dang, i didn't realize he had like david robinson muscles and zero body fat. looks like he could snap kareem in half in that picture.

ripped af

he would never re-sign there

Yeah but it would be so perfect :( they could trade Mudiay Nurkic and Faried without missing a beat.

Miles Plumlee 4/52 to stay in Mil. Seems pretty pricey for a guy they play only 15 mins a game. altho might work out since they will probably move monroe at some point soon

def overpay imo considering there are literally infinite plumless

NBA executive: Blake Griffin’s leg injury still ‘pretty serious’ concern http://nba.nbcsports.com/2016/07/18/nba-executive-blake-griffins-leg-injury-still-pretty-serious-concern

While the Warriors upgrading from Harrison Barnes to Kevin Durant has generated attention for other reasons, it has another benefit that could fundamentally change the team and possibly the league as a whole. The Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, Durant and Green lineup (nickname pending) is one of the first in NBA history where all five players can successfully grab and go. Sounds fun on paper, but it could become truly revolutionary if the coaching staff and players adjust to what it means.

uhhh why r u doing this

Kevin Durant was close to saying ‘let’s go’ to Tom Brady and the #Celtics

the danny ainge way is to use media to make it sound like lots of big things Almost happened to appease the fans while he quietly makes his smallball value moves

except in this case it was durant who said it

lol don't do this to yourselves

theres no way to stop it

TJARKS: I love watching Steph shoot as much as the next person, but the point guard position has become a bit overrated in the modern NBA. Teams don't win titles with point guards as their best player often. I'd rather have George and an average point guard than Steph and an average small forward.

Ivan Rabb made the list somehow. Dude is still in college!

lol its good

ppl can get really overthinky abt stuff like which nba position is the most important and overlook things like which player is better

putting a 21 y/o player in the top ten tho

freedarko still dumber than dirt https://medium.com/@freedarko/my-apology-for-last-nights-tweet-c4e7603dad06#.aqc4jc5k9

did we ever horrifically own him i think that was the plan for awhile

he self owned lol

i am slowly owning everybody simply by giving them time to own themselves

best plan, death is the ultimate own

clay i messaged u some info on twitter

remember when he got mad because simmons wouldn't put him in a links article

i missed the tweets last night & then someone sent me that apology and i almost fell off my couch

i had to read the opening sentence like 3 times

remember when he sarcastically RTed me saying freedarko was the worst writing ever off a name search lol

anyway someone (not an ilxor) has messaged me to say he is nice just a lil sad and crazy and now i feel bad for vaguely antagonizing him a few times

ugh i didn't even read that medium thing until now and hadn't got wind of any of this, jesus that is v bad

the implied defensive meltdown is the most brutal part

weve read this blog before

being low-level internet famous is a pretty sick fate

ha srsly just ruins yr mentions

So you’ve been the Nuggets trainer for 20 years. You’ve trained some big boys–Kenyon Martin, Andre Iguodala, Kenneth Faried come to mind. Who is pound for pound the strongest player you’ve been exposed to?

Earl Boykins.

If you’re talking about pure strength pound for pound, not even close. He bench pressed 315 pounds and the dude weighed 150. Dude was a genetic freak.

Boykins height and weight is officially listed at 5’5”, 133 lbs.

What kind of guy is J.R. Smith? He seems like a dude who shows up to the area five minutes before game time, downs a Whopper in the parking lot, and just shoots.

Firstly, if I had the athleticism and the skills of JR, I would also just show up to a game and shoot. The thing about JR is that he’s a fierce competitor. People will say he’s not a competitor, but he’s a warrior. I’m so incredibly proud of him for winning a championship.

We had a rotation we were doing, and with the single leg press, this is the honest to God truth, he’s doing a single leg press with six 45’s on each side (585 pounds). Mind you, this is coming back from a meniscus tear and it was like 3 weeks post surgery. Now I didn’t load the weights and if I did I’d be fired so quickly. So I go up to him and I’m like ‘JR, dude what the hell are you doing?’ and he looked at me casually and said ‘I just wanted to see how strong my leg was.’

So I go ‘let me see you jump,’ and he takes off, and I’m like ‘really dude? It’s like, 40+ inches. 21 days post-surgery. Just a genetic freak. Supremely gifted.
