Reggie has a body so perfectly made for basketball that his heart can't even pump enough blood efficiently to the ends of his stretch armstrong extremities, he should really be better

If Tobias Harris and Reggie passed the ball, if the pistons were about 3% better at threes, their offense might be alright

Pistons aren't good enough at basketball but they're a cool team.

I don't really think the Palace deserves a cool team and I hope they feel bad about something else. Their general socioeconomic situation or something.

It's totally a gimmick, otherwise why wouldn't they just do it as a matter of course for all shoes?

Bio-mechanically it's a terrible idea to get on the side of your foot and cut, it puts so much shear stress on your knee and ankle, so it's not something most people do. I want to believe it's at least 5% real and suits the strange movement style he learned in australia from emus and lizards

Chris Paul doesn't have the explosiveness anymore and has never been particularly flashy, but he gets to where he wants to go and so very rarely loses possession.

Cory Joseph is another guy with great handles. He's been way better at taking care of the ball than Lowry and DeRozan thus far in the Indy series
