As a kid I sent out bball cards to all my favorite PGs with a note saying why I liked their game(I love point guards ok) and Nick Van E was the only one to sign the card and he even wrote a nice note in return. So I like him a lot

KD twitter fighting with randos is way healthier than just about anything Jordan did, imo.

I don't particularly like pineapple on pizza (but it doesn't make me mad or anything) but I do like it with actually hot jalapenos.


Be the change. Post your Baklava opinions for us to ridicule.

Sarver is terrible but there is no way they were getting Tatum no matter how much they wanted him.

During workouts the Celtics were trying to trade down so you never know but it's mostly just to laugh at Sarver interrupting a shooting drill streak and thinking that adding another scorer to complement Devin Booker is a bad thing

A good question would be, how many championships are won by teams whose first, second, or third best player is in their rookie contract

Thats tough cuz to get young great prospects you usually have to suck in the first place and it's tough to turn a team around that hugely in the span of a rookie contract

Algund Eenboom posted:

I did a bit of cursory looking up ages, and some prominent examples seem to be
-19 raptors (e40 voice: paskal siakam, 24 y.a.)
-14 spurs (kawhi, 23)
-06 heat (wade, 24)
-99 spurs (duncan, 23)
-80 lakers (magic, 21)
-71 bucks (kareem, 24)

I wonder if it was more common in the pre-aba era, when rookies tended to be upperclassmen and more physically developed

Could have been the Bucks this year but it's a shame the season is over. Completely

"His wife, Australian netball great Renae Ingles, is expecting their third child and four-year-old son Jacob has autism and a weakened immune system."

I wonder how many players would rather not play like Ingles. I don't see how anyone could think he is doing anything but the right decision.

The Ringer is a very stupid website but even for them an article/section about how great Derrick Rose's per 36 minute stats are is pretty rough. Per 36 stats are mostly useful for trying to make your rookie bigs seem better than they are

I think they're just having fun. That website has stooped to posting game of thrones fan fiction because they have not a loving thing to write about. Hopefully fawning articles about spotify exclusive true crime podcasts???

Derrick Rose's fantastic off the dribble three point shooting and evolved vision as a passer have made him really good. He gets worn out playing more than 20 minutes a game. If you have someone else to play 26 minutes or so he'll be tearing mixed bench/starter units to pieces.

Oh yeah I forgot to talk about the game of thrones fanfiction. That was a shocking development and I can't believe it happened. I really want basketball back my man
