Speaking of Wilt, the Wilt Archive posted about 20 minutes of footage from the 1964 finals

I hadn't finished this when I posted it, but you need to watch the sequence between 6:15-6:30

Scores off the glass then runs down the court blocks Bill Russell on the fast break

Also, at 7:35, a nice shot of Wilt shooting his freethrows underhand

It was a really horrible draft, and everyone was super sad for Toronto not being to draft Oden. KD wasn't really on the radar as top pick back then, he probably would have ended up a mid-lottery pick.

KD is going to choke in the Finals. I can feel it in my bones.

Last time he was in the finals, he averaged 30 a game on 55% FG and 40% from 3

So I'm gonna disagree

Chris Paul ahead of Nash, Payton, Iverson, Stockton, and pistons Isiah Thomas?
A shitload of guys over Kareem?
Chris Bosh on the list?
KG over Kobe?
No Vince Carter?
Dwight Howard on the list?


I feel like this list loving sucks

EDIT: James Harden looks embarrassed that he was included on the list

Which Golden State or Cleveland Cavaliers player would you most enjoy having a beer with. The caveat is that their entire entourage has to be there too, so with Lebron you get 100 handlers and security guards.

Klay, because he would pull out a joint before we finished our first beer

It's kinda crazy still that Steph only managed 11 million annual but someone like Chandler Parsons and Noah easily got big money despite similar spotty injury histories. I should look up who his agent was at that time.

I mean, he signed back when the cap about about 40% lower, but the main he reason he signed for so cheaply was that he was coming off severe injury issues. The season before he signed the extension, he had only played 23 games (in the lockout shortened year, but he still missed well over 50% of the season with recurring ankle injuries).

LaVar's meltdown if he gets passed over by the Lakers would be the best moment of the draft. It would almost be as good if they trade the pick and the small market Pacers select him.

Yes, please trade us Paul George for Lonzo Ball

This draft sounds awful

The big problem with this draft is there isn't a clear #2 player. Fultz would probably getting John Wall levels of hype had he gone to a good school.

The real problem with this draft is Harry Giles repeatedly tearing his ACLs. Had he never done so, he would almost certainly be the #1 pick, but his injuries have both slowed his development and also made a lot of teams super nervous. He might never have a knee issue again and be a 10X all-star, or his knees might be permanently hosed and he turns out to be the next Bynum/Oden.

This is the 'not about wins or losses' reason Lebron was talking about, gotta get high to forget the pain! Is CA medical only or full legal?

In between, full legal was passed but doesn't go into effect until 2018

Of course I was joking. It was a reference to the larger than usual percentage of the Indian diaspora living in the South Bay.

With that said, I live a few blocks from Golden Gate Park. My kids go to school in the Haight. I wander Golden Gate Park all the time. It's perfectly fine here. Quite nice actually. SF has a big homeless problem, and a drug problem that is shared by all American cities, but it is far from "hilariously unsafe."

There are about 50 homicides a year in San Francisco, and almost all of them occur in only 3 out of the 25 or so neighborhoods: the Tenderloin, the Inner Mission or Hunters Point. 50 homicides is a low figure for a very dense city of nearly 850,000 people (at least when measured on the violent American scale). That's quite a bit less than the total for other cities with equivalent populations like Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Columbus Ohio, and so forth.

And that's your news of the day. Don't be scared of cities.

The only truly awful part of SF is the Tenderloin

Question: when was the last time the best player in the league was foreign? Dirk? I know he won MVP in 06-07 but that was a close year. Before that is had to be Hakeem.

Soon it will be Giannis

Do we count Steve Nash? Or is it the consensus that he didn't deserve his MVPs?

I've read a bunch of their explanations at this point and they're all really bad, and that one kinda conflicts with Doris Burke's sideline reporting during the game. It was a huge fuckup no matter what happened.


i really wish people would gently caress off with this obnoxious smug poo poo already. Yeah my city is much fuller of the smarters because we voted for the openly corrupt political family who'd helped oversee several decades of slow crushing economic decline, an ever-shrinking middle class, the rise of the prison industrial complex, offered nothing new except a continuation of destructive globalist neoliberal policies, literally mocked the electorate, etc etc etc etc. The candidates weren't the people's fault, our awful broken voting system pre-screens candidates by wealth, but now everyone in this country thinks it's okay to hate everyone else for a decision almost nobody was happy with.

Might as well say that every state that went Blue is pro-slavery globalists because Hillary owned a few state slaves back in her Arkansas days and by golly some of them had street smarts. Ohio's gone blue plenty of times, but good luck appealing ever again to people you're openly disdainful of in every casual comment.

Draymond's just doing some fun WWE poo poo, he was nodding his head yesterday when thousands of people surrounded him chanting "DRAYMOND SUCKS" (for playing basketball against them. What's that gotta feel like?). He's allowed some heel action, everyone else is probably being a dick and finding some weak ex post facto justification for it
