Also Andre Iguodala is one of the most bitch made dudes in the entire NBA. Makes me so happy that LeBron owning the gently caress out of him will be a play that is remembered forever.

Just a reminder that Russell Westbrook blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Western Conference Finals and dribbled the ball off his foot in the final minute of game 7. Honestly, that's the best self-own out there.

Yes, but let's not let facts and reality get in the way.

Edit: also probably from when he slipped off the rim and landed funny on one leg.

This is exactly the reality I was describing. Embiid has learned to move really safely but hasn't learned to fall over yet when things go weird, like Lebron or Curry

Okafor would also give Portland a lot more flexibility at the 5. They could then decide who they want to keep out of Ed Davis, Plumlee, Ezeli and Leonard. So Okafor would be a good way for Portland to get under the luxury tax next season.

Hahaha
I love that trade for the Blazers. Accepting Lillard and MccOlllummm will never defend a soul amd so choosing a center who doesn't waste his time on it either. Score 130 and lose, score 131 and win, at least the fans will have a good time.

Watching this Greg Oden piece on Outside the Lines where he's talking about his struggles with drug and alcohol abuse makes me really feel for the guy. Now he's back at OSU working towards his degree.

Hope he is successful :unsmith:

So many amazing quotes in this Times piece about the Knicks
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/10/sports/basketball/oakley-dolan-knicks-madison-square-garden.html

quote:

"He may have a problem with alcohol; we don’t know," Dolan told Kay. "There are personality problems."

Dolan appears to have expertise in these matters.

quote:

If you run your business like a medieval fortress, you can’t complain about how precisely your Earl Constable beheads objects of your disfavor.

quote:

Jackson is not that man. No longer forced to meet with the news media daily, as when he coached, he prefers to cultivate an air of mystery, the enigmatic Captain Beefheart of this hair-on-fire administration.

quote:

On Thursday, Jackson tried to calm the waters. He did this not with a news conference, which is the vale inhabited by team presidents; he posted on Twitter again. He offered an emoji peace sign to a society "torn with discord. I’m against it. Let It Be."

This would be adorable if Jackson were 11 years old.

Perfect spot for him if so. If he's going to be a good NBA player Davis is exactly the kind of 4 it'll be beside.

You're like Donald Trump. Your team's good, won a championship, may just win another and blasted OKC into near irrelevance by signing KD, but you're still upset and lashing out that the internet is making jokes about them. We're punching up friend, relax.

A bigger self-own would be being the "man" on a team then fleeing to the team that you just blew a 3-1 lead to. The biggest self own would be losing the Finals after having a 3-1 lead in the last minute with 4 different chances to win.
