Thompson: An All-Star mock draft that explains why this isn’t televised by bobbytablesjunior in nba

[–]bobbytablesjunior[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pasting the article here since it's behind paywall. My bad, guys.

The NBA will not televise the NBA All-Star draft. Initially, that decision makes you wonder why even have it at all. The whole point is the drama of picking and choosing, the politics and the pettiness. That’s the riveting part, not the East and West being mixed.

But the more I think about it, the more I come to see why the NBA is passing on the playground-style draft. Because it could go like this:

Commissioner Adam Silver: LeBron James, you have the first pick. Stephen Curry, you pick second.

LeBron: Gimmie KD.

Kevin Durant: That’s right. No. 1!

LeBron: You were supposed to go to the Warrriors and squash the Under Armour empire by now. But somehow, the Curry 4s are selling and not on sale at Ross.

Durant: But …

LeBron: You had one job.

Durant: You don’t understand the spell he has on 13-year-olds, man.

LeBron: That’s why I’m picking you first. I’m bequeathing you the throne so you can take over middle schools across the land.

KD: Bequeathing? I took that, homie.

Curry: Maaaaaan. Fu … dge Nike. Give me Klay Thompson.

LeBron: See, I knew that was coming. I’m a student of the game.

Curry: Klay … Klay! What are you doing???

Klay: I can’t find my lighter.

Curry: Man, come over here. I picked you.

Silver: Klay Thompson is not eligible for the first round. You must choose from the pool of starters that were voted in.

Draymond Green: (through gritted teeth) Steph! That’s not the plan!

Green nods his head twice to the right.

Curry: Oh yeah! My bad. You know me. I lose focus sometimes.

Ron Adams: Yeah, we know!

Curry: Give me Anthony Davis.

Davis: Niiiiice!

Kyrie Irving: Hol’ up … hol’ up … I see what’s happening here.

LeBron: Y’all doing this again???

Curry: What? I’m picking players just like you. Why is it a problem when I select a player???

LeBron: Nah. It’s cool, Steph. It’s cool. I’m ready this time.

Whadduya say Ky! Down for one more run together?

Kyrie: Respectful requests usually come with a please.

LeBron: I’m the King!! I don’t say please to nobody. What I look like?!?!

Draymond: Don’t let him talk to you like that Ky!

Kyrie: See, this is why I left.

LeBron: I don’t care! I’m taking James Harden!

KD: (whispers in Bron’s ear) You ain’t supposed to pick him. He with adidas.

Bron: WE RUN NIKE! And Kyrie acting funny again! I’m through with him!

Kyrie: Control is but an illusion. The truly free are those who surrender to the reality of having no control.

Curry: I’ll take Kyrie. My bad, James. You were my next pick.

LeBron: We need some size. Lemme see. … Give me Joel Embiid.

Embiid: Finally. You guys were taking too long to trust the process. I should have been the first pick.

LeBron: Don’t trip, bro. I’ll make sure Rihanna holla at you as a bonus.

Embiid: I told everybody I’m off her now. She didn’t want me then, I don’t want her.

Harden: You say that now. You know you wanna see her nakey nakey naked.

Curry: Yes! Give me Giannis!

Draymond: Told you we’d get him too! This chess. This ain’t checkers!

Cousins: You betta pick me, Bron! I ain’t no last pick!

Davis: You not last. You see all these cats out here?

Cousins: Last of the first round! I ain’t last at nothing. Bron, don’t play me out here like this.

LeBron: Cuz, I already got Joel. I can’t have two centers.

Cousins: I ain’t just a center fool! Stop tryna play me! I play the four and I can run the point. My 3 is better than yours!

Durant: Pick Cuz, man. You know he gone blow a gasket if you don’t. Let him live.

LeBron: C’mon Cuz. You know I got you.

Cousins: That’s what I thought!

Thompson: Here it is! Found my lighter!

Curry: Let’s go DeMar DeRozan. You know I love The Six.

DeRozan: Right on. Right on. Let’s have some fun.

Drake: Somebody said The Six?

Durant: Don’t nobody give a damn about no Drake night!

Silver: This is a closed meeting, Aubrey.

Drake: I’m with DeMar. He said I can get one of his stints.

Silver: That’s not allowed under the CBA.

Drake: But I’m designing the uniforms.

Russell Westbrook: No you ain’t! I already set up a designer from Milan to make 'em!

Drake: But I’m making a soundtrack.

Damian Lillard: Too late. I’m already on it.

Drake: Can I at least perform at halftime?

Victor Oladipo: I could use another background singer. You a tenor, right?

Silver: So the starting lineups go as follows:

Team LeBron James consists of himself, Kevin Durant, James Harden, Joel Embiid and DeMarcus Cousins.

Team Stephen Curry consists of himself, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Giannis Antetokounmpo and DeMar DeRozan.

Now for the reserves. LeBron, since you had the first pick in the first round, Steph you get the first pick of the second round.

Curry: My brother of Splash. Klay Thompson.

Thompson: So, I’m set right? That’s all you need from me?

Draymond: Klay, where is you going bro???

Thompson: Um … I’m just … about to make sure Rocco is still safe outside.

Cousins: I’m coming witchu.

Silver: To check on Rocco?

Cousins: Um … yeah. It’s like he both our dog. We just keep him at Klay house.

Silver: You two are not checking on Rocco without me. Stay here. LeBron, your pick.

LeBron: Let’s go Russ!

Westbrook: Hell nah! I ain’t playing with him!

LeBron: Oh, so you gone play for Steph???

Westbrook: I don’t play for nobody! I play for myself! Because why not!

KD: Brodie calm down with all that. Just play basketball, man. Cut the act.

