    Yuck. I can not be the only person who has always disliked Mark Cuban. There's just something about him that it doesn't surprise me that he'd let this go on.

    That game he ABSOLUTELY schooled The Admiral. I don't even have to click on that link, That pump fake up and under down low might be one of the best moves ever made on the court.

    There is no way prime Nowitski was a better basketball player or more impactful than prime Sabonis. None. Now, if people want to argue who was better during their time in the NBA, then sure. But pay attention to semantics. Best Euro player ever? Sabonis. Best Euro player career in the NBA? Nowitski.

    I agree with you on better, but impactful, that's debatable. Outside of the Olympics, how much impact did Sabonis really have? He was best of the B-league... It's his fault that he was content with short seasons and minimal competition. Meanwhile, Dirk was in the discussion of best in the NBA, which is the ultimate measuring stick globally.

    I watched Sabonis dominate Robinson & Manning during the Olympics.

    Great seats!
    Beach bar in Hawaii on the tube. It was the Olympics that the Blazers got chastised for by helping Sabas rehabilitate his achilles injuries. Even then, he dominated two very good players in David Robinson & Danny Manning. History Lesson dude!

    How much do you want to bet he shows up all of a sudden for the playoffs?

    They honestly have a chance at missing the playoffs, given how hard their remaining schedule is and not having Kawhi.
    They're only 3.5 games ahead of 9th.
    Lets assume the 8th seed goes 45-37. SAS would tie with a 10-13 record the rest of the way. Given their insanely hard SOS, I could definitely see that happening.

    Can't believe Kawhi is out for the year. Man that fucking sucks. He makes the game so much more fun to watch. Even if he does play for a team I despise.

    LMA was jealous of the attention Kawhi was getting so he put some laxative is Kawhi's water bottle...
