The only reason to read Bill Simmons all year

"In the history of the world, has there ever been someone who looked more like a 1930s Movie 'Bad Guy' than Coach Dunleavy? Do you think when players are cut or released, he tells them it's 'curtains' for them? Are contracts and salary figures discussed in terms of 'loot?' During timeouts, I can't tell if he's drawing up plays or figuring out the getaway route for an armored car job."

One of the best reads of the year, every year. I miss the comments from his dad though. My favorites:

4:39: Blake Griffin goes No. 1, followed by shots of Griffin pretending to be happy and one lone Clippers fan smiling in the crowd. That was funny. That's followed by Stern shaking Griffin's hand the same way a father-in-law shakes a son-in-law's hand right before he marries off his craziest daughter -- as in, "I know you're marrying into my family, but I have to be honest, I feel absolutely terrible about this and part of me wants to tell you to run." That was funnier.

5:49: The Indiana Pacers are on the clock … for going bankrupt. And for making a pick. The pick? Tyler Hansbrough. That launches the N.Y. fans into an "Overrated!" frenzy. Hey, I'm excited for Indiana's 2009-10 local marketing campaign: a photo of Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Jeff Foster, Hansbrough and Travis Diener with the UPS-like slogan, "WHAT CAN WHITE DO FOR YOU?"

6:30: Larry Brown finishes an interview with Scott, then goes upstairs to yell at Jack, Chrissy and Janet. (Waiting.) You're right … too dated. Nobody under 30 got that one. Damn. I'm old.


7:06: After last year's controversial pick of someone rumored to have kidney problems (Darrell Arthur), Memphis grabs a guy who doctors say might need a liver transplant within the next 25 years (DeMarre Carroll). I feel as though Chris Wallace is trying to provoke me.
