    Who fucking cares?

    Plus, Lonzo Ball won MVP, piss and purple won the championship, Kuzma, or whatever the fuck his name is, won finals MVP. What's there to mention?

    The basketball world can't get enough of Lonzo's balls.

    It's incredible. Only the Lakers can be MORE annoying when they suck.

    No, they have been basically invisible for the past few years.

    They're MORE annoying when they're successful, or when they think they're going to be successful. The reason why these vermin have emerged from the shadows is because they think they're going to be good next season.

    Yes, I understand that, but they still are going to suck regardless of what their fans expectations are this season. So, in essence, to me, they're still really annoying and they still suck.

    If they suck again, trust me, they'll disappear. They're front runners.

    Are there any photos of the Blazer parade in Sports Illustrated from that Summer? My dad always told me he was in Sports Illustrated and you can see him on Bill Walton's car in the parade. Never saw the photo myself. I tried looking thru archive SI's when I was in college but couldn't find anything. Wasn't sure if I was looking at the wrong issue.

    I watch ESPN because they have TV contracts with teams I support. That's it.

    Summer League ROY - Of course, Lonzo Ball
    Summer League DPOY - Lavar Ball, since his Zo2 shoes are the only things that can slow Lonzo Ball
    Summer League COY - Jud Buechler, coach of Lonzo Ball
    Summer League SMOY - Any non-starter privileged enough to share the court with Lonzo Ball
    Summer League MIP - Everyone who got to play alongside and be made better by Lonzo Ball
