  1. Roach was a dumbass, but athletic as hell. There's no comparison between the 2 as far as who was better at basketball. ...Taylor by leaps and bounds. https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/25764499
  2. Carr gave up the ball late after that steal.
  3. Pretty sure Anthony Black's Mom married or lives with Peavy, Duncanville's head coach.
  4. I wish they would have more playoff games televised than just the State 6A championship game.
  5. Any chance of Richardson Johnson the 3rd being among those 2024 picks ready to commit?
  6. Please let this happen!!!
  7. I get what you're saying because of their shooting ability and lack of upper level athleticism, but Glendon didn't have near the handle that Tre has. Of course a lot of that has to do with the difference in the way the game is played now compared to back then, but I don't remember Alexander being near as smooth or as fluid as Tre. One guy always thought was similar to Glendon back in the day and who ultimately had a better college career was Ryan Mendez. Nobody thought to compare them because of their racial differences but having played against both of them growing up I thought they were similarly skilled players.
  8. This kid just knows how to score.
  9. Tre is a good enough athlete, but he's clearly not overwhelming. He is, however, highly skilled. Easily the most skilled 2 guard Ive seen at his age in a long time.
  10. What exactly, makes his dad insane?
  11. We had 7 total turnovers for the entire game yesterday and like only 3 in the first half. How does that equate into SEVERAL SLOPPY turnovers and a poorly played game. Some people are just determined to see the worst regardless of what actually took place.
  12. We can't get a call for shit. Guys have gotten thrown to the ground numerous times. Pushed in the back on the way to the basket. Legs cut out from underneath, yet absolutely no call.
  13. Exactly. That's a huge difference. Pushing the pace allows for easy baskets. Shaka essentially played with one arm tied behind his back by playing at such a slow pace with the athletes he had here. Despite what everyone said while he was here there was nothing structurally wrong the offensive design, open lane, sets he ran while here. What hurt our consistency is we didn't push the pace or drive to the basket nearly enough so when the offensive and 3pt lulls inevitably came there weren't enough easy baskets to compensate for it. Not to mention easy baskets are good for a shooter's psychology and often helps to limit those lulls. I haven't checked where his Marquette teams rate, but the Shaka Longhorns were also remarkably inept at getting to the FT line which is another thing his teams were hamstrung by here.
  14. What does that have to do with "nobody has oppressed Deion Sanders more than Primetime"?
  15. What does this even mean? What sort of narrative are you building in your mind right now?
  16. No. SL Express is the furthest thing from Tahoe
  17. How the fuck did Rice pass it under the basket when he literally had Bishop right in front of him on the baseline?
  18. What happened with the tribal conflict that existed between white Americans and the Irish, Italians, Eastern Euros, et al? At some point a collective decision was made to grant entrance to all those ethnic white groups into greater white America. For some reason there's been a refusal to do the same for black Americans. Part of it is because of our fictitious adherence to racial categories and visible skin differences. Most black Americans have anywhere from 15% to 60% European ancestry. This tribe you keep referring to is wholly created through the American project. For the most part, as human beings we're dumb in how we ascribe skin color as a function of the majority of genetic differences. Black American have more genetic similarities to white Americans than they do with an African from Zimbabwe, despite the similarities in skin color. The "otherizing" of black Americans in this country in everything from what we learn as school children and the manner in which we learn, to the segregation and exclusion from various aspects of American life goes a long way towards creating what you see as tribal differences. It's a tribe only in the socially constructed American sense of the word, not due to any 1000 year differences that we couldn't possibly overcome.
  19. I'm of two minds with @SL Xpress 's comments above. On one hand, I recognize the dichotomy between say, the MLK approach and the Malcolm X approach, and the apparent effectiveness of the "kids gloves approach" of the former compared to the latter. But then on the other hand I wonder if anything less than a full throated catharsis in approaching these issues will ever resolve the matter fully. For most of my life I've sided with some of the reasoning SLX appeals to above, but to what end? How effective is it really other than just cloaking the ugliness beneath? I don't know, maybe reaching my mid 40s and the past 15 years of American political life has just made me more reluctant to continue soft shooing these issues, but I'm tired of pretending that everything is cool with how things are. And I disagree with the notion that our genetic makeup resulted in the racial dichotomy that we have here today. Any surface level reading of history, be it the era of reconstruction, or even the remedial study of poverty stricken, multiracial neighborhoods of 1960s Chicago will show that there were numerous instances throughout American history where people were able to overcome their "genetic predisposition" for racial conflict and work together for the greater good. The powerful used race as a wedge issue back then just as readily as they use it today. Had they used some other issue to wedge up disagreement among the masses we'd be divided using different categories today rather than race.
  20. The quote without the video alongside it removes the context and obvious levity of the comment.
  21. Just watched some highlights. Haven't seen final scores like that since the late 80s Doug Moe Nuggets.
  22. Yeah the students being down on the lower level opposite the TV cameras was a foregone conclusion before Beard ever arrived. Beard's contribution was marketing the absolute fuck out of it and ingratiating himself with the student body to the extent that it became a thing that students actually want to do and show up for.
  23. He's from Houston and didn't play basketball until his sophomores year. Starting bball your Sophomore year is a little late in the game to be a high major recruit. Plus I doubt he played for an AAU program that led to a lot of eyes on him.
  24. Probably the same thing that makes Josh McDaniels a hot commodity every year he's ever becen an assistant. I mean he took a promising Broncos job and quickly traded away their 2 best players to draft Tim Tebow. Then he backed up that genius decision making to take a Raiders team coming off of a playoff year and promptly started them off 2-7 after trading for one of the best two or three WRs in the game.
