11 years ago today, never forget!
In other news, the Lakers scored 74 points and won, LMAO
this could have been written like seven years ago.It’s the mental burden that saps you. You start missing your freedom. You have to eat a certain way, sleep a certain way, prepare a certain way. You learn to dread those mornings after back-to-backs. You hate those early wakeup calls, hate being at the gym for hours by yourself, hate working on things that you already learned a million years ago. You already peaked, and you know it, so it’s all about killing yourself so you can be 70 percent as good as you once were. You have young dudes coming at you left and right, always looking to prove themselves, doing anything possible to put themselves on the map against you. Shit, you could see it with Blake Griffin in Round 1. He didn’t just want to win, he wanted to take it to Duncan. Again and again and again.
hahah. lol at him projecting his feelings on duncan.

he thinks sports is a soap opera. i can imagine duncan reading this: "hagay"
this is a simmons nerd-sperg response. "like seven" does not refer to actual years. cool, you know nba history.7 years ago? Coming off their 2007 Shampship? Nah b. Maybe 4 years ago after the Mavericks beat them, or 3 years ago when the Thudner beat them. Or last year when they lost to the Heat, but people did write that stuff then. Now he's 39, how many bigs make it that long?

which begs the question: how do each of those events mirror brad pitt's career arc?
I'd ask in the reading thread but I want people to actually see this question.
Favorite basketball books? College or NBA, doesn't matter.

I'm a huge baseball fan and I hated that movie. In fact, I don't know any baseball fans who do like it. Classic Simmons is a d-bag article. Starts comparing a retiring athlete to his dad retiring from being a school worker? Who the fuck cares?all i meant by it was people have been calling them/him dead for years.
So … should Duncan retire? If it feels like a sports movie moment, that’s because it’s basically the plot in For Love of the Game, everyone’s favorite baseball movie that’s locked in the basement of a reprehensible romance drama.
this fucking ARTICLE is a reprehensible romance drama about tim duncan and basketball. just like the scene he mentions in the movie. oh the irony.
oh tim, just leave her without saying goodbye. it's too hard!

Most Washington sports night ever
The Wizards - Hawks game was unspectacular for the most part, but it redeemed itself in the final seconds again.
