Reporter: What do you think it’ll be like playing with James again?
Smith: I literally can not remember a time I didn’t play with him.

It’s like he’s the mini-version of Carmelo Anthony.

I know you don’t need validation from dumb internet commenters like me, but I just came here to say that this was a great read.  

Counterpoint - Please do it Nets!

He’s gonna get maxed out, one way or another, whether with the Nets or somebody else. I’d just prefer it not be the Nets.

Don’t forget about the part where, right after Uncle Drew 2 comes out, he says “I don’t desire fame.”

I mean if the Nets are dumb enough to max out Kyrie Irving at this point, more power to them. He’s put up some pretty good numbers over the years but his value seems to be predicated on 3 good games he played in the NBA finals three years ago. He isn’t in the same stratosphere as Steph Curry or even Damian Lilliard at…

Durant and Kyrie will both go to Brooklyn. In two years, they will win an NBA title. Then Kyrie will decide that he wants to be the alpha on a championship team and demand a trade. He will be dealt to the promising Atlanta Hawks. He will miss most of the next season due to injury, and they will surprise everyone by…

I wonder if what ends up happening is Irving signs and the Warriors sign-and-trade Durant (and Iggy?) for Russell and all those fun, cool young guys.

He’s working extremely hard. He’s in good shape. His weight is good. His overall body-fat percentage is very good. So, if you look at him, you say, “Wow, he looks great.”

Don’t forget, there’s an alternate universe where the Sixers agree to include Fultz in a trade for Kawhi Leonard.

In the total time it’s going to take for him to get back on the court, Carson Wentz will have suffered and recovered from three season-ending injuries.

Ah, “He’s doing well”, the sports version of “They were productive talks.” 

He will not play in summer league with us. We didn’t think there was any way that he was going to do that. We didn’t plan on him doing that. So, probably not the place for him right now.

It certainly seems that the voters decided most valuable was more applicable to the guy who did well in more facets of the game than just (definitely epic) scoring.

If that first fact is relevant, let it be known that the Buffalo Bills finished Top 2 in football playing in 1991-1994 and deserved the Lombardi trophy.

The only reason the NBA issued the fine was because their original threat to exclude the Knicks from next year's playoffs was met with laughter.

Not being allowed to kick a butthole explains Conor McGregor’s success against strikers.

For people who are looking for more specifics on the pay of late round draftees, my close friend’s brother just got drafted to a Single A affiliate. He’s making about $1,000 a month and lives with 6 other players in a host family’s house.

Counterpoint: if you had already gone Eaton, you wouldn’t be so hungry, Jeff.
