For people like us to sit behind keyboards and claim that one of the players in arguably the most athletic sports is “uncoordinated” in ANY form is ridiculous. What he did, what Green always does, what many players do each year is NOT a lack of coordination.

I think he’s an intensely competitive pro doing whatever he can to try and play in the NBA. In his case, that means playing dirty. That's his only edge. If it was a matter of clumsiness and inability, there are plenty of guys who would take his minutes. But the team likes having a dirty enforcer, and he does it well.

The ball was all the way on the other side of Iguodala’s body long before Dellavedova began his downward swipe...

Except that Barry Petchesky applauded the NBA’s bullshit decision not to suspend Draymond for Game 4 of the WCF, and on the grounds that Green is a good player while Dahntay Jones is a crap player: http://deadspin.com/kevin-durant-o…

There are two arguments people present that show they have no fucking clue how coordinated and good professional athletes are. The first is every variation of “Could I pitch an inning/make a tackle/play a series at quarterback/make the senior tour as a golfer?” NO. They are professionals and you are an…

What does skill level have to do with anything

Yes. Intent pretty much always matters when determining the punishment of a violation of rules.

He sucks, whether he intends to or not.

This is the worst piece I have ever read on Deadspin....

A lot of words to prove you don’t know much about basketball.

Also, Curry in on the latest cover of Parents magazine, which is currently resting on my toilet tank. So every time I take a shit, I gotta look at this guy playing around with his adorable podium kids*

Legitimately tho, I hate his tattoos. Reminds me of something your douchebag high school classmate would get and take his shirt off to show the girl you like then he asks her out and ruins your life. Fuck you Shaun.

If the Cavs win the title the trophy engraving should be in Comic Sans.

You haven’t lived till you’ve heard Mendelssohn Concerto in E Minor, Op 64, played by someone with CTE.

He was going to where he’s supposed to for a bailout if the defender gets in trouble after receiving the ball on the right side of the box. Away from the goalmouth in case there’s a bobble. That the defender forgot that is not the keeper’s fault.

Staying clear of the goal so if he gets a pass back it won’t be on frame. Maybe at this level that’s not what you do but we were always taught to never, ever put passes back on frame, and probably that’s what he was thinking.

Ultimately, you can’t just adopt better habits halfway through the playoffs and expect them to stick when the pressure gets on. I think the problem with trying to diagnose a particular disappearing act or a particular moment when Russ or KD didn’t overcome the moment is that nobody, not even Michael Jordan, was A+ for…

Fellow Cleveland native here. I don’t hold out much hope for the Finals, but that’s because I’m from Cleveland, and I know how these things go for us. But like I said when Lebron ‘decided’, I’m just grateful for the incredible ride, like I was grateful for the late 80s/90s Tribe that crushed the competition during the…

Damn... you’re right. Excuse me as a take a step back and fuck myself.
