I'm assuming the jersey rule is so referees can signal jersey numbers on one hand.

The ESPN highlight was awesome. With a straight face, Steve Levy extensively broke down every play he was involved in, which included falling down when going for a rebound and picking up a loose ball.

ESPN has a poll right now "Is the NBA ready for a gay player?" Spoiler alert, all 50 states voted yes.

I don't understand the question.

that's pretty much what he's been for a while now, the modern day Scott Williams. somewhat surprised the Hawks didn't make a run at bringing him back, what with them having no bigs due to injury. Elton Brand, starting center.

Cool. But you'll still have the app and watch ESPN tomorrow.

Despite the fact that this means little to the average Joe, to the millions of gay Americans this is significant.

I was laughing my arse off imagining how angry all the social conservatives who had tuned in for Nascar highlights were getting. Such a great troll by ESPN.

I'm sure there will be a "Star Spangled Celebration of Cocksucking" somewhere on cable this 4th of July. Watching the media you'd think that's all anyone ever thinks about.

Wow, great troll espin, like they don't latch on to every other left wing fad issue.

It would be more significant if it weren't a big deal.

And it isn't to fans or players. Shows how out of touch BSPN is. They're way behind everyone else.

Yep. Dumb rule--it wouldn't be that hard to make up hand signals for 6 through 9.

I don't understand the logic behind signing this clown. 37 years old and his career year was the 05-06 campaign where he put up a monster 6.1 pts. and 6.4 boards. This dude is terrible and would be chillin' on the couch if he wasn't sweet

This is the second thread on here you've discussed sucking dicks. I think maybe you need to deal with your repressed feelings.

I'm not sure how gay this makes us as a society. I'm going to kick back, light a fig on fire, and contemplate the queerness of this move.

front court depth. when the Nets traded for Marcus Thornton, they traded away Reggie Evans and didn't replace him with anyone. they looked at a couple other options (Jordan Hill via trade or Big Baby after his buyout), but didn't get those done.

he's 7 ft tall, and can give a few minutes, set some screens and clog up the paint on D. all they want him to be is a role player/ little things guy.

the whole 1st gay player thing will likely die down shortly.

I can't wait for the first gay coach, first lesbian dance team, oh wait, we've probably already had all of that.
