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.
The idea it's hard for a teenager to be up at 2:00 AM . ESPN has such boomer brain.

Please don't let the Mavs get jumped by Bulls, Thunder, Raptors or Pelicans.

They will never move up, especially not this year. They must be punished for tanking in two games.

So by NBA player under 30 standards he should be ready for bed in about 4 hours.

Really don’t like the overblown ESPN presentation for the draft lottery, wish that could be rolled back

It's the closest thing the NBA has to the NFL's shameless effort to turn the loving schedule release into a piece of Event Television and it makes me sad. Whenever they started bringing in the top prospects to the lottery to say "Uh I hope whoever ends up at the top picks me, I guess?" was a very bad inflection point. This should be held in an ugly room with 7 sub-GM team executives, 4 mid-to-low tier franchise legends and 3 end-of-rotation players representing the lotto teams

LeBron is the most hype I have lived through by far, I was too young for Gretzky or Magic.

Orlando would actually be a genuinely fun landing spot for him. Vic, Paulo and Franz would sound like the cast of characters of a WWII war flick and a fun young core

Yeah, the NBA Draft is right up there with the College Football Playoff selection show. I'll give March Madness a bit of a pass since it's such a huge tournament field these days and a lot of information to get through, but dragging out the announcement of the top four CFB teams the way they do now is just horrific.
