    He’s very skilled, and that’s why it pisses fans off that he flops and bases so much of his game around drawing contact to get free throws.

    just play the game

    I agree. If it wasn't for that constant flopping to draw calls, he'd be really great. He does innovate offensively, is tricky to defend af, very crafty and strong. He also does not get injured nor does he complain about being banged up. Very reliable in general. Being lefty also throws people off sometimes. Another thing to give him credit for is that he is a very "clean" guy, a role model; you never hear any horror stories about him - no violence, no gambling, no excessive clubbing or bad stuff whatsoever if I remember correctly. Rarely "beefs" with people... except Giannis. Probably a guy you'd love to have a beer with, LOL. Active in the community as well. It's just that forced non-stop contact drawing.

    Yes they did a study on towns with good strip clubs vs non strip club towns and Harden plays worse in strip club towns.

    Such a good guy. I bet Rob and Pau make it their mission to be around that family often as possible. That must be 3 year old Bianca, as Capri just turned 1 year old June or July I read. Look at her legs! She’s going to be tall too.

    If find these pictures so heartwarming and heartbreaking. There's very little I wouldn't give so that these girls could have their father back in their lives. But it means so much to see Pau being there for them.

    He will be up there. He will be up there and always be up there. One of the greats not only on the court but as a human being. Outstanding human being.

    The closest I got...eye contact for a photo.

    Happy birthday Kob!

    I've given a lot of thought since the bubble started about what Woj said. I think moreso than anyone else, Kobe would've loved playing in the bubble setting. For someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes hoops, this would've been a dream for him.

    This one deserved a separate post

    (Having trouble sharing her IG post, so having to do so via Twitter)



    I wasn't ready for that level of sadness today. That was tough to get through.
