Everyone on here likes the drama of the NBA but I am really fascinated with the business side of things. Zion's hype was so wild that he signed one of the biggest shoe contracts that puts him in the top 5 salaries for athletes among ALL brands.
Also he was given a signature shoe from Jordan which is really rare. Jayson Tatum is just teasing his after all this time. I just wish the sales figures were available for the shoe and I would be interested if this impacts future shoe deals with other players going forward. Pretty wild.
Question: Do you ever use ideas that fans send in to you in regards to the WOT storyline? Even little ones?
RJ:
>No. Not even the little ones. It's my story, guys. If you have ideas, write your own stories.
Question: How do you feel about WoT-oriented fan fiction?
RJ:
>I am really only barely aware that it exists, I'm afraid, and the question is a delicate one. I don't go looking for it, but if I find out that someone is writing using my characters, and publishing it (including posting it on-line) then I MUST do something about it as a matter of protecting my copyrights. (Although this is a different matter, some other time, I'll go into why pirating books and stories to post them on-line is no different from taking somebody's ATM card and making a series of withdrawals from their bank account. Whenever I see anyone post a defense of pirating, I really, really want to get my hands on his ATM card and PIN.) Writing in my world is a different matter I think; my lawyer may tell me I'm dead wrong on that. The one thing I do try to keep an eye out for is /slash/ or KS fiction using my characters. If you want to write erotica, fine. I like reading erotica, sometimes. But if you write erotica using my characters and post it, I WILL find you, and I will come down on you like the Hammer of God. I've found some very raunchy, and very badly written, examples of that, and I don't like it a bit.

I find it kind of hard to believe that if he becomes superboy that no one will recognize him. Even if he starts wearing glasses people in smallville know wt he looks like. But if he gets a suit that would be cool and probably next season.
We finally did it. Deandre Jordan was finally benched so fast that we barely could finish our first beer. DAJ was similarly pathetic as he has been the last few years where he cannot catch passes, cannot catch decent lobs, and he has no idea how to defend pick and rolls. He also lacks all hustle and intangibles.

I was sweating this game out when DAJ was announced the starter again. I was also sweating the third quarter because I thought Vogel would just start DAJ again. It looks like Vogel had a coming to Jesus moment and figured out Dwight Howard should be the starter, and DAJ is a huge negative.
Let's go play-by-play with DAJ in Q1:
- Off to a bad start with losing the tip-off
- Holmes with a nice floater from P&R. No idea what this defense was with AD and DAJ in the paint. Seemed like DAJ could've stuck with Holmes, while AD could help defend the rim.
- Man this isn't Westbrook's fault. Westbrook throws a nice pass to DAJ that he should catch. Use two hands bro!
- Man look at Holmes sagging off DAJ. DAJ has to move around and set screens. AD forces up a jumpshot due to lack of spacing.
- No communication between THT and DAJ. Center usually is the one that has to call-out switches. [Easy pull-up for Halliburton. Terrible effort by DAJ and THT to scream out switch.](https://www.nba.com/stats/events/?GameEv
In this video, Kyle says he and Krystal are working to get Jordan Peterson on KK&F. What do you guys think of this? Personally, I am really looking forward to it, but I hope Krystal and Kyle really press him on a lot of his conservative views. Do you guys think they will?
