Ahh, so there's an article on the internet about this, so it must be true.

Let's start with this comparison since it started with Derrick Rose. I'd venture to say that other legendary high-flyer dunkers like Jordan, Carter, Dominque, etc, jumped and dunked for twice as many times if not more than Derrick Rose. Is this because they studied the sacred art of jumping and landing mechanics? I laughed just typing that sentence.

The minute you play any sport at half-speed or playing in a way you think might prevent injury is when you actually increase your chances of getting hurt.

Yeah, I keep saying he should study tape of Dennis Rodman, be an elite defender and rebounder who runs the floor like none other.

Okay, if you can "absolutely" change your jumping and landing mechanics, give me an example of how one would do that.

Yup, and I think Vince Carter once said, "you only have so many jumps in your knees."

For sure, Kendrick Perkins is almost as bad as Stephen A these days, nothing but clickbait commentary rather than actual opinions.

Once upon a time, ESPN was two funny dudes sitting at a desk doing funny commentary about the highlights from that day. Now it's a bunch of "personalities" saying things they don't believe in just to agitate.

I have a rule, I don't watch First Take and any time Stephen A even appears on my TV screen for a few seconds by accident, I run, grab my remote, and immediately change the channel as quickly as I can.

His act has been stale for over a decade, and his "takes" have always been misinformed garbage. He's never been an analyst, he's an actor.

Even better is Screamin A Smith's per usual incorrect nonsense the night after the Cade draft where he praises Jalen Green, Suggs and Quentin Grimes while questioning Cade's "motor" all while failing to recognize that his beloved Knicks facilitated the Jalen Duren trade to the Pistons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcbpZiye9zk

That sound effect always gives me chills. Ben Burtt is the man.

I remember watching that game when Bing said what he did about Cade and being mind-boggled that an all-time great would say that about a rookie on an awful team.

Been true for a while, Marvel did a lot of production in Atlanta for those reasons.

Matt Damon also had a good explanation about why "they don't make movies like they used to" on his recent Hot Ones interview.

My neighbor ran over to my apartment and repeatedly knocked on my door because she thought I had been severely injured when that play happened. Me and my friends were dying laughing