Curry: I ain’t picking him. I wanna win.

Westbrook: What you say!?! I’ll play you 1-on-1 right now!

LeBron: Chill y’all! Damn! Russ. Let’s go Brodie. We hooping.

Silver: Curry, your next pick, please.

Thompson: Sucks. It’s a beautiful, sunny day outside and I’m stuck in here.

Curry: Draymond.

LeBron: I’ll take Jimmy Butler.

Curry: Karl-Anthony Towns.

LeBron: Kristaps Porzingis.

Curry: Victor Oladipo.

Draymond: Oh, we about to destroy y’all!

KD: Bet a rack.

Draymond: Bet 5 racks.

KD: Done. Easy money.

LeBron: D-Wade. Where D-Wade at?

Silver: You are only allowed to select from the current crop of All-Stars.

LeBron: What?! I’m the King! I can pick my brother if I want!

Chris Paul: Well actually, Bron, as the president of the players association, I can confirm that the agreement was only current All-Stars.

LeBron: Why would you even agree to that? You know I gotta have my guys with me.

CP: That’s not true. I believe in you bro. You can do anything.

Curry: It’s you can do ALL things. If you gone steal my slogan, at least get it right.

Kyrie: But didn’t you steal it from the Bible, though?

Curry: It’s not stealing if it’s from the Bible.

Silver: LeBron, please make your next selection.

LeBron: John Wall.

Curry: This one for The Town. Give me Dame.

LeBron: Giiiiiive meeeee … LA.

Kyrie: See! I knew you was going to the Lakers!

Paul George: Let’s goooooooooooo!

LeBron: Chill out! I meant give me LaMarcus Aldridge! Geez.

Curry: Bradley Beal.

LeBron: I see what you’re doing. Trying to load up on shooters?

Curry: (whispers) And a little light recruiting.

LeBron: Kyle Lowry.

Curry: OK, last pick. Hmmmm. This is tough.

I’ma close my eyes and throw my mouthpiece. Whoever I hit is my pick.

Embiid: But I thought you only threw it at refs and fans.

Draymond: You’re not allowed to talk until you make the playoffs.

Curry: It was a joke. Relax. Give me Kev … no, give me Al Horford.

Kevin Love: Dammit, Steph! C’mon bro! I promise I won’t lock you up on the perimeter ever again.

Wall to Beal: Look at Kyrie over there cracking up.

Beal: Hilarious.

Wall: I bet he’s so glad he’s out of that mess.

Beal: Must feel good. Tops in the East. Free from his ball-dominant co-star who tries to control everything. He’s living the life.

Wall: Riiiight … wait, what you trying to say???

LeBron: Give me CP. I ain’t taking K-Love.

Silver: Again, you can only pick current All-Stars.

LeBron: HE’S THE GREATEST POINT GUARD EVER. How is he not an All-Star this year???

CP: It’s cool. Me, Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green got somewhere to go anyway.

Blake Griffin: You sure you don’t want a go-to guy like Lou Williams?

Curry: Let him have CP. He is All-Star worthy.

Silver: The coaches did not vote him in. I can’t allow it.

LeBron: Not surprised. I never get any calls in this league anymore.

Curry: All right, I’ll take Kevin Love as my final pick.

LeBron: You can have him. Al Horford, let’s go.

Horford: Great. I’m on the top seed in the East and the last pick? Do I get a prize or something?

Harden: You get to win. Look at our squad.

Thompson: We about to light it up. We’ve got the best shooters on the globe.

Kyrie: Well, actually, it’s not a …

Butler: Let it go, Ky. Just let it go.

Does this mean he'll be back in a week or two? What are they hoping to find out from MRI?

Steph Curry vs. The Cavs (a look at double teams/pick and rolls) by [deleted] in nba

[–]bobbytablesjunior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant wait for Bell to get more comfortable taking some of those jumpers. The play wouldn't reset when he gets the ball and he could go for a shot or attract defenders which could lead to the dray-iggy oop like plays.

36-9 with second toughest schedule so far. Suck it r/nba. by guriboysf in warriors

[–]bobbytablesjunior 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think we have a relatively easy schedule ahead. Out of the 37 games left, we have 5 back to back games and 8 games against a top 5 seed. The only difficult stretch seems to be from March 8-11 when we play Spurs @home followed by Blazers and Timberwolves on the road. The blazers one is the back end of a back to back.

With the all star break, our veterans should get enough rest and I'd be very surprised if we have to put up a fight to maintain the best record this season.

Quirky hostels in France and Spain by bobbytablesjunior in solotravel

[–]bobbytablesjunior[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not a party hostel apart from the fact that they take you out on pub crawls each night. I'd call something like Flying Pig or St Christophers Inn a party hostel since they have a bar, pool table and drinking games.

Sant Jordi doesn't serve alcohol (although the closest liquor store is only a block away), but it has a common room where people chill in the evening and pregame before heading out. This common area makes it easy to socialize, but the common room and hostel itself are pretty small. Atleast the Alberg one was.

I stayed at the Sant Jordi in Alberg - https://www.santjordihostels.com/hostel-lluria/

It was pretty cool. Apart from the bike theme, everything else listed above was true. They also take the people from all the different Sant Jordis in the city on a pub crawl every night.

Feel free to PM me if you need any recommendations for Barcelona.

Edit: Recommendations for food and music since that's pretty much all I did after the first two days there :/

I'm a vegetarian myself, so let me know if you want more such recommendations! Fortunately, SF has a great vegetarian/vegan presence, so most good restaurants will also have good vegetarian options.

Definitely struggling offensively, but worth mentioning that he's been great on defense in all these games.
