Noah is the logical choice for sure. I know Dirk enjoys playing tennis. Dirk's tennis tournament is donating all proceeds to Hurricane Harvey relief this year, Cuban is matching. IIRC Dirk ripped on Harry Barnes' tennis skills last year.

The vocal and style range of Rob Halford on the 1970s albums seems impossible. He's like an operatic, demonic chameleon. Then a sullen and downtrodden choirboy, then a shrieking bird of prey. It just doesn't make any sense.

PS People literally trying to imprison the band for subliminal lyrics in 1980s hysteria continues to get funnier in hindsight.

Even funnier , the people shocked,just shocked that halford is gay.
But yeah halford,dickinson,eric adams and dio are pretty much the gold standart for classic metal singers.

Also is there any service that lets you watch nba games on demand?im in europe and getting old and staying awake until 4 am to watch a game every other weekday might literally kill me.

Bojan Bogdanovic is killing it in Europe and now every Pacers fan thinks he is going to drop 30 on the NBA every night. Pacers boards have him and Oladipo putting up 60 points and night together and Oladipo being in the MVP running. Oh the offseason, the hopes and dreams of many.

If you build it (the expectation) They will gun.

what's interesting about Ainge is that he played the 1981 MLB season then played for the Celtics for the 81-82 season. That's a pretty short turnaround!

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; 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.

Tennis as a pro sport is weird because the structural classisim that exists in the sport in a lot of places on the planet diverts so many people from a sport that just at least in theory should be pretty wide spread; there's a tennis court in almost every midsized park and at most jr highs and high schools. A lot of basketball players have some physical traits that would at least give them the basic foundations to be good at the sport.
