I wonder why "gritty" players like Jordan Goodwin get paid significantly less than guys that have such a limited skill set outside of being really good 3 point shooters. Oh that's right, the GM's overvalue that one skill set. Sorry. I apologize

I felt like posting this again. It’s still mind-boggling to me that nobody tried to duplicate the greatest weapon in the history of the NBA.

Random Fact: DeMar DeRozan and Bradley Beal didn’t average 20+ ppg until their fifth season. I don’t like to rush to judgment on young players. But that’s just me.

Jan 21, 1965. Wilt and Nate Thurmond shake hands before the opening jump ball in his first game as a Sixer. Philly beat the Warriors 111-102. Wilt had 22 pts (9-17 FG) and 29 rebounds against his former team. Thurmond finished with 12 pts (5-19 FG) and 16 rebounds.

The Doctor Julius Dr J Erving has said that his greatest dunk came against HOF Elvin Hayes and it led to Hayes not talking to Doc for over a decade. Unfortunately, there is no video of the dunk. I guess people of low intellect would then say it never happened.

This post is so ironic. I was just thinking about this the other day. I saw him play tons of times in Brooklyn to know it’s a travesty that R.HollisJefferson isn’t in the league. It’s a prime example of the GM’s not knowing what skills to value and being obsessed with 3pt shooting

League sources tell me if Ben Simmons does sign with the Celtics, he’ll be looking to purchase a house in Boston, but it must be made of bricks

I absolutely hate to see a mass shooting like this in my hometown of New York City and I’m so sick of the violence in this country

This is what the highest of high intelligence basketball looks like. Today’s NBA players don’t even know how to run a two on one fastbreak.

Memo to those who do a lot of "engagement" posts: I applaud you for your lack of basketball knowledge and creativity. Thanks
