the doris burke article was good i was surprised to learn pop is sexist
― 龜, Monday, 6 June 2016 13:12 (eight years ago) link
maybe not surprised but u kno
he does come off as a bit of an asshole
― micah, Monday, 6 June 2016 13:17 (eight years ago) link
i do not think that interview showed that pop was sexist
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 June 2016 15:04 (eight years ago) link
good interview tho, doris is great
Well, that does remind of what happened with you and San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich, when he wouldn't answer your questions besides saying “turnovers.”Yeah, and me choking back tears?Yeah, I remember being very happily surprised that you admitted vulnerability after that. You’re like Hillary Clinton in that people expect you to prove toughness in a way that men don’t need to.Yes, yes, displaying a level of strength and a lack of vulnerability, because that’s what a prerequisite of the job is, when, in actuality, all of the things that make us human will help us do that job better. I’ve been expressing my vulnerability because it’s the truth. I was literally on the verge of tears. And my take on that Popovich situation has changed. We all used to give him a pass because he would say to us privately, "Well, I just can’t help myself. I’m in the game, and this is my job." But I don’t give him a pass anymore. It now frustrates me to the point where I want to say, "I’m not giving you a pass because I’ve seen you when Jeff Van Gundy walks over there, and the interaction is totally different."

yeah i read the interview
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 June 2016 15:30 (eight years ago) link
life would be a lot easier and our problems solved a lot quicker if it were valid to reflexively ascribe malice to individual actors part of a situation as complex and at times ugly as doris' story breaking into the NBA, but it's not. i do understand that a substantial subset of the internet believes that this is the way it works, tho
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 June 2016 15:35 (eight years ago) link
good job at equating casual sexism with active malice, way to move the basketball ring
― 龜, Monday, 6 June 2016 15:37 (eight years ago) link
if you think that anecdote shows pop as being "casually sexist" based on a comparison of one interview with doris and the way he interacts with a former colleague, then god bless
― k3vin k., Monday, 6 June 2016 15:40 (eight years ago) link
the point of the story wasn't pop's sexism it was...systemic sexism in sports and media

new d'antoni rockets perhaps, philly, milwaukee (MCW insurance) - knicks could use him but apparently have already said nah xp self

hornets gonna be a totally different team next year. i think the only FA they have that they really want back is Batum.http://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/CHO.html
― Spottie, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 16:12 (eight years ago) link
wonder what kind of offers Marvin Williams and Big Al will get. marvin played really well in his contract year he's gonna regress back to himself for sure
― Spottie, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 16:16 (eight years ago) link
lakers have no real bigs rn, i could see them shelling out for al jeff
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 16:23 (eight years ago) link
feel like a 2nd tier contender cld take an interest in williams thinking the hornets found something w him at the 4, everyone wants the flexibility of that type of player
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 16:28 (eight years ago) link
yeah def if he played like he did this year then he could help for sure
but look at that spike from the 3 point line this year http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/willima02.html
― Spottie, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 16:31 (eight years ago) link
to be clear i do not personally believe in marvin williams

marvin wilted in the playoffs this year
shot 28/35/50
really hope larry doesnt sign him
― micah, Friday, 10 June 2016 12:06 (eight years ago) link
solomon hill might get a decent offer somewhere - he had an opposite performance via sucking in the regular season then shooting 45/58/94 in the playoffs (only 8ppg tbf)
― micah, Friday, 10 June 2016 12:12 (eight years ago) link
iirc pacers fucked his contract up by not exercising an option and now he enters fa and the pacers can only offer him what they were paying him before which wasn't much
