you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

I'd pay a significant sum of $$$ to anyone who punched Rovell right in the face.

This tweet was supposed to be a compliment but it also kind of nails The Ringer's house style of using incredibly stupid and unnecessary analogies

He's not even up to date on his Pokemon gimmicks. Gigantamax Siakam using Max Wildfire would destroy the NBA.

LeBron is OBVIOUSLY Dragonite. Underwhelmong in the first generation (Rookie year with the Cavs) but then the absolute best in the league (OU) come 2014 (Against the Warriors.) Extremespeed (LeBron's sneaky good 3 Point shot) gives him an amazing edge.
NO ONE DENIES THIS!

It's interesting information in a vacuum, it says something important about mass media in the US. You really get the sense Rovell only posted it because he gets rock hard thinking about that much money changing hands, though. He's irredeemable.

Rovell's tweet would have been just normal gross tone-deaf Rovell if he just...didn't decide to include the full unedited video of JFK's murder? The fact that he posted that with it really takes it from bad Rovell to worst Rovell
