you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

I count 27 current NBA players who had a father who also played in the NBA. This isn't relevant to anything, but I have no one else to mention this to.

The median son of a NBA player is Seth Curry. That's a pretty good group of players.

They started a feud with Philly fans and it metastasized to involve pretty much everyone on the internet.

It early days but based on stats alone I'd say Gary Trent Jr is probably even with his father at this point.

That's a 60+ win team if they can scrape up some defense.

Whoops. Probably messed some other guys/missed some guys too as I was just popping in names as I thought of them.although in this case, I think I was just thinking of the old Warriors and was thinking of Love.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

It is interesting that he met with several teams but now is going this route. I am assuming this is a way around it being past the deadline to sign players but also I guess he didn't blow any socks off enough for teams to sign him before that deadline? Or maybe he was still meeting with teams?

Throwing the ball off someone's head to save a possession is perfectly fine. :colbert: Lebron should have given him a butt slap or something but that's just smart play.

The elbow was kinda bad though.

He's been throwing that all year. It's his James Toney heavyweight phase. It's his Evander Holyfield phase
