i am barely a casual basketball watcher nowadays so i’m assuming many other people have said similar things and, if so, let me second them: this dude reminds me of Arvydas Sabonis, and i am here for it.

As a Spurs fan, I’m not even mad Harden willed this one out. This is one fucking phenomenal display of basketball tonight. And he wasn’t chipping away to that 44 with undeserved free throws; dude turned a 20-point deficit against a dynastic team into goddamn NBA JAM catch up AI. What a goddamn game to watch tonight,…

with news like this, it’ll be nearly impossible for the 76ers to pass him up come draft day.  

I also officiate this level of basketball and higher and where I’m from we always identify the shooter. Especially on common fouls. If the team calls a timeout while the kid is at the line, right after the timeout is granted you get the number of the player and number of shots he has left before they enter the…

Kind counterpoint, sir: As an official who works men’s college basketball, identifying a shooter for free throws is a vital part of what we do.

WWE did not release a cause of death.

Ate a “Mean Gene’s” burger joint in Okinawa back in 2006-7 I think. One of the most memorable Thanksgiving’s I ever had. RIP.

Watch literally any interview he did with Randy Savage and marvel at the fact that not only did he never break, he kept the interview from devolving into utter insanity. Rest in peace, an absolute legend. 

God...Mean Gene’s pieces with Macho Man were pure art. He was a such an amazing straight man to the insanity that just went on around him.

I say this completely without irony - Mean Gene and Macho Man Randy Savage were one of the greatest all-time comedy duos.

Gene Mean always telling the Iron Sheik the real names of other wrestlers simply can’t be beat.

Cool that the good dog joined the Nation of Islam

Mike Tomlin stands on an NFL football field during live play...you think he’s gonna be told where he can and can’t stand at a high school football game?

Imagine. You’re a middle-aged guy. Big fan of sport. Football? You fucking love it, and you have a deep knowledge of the game.
