not if I meant to say this:

Portland fans are less bandwagony. Then Seattle fans are.

-They have 8 teams of 10 players. 80 total.
-Egos of the best players mean that they can't just select 8 captains, b/c #9, 10, etc. would be pissed off and not play. So they do "dual-captains" for the teams--with the caveat that they can't be current teammates. Therefore, no LBJ/Wade, but Durant/Z-bo, Rose/Amar'e, Dirk/Nash, etc. So there's 16 of the best players already.
-They 8 teams then have a recess-style snake draft where they pick 1-7, then the 8th team picks 8-9, and so on. It goes 8 rounds of 8 players each, for the other 64 players. But you can only draft players that are invited to the draft (kind of like the 1st round green room). So one of the twists was to invite 65 players for the 64 spots, and Kang was betting that Roy would be that guy that got invited but not picked.

BTW, I haven't been supremely impressed with Kang.

Edit: I read (reed, not red) every word that Simmons writes, and many of the Grantland guys that are way more literary than I. I like Grantland a lot, for points and views that I wouldn't have thought of.

Thanks for trying to make me understand.

You failed, but it's my fault. I'm too dumb for all this.

there's insults (your mother wears combat boots), dumb insults (your mom!) and insults that take too much explanation (well see, the thing is, your mom once went to Berkeley, and she was quite promiscuous. I at the same time went to Berkeley, and your mother did not have relations with me. And by relations, I mean we did not engage in consensual sex, or even a handy. That is where she got the derisive nickname of "No Handout Helen", and thus why me calling your girlfriend No Handout Alicia, is in fact an insult to your girlfriend at a degree that should warrant you getting angry.").

This insult is one of those "needs too much explaining to make it worth it's weight".

Now I feel even dumber. I'll stick to playing HORSE.
