Counterpoint: guys actually getting picked off is cool and fun.

Watch the linked video. Your dribble is supposed to have a natural rhythm to it while you’re in motion with the ball. Obviously, when you change directions and such, that rhythm’s going to change. But when you just basically stop dribbling for multiple steps, that’s a discontinued dribble.

You didn’t notice anything different from any other players because the NBA has decided that it is pretty much never going to call carries. I’m no NBA conspiracy truther but it’s pretty clear the NBA decided that players being able to pull off cool change-of-direction moves is good and fun, and as a result it decided…

He should rename himself to Wayne, cuz he ain’t got no D!

“That is something Draymond doesn’t do, as long as your completely ignore the numerous documented times he has done exactly that.”
FIFY

Found it

I’ve never been a Russ guy and as much as I shook my head at some of Westbrook’s shots, TOs, missed FTs in the fourth quarters of this series, I am willing to excuse most because he’s a one-man team. He starts the fourth on the bench and a 77-72 lead and his teammates can’t make it three GD minutes before Russ…

I’m gonna give this round to Beverly, just cause Russ is dressed like an auntie waiting to exhale.

Karl Ravech having his role reduced is pretty surprising since, while he does focus mainly on baseball, he’s one of the few top-name wild cards that ESPN can put pretty much anywhere, especially when doing live sports stuff.

Kap has been paid 10s of millions of dollars for being a good quarterback for half a season (before NFL teams figured out the read option, which is the only thing that made him good) and a mediocre/bad quarterback for 3-4 years. He has gotten way more money than he ever earned on the field. But please continue…

As is Gareon Conley...which is the name I keep hearing

Also, Malik Hooker and Marshon Lattimore are from Cleveland.

I’ll never understand how your only job is to play basketball, yet you can’t make free throws. Literally you do this for a living. Camp in the gym 10 hours a day and practice- you have no other job! I do free throws an hour a day FOR FREE.

Did you watch the game? When Roberson FINALLY hit a free throw, the crowd went crazy and they were saying he got angry at them because he is a proud man.

Seriously?? Either learn to make free throws or learn to brush things off, because I would have cheered if I were an OKC fan in attendance, too. At least they weren’t…

It’s been pretty awesome watching the guy most likely to win the MVP get thumped by the guy who should win the MVP.

...the “use of force was clearly out of retaliation and not self-defense.” It additionally notes that the intensity of force “far exceeded what was reasonable or necessary”...

I don’t mean it to be a comment that women have special protections. Obviously you shouldn’t hit women. The problem I think is that you can easily see violence between men as not a problem — “let them work it out”, “he was just getting what he deserved”, “boys will be boys”. It presupposes that men are inherently…

WTF with football players — college and pro — straight-up power punching women they have random arguments with like it’s a bar fight between men?

It’s only a misdemeanor battery, if it doesn’t happen to you.

Another U of Florida jock strap makes crime news. And Gainesville PD calling it a misdemeanor; should have charged the thug with a felony & let him plea bargain down. No wonder Florida athletes don’t face true justice. FSU & U of Florida own the police departments, maybe giving free tickets or prime campus gigs...
