One of the slamball color guys is an ex player. Lamonica Davis.

And the announcer asks him "What's the difference between slamball now and when you were playing?"

He says "it was more physical back then. The games softer now"

yeah he was and a lot of bulls fans are melting down that the bulls reportedly didn't even make him an offer. bulls have a terrible track record of this: they let dinwiddie go when they desperately needed a serviceable point guard and let strus go when they desperately needed shooting, so if JFL is the next guy who turns out to be an NBA rotation player that they had and let go for nothing i'll be annoyed.

The talent level of basically every sport has continuously improved for at least 70+ years. "Toughness" is the only thing old former players have going for them, since it's clear that the average quality of whatever game it is has only gotten better.

It's his wedding. He should do what he loves. Being shackled by outside expectations into doing some bullshit on your wedding is for the birds.

Imagine James marrying some poor lady that, through a convoluted series of improbable miscommunication, as well as a media blindness equal to what he himself displayed with the blue line face mask was unaware of his lifestyle.

"Honey," she says. "Let's do whatever you want for our special day."

Edit

"All you gotta do is show up with your dress"

And then she unwittingly invites her closest family and friends, all just as improbably oblivious, as well as their plus ones, to watch her say her vows on a mirrored stage between two women that seem to be on a first name basis with her new husband, in a venue where his jersey hangs from the rafters.

The women started the ceremony wearing her same dress.

someone on Reddit posted a clip of Rose comparing Pierce's accomplishments to Wade's when Rose/Pierce were both on the ESPN desk and it seemed like it was right after Pierce compared them together so he was probably getting a lot of notifications about it and just wanted people to leave him alone

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
Wade has the higher peak but Pierce has longevity in terms of playing a very high level. Pierce has him beat in career WS among other stats, even though I'd probably give the edge to Wade just in terms of impact.

Doesn't seem like a bad comparison? I think it's fair to claim they are really close and I could see arguments either way.

Wade's career PER is higher than every season of Pierce except his best (which is higher by 0.1) lol

Pierce does not seem mentally well. That's kind of sad.


Dwyane Wade runs laps around him in terms of legacy. Pierce's best year might be Wade's 6th, Wade was a #1 on one title team and a #2 on two more while Pierce just has 08 where he incorrectly won MVP (Garnett had a higher WS, Allen had a higher GameSc).

Imagine being a sure thing hall of famer and getting upset about not being clearly better than another sure thing hall of famer.

Imagine criticizing a sure thing hall of famer for not being clearly better than another one.
