    not only that, Curry will turn 34 in two months, That's more than 2 years older than Dame and Dame is over-the-hill according to some posters here

    Way different style of play. Dame takes more pounding on his body. Steph is more finesse and plays a lot better off ball

    Steph hits the deck so often and has missed so many more games than Dame in his career. Come on man, this is just ridiculous. Steph is frail if that's why you're saying he's finesse.

    Wizards announcer makes ghastly reference to Kevin Porter Jr.'s late father on game-winner

    When the Rockets' Kevin Porter Jr., hit a game-winning 3-pointer as the clock ticked down to beat the Wizards on Wednesday night, a Wizards broadcaster made a horrific mistake.

    "You've got to give credit. Kevin Porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time," Glenn Consor said on the Wizards broadcast.

    Before the Rockets guard was born, his father was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of a 14-year-old girl. Porter Sr., claimed the gun accidentally discharged, a witness backed up his statement and he ended up pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter and serving more than four years in prison. In 2004, when Porter Jr., was four years old, his father was shot and killed in a Seattle bar.

    That can't be! I thought he was gonna get us a star that goes next to Dame and save the day!

    His contract sucks. Not surprising teams view him as a negative asset.

    Plus Lillard lays at all out there on the defensive end. Which is taxing on the body

    Voted for Ja and Steph for All-Star this year. First time not voting for Dame since he is hurt this year.

    I read that part. And it STILL doesn't make sense why he said it at all.

    Why? "And Steph Curry, just like his dad Dell, pulled the trigger on that one fast."

    I’m watching this Celtics and Knicks game on TNT. Looks like a packed house and doesn’t look like very many people wearing a mask. The people that are aren’t even wearing them right.

    Have read several reports that Omicron is so contagious, masks do extremely little to slow it down. Thankfully, for the vast majority, the symptoms seem fairly mild. Many people that find out they are positive, are completely asymptomatic and only got a test to to someone else who was positive that was in proximity.

    Maybe this will help the herd immunity because more and more of my friends who have both shots + the booster are testing positive.
