Zach Lowe wrote words on Bledsoe. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18601276/zach-lowe-eric-bledsoe-devin-booker-phoenix-suns-nba quote:During a Clippers practice in 2012, after Eric Bledsoe's frenzied second unit whipped the starters again, Lamar Odom walked off the floor with Chauncey Billups and shouted his prediction for Bledsoe's future: "Big Shot, when that boy learns to speak English, he is gonna be a bad man!"

I have watched objectively better Rocket's players in my lifetime but Yao is far and away my favorite NBA player ever. Godspeed you giant human

Great moments in DBZ history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SoztQ9uRx0&t=190s While everyone was talking about pants LBJ passed the 200 WS mark. Beginning to see hints at nba.com that Kawhi Leonard might get the MVP: http://www.nba.com/video/2017/01/31/20170131-nba-gametime-thunder-spurs-recap-analysis Libertine posted:I can't imagine why any sports team owner in the United States wouldn't vote Republican just for tax reasons. I'm way too cynical to think any of them are altruistic. I doubt any of them bother voting. Billionaires have so much more power compared to the little peons entering a voting booth. Every four years the voting power in a growing country diminishes as well. Maybe someone has a photo of a sports owner in a voting booth as evidence. Redgrendel2001 posted:Counterpoint: Cuban is a sleazy shitbag who despises workers' rights and Unions; he only supported Hillary because she was a regular Republican. Cuban is funny. He's the billionaire dirtbag who pretends to be your cool liberal/hip friend while stabbing you in the back.

I'm willing to bet at least Johnny Buss and Glen Taylor vote.

Count the Blazers as at least the 3rd team that doesn't want to sign Larry Sanders. https://twitter.com/jwquick/status/827293342731874304 Porzingis is in the skills challenge. https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/827302849747025920 Former skills challenge champion Pat Beverley wants in. https://twitter.com/calvinwatkins/status/827304139575140352 and I don't have a tweet about it to post atm but Wes Matthews is in the 3 point contest. https://twitter.com/mikegrich/status/827263030538821633 Spacebump fucked around with this message at 01:34 on Feb 3, 2017 |

I've also read in a couple places the Rockets don't want him, although not from anyone reputable e: I believe that Patrick Beverley should be named Eternal Skills Champion of the Glorious NBA Republic rather than being required to lower himself to competing in a contest again. chunkles fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Feb 3, 2017 |

DeAndre will be in the dunk contest. But unless he gets Brandon Knight to stand as a prop or he dunks through a pane of glass I'm not sure if he'll do that well.

Spacebump posted:After reading that article, I wondered how many NBA owners are pro-Trump and hoping nobody notices. Dan Gilbert hosted Trump's nuremburg rally (aka the RNC) in the Cavs' arena. I think the deal to host the RNC was done before Trump was the nominee, but still. Anyone out of that field of candidates was going to be a horrific human being.

There hasn't been a single word published unless it was clippers beat writers. But he did go to the post sterling tape season clippers and play like poo poo, but that could have easily been fit issues, he's a very specifically shaped puzzle piece

I was about to list all the other cartoons I watched growing up, but stopped and deleted it all once the list reached 15 shows and showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. Between my free time before school, after school, and Saturday mornings, I watched a ton of shows. ---- I really like the inclusion of a bunch of bigs in the skills contest.

Dan Gilbert donated to basically every state's Democratic party in the 2016 cycle. If anything he was taking GOP money and funneling some of it to the DNC.

Dunks DeAndre should do: 1) Dunk through a 15'x15' pane of glass placed in front of the hoop 2) Dunk through a glass lid placed over the rim 3) Dunk a glass ball that shatters after going through the hoop 4) Dunk over a glass sculpture of Brandon Knight that shatters on impact 5) Dunk over a picture of Dwight Howard trapped in a pane of glass

I mean he's still a horrible garbage idiot but at least he's probably not an actively fascist horrible garbage idiot.

I missed his RNC donations because I was just looking for Quicken Loans and not Rock Holdings. http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.php?name=dan+gilbert&cycle=2016&sort=R&state=&zip=&employ=&cand=&submit=Submit Pacs are listed on opensecrets.org but I guess super pacs aren't. That $1.6 million isn't listed on his search. Guess he is playing both sides. On further inspection the site has a Super Pac graphic with nodes of donors but I don't know how to pull up the individuals contributions off of it. https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/super-pac-donors edit: here are his disclosed Super Pac donations. They really should have this searchable with everything else on the site. https://www.opensecrets.org/outsidespending/donor_detail.php?cycle=2016&id=U0000004594&type=I&super=N&name=Gilbert%2C+Daniel Spacebump fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Feb 3, 2017 |

When your business model depends on siphoning public money into your pocket, the governor of your state is the most important palm to grease.
