Bill Simmons is really really good at podcasting and building a team of people. He's pretty good at interviews and getting people. He is not a great pundit.

Simmons in podcast form and when he's writing is entertaining as hell, even when he's constantly wrong and making annoying pop culture references. This should help him focus on what he's good at.

I watched the first episode of Any Given Wednesday and it was just Charles Barkley complaining about how weak and watered-down the NBA is and how none of these guys would've been able to compete in his day. I'm sure they thought Barkley would be funny and wacky but instead he was just bitter and angry, which is a really bad way to start off a brand new show. It'd be like starting a political talk show and having the first guest be my dad.

tanglewood1420 posted:Even if the Knicks renounce everyone in the summer they still won't have enough room to sign a max player unless they trade one of Melo or Noah. Their best shot could be something like a sign and trade with the Clippers for Blake with Melo going the other way. But how they hell they'd be able to convince Blake to come I have no idea. The cap room is the thing to not worry about. Teams would line up to bet on a future Knicks draft pick being good enough to be worth taking Noah on for a year before stretching him if necessary.

Space Camp fuckup posted:I see more Kobe jerseys than Curry, LeBron and MJ put together but there's a lot of folks from California here I live in the Bay area so I've seen a 9000% increase in Curry jerseys and t-shirts in the past few years and it feels like it's just new jersey-wearers, like I haven't felt a huge decline in Rick Barry jerseys. Even here I see a handful of Cavs LeBrons and Kobes. I think Curry's had the top-selling jersey for the past couple of seasons, but again, that's only for a few years and there's 20 years' worth of Bryant jerseys out there.

Minnesota is a good measuring stick since there aren't to many wolves jerseys period. I think MJ is probably the most common, then Kobe, then Lebron and Curry. Lebron gets a lot of hate still.

He didn't start going after the league or Goodell until after Brady got suspended, and then turned it up after said criticism got him in trouble at ESPN.

He satisfied them with fake star power, fake new york grit, and various odds and ends that will make games compelling enough to watch but will ultimately result in a decent pick. He's doing a good job at stealth tanking, he's too smart for it to be anything else. This seems believable. IcePhoenix posted:Also, random question for Zogobot: how common is it for a team to lose three of four games when they had a 15+ point lead at some point in all of them? I'd guess that's not too common at all.

I haven't read or listend to him in a while so I don't know if he's been consistent beyond that, but at least he was pretty anti Goodell for a while.

Ray Allen retired. Top 15 scorer and best 3P shooter of all-time. Curry will probably take title from him in 2018 though. Korver may pass him too eventually. I wanted to see LBJs face during the tenth inning but they didn't show that.

He's shooting 30%, has more turnovers than assists, and has a PER of like 7. Nuggets could easily be 4-0 with someone like Wolters edit: that's on 16 shots a game

If I had to guess, I'd say Kyrie Irving is probably the most commonly owned jersey among vaguely Australian players. Personally I'd pick a Mills jersey over any other Australian players. Or Lauren Jackson but I've never seen them available for men.

There's probably a few I guess. But they're also probably not as readily available. Like, unless you order online, our selection will be maybe 2 or 3 jerseys of each of the most famous 10 players in the NBA in the corner of some sports superstore.

That was before Deflategate. For what it's worth I find Simmons interesting to listen to depending on the guest. He's a good interviewer if given someone interesting to talk to, I have no interest in listening to him being uninformed on sports with his friends.
