Warriors vs. Grizz: Sharing is caring, Steph Curry’s Rookie Blog, and a not-so-Sterling reputation.
While the Warriors were getting their first win of the season, I was cruising at 31,000 feet getting my Sudoko on in the back of Spirit, Southwest’s in-flight Magazine. When I got off the plane I checked the score and saw that not only did we get the W, but four Warriors had 20 plus games, including Anthony Morrow with 24. Apparently, someone got the ball movement memo. In this highlight clip from NBA.com, the announcer says that Morrow “may just be the best shooter in the NBA.” Note to Warriors - if you may just have the best shooter in the NBA, you may just want to get him the ball. And in response to The Sultan of Salt, Tim Kawakami, yeah, we know Morrow isn’t going to be a superstar because he can’t create his own shots like Kobe or Jordan, but if you don’t have Michael Jordan on your team, or even Scottie Pippen for that matter, then you may just want the rock in Steve Kerr’s hands.
Speaking of salty, young Steph Curry kicked off a “Rookie Blog,” over at GQ.com, and he definitely could use a little more flavoring. I appreciate that he can, you know, formulate a sentence. Although the blog is titled “Balls Out,” my man’s participles aren’t dangling out his shorts and verbs and subjects seem to be agreeing just fine. That’s a good thing. However, could we have a bit of spice? Even just a sprinkle? A Baron Davis “Ya Dig” maybe? If I’m GQ, I’m hiring E-40 to come in and get Curry’s mouthpiece tight, ya smell me?
And, last but not least, I wanted to save this for Hater Tuesday, but once I read this, I couldn’t hold back the hate. Dan Wetzel over at Yahoo Sports did a great job of putting Donald Sterling (and The NBA) on blast for Sterling’s recent settlement in a housing discrimination case. If you don’t know much about Donald Sterling, this pretty much says it all:
Apparently, Sterling is so cheap he won’t even spend money to defend his reputation against a racial discrimination charge. If you’re innocent (and rich), you’d think squashing the possible assumption that you’re a despicable racist is a project worth dropping some cash on, but hey, this is Donald Sterling. You also wouldn’t think someone could run the Clippers like he has.
Do you think that Chris Cohan looks in the mirror every morning and says “Thank you Donald Sterling?” That’s what I’d do if I was the second worst owner in the NBA.
