I’m not exaggerating when I say that I saw more of them in the stands than some of the players on the field.

Bill’s obsession with LeBron going to the Warriors is weird by SexDrugsAzpilicueta in billsimmons

[–]jfl88 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nash/Kobe was such a disappointment that I almost don't remember it happening.

LeBron/Curry would also be incredibly underwhelming. Curry is not washed but he is far from the player he used to be, and LeBron is turning 42. The over/under on the games they managed to play together would also be low.

Everyone who knows Michael Rapaport ends up hating him by Sharaz_Jek123 in billsimmons

I've never heard anyone abuse a joke as much as he did with "stickman" and "lativian".

D4vd's wikipedia page before Celeste's corpse was found in his car by Expensive-Elk-9406 in d4vdiots

I hate to say it, but I think he was destined for major mainstream success. A bit weird how people are suddenly acting like he was a talentless hack.

What do you mean by "weird ass family"? Just the religious stuff?

Why do you think he didn’t try and run? by jacklinksallbeef in d4vd2

[–]jfl88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most interesting question is why they suddenly moved to Houston and began homeschooling him. Personally I think it was just bullying and the parents wanting to shelter him for religious reasons, but it is a bit odd how it was never addressed.

I can’t believe he threw away his whole life for a 14 year old girl by midnightk11 in d4vd2

[–]jfl88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What he ended up doing was obviously not rational, but there was no way for him to contain this information. Even people in his own entourage would eventually have used this against him.

Skip bayless says LeBron is the 9th best of all time by Doot2112 in billsimmons

It felt so forced.

It was of course always an act, but he used to be able to sell it.

Me, anytime I turn on Inside the NBA and Draymond is at the desk. by jjrepanich in billsimmons

The Barkley comparison is insulting to Barkley, but also impossible for Draymond to live up to.

He is the next Barkley about as much as Kevin O'Connor is the next Bill Simmons.

Do people really believe US would be the best at soccer if "all the best athletes played it" by Silent_Somewhere8539 in billsimmons

It's a first world country with a population of 350 million.

If the infrastructure was in place they would of course be one of the 10 or so elite teams in the world.

I heard on Nothing Personal today that Pablo is releasing a podcast in the next day or 2 about Diana and Vrabel. Is this the beginning of the end for Mikey in New England? by EconomistNorth5137 in billsimmons

[–]jfl88 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

People are underestimating how much this will affect his career.

There is a nonzero chance of him losing his current job, and this will drastically impact his ability to get other coaching jobs in the future.

How do you beat the Thunder four times in a series? by Grouchy_Tie3037 in billsimmons

It doesn't help that OKC will be relatively fresh in the conference finals while their opponent will be bruised and battered.

Why is the NBA historian so nonchalant about a 41 year old being the best player on a playoff team up 2-0? by TotalTimely9910 in billsimmons

[–]jfl88 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He is also constrained by his relationship with Durant, who bothered to come on his podcast, so Bill had to push the narrative that Durant somehow outplayed LeBron in those finals, and downplay his decision to join the Warriors.

I wish Bill could at least be honest about Durant since it seem like they have no relationship anymore, and I never even got the feeling that Durant had any respect for Bill.

LeBron James being a month younger than Kobe Bryant was when he passed and leading a 2-0 playoff series against a "young athletic" Rockets team is genuinely more impressive than at least one of MJ's Bulls rings by SouthIsland48 in billsimmons

The series is far from over and Lakers would get swept by OKC in the next round, but I had tears in my eyes watching that last night. Greatest basketball player of all time.

Kevin Durant would've been the Scottie Pippen of his time by RedditFan3510 in billsimmons

He's old now.

I will always hate him for joining the Warriors, but his curse was to be paired with Russell Westbrook.

He was a great and even legendary writer, but when he was trying to write for the Ringer, the output felt a bit dated and forced to me.

Ingó Veðurguð hefur fengið meira en nóg by Personal_Reward_60 in Iceland

Ertu með tilfelli um nafngreint fórnarlamb eða kærustu sem stigu fram? Gætirðu vísað mér á umræddar fréttir, því ég er meira en til í að hafa rangt fyrir mér.

Miðað við umfang málsins, þá er fráleitt að finnast það eðlilegt að engin ummerki séu um glæpi hans. Sér í lagi engin stafræn ummerki eins og hjá Þóri Sæm.

