    Everyone's going to read that as referring to the Covid vaccines, and maybe there's more to the interview, but it looks to me like he's just talking about vaccines in general. Considering the millions of vaccinated athletes, it wouldn't surprise me if 100-150 had died from adverse reactions.

    They should leave him in. He's 12 points from Bird's franchise record.

    So if someone fouls you in a manner you don’t like, it’s open season on them? What’s “instigating”?

    You could legitimately argue that most charge/block calls are more violent than what happened to Jokic.

    Say Lillard fouls Facu. What’s to stop the Nuggets from saying Facu has a strain for 8 weeks? Or “back pain”?

    His point is still stupid then. It's a fucking stupid take no matter what parameters you put on it.

    I'm not defending it or him. I'm just saying, people should at least critique it in the right context. Bad assumptions are not a sign of intelligence, either.

    There is a difference between a "Bad Assumption" and a "Clear Assumption". In today's context if you are bashing vaccines you are assumed ("Clear Assumption") you are talking about Covid. The unclear or ("Bad Assumption") would be to assume someone is talking about the history of all vaccines. There is no clear message that Stockton was talking about all vaccines in medical history. If he was he's an absolute clown.

    That's not a slump. It's just him making his players look better.

    Or something.

    With regards to athletes dying, I'd say it's a hell of a lot more reasonable to assume he was talking about all vaccines than it is to try and fit the statement to preconceived notions.

    Probably correct on that assumption. Makes him seem like more of a clown. Exactly how many athletes have their been since we started making vaccines? Who makes that kind of statement?

    I'd like Stockton, or anybody for that matter, to name 5 athletes who have died from vaccines let alone 150
