I look at it different in the basketball realm. Steph is who first think of as a natural comparison and it makes sense. Both are having revolutionary impacts, but Clark is different in that she’s physically able to do what most women can’t (at this time). The guys could physically do it, but it was just a taboo way of playing. Now it’s all you see.
Hill said race (duh) and her sexuality (probably to a lesser degree) played a role in her rise to fame. That is not exactly breaking news or a scorching take. She didn't say she was a bum on the court.
This is on par with someone saying Sydney Sweeny's hotness played a role in her rising to stardom and the faux outrage crowd saying, "Hater. She is only popular because she is a gifted actor!"
While Hill may peddle in the race-baiting game a little much for me, this is pretty tame.
I never pay attention to gas prices as it doesn't impact my life in any way. Meaning, I'm going to drive to and from my job, gym, etc. But I did read last week that prices should start to ease their way down through the 4th.
The LeBron circus was in full force the last week. From him being court side at a Cavs’ game, showing up in person at the combine, then a video crew with boom mics focused on LeBron as he coaches Bryce’s team. Dude loves the limelight. Not sure about his kids, but he is eating it up. Can’t wait until the Lakers hire his podcast partner.
I believe this posturing of teams expressing interest in Bronny is doing so with the hope of spooking the Lakers into making a haphazard trade-up higher in the second round.
They have picks #17 and #55. The Pelicans can take their #17 pick; but, in a terrible draft, I am not sure they go that route. If I were a Lakers season ticket holder and they took Bronny at #17, I would sell my season tickets.
The smart play would be not to draft the kid and sign him to a free-agent G-League / two-way contract.
