I used to write below average pieces about basketball, now I just tweet below average thoughts about it.

One unfair criticism of Luka is that he always looks mad or like he’s about to cry. That’s just how white people look after exercising. Every time I leave the gym, that’s exactly what I look like.
But I guess I do cry a lot in the gym, so maybe that’s why.
Maybe I just operate out of the custom feed options, that seems to be the easiest.
It just feels like every social media platform is pushing nothing but “suggested” content these days from people who are paying money to promote their stuff.
Is there a way on reddits app to customize the feed to only show what subs you’ve joined?
I can’t find any current instructions on how to do this.
Luka being the PPG leader and Trae being the APG leader on the season right now makes me miss the good old days of Mavs vs Hawks twitter.
He has to be a legit two-way player and be on a top-3 team when no other MVP candidate has been held to that standard is weird.
Kendrick Perkins doesn't view Luka Doncic as a real MVP contender
“In order to win the MVP, you got to have the numbers. But you got to be one of these top teams. I just think that the Lakers, they are going to be in the middle of the pack. Luka is going to have the numbers, but they’re not going to be a top three seed in the Western Conference.”

The expectation of Acuff coming in to a place like the Kings, surrounded by vets like Sabonis and Lavine, to turn things around is insane.
What players on that team would we say are winning players? Who in that front office would we say is a winning thought leader?
Darius Acuff is the poster child for empty calories scoring.
He's taking everything I've disliked about guys like Anfernee Simons, Cam Thomas and Keyonte George, but stretching it to its absolute extreme.
Maybe one day he'll be good. Maybe one day he'll find the difference between a good and bad shot.
Maybe one day, far into the future he'll actually guard someone...anyone.
The Sacramento Kings are 0-11 between preseason and regular season. Keagan Murray and Malik Monk are playing the worst basketball of their lives. Domas looks frustrated.
If they replaced Acuff with even a league average PG like Quickley they'd be 2-4 or 3-3. That's how actively bad he's been at controlling tempo, defending and doing virtually anything that contributes to winning other than aura farming for his own stats.
Yes, the league should call. And they should literally rescue his teammates from him.
Build out a team of only offensive rebounders, screeners and defenders. Guys who will catch his grenades, rebound his misses and sing at his alter of self-focussed basketball.
Darius Acuff Jr represents an archetype of everything I despise about AAU basketball, and everything I despise about Vivek Ranadive.
Years from now, they'll make a documentary about what this year was like for his teammates. And then you'll see how many careers had to be ruined for this undersized Iverson wannabe to chase Rookie of the Year.
It's disgusting basketball. And if you're cheering for it, you're insane.
Also… I miiiiiight have to step in to coach a team. I have no idea what I’d be doing, so someone point me in the right direction of resources.
It’s very casual, only one practice a week (an hour long too) and one game a week. What would I need to focus on? Plays? Strategies?
This is very “old man yells at the clouds” of me but I don’t understand why so many NBA players wear sleeved shirts under their jerseys.
And in my son’s rec league, no one tucked in their jerseys.
What happened to the game I loved?
If all the jerseys were generic here, I’d struggle to name many of these players.
