Really makes up for the fact that Rose can no longer just loving explode towards the rim and throw down often any more.

He can, just chooses not to after getting slammed into the floor by Howard all those times.

He was the dumbest player I've ever seen.

Illini seriously assigned a coach to him to walk with him through drills all season because he never could remember how they worked.

He was also their best player by like a mile but their guards were all an even shittier version of Dion Waiters and never bothered to throw him the ball.

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.
If the Lakers gave Dragic the max it would be another situation of these franchises hurting themselves by hurting each other. Dragic would hurt the pick the Lakers owe them and pull one of their best players away from them, but the Lakers would have a lot of money involved in Dragic and it would slow their rebuild.

In the summer league he was trying to be vocal and engaged with the play calling and defensive positioning and the coaches on the bench would have to keep correcting him or telling him not to do it. One time on an inbounds he kept arguing with a coach over where he should position himself before the coach got pissed off and said "Meyers you're the biggest man on the floor just stand under the hoop"

Mardi Gras is pretty cool if you're into binge drinking, less if if you're not.

I figured Meyers was just uncoordinated since he went from 6'3" to 7'1" in like a year, and that's why he looked so lost on the court. But him being stupid makes a lot of sense.

Dumb big guys are the best. I can always feel the void behind Hansbrough's eyes whenever he steps up to shoot free-throws.

You didn't need to edit Von Wafer in, we all knew what he was doing.

All it comes down to is this: I feel like shit, but look great.
When Wafer was with Houston, I saw him at a Chik Fil A. When asked what size drink he wanted, he replied "I don't give a gently caress. "

And that's my Von Wafer story.

I like how everyone is like, "man that David Stern, what a great commissioner" and then Silver comes in and within a few years is going to get rid of half of the terrible things about the NBA.

When Stern was commissioner, he was the best commissioner in American pro sports. He also made the NBA much bigger than it previously was. I thought Silver might be good since he was trained by Stern but I never realized he'd be this good this quickly.

Yeah, the thing I hate in college basketball is that my internal timer is going that they need to rush to get a shot off, then I look and see they still have 15 seconds left

Nope. Anytime Obama wants to issue an executive order to change this would be fine.

Anthony Randolph was a treasure. If he even had moderate basketball IQ he'd be one of the best players in the league.
