    The only thing I think he did that was wrong was AFTER the game when he claimed to be the "King of NY".

    It kinda seems like when he pronounces it in his native language, no one can understand what he's saying, so he slows it down and enunciates more clearly for those of us who's ears aren't attuned to hearing it.

    Can somebody explain what this means?
    Didn't mean to highlight Big Country. What does a BPM measure?

    If you were really born here why won't you release your birth certificate.

    And your SS#.

    And a Visa number, don't forget the little code on the back of the card.

    BPM is a box score estimate of the points per 100 possessions a player contributed above a league-average player, translated to an average team. Basically it's saying that a league average player in Wiggins' place would make the TWolves about 2 points per game better than they are.

    The tweet is basically saying that in the past 45 years, no player who hurts his team's performance like Wiggins does has been given so large a role on his team.

    Or simply, Wiggins is SUPER overrated.

    But we should trade C.J. for him because Wiggins is taller.

    30 different covers were released, a different one for each NBA city.

    It's Boobs Per Minute. It's an advanced statistical measure of how often an NBA player looks over at the cheerleaders...

    Always said this. Awful defender, can't play off the ball, doesn't pass, doesn't rebound, loves mid-range jumpshots and is an inefficient volume scorer.

    Anybody watching the Cleveland charolette game?

    MCW was on the sideline and he was screaming at lebron. It looked like he said.

    “Yeah talk that shit now”

    Nevermind.
