You can’t possibly think the current iteration of DeMarcus Cousins would be an All-Star. He’s played like an hour of basketball in the past five or six weeks, and he’s torn his Achilles and shredded a quad in the past 18 months. And while Draymond Green can still count as an All-Star despite not being one this season, …

I heard some goofball the other day suggest that Curry needs to like man up or something and play 44-48 minute like LeBron does in the playoffs, and I’m like, “Does LeBron spend entire offensive possessions sprinting and cutting and weaving through the defense to get an open shot the way Curry does?” They’re both in…

Game 1 was on a Thursday night, and I’m sure everyone at Deadspin works Fridays. Game 2 was on a Sunday night, where clicks go to die. There’s no conspiracy here.

I had to go back and look. I remember too much of the late career Kidd, spitting a french fry at his wife, etc., and was thinking that was in like 2009-10 when in fact it was later. And yeah, Nash was a big miss on my part. I definitely think there was a solid five-year stretch where you could make the case for Paul…

I think he meant 2000s as a decade, as in from 2000 to 2009. No one was better than Paul over that stretch, not even skinny teenage Curry.

Is Rockford well enough known that it wasn’t necessary to put the word Illinois anywhere in this post?

Klay Thompson is 1 month older than Draymond Green. They’re both 28. Not sure where you’re getting this “old man Draymond” angle from.

I was afraid to eat mushrooms as a kid because of this messed up book. I mean, I guess it’s good because I didn’t eat random mushrooms out of the yard? But, like, even seeing my parents eat a mushroom pizza gave me anxiety.

It didn’t feel inevitable to me when the Warriors fell behind by double digits on the road against the Rockets in Game 7. And all of these Finals games have been close for more than a half. Yes, Game 2 ended with a lopsided score, but only the final 16 minutes or so were truly lopsided.

I love Jeff Van Gundy, but I’m convinced that the highest and best use for him is an Inside the NBA-type show where he and Stan break down game tape and argue about who mom liked more.

Maybe this gets us one step closer to the highest and best use of SvG: A late-night NBA Network talk show where Stan and his brother Jeff break down highlights, interview oddball guests with both obvious and peripheral connections to the league (Toni Braxton, anyone?) and regale us with whimsical tales of their…

Ignoring the advice of his doctors to shut it down in 2015, so that he could pitch great in two World Series games the Mets lost was totally worth it, though.

The federal government doesn’t list Montana as part of the Midwest, FWIW, but that tidbit notwithstanding, this is the first time I’ve ever seen Montana referred to as the Midwest. It’s like calling Arizona the South.

Aw, come on. No one has the data to back this up. It’s just an old saw that local law enforcement agencies use to get money so they can arrest the pimps who operate year-round.

This is a caliber of Lonzo journalism we haven’t seen since the days of Hunter S. Thompson. Nice going.

Anyhow, this comment was supposed to be on the Xbox year-in-review thread, but Kinja brought me here when I logged in, inexplicably.

Oh, OK. My attitude is if the game is free w/ microtransactions, I’ll spend $$ if there’s a fun base game. I don’t see it any different than paying $60 up front for a new AAA game, and I often end up spending less $$. Your mileage may vary, though. I didn’t realize it was just the original, though. I assumed it had…

No, it came out earlier this year for Xbox One and Windows 10 as a free-to-play, cross-platform game.
