In his prime he had an incredible knack for getting to the line. Too injury prone. Very good player who could have been a great player if it wasn’t for that.

They’re trying to assemble Exodia.

Started off 2-1. They’re now on a 13 game losing streak.

I feel like in this NBA world we could make something happen with both Pascal and OG still active. That’s a pretty damn good 1-2 punch in this timeline.

I still don’t understand why mods delete OC. Isn’t the point of Reddit that users choose what they want to see by upvoting? Quality OC will therefore make its way to the top organically while shitty OC will never be seen by anyone who doesn’t browse “new”. So why do mods need to insert themselves in it?

Imagine you’re John Wall. Your first ever year in the NBA and you step into a locker room that has Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, Andray Blatche and JaVale McGee you end up thinking this is the normal way a locker room interacts.

“You mean you guys don’t shit in y’all teammates shoes?”

Kobe but the other way for me. I respect his talents and greatness but I can’t get past the Denver incident for me to like him.

Was still very sad when he passed and he’s still an absolute NBA legend but I don’t personally like him.

The Clippers alley oop dunk is still the most amazing feat I have seen in-game. I wish we had HD footage of how stupid it was.

The way he gets up there isn’t normal. He’s a freak.

Playing behind JKidd and Kevin Johnson. Both a brutal and good situation for him. Brutal in the sense that his minutes were severely limited. Good in the sense that he had two very talented mentors.

It’s impressive he even manages to get on the court given his situation.

Michigan State fan?

Hauser up there somewhere.

That’s my fucking GROAT. Dude’s still got it, just a little less consistently in old age.

Also the “you ladies alright?” ref

The historic answer for almost everyone is Adrian Dantley. Highly efficient low post scorer who was like 6"3 and still couldn’t be stopped. Ultimately he was a black hole and a bad defender, the Pistons began winning championships when they shipped him off for Mark Aguirre, but he is one of the single best scorers in league history and a player no one will ever duplicate. But no one ever talks about him.

I was getting shitted on for questioning their start. People were saying I was a hater for thinking they might not make the playoffs even if they were 2-1. Got the “nah we good now, you just haven’t been watching.” Yeah, I was watching.

Gambling has always been an issue but there’s going to be a gambling addiction epidemic in the next decade. The high school kids I coach, who aren’t even of age to gamble, are already putting way too money on sports games. I try to make them see that it isn’t a good idea, but they’re in it already. It’s a plague.

“When you first got to prison, who was the first guy to bust your ass?”

It’s insane that the Lakers have to rely so badly on a 39-year old. And it’s even crazier that the 39-year old keeps delivering.

Meanwhile our coaching staff sitting there like they’re all aboard the Starship Enterprise.
