You gotta love Bill Simmons' writing. The ending about MJ was hilarious, along with part about Maciej Lampe and his posse.

Great piece. I recommend you read it.

Half way through, so far so good. Some bits are dragging on but he hasn't bothered me yet. Well done Simmons.

The stuff on LeBron is very interesting. I knew he was a cocky little shit :lol:... well by little, I mean big, but still.

I'm not the biggest fan of Simmons but I like articles like this one. The Stephen A. Smith bit was probably my favourite, actually.

I was just going to post this earlier, but didn't have time.

Only Kobe Bryant would use the All-Star Game as an opportunity to start passing more.

Truly a great article. Never knew that Oakley was such a real mobster.

At one point, he was thinking about ordering food, stood up, looked over at all of us eating, noticed Rich's cheeseburger, asked if it was a cheeseburger, asked if it was good, kept glancing at it, kept glancing at it ... and I swear, we were all waiting for Oak to say the words, "Oak wants your cheeseburger, and he wants it now."

Article was good...he really made LeBron look like a dick...basically the negative kinda press that turned kobe into the most hated nba player in history. Not good.

Some of the stuff was funny..but most of it was bullshit rambling.

good read. thanks for the link...

heh lebron's a dick because he didn't play another 10 minutes of a video game with a writer? LOL what about Snoop for not taking a picture with Clemen's kid.

It's funny reading a writer complain about certain nuiscances he runs into/things he has to pay for. Sports journalists/beat writers normally don't paid a lot of money but a lot of the shit they get is comped
