Pat Bev is basically the insane enforcer grasshopper from A Bug’s Life

Adrian Dantley begat Reggie Theus begat Glen Rice begat Ricky Buckets begat Wiggins. And I think the lineal line of “empty 25 a game” has officially passed to Devin Booker.

TNT’s new “24 shot clock” at the top of the key is the most useless feature. I wish I could turn it off. Your eye movement when watching basketball “jumps” in watching the ball and player matchup, so your eyes are focused on that. The players block the countdown on TV. Most NBA plays don’t get down to the last second…

Counterpoint: REVIEW THE NBA TEAM YOU STAND BEHIND YOU COWARD!
(Seriously, though, J.G.’s right, never change)

I was just marveling that Chris Paul is still getting it done in the league while Deron Williams has been washed up for like a decade.

That is all the NBA teams. Thank you.

I live in Utah and am a Jazz fan. I legitimately believe it is the worst place NBA players visit because of the fans in the Delta Center. The majority of the fans in the arena are white, upper middle-class and Mormon. They are either BYU fans or UofU fans and that rivalry has infected their Jazz fandom. It’s toxic. I…

I said the same thing about people complaining about potential protests at Blizzcon and every other time people use Ernie’s position of “protesting is fine but not here and not now.” What the hell do you think the point of a protest is?  The goal is to draw attention to an issue!  If you paid attention to these issues…

First time I’ve seen a wrong triangle. 

At least for some of us, the joy and beauty of watching sports is the constant chance, however small, that we’ll get to witness something ethereal and magical. That’s why Steph, and the pre-KD warriors, were such a joy. The ball is moving constantly...Steph is moving constantly....and at any moment he can pull up from…

Honestly this whole thing reads like an Onion article. The fact that it is all real is pretty hilarious, if also bery depressing. I think Kyrie's cosmic brain has surpassed galactic proportions, and now threatens dimensional proportions

I can’t describe my level of excitement when I read your headline. The content was as satisfying as hoped.

Yes, and it’s already been happening for years. There’s a reason why Taiwan is called “Chinese Taipei” in international sports competitions and some international trade/economic organizations. If Taiwan is even implicitly treated or portrayed as being its own sovereign nation separate from mainland China, the Chinese…

Look at the way Apple caved on the app used by Hong Kong protesters or ESPN sided with China on the issue of Taiwan.

I’m actually shocked Yao Ming isn’t involved in SJ2 to capture some of that Chinese market share. I guess there’s still time to shoehorn a cameo in. One of my favorite things to do with blockbuster movies is to see how they try to entice the Chinese market either overtly or covertly in the film. 

apples and mandarins

On one hand, I kinda get that people over there actually in China didn’t want to speak out on the issue in fear of a response from the government. On the other, maybe don’t do business with a government that would consider killing you over a random ass tweet by someone on the other side of the world that you are only…

I think this defense is broadly right—but it still amounts to LeBron saying that the sensitivities of one of the world’s most brutal and repressive regimes should set boundaries on what people in the NBA say in public. Which is fuckin’ gross!

Daryl Morey, notedly averse to information

I understand the players are caught between a rock and a hard place. But this has to be one of the most craven capitulations to money I have ever seen by a major athlete. Should have kept quiet. His rationale is bullshit.
