I thought this was interesting. Also I thought we already had a thread like this, but I couldn't find one.

Isn't there a Zach Lowe thread?

It's amazing how much has changed in the NBA for big guys over the past 10 years.

Jaylen Brown definitely hung at least one Che poster in his dorm room.

I can only hope Detroit's D-League team has some players with a bit of...Drive. Heh, go me.

Great thread Oobi, keep 'em coming!

A new study finds that basketball teams playing for survival in critical NBA playoff games are more likely to lose. This study is the first to illustrate 'choking' in a real-world team sports environment. The results suggest that 'choking' is a common phenomenon in high-stakes situations and may be applicable to a variety of high-pressure performance situations, including those found in the workplace.

In the category of bad analogies, Cleveland vs. Golden State applied to IT security:

If LeBron James didn't play basketball, he'd be just as menacing as a hacker.

And if Stephen Curry hadn't been shooting 3-pointers before he turned 3 years old, he'd be just as effective at cybersecurity as he is a point guard.

I love it when we play the Bucks and George pauses half the time for a split second and then sputters out "Greek Freak" instead of trying Antetokounmpo.

For Deadspin, I mean.

She doesn't like college basketball, so she's way ahead of most elderly basketball fans.
