So, we're just gonna act like Hakeem Olajuwon wasn't on the 1996 Olympic team? Or, Patrick Ewing wasn't on the 1992 team? You get one naturalized citizen in FIBA. Serge Ibaka did the same thing with Spain. Hell, even Andray Blatche became a naturalized citizen to play for the Philippines...

So long, Slovenia. Luka will not save you.

It's 11-0 Greece. You can probably go about your day.

Slovenia-Greece just tipped off, FYI. Loser is out of the Olympics.

Totally forgot that Alton's half brother was murdered when he was, like, 13. Out on a bike ride with a friend and Alton randomly stayed back at home. His brother and another friend were abducted and murdered (the crime was much more heinous so I won't list details). They finally found out the...

Could you imagine if someone introduced the Americans with Disabilities Act today? It passed almost unanimously in both chambers and signed into law by Bush in 1990. Today's GOP wouldn't even consider it.

That was France's plan in Tokyo. Just feed Gobert and let him get fouled. Now they have Wemby to knock the ball off the rim as well. This is where the NBA has failed a bit. They should have adopted the FIBA goaltending rules years ago. At least they have Embiid.

I still have lots of friends at my old distributor. The reps and managers get constant e-mails and texts every day about it. Restaurants are limited to one bottle at a time (all SKUs), when it's available. I even see the Still Strength (92 proof) on back bars, which is absurd. Literally nobody...

Didn't realize Slovenia vs. Greece is on Saturday morning (well, West Coast time). Giannis vs. Luka. Losing team doesn't make the Olympics. Semifinal for their bracket. Edit: also, Slovenia has to win by 10+ points due to point differential.

The Storm have been holding it down since the Sonics left. I know they won their first title when the Sonics were still here, but four titles, and having a decent season so far is a good thing for the current momentum of the league and getting people in Seattle interested again. My friends even...

WNBA Finals end in October. It's a no brainer for both. Not saying Angel Reese will be in the playoffs or Finals, but they can keep marketing her through it.

Personally, never been a fan, but you don't turn down marketing opportunities like that. Also, another one I love is Abbott Labs refusing to market Pedialyte for years as a hangover remedy. Basically, a bunch of interns and marketing people convinced the execs to market it as such. Sales grew...

What's funny about Fortaleza, is that I worked for a distributor for six years that carried it. It literally sat on shelves, collecting dust. We also carried Ocho, and some other highly sought after tequilas. I would tell people "buy Fortaleza, it's our best tequila". Nobody would buy it. I no...

Fun facts: 1. Mars turned down M&Ms being featured in E.T., so production went to Hershey, as they had recently introduced Reece's Pieces to the market, and they were, like, "hell yeah, use our product!" It led to a huge increase in sales., and turned it into the brand it became. 2. Skittles...

I'll never forget watching Team USA play an exhibition game in Vegas in 2012 against D.R. before the London Olympics and Calipari was the D.R. coach and was legit wearing baggy stone washed jeans lol. Also, it was Anthony Davis' "pro" debut, so that was kinda cool.

Like I said earlier, Twitter is now mostly right wing propaganda outside of your own feed. You have to ignore it all. The Charlie Kirks of the world always rise to the top. That deformed Predator/Butthead crossover-looking mf'er gets all the attention.

I do wonder what Nate McMillan would look like today. One of the best defensive guards of the '90s, and a runner up for 6MOY one year. He was up and down from 3-point range, but he had seasons in the high 30s - low 40s. He would be an ideal 3-and-D guy today if he just focused on threes. I like...

This is fun: Sonics vs. Bulls in November 1995. Finals preview, Sonics come back from down 18. You just know MJ was fuming over getting stripped by GP to seal the game. Final lines: MJ: 22 points (6/19 FG, 10/11 FT), 5 rebounds GP: 26 points, 11 assists, 1 steal (on MJ) Kemp: 25 and 14...

There's nothing inherently wrong about this. It just comes across as a little uppity and doesn't need to be shared on social media. I've always assumed you should show up at least 15 minutes early for a job interview. Also, you don't know what your interviewer's calendar looks like that day...

Well, he hasn't shown an interest in playing basketball, like, ever, so that tracks.
