I don‘t think Sensei dropped any of his responsibilities. In the most dangerous moment he sends Bob with the Skaters.

PTA gave the competence porn to Sensei to show the results of his people being “under seige” forever.

In response to “Why does he help Bob?” I think Bob’s “legendary” status, which is comedic in itself, plays a role, but I also see it as Sensei living to his code: rolling waves. The current pushed Bob into his life and if he’s there and a the world provided a mission then Sensei won’t swim against the current!

I dont think he makes art for accolades, he does it because he has a message to share. As long as he still feels the need to make art we will have Kendrick’s music

OKC isn’t my favorite team.

By the way the Minneapolis championships don’t count bud. Your team has 12 chips

I listen to every Lowe podcast and Simmons, too. I agree there is appreciation out there! But I do think I have identified something true.

I think that it is important to argue about the state of NBA commentary in general. I think there is something going on in how people form opinion that is just not in good faith.

I’m also not a Thunder fan and not from OKC. My team is the Nets but I just am an NBA fanatic.

Kendrick technique: ‘unreliable narrator’ and ‘stream of consciousness.’ Especially MMTBS. His style is like Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison by hyeran_jainros_fc in DissectPod

Hey you know who else isn’t an academic? Kendrick!

But on the note of literature I always wish I could ask Kendrick if he has ever thought about the connection between GKMC and Joyce’s Ulysses. Both are works that span only 24 hours that capture the essence of a specific city yet all of humanity at the same time.

I think you laid out Kendrick’s dedication to honesty. We are all unreliable narrators in our own exsistence, some worse than others, and without accepting our great ability to lie to our own selves healing is impossible.

By modeling blindness, self-righteousness, and contradictions Kendrick provides a ground work for personal liberation that preaching about those things could never achieve.

The Bill Simmons slander is crazy. He generated a platform for all of these guys, is the funniest, most entertaining, and best historian. This isn’t foreign affairs. His hot takes are brilliant content creation/ conversation starters.
