  1. really depends on how much Vaughn did for the democratic party. That's the criteria to get in the door for Pop and Carlisle to put on their fancy white knight clothes.
  2. if you look at the list of players drafted from G League Ignite it's really starting to look like an unmitigated disaster. Guys like Jalen Green and Scoot Henderson who came in super hyped and show up completely undeveloped. At this point Kuminga might be the only success story and that is probably because he spent a couple years learning how to basketball with a top notch franchise Golden State.
  3. Also spent a lot of time sitting next to Wemby
  4. 0.00 GPA. Needless to say, I was not mature enough to be away at school as an 18 year old. I blame my parents for letting me go. It's not like they didn't know me.
  5. Love Mookie. I was a freshman at Oklahoma for one glorious semester Fall of 1988.
  6. if there was a way to do it, I would make "edited to remove personal attacks" be my signature.
  7. just in the last few years: Oscar Tshiebwe Luca Garza Both dominated CBB and were national player of the year.
  8. not reading all that and don't have to since I follow CBB as much as anyone. Edey is just the latest in a long line of big men who dominate college, but have no business playing in the NBA. He CAN'T MOVE. That's a deal breaker in today's NBA. He won't be able to guard the PnR in any capacity. He is unplayable in the NBA.
  9. Don't agree with the first part, but do agree with the 2nd part. I would say that for a PG, Murray is way below league average as a passer.
  10. nothing to do with xenophobia, just human nature. People prefer athletes who are from the same area as them or the same country at least. I'm talking nationally here, not locally. Of course people will cheer for guys who are on their team no matter where they are from, but nationally a USA born player has a lot more cache with people who live in the USA than foreign players. Just look at jersey sales. The top 3 are all USA born and 7 of the top 10 are USA born. Remind me, when was the last time a USA player won MVP? Jokic isn't even in the top 10 in 2023 despite coming off back to back MVPs and winning the NBA Finals with a Finals MVP award. he sits at #14.
  11. the small guy can't do the same stuff. Small guy wins because dunk contests are graded on a curve and favor smaller players.
  12. Spud was great but he's a novelty. Replace him with David Thompson for a better contest.
  13. post after post, you keep skipping right over the AMERICAN part. Why you keep doing that?
  14. in honor of the Super Bowl, this game should be called the Shakes' Toilet Bowl
  15. my old sh!tty team vs my current sh!tty team. Can't wait!
  16. they talked about it a lot on the afternoon show yesterday. I just wish they would connect the dots and use it to compare him to Trae who is #1 on the opponent's scouting report every game since he entered the league.
  17. only reason to watch this game is to hopefully see Trae destroy Maxey.
  18. it;s Deadspin. They have an editor who is the biggest [EDIT: insert lightly hyphenated genitalia here ~lw3] in the world. And she's basically illiterate. She might also be teh single worst person in the entire world. On my Chicago sports fan message board we have a thread dedicated to what a POS Julie Dicaro is and right now that thread is over 1500 pages long. Pleaes don't even click on anything there. Right now they are being sued because they accused a Kansas City 10 year fan of being racist because he wore black and red face paint to a game.
  19. I'd rather stick needles dipped in ghost peppers into my eyes than click on anything from F-ing Deadspin! F that scum.
  20. plenty of room on the OKC bandwagon! Come join me.
  21. naw, the asteroid in that movie actually hits. This is more like New Years even 1999 waiting for 2k to end the world. Another example would be waiting for Geraldo to open Al Capone's vault.
  22. next season? This season is such crap that even @Spud2nique is only going to predict a 55 win season next year.
  23. sweet! Can't wait for a 3rd consecutive opening round ass kicking vs a #1 or #2 seed! (insert treadmill gif here)
  24. that's good. Literally the only chance this team has of making the playoffs is if they get to play 20-30 more games than everyone else.
  25. DJ/OO for Herb Jones/Trey Murphy/ 1 FRP That work?
