good for jc

lol wth

fire Chris Broussard into the sun

sources confirm chris broussard is even stupider than we thought

this one is 100% on ESPN's people though... broussard's staunch conservatism is no secret to anyone, it's totally insane that they put him on tv to talk about this

he should've been fired three years ago

twitter says kings stay in sacto * shrug*

they loved that team so much they were last in attendance

When they get new ownership the city will buy back in imo

TNT's Inside The NBA crew will also address Jason Collins but that will likely come after the end of the late game.

good on ya collins, broussard will prob get fired right quick

good piece in SI too- i was wondering what was up with him wearing 98 but thought it might be because boston has retired about a third of the available numbers so sometimes short term guys pick a wacky number, turns out it was much cooler

rly tho

Heh when I read the DJ Quik thing I mixed it up w/ MC Ren's Kizz My Black Azz, which feel like may have been too filthy for a place like Target to sell.

Serious <3 to JC. Hopefully he gets picked up as a good benchvet for a good team. Not looking forward to the comment-section-level grossness that will be yelled at him, but honestly think it's the kind of growing pain that goes along w/ stuff like this. For every dumb drunk dude yelling abhorrent stuff at JC, there will hopefully be a ton of other people in that section who'll let the yeller know that it's totally unacceptable. Very happy to see basically 100% support from anyone notable bothering to comment on it.

Ha guess 99% support, hadn't read that Broussard said that / totally forgot that there'll be a few Xian dudes who are gonna be fucks about this.

i look forward to the hopefully inevitable pee wee reese/jackie robinson moment in the face of that shit.

jc story is absolutely amazing. So proud of him and the league and mostly everyone excepting Chris Broussard and his dying ilk.

i must admit i feel like this would be a little cooler w an actual nba player

i think there's a pretty decent shot he catches on somewhere next year if he's healthy

Dunno, think it was really heroic of Broussard to finally come out as a bigot, takes a lot of courage.

It did occur to me, like, what if nobody signs him in the offseason and this just fades away. That'd be a sad reaction.

durant tweeted in support. i personally think it would be pretty lame of lebron not to break his playoff twitter boycott but i'm sure he'll be asked about it

bron usually doesn't shy away from these things

tweeting is the only acceptable form of affirmation imho

right i think he'll say the right things, i was sort of hoping he'd tweet this morning

chi and bkn still look tired from the triple overtime- noah clanged a jumper and four nets watched it bounce right between them to an unmoving boozer

Durant dribbled the ball 377 times in Game 3, about 240 more dribbles than he averaged per game for the season, according to data provided exclusively to Grantland from the SportVU camera system installed in 15 NBA arenas, including in both Houston and Oklahoma City. That number is between 50 and 100 fewer dribbles than the most dribbly point guards — Tony Parker, Westbrook, Mike Conley, Damian Lillard, et al. — averaged in recorded games, but it’s in the same neighborhood as the per-game averages for some point guards who don’t pound the ball quite as much (Kyrie Irving, Ricky Rubio, Ty Lawson, and others), per the SportVU data. Durant touched the ball 111 times in Game 3, almost double his season average, and a number that would've led the entire league, per the camera data.

ha interesting. he was bringing the ball up a lot i noticed

dribble counter

of the clips/grizz, who has the singel best defender they can throw on durant? i dont think allen has the length

barnes can probably bother him a little. but no one can actually stop him once he's got the ball

nate rob for MVP
