- Comment on Brunson extends, takes less money to help Knicks' flexibility 5 months ago:
One some level, I respect the sacrifice but on another level, I’d probably make James Dolan pay me my money right now and have Charles Oakley come watch me deposit the check.
- Comment on It Would Take 'Star Level Player' for LeBron to Take Pay Cut 5 months ago:
I don’t know if this is true of basketball, specifically, but there’s been examples of players’ unions objecting to a deal. The ones I remember were in baseball and about restructuring a contract. But there’s definitely an unwritten rule that players shouldn’t take too much less than they’re worth in solidarity with other players (who would no doubt be pressured to make the same sacrifices even if they don’t have a billion dollar Nike contract).
It seems like there’s less pressure to follow that rule if a player is nearing retirement and chasing a first ring or has other goals. And the Lakers just drafted Lebron’s unproven son who recently had a heart attack. It’s gotta be unprecedented even if Bronny was a legit prospect before the health scare.
- Comment on 🚨 Pelicans Trading for Dejounte 5 months ago:
I guess Ingram is definitely getting traded now.
- Comment on Rudy Gobert Reportedly Questionable for Wolves-Nuggets Game 2 After Birth of Child 7 months ago:
I didn’t even know he was pregnant. It’s a testament to his athleticism that he played so hard while great with child.

- Comment on [NBPA] A statement from the NBPA on the Orlando Magic’s recent political donations. 1 year ago:
The DeVos family might be the dumbest to ever walk the Earth. They seem to want nothing more than to destroy public education and I have no idea how you even become dumb enough to want more dumbasses. I would think a terrible private school taught them public school is bad but I’ve known plenty of people who went to private and parochial schools and none of them, no matter how bad their education, thought universal K-12 education is somehow bad.
Betsy DeVos is so dumb, she was caught off-guard by everything bad Trump did despite being in the fucking cabinet meetings.
- Comment on Why do we not eat pig or cow? 1 year ago:
It’s because of the Norman conquest of England. Basically, the ruling nobility spoke French and the lower classes spoke English. The peasants who were in charge of livestock spoke English so pig, cow, and chicken stuck around. But it was mostly the upper classes who ate the meats so they used French words at the dinner table (beef from boeuf, pork from porc, poultry from poulet, etc.).
