bill simmons IS bill simmons IN the book of BASKETBALL

ha

simmons is ray liotta in goodfellas and mike&mike is joe pesci in goodfellas and espn is paul sorvino in goodfellas

Simmons working in a different corporate context ... it's hard to imagine that it would go well considering that his first real job as an adult (probably?) randomly turned into a cult of personality / fiefdom.

im sure any number of prominent outlets would let him say whatever he wants about roger goodell

Which would be the best fit iyo

first look media

the interception: a bill simmons digital magazine

classic simmons column for which the tl;dr version can be described as *masturbates furiously*

i had to go and look out of morbid curiosity but i couldn't bear to read it

If you made up an adjective to describe Westbrook or MVP Rose, it would be “freakocious.” A ferocious freak, basically.

oof

naturally he found a way to sneak kelly o. in there

tbf kellyo is the biggest nba story of 2015

List makes no sense whatsoever

Marcus Smart, Elfrid Payton: 2015’s copresidents of the “If They Learn How To Shoot, Look Out!”

smart literally shooting 36% from three right now, a look at his shot chart will tell u the problem has actually been his finishing at the rim aka the thing everyone thought he was good at

http://i.imgur.com/PvKKM2C.png

feel like he has a good chance to improve significantly there, he looks hesitant when he drives leading me to believe its just something he needs to figure out rather than something hes not capable of

57. Draymond Green
56. Goran Dragic
Draymond is Golden State’s best defender,

wut

dub's best defender without lingering health issues?

hes a really good defender for sure tho a lil undersized, just a weird thing to say about a team that has a legit great defender

oh yeah definitely agree. i like simmons but he gets excited and says dumb things sometimes

52. Kevin Love

not gonna bother counting how many players above love who irl their teams wld trade for him but its a lot

just skimmed the rest of it w/e

rebuttal on kinja imo

haha i actually thought of that not sure if i can do it tho

considering his contract......... i dunno

everyone jumping on love for half a season being depressed and bad on a team where everyone has been depressed and bad prob wldnt make very good GMs imho

his value was already lower in the league than outside of it, and now this, plus you're only getting him for a half a season potentially

i stand by my initial statement

btw if cleveland were to sell low on love it wld lead to some excellent file for later takes all across the basketballashpere

well clearly part of the reason he's so low is that he's a free agent next year

calling draymond the best defender on the dubs is defensible, he can really guard anyone and the advanced numbers love him

no

Yeah no draymond is mad good but healthy bogut is an all-world defender

take away bogut' stall points from RPM and they're probably neck and neck lol

i mean dray is an all-world defender it's not up for debate

all world is excessive imo idk know what stall points from RPM mean but it sounds like a bunch of baloney and i have already disproven you anyway by debating it

damn that's true

stall points = tall points

even if dray is all world their relative style of play man defense v rim protection imo makes their value no comparison, bogut is of course also a very good man on man defender

So is draymond. It's pretty close but bogut healthy gets the edge I guess Altho kev otm about draymonds versatility. I feel like he's learned a ton from Iggy but also just has that aggression to want to guard bigger guys, he owns Blake one on one
