Clyde Drexler had just over 30 million in career earnings which was way above average for players around that time and he had to look at the ball when he dribbled time is a flat circle
That moment when you realize you've watched too many JJ Redick pod clips on YouTube because this popped up in your feed for suggested viewing.
I don’t get the point of waiting until after the finals to talk about the Ja Morant situation. It would’ve already been out of the news cycle, instead I keep seeing it brought up.
Felt like Silver easily could have said “we are still doing our due diligence and will let you guys know after we gather all the facts” felt like an own goal from him for no reason
I love the idea that every decent team that plays Boston for the last couple of year includes things in their game plan like, “Jaylen can’t dribble so swipe every chance you get for free turnovers”
I think it signifies the punishment is going to be quite severe, like a 6-12 month suspension, and this preemptive statement helps justify the severity/soften the blow. But weird comment nonetheless. I think a no comment, will address after the finals was more appropriate
Going to Game 2 tonight. Been to a lot of playoff games but this will be my first Finals game, pretty excited.
Saw Rachel Nichols talking about it. Essentially Silver said he’s not sure if the 8 games was enough considering the new “additional information” he mentioned in the presser. Rachel threw out a number like 12-16 ( ) that Silver mentioned I’m kinda at the point where I’d be surprised if Ja got 50 or more games
I’m firmly of the position that it was stupid and reckless but I’d be absolutely shocked at a 50 game suspension. Anything over 20 is a penalty for making the league look stupid.
That's basically what this whole situation is and always has been. NBA has an image it has cultivated that it is very financially invested in maintaining. It cannot abide behavior like Ja's
Surprised that our lovely announcers haven’t broken out their bit where they complain how he pronounces his name
