Bill Walton did the same shit. He’s actually 7-2 or 7-3 but he always listed his playing height as 6-11 because he thinks 7 footers are considered freaks. Here’s a picture of him with 7 footer Robert Parish.......
Sure, your point stands, but it stands no where near as tall as you think it does. How many among the Deadspin staff have the stature or power, in the field of journalism, that Lebron James has?

Completely apart from the moral principles of the situation, I really think Silver needs to double down and tell the Chinese to go fuck themselves.

For example, I was once a State Farm customer, because family is important to me and it came through how important family was to the Paul twins (Chris and Cliff). But I switched to Nationwide because I value creativity, and the… Read more
I haven’t followed this particular case really close, but I write about Ca. employment law and it’s very common for the lege to give a bunch of lead time for a bill to take effect — especially ones like this that are sure to cause a shitstorm. Look aty the $15 minimum wage — it was passed in 2016, but doesn’t take full… Read more
