Lowe is still the best basketball writer around, but now that he’s a Journalist and beholden to keeping sources happy the signal:noise in his articles is down about 35% from his Grantland peak.

Why is nu-Deadspin spilling so much ink caping for Jalen Hurts? There's nothing especially wrong with that; he's a cool player if not a good quarterback, but it just seems like kind of a random thing for them to latch on to.

the trick to understanding a simmons opinion is that it either comes from a father issue or a dumb media grudge, i threw on his podcast and it turns out that rodman isn't interesting because ESPN released a post-simmons 30 for 30 on rodman that was "as long as the bad boys documentary"

Even in that podcast, after saying that Rodman wasn't that interesting, he goes on to describe him as the only player he ever saw that started moving to where he thought the rebound was going while the shot was still rising - the sort of unique talent and ability that makes a basketball player, um, interesting.

I loved the anecdote from Dream Team about how Patrick Ewing and his high school buddies had that same opinion, and then after the first time Ewing played against Bird in the NBA he called one of them and said "You know all that poo poo we talked about Bird? Forget it. This motherfucker is the truth."

Larry Legend was a god tier poo poo-talker tooquote:When Dennis Rodman was playing for Detroit early in his career, he got assigned to Bird during a game against Boston. Bird made four consecutive baskets and proceeded to tell Pistons coach Chuck Daly, "Who’s guarding me, Chuck? Is anyone guarding me? You better get someone on me or I’m gonna go for 60." No matter how close up Rodman would get to Bird, trying to deny him the ball, Bird would playfully yell to teammates to hurry up and get him the ball "before they notice nobody is guarding me." quote:It was no surprise that Bird was dominant in the All Star Game 3-point shooting contest, winning the first three events beginning with the inaugural one in 1985-86. Before the event would even start he would ask the others participating who was competing for second place. When Craig Hodges won in ’89-90, with Bird not participating, he was asked whether his victory needed an asterisk because he didn’t go against Bird. "He knows where to find me," Hodges said. The words were taken to Bird for a response, who said, "Yeah, at the end of the Bulls’ bench." E: vvvv yessss lol DJExile fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Apr 28, 2020 |

sports blogging needs to cast off the corporate yoke of vox et al and return to the days when a hobbyist made a blogspot account, called the site something like "Ken Macha is a Moron and I Hate Him," and stopped updating a month or so after getting linked by Deadspin
