3 criminals, 1 shitty influencer manosphere asshole… and a woman. Yeah. Sounds about right.
EXCLUSIVE: Vice TV has greenlit the documentary series "Everybody Hates," with each episode profiling the public's response to a different athlete.
The premiere episode will focus on Jake Paul. Later episodes will take on NFL stars like Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick, as well as WNBA star Caitlin Clark, international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Shaq used to be my favorite player, and the reason I started watching basketball. His post basketball media career has turned me off from being a fan. 7’1 sexual sociopath with a fragile ego.
Shaquille O’Neal reveals choking out his teammate Goran Dragic in the locker room until he hit the floor for talking trash… Matt Barnes walked out like he never saw a thing
Shaq: “One thing I like about him (Matt)— if you do something in front of him, he ain’t gonna say nothing.”
“So one day we in the locker room. Goran kept talking. I’m like, ‘Yo man, shut up, he just keep talking.”
“I get behind him, put him in one of them UFC things… he falls to the ground.” 😴
“It’s me and Matt in there. Matt take his Gatorade and walk out.”
Matt: “They ask what happened. I said, ‘I didn’t see nothing that’s it, bro.”
Shaq: “That’s why I loved him as a teammate, I could trust him. I knew he wouldn’t say anything.”
This was when they’re were on the Phoenix Suns.
Still very critical of Bush… but my god the absolute aura you need to throw a pitch from the mound, down the middle, in NY with a FDNY jacket and no security around you after the worst terrorist attack on US soil is astronomical

In America “Labor Day” means everyone with a fake email job gets the day off and actual laborers have to work twice as hard to keep up with the extra demand created

it is a very big deal that the NBA investigated and punished their richest owner because of a scandal uncovered by an investigative journalist. pablo torre is doing incredible work. journalism is so important!!!
Love when my agent shows up on podcasts dressed like a post dinner rush screaming match fight with Carmy in The Bear
Jonathan Kuminga's agent, Aaron Turner, explains why he didn't sign a 3-year, $75M extension with the Warriors:
"Money coming before basketball is not how you continue to make more and more money. ... Next year is a way better free agency year for him...teams that have been trying to sign-and-trade for him, like Sacramento and Chicago, will have a lot of money."

so many of these people are so fucking perfomative and fake, and are actually aiding in the hurt that palestinians are already dealing with by making this very serious topic a competition & for useless cancel culture parades
Hot take maybe: if you win an MVP, you should be in the hall of fame.

He has the right idea. This type of thing should be incentivized to keep stars there long term. Players should get to reap what they’ve sown. Steph absolutely should get a stake in the Warriors with all the money he’s made them.
Which is exactly why it won’t happen. the moment the league puts an “X amount of years earns you a stake in the team”, you’ll see that player traded the moment that timeline becomes close.
Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises
“Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong”
“I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it”
“I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”
The Bam Adebayo conversation really goes to show you who watches games, and who doesn’t.
The guy who can guard 1-5 and was the defensive anchor for 2 Finals teams is overpaid? Overrated?
Yall are just looking at box scores.
I had to revisit this because this is so bad and corny. Josh Hart is by no means a Hooper. Specifically what we consider to be a Hooper in the NBA context. No bag. Not a shot creator. Not a Hooper. He's not a crazy knockdown shooter either.
So one would ask "why is he still in the league?" And it's because the white nerdy unathletic guys have figured that the team is better when he is on the court. He provides so much more than the traditional box score would lead to believe. This is why we should not only continue to have him on the court, but maybe shift our lineup philosophy around to feature a guy who is 6 foot five at the power forward. Analytics love, Josh Hart. And in the era that he and some of the other others are champion, they would throw him away.
I hate people who are anti-math and science, but then use math and science in their everyday lives without acknowledging math and science. Maybe I need to listen to the full episode, which I will, to get the full context, but this was a great opportunity for them to have a full and nuance conversation that seemingly is wasted because agendas need to be pushed
