> Being .500 at this point of the season quantifies just how much the Lakers have underperformed to date. Only Joe Biden has failed to meet expectations like this, and the approval ratings for both him and the marquee team in the state that Biden’s party carries every four years (California) are important to those who still believe in either entity. > > “OLD. SLOW. BRICKS. FENSE, as in no ‘D,’” Charles Barkley tells Maxim.com in an exclusive interview. “And ‘ENCH’ as in no bench.” > > “A legit contender? The word ‘legit’ is a game-stopper for me. No, they’re not legit. Not even close,” said Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times, now in his 28th season covering the Lakers. “Even going forward there is nothing that indicates to me that they are a contender, and they have a long way to go to even be in that conversation.” > > Turner pointed out the team’s porous defense, how former superstars (Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook) have not played to their past pedigree, how Davis and Kendrick Nunn (zero games played) have been derailed by injuries, how Trevor Ariza has looked especially old, and how LeBron James, still looking like one of the Top 5 players in the Association, has gotten zero help.
> “If you don’t like Charles Barkley after meeting him,” Green said, “then something’s wrong with you.” > > But this isn’t about Barkley’s overwhelming personality, which led to plenty of career controversy — the “I am not a role model” ad campaign, him making the Dream Team, and then elbowing an Angolan player, the time he threw someone through a window at a Milwaukee bar, the spitting incident as a rookie, which he later said was the only thing he regrets — and later led to roaring post-retirement TV success. > > This is about his often-overshadowed playing career, which was so impactful that he lands at No. 22 on The Athletic’s list of the 75 best players in NBA history, the second-highest player on our list who never won a title. > > “You know a funny story Joe Dumars once told me about Barkley?” Green said, referring to the former Pistons legend, one of Green’s basketball mentors. “Joe D said, ‘I never used to dunk the ball. That wasn’t me. I never used to dunk the ball. But one day, we were playing Barkley.’ I think Barkley was still in Philly. He said, ‘I caught the ball in the paint, went up to dunk it. Barkley came out of nowhere and all I heard was: Give me that shit, Joe! That was my last time trying to dunk in traffic.'”
He literally did all the same things James did but then went the extra fucking mile and tried to meet up with who he thought was a 13 year old girl. I feel like people here just voted James because of the massive hate boner Ethan has for him and it’s just kinda cringe to me. I seriously don’t know how u could argue that James committed more of a crime attempting to solicit arm pit pics from underaged boys as opposed to what EDP did(or would’ve done had he been speaking to an actual 13 y/o and not some decoy)
