match of the year so far, no doubt. for me it wasn’t as much about the level of the tennis as much as it was about the tension. Rafa just doesn’t like this kid and Kyrgios doesn’t give a fuck about who Rafa likes. Read more

Robinson will be an All-Star.  Mark my words. Read more

Knox is still a question mark, but Robinson is looking like an All-Star by 2022. Read more

This reminds me how much I like Mutumbo. Blocked shots are awesome. Blocked jumpers are better because someone thought they had time and space to make a shot only to be wrong.  Read more

The kid’s got everything - agility, smarts, strokes and universal health care. Read more

I am only a casual tennis fan so I cannot speak to his real potential but you have to love a player who cover that much court. Watching a ball that seem just out of reach get returned is one of the more exciting things in the game.  Read more

I do appreciate the consistency here. Under “related stories,” I now have three gifs side-by-side-by-side of Mike Francesa waking up from a nap. There’s something oddly poetic about it.  Read more

In response to the video, the NBA has fined Anthony Davis $50,000.  Read more

Anthony Davis needs to leave this bum and play with excellent players like the guys that back up Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Brandon Ingram. Read more

Also would be nice if he could get his catch and shoot game going from 3.  He likes to catch, head fake and step into awful 2 point shots just inside the 3 point line alot instead of catching and shooting from 3 or grifting 3 free throws. Read more

The mind-boggling part about guys like Wiggins and Tatum trying to emulate Kobe is that they seem to gloss over how lethal of a slasher/cutter/finisher type he was earlier in his career, with Shaq. Sure, Young Kobe still held the ball in his hands often to bring it up the court, but when he was at his athletic peak, Read more

As a Timberwolves fan (I know, please have pity on me) you can call this the Andrew Wiggins offensive strategy. That is, catch the ball, slowly dribble towards a defender, likely back down to 15 feet, do a horrible dream shake impression, turn around for a fadeaway jumper from 18 feet. Read more
