Bill Simmons gives Roy mega-props

[cloudydays]

8:03: LeBron spins into the lane for a pretty jump hook. Clips by 9. He's officially in "There's No Way I'm Losing This Game" Mode. (Only five current players have this gear: LeBron, Kobe, Wade, Pierce and Brandon Roy. That's the list.) On the other end, he blocks Thornton's shot and grabs the rebound on Randolph's miss. He's all over the place.


I like Simmons, even with his stance on Durant-Oden.

Fuck Bill Sommons. He's trash.

He really does have a Durant crush, though.

Your avatar reminds me of a question I have: when did the memo go stating that, from this day forth, every single woman photographed wearing a bikini has to pose like she's just about to remove the briefs? I mean, every single one. What's next - they have to carry a sign that says "I personally want you - yes, you, the pimply-faced dork who buys this stuff, whom no actual woman would look at twice, to fuck me repeatedly. I honestly do"? It's the logical progression.

I honestly don't know. I've thought about that before too.

I didn't want to know what you think about when you're pleasuring yourself.

Nice acknowledgment by Simmons. But I also noticed that out of his list of 5, he recognizes every player by one name . . . except Brandon Roy.

I understand if the national fans don't right away know who "Brandon " is refering to (just a matter of time), but I think it is safe enough to refer to him as "Roy" and fans will know who that is.

Yeah but he's writing for a national publication and BRoy doesn't have the name recognition... but I'm looking forward to the time every casual fan knows exactly who he is.

Did you read John Hollinger's article about the "Magnificent Seven"? I was thinking, "Yeah, there's already a song for that, and it's The Clash, and they're cool like Brandon, and that rocks!" Then I realized there were only a handful of us here that were around when The Clash was cool.

Clash is always cool.

I noticed that as well, but then again, Roy's the only one of the five in his 3rd year in the NBA, and he hasn't won a title or been picked #1 overall.

The Clash rocked, and B.A.D. wasn't half bad either.
