fergie's anthem was better than that kevin hart / rob riggle bit, good lord that shit was bad

oh my fucking god this anthem was hilarious

In the whole history of Star Spangled Banner renditions, this one is nowhere near the worst. First, she remembered all the words and you could understand them. Next, she was within hailing distance of the notes she wanted to hit. Third, you have to realize this song is called the F***ING "Star Spangled Banner" which awful song title is a dead giveaway that it is in impossibly bad song, all on its own, without so much as a speck of assistance from a bad singer required to make it ridiculous.

What's impossible is making this song sound listenable.

star spangled banner is a pretty dope song imo

Next, she was within hailing distance of the notes she wanted to hit.

not so much.

besides, people who forget the words barely scan in "worst anthems of all time". in times of high pressure, words slip out of our mind. it's understandable. with that being said, the amount of energy being expended on it by the internet is extremely weird (if not surprising).

however the worst anthem of all time (excluding Roseanne's), is this one - the only one I've heard that got booed.

i mean she's trying to do too much and she doesn't really have the chops but that's not the worst

star spangled banner is a pretty dope song imo

great read.

"Your pops does not play. He’s the type of dude who walks around with one of those industrial key chains with 100 keys on it. What the hell are all those keys for? You know a man don’t play when he walks around with 100 keys."

Anthony Davis says "it makes you think" when former players say they waited too long to request a trade (via #TheJump).

I honestly just mentally c&p marvin over whoever is singing whenever i arrive early enough to a game to hear the anthem

hoops back in about 24 hrs

it’s basically that he has a house there and la media people are completely bonkers about la being the only actual place that exists

Like basically every vet/max guy has a house there, it’s a whole nba thing man

Also it just obviously dovetails with brons post playing plans to be a media magnate etc but why would he rush to go there and play for a crap team in a tougher conference

this is a bad week for the mavs

haa

bron is smarter than other players because hes fastidiously stuck to playing in the eastern conference

yup

to compare him to the other GOAT, i feel like when MJ's Bulls were going through the EC playoffs the ECFs would often feel like a Finals. Those Knicks and Pacers teams were scary as fuck imo.

i know Bron's teams faced some decent competition along the way once he peaked but i don't recall that same feeling.

pistons were the best east team jordan had to deal with, they were legit, and he got whooped lol

same w bron and the celtics i guess, he cldnt beat them til all their dudes were 35

then he "laid the hammer down"

losing to them in playoffs in 6, then 7 games is getting whooped huh

amazing how they went from World Champs in '90 to elderly pensioners in '91

whooped!

lol

Pop just said he'd be surprised if Kawhi returns this season.

Nooooooooooo

for real.

Here is the Popovich comments on Kawhi. Not ready to say he’s out for the season...just would be surprised. So, there’s that ... pic.twitter.com/C22ntHgbOY

damn

what is going on with that?

not super surprised tbh. it's funny that this is only the second-weirdest phantom injury of the season.

no one knows xp