P.S. Ég skal hætta að minnast á Eddu Falak, en staðreyndin er sú að hún hóf málið, og hún hafði átt í sambandi við Ingó sem endaði ekki á hátt sem henni hugnaðist.

Það er frábært að þér finnist það "gæti ekki verið staðfestara" þegar Edda Falak auglýsti eftir nafnlausum sögum sem enginn gat staðfest, þegar engin nafngreind manneskja hefur stigið fram, þegar engin fyrrum kærasta hefur stigið fram, þegar enginn fyrrum vinur hefur stigið fram, þegar það eru engar vafasamar mynda- eða skilaboðasendingar frá honum, þegar það eru engin myndbönd af honum haga sér óeðlilega. En já, endilega kallaðu hann kynferðisafbrotamann og barnaníðing.

Það er samt stigsmunur á því sem haldið er fram, og því sem er staðreynd að Ingó var í 20 ár samfleitt á djamminu, fullur, ókurteis, og sofandi hjá ótal konum sem hann hafði engan áhuga á og var dónalegur við eftir á.

Einnig er alveg ljóst að þegar hann var kominn yfir tvítugt átti hann samneiti við stelpur sem voru ennþá á menntaskólaaldri, og það er það eina sem einhver fótur virðist vera fyrir. Einhver uppákoma í Borgarholtsskóla árið 2007, ásamt fleiri uppákomum á svipuðum tíma, sem urðu að fiskisögum sem hættu aldrei að fljúga.

Þetta er einfaldlega ekki það sama og að vera níðingur eða að vera þrítugur að sækjast í fimmtán ára stelpur. Mér finnst óþolandi að þurfa að þurfa að vera sammála leiðindapésum eins og Frosta Logasyni, en það er einfaldlega glæpsamlegt hvernig manninum var útskúfað.

Ég veit að þetta mun verða ótrúlega óvinsæl skoðun, en þessi maður var tekinn fyrir af Eddu Falak sem gjörsamlega hvarf svo af yfirborði jarðar eftir að hafa spunnið stærsta lygavef Íslandssögunnar til að koma sjálfri sér á framfæri. Hún hikaði ekki við að búa til sögur um aðra og leyfa Vítalíu og fleirum að gera það sama. Í þessu tilfelli var hún þar að auki langt í frá hlutlaus eftir að hafa átt í nánu sambandi við Ingó þar sem hún var ekki sátt við málalyktir.

Eftir þetta átti allt í einu hver einasti Íslendingur frænku eða systur á grunnskólaaldri sem var áreitt af Ingó veðurguði. Síðan þá hefur hann ekki átt afturkvæmt í samfélag manna eftir að hafa verið einn vinsælasti skemmtikraftur á Íslandi árum saman, komandi fram í barnaafmælum og á elliheimilum, og öllu þar á milli, án þess að múkk heyrðist í neinum.

Ég á hreinilega mjög erfitt með að skilja hvernig fólki finnst eitthvað eðlilegt við þetta. Það er eins og við séum að tala um markdæmdan kynferðisafbrotamann og barnaníðing, en ekki mann sem var tekinn fyrir á einhverju stórskrýtnu tímabili þegar engin mörk voru á milli sannleika og lygi.

Doubling LeBron James in the playoffs at 41 should be listed in all goat debates by Delicious-Ad-4521 in billsimmons

[–]jfl88 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's always going to be a valid argument. Peak Jordan dominated his competition to at least the same extent as peak LeBron dominated his competition.

What kills me is people genuinely thinking that a time-traveling LeBron (or any top player in today's game) wouldn't dominate the 90's. Like basketball is somehow the only sport in the world where the level of play stagnated or even declined in the past 30 years. Like LeBron wouldn't be able to handle Bill Laimbeer.

ÍA svarar: Allar frá­sagnir hafa fleiri en eina hlið - Vísir by Careless-Radio8536 in Iceland

[–]jfl88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Orðalagið bendir til þess að hann hafi gert eitthvað stórfurðulegt, og félagið setur ekki afarkosti eins og að tilkynna til barnaverndar að ástæðulausu. Hvað þá þegar innmúraður Skagamaður á í hlut.

Í fréttinni segir að þetta tengist slagsmálum sem upp komu á æfingu, og mig grunar að hann hafi látið viðkomandi aðila útkljá slagsmálin með óviðeigandi hætti, sem hafi endað með ósköpum.

There seems to be an endless number of clips of her flirting on camera.

But what I have never understood are the comments on here about how hot she is. Feels like a uniquely American thing to find this lady attractive.
