After a long silence: “There are no words for that.”

Harden pushed off. But that is apparently legal in today’s game because so many players do it. Shai and JT are the best.

Not only annoying but morally questionable. Gambling always corrupts the integrity of whatever it touches. Like the NBA didn’t have questionable integrity before all of this already.

Adam Silver allowing this told me everything I needed to know about his mindset as commissioner.

Kobe literally modeled his game after Jordan’s as Jordan did with George Gervin.

Nobody see Jarett Allen start boxing out but stumble and realize Chet was already at the hoop?

Peak Iverson era where every team was trying to find the next Jordan with high usage inefficient gunners was the time I drifted away from the NBA. The games were stagnant and boring. The ball zipping around? Nope, none of that. Iso iso iso. D’Antoni’s Phoenix Suns in 2006 brought exciting team ball back starting a trend that all the other teams emulated and brought me back to watching.
