@RobMcLamb RIP. The Hitcher scared the dickens out of me as a kid. I'd rather have been attacked by the clown in Poltergeist than taken a car ride with Rutger Hauer.
Now that Zion Williamson has signed with Jordan Brand, it serves notice once again that branding can overcome even years of grassroots investment. Just think how much *total* value Michael Jordan has provided to Nike.
@ClayDade@Teelittle0608 That camp had tons of talent. I still have a lot of the old head shots and some video from it. I featured Nas in my report for Scout. Congratulations to you guys.
It's nights like this that I miss classic HBO boxing. Everything about this DAZN card is awful. The fights, obviously, but also the production and commentary. There's no tension at all inside MSG.
@ebosshoops Strong words. I know you saw freshman LeBron James, at least in the state playoffs broadcast. Better than that, or are you referring strictly to players you saw in person?
This seems like an opportune time to talk Damian Lillard. My man @ebosshoops and I stumbled onto a random court in April 2007 in Las Vegas and saw him lighting it up in an off-brand game. Wish we'd seen him more.
Quite a day for UNC basketball, getting Cole Anthony and Anthony Harris. One immediate star in the mold of Coby White; one potential multi-year starter in the mold of prior championship players.
BREAKING: Vandy's Jerry Stackhouse plans to hire Nicki Gross, previously only female coach in NBA G League. (First reported by @VandySportscom) https://t.co/meiUidALfo via @tennessean
@WorldWideWob@CompuBox To answer the question, though, the reason is that they are too big. Fights start at the same range as for everyone else, but they can't extend their arms properly. So they overshoot & miss, throw roundhouses to cut the angle or weird cuffing slaps like Shaq against Robertson
@WorldWideWob Does swinging at fans count? Wasn't it Jermaine O'Neal who was preparing to throw a monster punch at a fan in the Detroit brawl, but he slipped? I wonder how that would register.
@RonMFlores I agree, but I mean it in terms of his career arc. There were people who thought Foreman might severely injure a past prime Ali. It was a stunning and shockingly easy win.
Tiger winning today was his Rumble in the Jungle moment, when Ali beat Foreman in Zaire. But Tiger is more than a decade older than Ali was at that time. Incredible.
With a 'B.' I remember when franchises were worth a paltry $100M or so. The NBA has done a great job adapting to the social media era, so this news is not a surprise.
For the first time ever, the average value of an NBA team ($1.9 Billion) is worth more than the average value of an MLB team ($1.7 Billion), according to Forbes.
