2017 NBA OFFSEASON

it was very clear from those photos of the olympic team where he was clearly taller than boogie

isn't he actually 7ft?

id be surprised if Durant wasn't 7ft, he's huge

imagine how tall he'd be if he didn't hunch

i think if you measured barefoot the only nba players truly over 7ft would be hibbert, embiid, mejri etc - all the stiffs.

zinger, boban

the practice of measuring in shoes is very weird

it makes sense, ppl wear shoes when they play hoops

chris paul is really 5'5" tbf

it makes sense, ppl wear shoes when they play hoops

and yet they can put on different shoes any time they want

maybe it should be illegal to put on different shoes than the ones you were measured in

it cld be possible for basketball to use the conventional definition of height

it's true that the nurse makes me remove my nickelodeon moon shoes every time

all players get the same shoes that give them the same height boost

can u imagine how lit this would be when a player's shoe breaks and there's a flopping goldfish dying out there while steph curry breaks its little fins for a three? that one's on the house.

for ball purposes measuring to top of shoulder and standing reach is probably more useful than height to top of head anyway. some ppl have big heads

good read xp

Z bo arrested in CA Possession of weed w intent to sell

Wow

ah intent to sell the classic you have a bunch of weed charge

weed is legal in ca btw

Intent to sell? Ridiculous! Z-Bo makes tens of millions of dollars annually. he can afford to buy weed in bulk and give it away to his multitudes of close personal friends.

yeah not sure how this one shakes out but he's had issues being a dealer b4 no?

ya iirc he was implicated in a weed dealing case but never charged

how does a dude that rich not have a weed carrier?

money can't fix being dumb

love that beatles b-side

oof

Last season, the Warriors had 17 back-to-backs and one stretch of four games in five nights.

Next season, the Warriors will have 14 back-to-backs and no stretches of four games in five nights (the league eliminated these entirely).

looks like b2bs have been lessened and the no 4 in 5 thing is good.

glad the league is finally taking this seriously, maybe teams will wise up and let their players sleep instead of getting on planes after games

apparently they also kept all the big national games out of the back to back mix in order to give teams less of a reason to rest players

that was the easiest change and i was shocked at the number of big national games that had one team playing in minnesota or salt lake or wherever the day after.

NBA source said today: "This will be LeBron's final season in Cleveland. He is 100 percent leaving. Relationship with owners beyond repair."
