We 100% know how difficult it is to get to and then remain in the NBA. What a dumb fucking thing to say.

I love it. Media loves to criticize players and coaches without realizing how hard it is to play this game day in and day out. Why not have them come and play to see what it's like. Then maybe when they want to criticize a player or coach they'll think twice about it.

I played in the surprise pickup game against Celtics coaches. It turned into a nightmare

What was supposed to be a friendly pickup game between the media turned into utter humiliation at the hands of the Celtics coaching staff.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project

If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

Unsurprisingly, they did not care enough to help the family as they tried to save him. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.

My favorite aspect of the Columbus legend is him getting rejected by the Portuguese gets spun as them not recognizing the genius of his idea. No - he went into a roomful of expert navigators and made basic math mistakes, they thought he was a moron, and they wouldn't fund his idea on that basis.
