  1. "Can I tell you something Bill? Most of the shit you say is not smart, it's just sort of obscure." lol Here's the full podcast if anyone cares:
  2. He won 3 of the last 4 MVP awards, and if not for a racially charged attack by Kendrick Perkins' and some dumbass media members, he would have a MVP 4peat running right now. I think plenty of people have recognized and understand how good he is on the floor. I agree he isn't on the same level of hype or media attention as MJ or Lebron (both in sports and non-sports media), but I think that has more to do with his personality and media approach. He's not a firebrand, he doesn't stir up controversy to steal the spotlight, and he doesn't make shitty comments about his teammate's performance or his "next team" to drive more discussion about himself. He's just built differently in that regard, and I think that has a lot more to do with the lack of media coverage and exposure, because he's just not that juicy of a story. Jokic is certainly as talented as those guys, but he has the personality of a businessman. He clocks in, does his job while daydreaming of riding horses, clocks out, and goes home to his wife and kids. I really like that about him, and I think it helps his team on and off the court. Must be nice knowing that your team's best player is not creating distractions or picking and choosing who gets traded next. Team stability is an underrated quality that Lebron and KD never seem to appreciate.
  3. They said after game 2 that only 5 teams had ever comeback from being down 0-2 while having homecourt advantage. Looking like #6 is gonna happen Thursday night. Hell of a turnaround and if the Nuggets win a ring this year, it's going to shut up a lot of haters.
  4. Mariners are losing to KC in the 7th right now too, might be the only team in the division to win today.
  5. Vic's second walk-off hit as an Astro!
  6. LeBron and AD to the Cavs for Garland, Allen and Mobley??!!??
  7. Yeah, but if they let him say fuck and bleeped out shit, it would be funny. Or at least that's the joke.
  8. Saw a Reddit thread that was fun. If Seinfeld could have had 1 use of the word "fuck" (or any variation of it), where would you have inserted it in the show? A few of the top voted ones: Yeah? Well, I fucked your wife. What the fuck are ya doing, ya little piece of [still bleeped]?!? Thanks for ruining my daddy's business you fat fuck. You want a Christmas card?! Here's your fucking Christmas card! You had to have the BIG FUCKING SALAD! Person on beach - “Is anyone here a marine biologist?” George - “Fuck.” I got a lot of problems with you fucking people! And now you're gonna hear about it!
  9. Josh Giddey finally being held accountable for some minor contact.
  10. Bronny needs Johnny Football's height trainer to help him temporarily straighten his spine prior to the combine. 2 more inches in height can mean a lot in the NBA Draft.
  11. Looked like no foul to me, but Luka gets the whistle.
  12. 12 seconds left, Mavs have the ball, let's see if OKC fouls Lively again.
  13. SGA with a crazy high arc shot to tie it, and Chet with the 3 to take the lead. OKC is stepping up to this challenge while Dallas can't hit anything.
  14. Not often you see a guy set a screen while doing a pirouette
  15. Hahaha, love hearing that ball slap sound. That's one thing the NBA does well that a lot of other sports don't, catching the in-game sounds on the broadcast.
  16. 3 strikeouts by Taylor Scott to end the game is nice. 6 games back from the division lead is doable. Lucky that the whole division is winnable if things can keep going this way.
  17. Ughhh... weak throw, but Singleton has to come off the bag to get the ball too
  18. Wow, once in a blue moon type game for Bregs, great to see.
  19. Maybe the NFL needs to implement max contracts like the NBA...
  20. Is this still the narrative with regard to Bronny? I don't know how self-aware the James' are, but maybe dad and son got together and decided to float this idea out there to see how high they can get him drafted, knowing that he would never really achieve a 1st round draft projection otherwise. I seriously doubt Lebron is going to pack up and go wherever his son goes, but I guess the timing of the offseason could make it work. The schedule below shows that the first day of negotiations could begin as early as June 15th in a Finals sweep, or as late as June 24th. The draft is the 26/27th, so there should be about 2-7 days between the beginning of free agent negotiations and the draft. Would a team negotiate with Lebron to pick Bronny and then sign him the next day? It's a weak draft, so throwing away a 2nd on him probably isn't too much of an issue for a few teams. It would be hilarious if a team thought they could get Lebron by drafting his kid, and then he re-signs with the Lakers the next day.

  21. #3 in this draft and Green will get you someone like Kyle Kuzma, not Donovan Mitchell lol... Y'all are delusional if you think Spida is going anywhere for less than a King's ransom. He's Clevelands entire offense right now, and they want to offer him a full max deal this summer. He might take it, he might not, not real sure, but you bet your ass there will be several teams bidding for him if he won't commit.
  22. Well, how could he not be? That outdated furniture... so terribly un-Karl-Farbman-like.
  23. Sleep tight, mates, in your quilted chambray nightshirts.
  24. I still think Mikal Bridges should be the target for swapping DG. Need a tough defender that can hit 3s at a good clip. Putting him on a team that doesn't need him to be the main focus of the offense and defense should allow him to flourish. Might be like a Wiggins in Golden State type of situation. Plus Brooklyn needs young players to build around, and DG fits their timeline.
