Tbf that was last year, he didn't make it this time

Nice to see Jokic managed to sneak into the top 15 and top LaMelo Ball.
Last year JB was in the top 15 of jersey sales. Not that that is the reason why he's worth paying all that money, just pointing out that when you say no fan buys his jersey? You're wrong.
The justification for his pay is the same as most any player with that kind of contract: it's the going rate for a star. With the CBA rules and all of the...
He's averaged 23 PPG in the regular season and playoffs and is about to make $65M. What do you think?
No fan is thinking "I need to go pick up the new variant of Jaylen Brown's jersey! " or "Jaylen is coming to town, let me blow my allowance money on tix!"
lol so he doesn't deliberately push people in the back when getting rebounds? He's been called for it in this current series and I've seen him doing it without the ref noticing. Pushing guys while they are in the air and all.
Then you got stuff like this:
This is something Bill Laimbeer would be proud of.
Historically, stock market performance has been one of the biggest factors in determining whether a president stays for 2nd term or not. The rich people are impacted the most by the stock market, and they have the most push/pull in the system (institutions too). The stock market has been on a tear lately. I really don't see biden losing this...
Gobert probably would be a nobody in the 90s. The slow pace and lack of spacing required players to develop better post moves or to brute force it with low skill but max physicality.
I don't think frenchie would respond well to banging and getting elbowed in the mouth. He's a bit of a complainer to the refs.
He'd be a run of the mill Bryant...
The guys who were smaller had no issue though. Surely he would adjust to the style at the time. We know he's a dirty player now so he might have exceeded in the 90s. :confusedshrug:
This is what institutionalized media looks like.
There are plenty of problematic, disliked bad attitude, and off court messy situations among coaches of all races... but if they are likely to report on one of them it's most likely to be the black coach.
The subtle reporting that portrays the "diva" star black players who abuse what power...
Thats what they did back then. They didnt understand yet that bodies are only made to carry so much weight. Also he would have had to bang a lot more in a much more physical league that was built around post play
I disagreed with the way you framed the narrative on griffin losing his job.
I did not make the racism claim. There are not many reasons a coach gets fired. I can think of a big 4... moron, weakling, stale or asshole. I have not researched it. It does feel like black coaches get stamped as an asshole more than the other 3 choices but none of...
