Up in mlb draft

Narrative not basketball. Go watch General Hospital.

That’s the whole problem, Harden starred in it

With Sacramento’s 17-year playoff drought almost definitely coming to an end, what would become the new funniest/saddest NBA streak? I considered (a) MJ not winning a playoff series as a player or owner since the 1998 Finals, (b) no Lakers first-round pick lasting more than four straight years with the franchise since Andrew Bynum or (c) the Clippers NEVER making the Finals in 53 years dating back to Buffalo. But here’s your answer: John Mayer, Kanye West, Tom Brady, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Shakira, and John Cena are all about as old as Washington’s last 50-win season (1978-79). Forty-four years and counting!

Yeah, the lakers one is misleading because they traded ones away for Brow....and a ring.

A trade they'd make every time.


I do like the MJ one though.

Man, @Mecca the Bucks needed every one of Giannis' 54 points to beat the Clippers.

The Clippers just needed one collective testicle, outside Powell, to not Clip.

It's a shame Darius Garland (22.0 ppg, 8.2 asts, 1.3 stls) didn't get an all star invite but DeRozen got one for leading the Bulls to 24-27 record. Or that Jrue Holiday (19.2 ppg, 7.2 stls, 1.3 stls) got an invite.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Ok, what reason would he have to low blow Mitchell? Is it not a possibility that he was trying to look for the ball?

They haven't liked each other for years, this isn't the first time these two have gotten into it but then again Brooks has been going after a lot of guys

I don't mind DeRozan but Holiday getting over him doesn't make a whole lot of sense imo

Short answer: Because he’s a piece of shit.

Probably like the story said because of an ineligible player.

But, the Catholic schools can recruit like crazy......SMH.

DeRozen's a damn good player. But with where the Bulls are at right now I think Garland was more deserving. And the Holiday selection. Garland has better numbers.

Long answer:

I didn't like how Brooks was laughing on the sideline while things were being reviewed.

As far as I'm concerned Spida had every right to react the way he did. What Books did- hitting him in the business district on purpose was way outta line.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Mater Dei's basketball team in Orange County is a HS dynasty and they are shameless in getting out of area players.

Same with their football squad. They are probably even better at it though.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Gary McKnight is the Head Basketball Coach for Mater Dei High School in Orange County California. During Coach McKnight's tenure his teams have won 11 California state championships, 23 CIF championships, 36 out of 37 league titles and 1,136 games.

Pretty sure I have a canker sore on the roof of my mouth and it really sucks.

Takes the enjoyment out of eating.

They should all be required to play with the biggest schools, or have their own state tournament

They ruin it for everyone else

I agree, it's really an unfair advantage.

Garland doesn’t even make my top 3 East snubs:
Siakam Harden Trae Young in any order you want before Garland.

The coaches completely shit the bed on these reserves. DeRozan Halliburton and Holiday aren’t All Stars.

Catholic schools don’t have a geographic area.
