Today's is mean if you are someone who has never thought about the Kings, Nuggets or Charlotte bobcats/hornets defensive players in more than passing.

The Kings one I ended up having to just like think about dudes with defensive reputations who moved around a fair amount who played on the kings at some point and got one after 3 guesses. Then I looked it up and felt stupid for not remembering the more obvious one.

|DJ Augustin really is the goat in this game lol.

It's stupid that the player list is all time but the franchises aren't. Like it won't accept Tiny Archibald because he was a Kansas City King and not a Sacramento one.

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.

I feel like if I'm a team like Boston that is hording second round picks I would want to beat this. I know he didn't have a great season last year but he at least shows more potential than you statistically get from two or three second round picks.

Only one I was blanking on was the Boston/Denver overlap. Probably someone obvious, but oh well. It was good opportunity to remember Gerald Wallace and Doug Christie. I feel like *wags finger* was an easy one for the Nuggets.

After watching him play one game, I can say that Chet holmgren still plays basketball with the intent of, but not the deviousness or efficacy of, a 90s serial killer. If he doesn't break in half before then he is going to be the toughest player in the league when Adams retires.

He wants to kill someone with a legal blocked shot but hasn't sat down to think about how it's possible.

Everyone that covers the Thunder says on this current roster he's by far the cockiest. He spent this last year just wanting to block NBA shots.

NBA People and Players loving love Kobe.

And now that he's dead, and went through the PR process of cleaning his image for a decade and a half before dying. Most people aren't going to speak ill of the dead. Especially when his death is also tied to his daughter's death.
