This is, no bullshit, the way I shoot a basketball and, simultaneously, the reason I have never played basketball since basically middle school. I can’t imagine what happened to this dude that he would be cursed with my horrible fucking shot. Christ.

It also keeps his arms below his shoulder.

I think if you explained to him the concept of solipsism, or language in general, he might have an aneurysm.

I am sitting here right now, genuinely wondering if JJ Redick doesn’t believe that things exist until we have words for them. Because... that is what it sounds like!

Is The Ringer on the awareness/clicks/exposure level that Grantland was? I can’t believe that it is. He’s moving backwards.

“The word basketball wasn’t invented until 1891, so why do I have millions of dollars?”

People ask us why we harp on Bill Simmons a lot here and the answer is because he’s the most powerful, influential sportswriter in America.

Whoa whoa whoa, duuuudde. If ancient people’s found mammoths then why’d they call them giants instead of mammoths? And you say dinosaurs are dragons, but the word dragon has been around forever man, so if they’d seen dinosaurs back then they wouldn’t have had to invent that word 150 years ago.

Also, I don’t think scientists hide the fact they often don’t find complete skeletons. It’s a very specific set of conditions that create a fossil.

“College athlete’s pay is the education they get.”

I’m wrong on this, I know I’m wrong on this, but I’m not entirely convinced that dinosaurs existed.

HOW CAN I BE TYPING THIS? THE WORD ‘COMPUTER’ DIDN’T EXIST UNTIL THE 1640s!

Two of the best players to come out of Duke think the world is flat, dinosaurs didn’t exist, 9/11 may or may not have been an inside job, and do “research” by reading random instagram pages. I blame Coach K.

I don’t follow basketball closely at all, so I’ll take your word for it. I’m just thinking from a lifelong athlete perspective that I can’t fathom responding with “why?” when a coach of mine gives a directive.

right, because Ty Lue is Pops over here. Are we still pretending he does anything other than whatever Lebron wants? (see: thier offense is literally Lebron Iso or LEbron Pick and Roll. you will see no advanced plays out of Lebrons....er Ty Lue’s offense.

Lue: “Come on, you have nothing to fear but sphere itself”

No such thing as sleep when you’re as woke as Kyrie.

I think Kyrie’s comment is just a little misunderstood right now.

LeBron: I wanted him to be around.

Today, when asked if he feels that James viewed him as a basketball equal, Irving answers, “I don’t know if he did or not, but I don’t really care. I didn’t lose any sleep over it.”
