a weird point to prove (i.e., Steph just choked!) would be the typical sports media…

If content is top-notch, but nobody reads it because the site is neon fucking green, does it even exist?

And although many are their constituents, many are probably...not their constituents.

You couldn’t be more wrong. Town Halls are often the ONLY opportunity that constituents get to talk to the congress person. And if they are doing things that are harmful to their constituents, it’s an opportunity to voice their displeasure. These congress people WORK for their constituents and therefore should have…

No, it’s because they had a better starting 5 and a deep bench. Sure, the league is more athletic, better coached, trained, etc, but that does not mean that a team cannot simply be better than a previous team based on total talent. The Warriors did not win 73 games simply because of sports science. Every team is using…

It doesn’t matter. You are there to face your constituents, and listen to their concerns- that’s your job. You can’t just get elected and forget you have people to answer to.

Dwight Howard is just so depressing—-all of those physical gifts, and he just doesnt seem to care about honing his basketball skills.

Hell-beast to take their souls?

I think it’s often the way they are most accountable to constituents between elections. Phone calls, letters, and emails are filtered through staff. They might get a report that says “x number of people contacted us who were against the AHCA.”But what the representative actually sees is going to be a sliver. At town…

Nope. Gotta give ‘em hell when they’re being ridiculous and support their good efforts.

LeBron just beat a team that was undeniably better than anything Jordan ever faced. Hopefully he does it again and shuts everyone up.

Or that it took him 7 tries to make the Finals. Or that he lost in the first round his first 3 tries, only winning 1 game in 3 series. Or that he needed another HOFer to get over the hump. Everyone skips half of the damn story when they talk about Jordan.

Let’s not read too much into this; Issa is probably just practicing his Parkour.

I’m actually really excited for the move away from Medium. I also like a lot of the writing and would love to see it on a website that didn’t suck to look at or navigate.

I also hope the Ringer gets a lively comment section like Kinja sites. I find the Ringer writers and Deadspin writers personally interesting and…

I like this take. I’d like it better with Cavs in 6.

Spurs are always right fucking there, it’s true. Even without Tim Duncan, and soon without Tony Parker or Ginobili, they’ll always be a threat.

i think he has been better than Jordan for a couple years now. he is in Russel territory with these visits to the Finals and simply put The Assocation is better now that 20 years ago. the influx of Euros...talented Euros is something Jordan never had to deal with and Jordan had the benefit of the dilution of expansion…

Really? To each his own, I guess. I can’t get into any of the writers there—even David Shoemaker, whose writing I used to love, has fallen off. A big part of it is probably that I’m getting older and moving away from watching some sports, but geez. The quality of writing seems subpar in my view. And the actual…

About time. The Medium format was awful. Unfortunately all those Vox websites are media heavy and difficult to navigate. Grantland was almost perfect.

He should bring the Ringer to Kinja. Super stable and super nice partner sites, it’s a can’t lose!
