ty

the doris burke article was good i was surprised to learn pop is sexist

maybe not surprised but u kno

he does come off as a bit of an asshole

i do not think that interview showed that pop was sexist

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

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

good job at equating casual sexism with active malice, way to move the basketball ring

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

the point of the story wasn't pop's sexism it was...systemic sexism in sports and media

SO Hornacek was the idiot after all

WOW Curry isnt playing in the Olympics :(

not surprising, his health is still kinda questionable

oh dang that's really sad, i was just thinking the other day how exciting that was going to be

yeah pretty bummed

contract year

the extent to which he wld light up the int game wld be so crazed

yeah obv a smart move on his part to rest his knee and not risk injury for $$$ but I'm selfish lagoon otm

rip sean rooks

@MarcJSpearsESPN
It saddens to report Sixers assistant coach & ex-NBA center Sean Rooks, 46, passed away in Philadelphia today, sources told @TheUndefeated.

aw

so many ballers die so young :/

chris bosh is in a blood thinner medication ad now this is a bummer

opportunistic tho

Lin opted out

could see him getting decent money from a bunch of places

errybody opting out

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

lin will get a good contract

lin is good only thing maybe holding him back is there are so many starting quality 1s right now

probably trusts in god too much too

lin is a quality backup pg, cory joseph in toronto might be instructive about where his market value is

hornets gonna be a totally different team next year. i think the only FA they have that they really want back is Batum.

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

lakers have no real bigs rn, i could see them shelling out for al jeff

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

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

to be clear i do not personally believe in marvin williams

ok lol

Fuck Marvin Williams

was waiting for that, took you a while

marvin wilted in the playoffs this year

shot 28/35/50

really hope larry doesnt sign him

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)

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
