ehhh...he used to be a lot better.

Well he was a lot more prolific. He doesn't really write anymore. He runs his company and does podcasts.

But his podcasts are funny and interesting for the most part.

I like Bill Simmons not for his Boston homerism, but for all the 80s and 90s pop culture references.
It's like Family Guy for sports.
Where else can you use Karate Kid, Rounders, etc. to write entire columns.
Sure, might not agree with all his commentary, but his columns were always good for a few laughs.
Now, maybe not so much.....

What's wrong with Simmons? His website is fantastic and he absolutely loves basketball.
Dude went into hiding after his HBO show went into the TOILET.

I don't like him at all.

But, that's not surprising considering his allegiance to Boston Sports, which led him to Shit all over Doc and the Clippers.

What makes this extra funny is the Warriors came extremely close to trading Draymond AND Klay for Love a few years back, when he was in Minnesota. Jerry West said he would quit the team if they did it.

LOL. And why does GS trade Klay for Love? Why would the Cavs be in position to draft the #1 2019 recruit after adding the supposedly mighty Zion?

He didn't go into hiding. His was building his website which is pretty damn good.

He basically gave up on writing and does mostly just podcasts.

Guy is funny as hell and he basically grew up at the same time as me so his culture jokes are always in my wheel house.

The Ringer and The Athletic are in my regular rotation.

The Ringer is a niche website.

He gave up on writing because he wasn't getting close to the amount of web traffic he got funneled to Grantland Thru ESPN.

it's not profitable enough because he is an acquired taste.

I know tons of people who like his stuff.

I'm just not one of them.

I do like some of their podcasts, especially JJ's.

They probably aren't pulling in quite the haul of those cesspool pods broadcast on Barstool.

But, I'd imagine he is doing pretty well, especially if he's still being subsidized by HBO.

shiiiiiit the Suns have been drafting at the top of the lotto for years and still are gonna maybe get the #1 pick again...your Lakers were terrible for 5 years and still got tons of high picks.....

Zion would help but a 19 year old Zion doesnt help THAt much.......

OKC was bad enough after drafting Durant to draft RW and Harden.



2023 Cavs will have Zion, Wise and Bronny Jr., and have a broken down LeBron as a 4th option!!!

in the words of Bart Scott:

CANT WAIT!
