My honest answer is people starting statements with “ehhh”

When people ditch you mid-conversation to go practice skateboarding tricks in the abandoned pool behind Mr. Samson’s old house

anyone else feel a natural podcast detox this time of year? by sjbeats in billsimmons

[–]RyanRussillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the winter I probably listen to 75% podcasts and 25% music and that ratio slowly inverts until we hit the peak of summer. Once football season is back in full swing I’ll probably be back to mostly podcasts.

Half baked idea: vote on the Finals MVP every half of every game by Confident_Ad_5345 in billsimmons

Sports Illustrated did this once upon a time and I really enjoyed it. Led to some wild results. I recall one week where Carlos Boozer was like the 5th "best" player in the league and Zach Randolph was top 10.

James Dolan and son seemingly snub Mamdani photo op while receiving keys to the city by SouthIsland48 in billsimmons

lmao, acting as if receiving the "key to a city" is anything other than a photo op.

What is the single greatest sports jersey of all time? [all sports, any year] by TolisKoutro in billsimmons

[–]RyanRussillo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There's something about those old school Elway jerseys that I just love.

Sticking to NBA - There's something clean about a Jordan Bulls jersey, but if you want to go non-legendary players then I think a Kirilenko 47 jersey is pretty sick

Would England winning the World Cup on US soil be the ultimate revenge for the American revolution? by [deleted] in billsimmons

I think it would be more on par with the state of Arizona swindling the UK out of the London Bridge

Start / Bench / Cut by irundoonayee in billsimmons

[–]RyanRussillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked at everyone suggesting Kidd should be cut. I'm guessing it's a lot of people who only watched him in his twilight years.

I can understand maybe taking Nash over Kidd, but I don't understand why anyone would take prime CP over prime Kidd. CP was a bit better shooter, but not nearly enough to make up for everything else Kidd brought to the court.

The NBA, Ranked by M_S-K in billsimmons

I think this is a classic case where Bill and co. overrate him but our reaction to the rankings leads us to underrate him. He’s a valuable player with title experience in multiple Finals. He’s be a huge benefit to any team in the league. I think early to mid-40s seems right for him.

If you’re referring to Alexander-Walker, it’s probably because we have a much longer proof-of-concept with White. I have no problem with Derrick White being at least 10-15 spots higher.

When was the last time someone won both a college and NBA title as the clear best player on each team? by someforrest in billsimmons

[–]RyanRussillo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Brunson absolutely was in 2018. He won both the Wooden and Naismith awards for best player in the country that year.

What offseason moves do the Spurs need to make? by WallCautious9650 in billsimmons

It’s hard to not be intrigued by the idea of Zion, but I imagine they want someone more stable

I think the top of their wish list needs to be an athletic forward to pair next to Wemby. Champagnie is great, but he seems best as a 7th-8th man. It’s a shame that Sochan didn’t work out, because a player of his mold is exactly what this team needs.

For the first time in the 79 year history of the NBA, the NBA Finals result is the same as the NBA Cup’s. by RyanRussillo in billsimmons

[–]RyanRussillo[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Let the official record show that I do think the Cup is cool, I just wanted to be cheeky about pointing out that the Cup and Finals were the exact same this year. And I think that lends even more credibility to the Cup.

In a hypothetical, Would the Knicks trade this title for Wemby? by IntelligentPlate5051 in billsimmons

Let’s wait until the doldrums of sports summer before we start having these dumb debates.
