PG was chosen for the PlayStation cobranding because the only place he's performing in the playoffs is 2K.

These will be 1000x easier to cop than an actual PS5

Pretty sure that Mavrello disappears after the end of the season but does Cuban pretend it never existed and never mentions it again, or does he go on some podcast and laugh it off after pointedly mentioning multiple times that it was definitely someone else's idea?

Lived in Tempe for a year and there's no such thing as a dry heat. It's just heat.

If you're out in direct sun, then yes a dry heat and humid nightmare heat are kind of equivalent. But dry heat has the massive advantage over 1000% humidity heat in that you can go into the shade and it actually helps.

He's a ball creating shooting guard that can drive and defend. Literal whole teams don't have that.

The ability to create a ball makes him unique among NBA players. Surprisingly common among employees of the Spalding corporation, though.

Also, comparing the logo stomp to throwing a bottle is ridiculous. One victim is a person and the other is a cartoon.

I hope when the media ask him about the logo stomp, Kyrie goes into a long, prepared speech about how the Celtics logo is racist against the Irish.

Am I reading that wrong or has this never happened in the Finals? The Suns forcing a game seven here would be the first time that had happened since at least 1984?

edit: nm I forgot about the 2-3-2 change. I guess not having happened in like 7 years isn't as big a deal.

Adam Silver putting both Foster and Brothers on this game is absolutely a David Stern "gently caress you, I'm untouchable" move.

Why would they not? He's an unparalleled talent, has an amazing personal story, and seems like a genuinely nice and funny guy, with absolutely no edge to him at all making him perfect to market to kids. He's a marketers dream.
