Bird was one of the greatest players ever. Against the Lakers he was a liability because of Worthy. Jerry West drafted James Worthy to kill Bird. Now, the Lakers had Kareem and Magic too. But Worthy was the difference on the wing and in the post against Bird or McHale. That's why the Lakers beat the Celtics two out of three in the 80s. West traded for the draft rights to Kobe to kill everyone.

Someone asked me about the defense. You couldn't double at this time. You had to play man. Celtics couldn't defend Worthy man on man in the post. It's not like now where you just pack the paint and switch double or flood the pick and roll. Rules wouldn't let you do that then. That's why the paint is open and there's much more movement on the ball with only one defender. They changed the rule about man defense because the rest of the league got tired of Kobe and Shaq killing them one on one.

Real basketball. Game 1 1987 NBA Finals.

Here's the judge (Texas) explaining to the kid criminal interloper (Oklahoma) why they never won anything without cheating and why all the whining in the world about being outspent in NIL wont save them. I been everywhere, the kid said. This is just one more place The judge arched his brow. Did you post witness? he said. To report to you on the continuing existence of those places once you'd quit them? That's crazy. Is it? Where is yesterday? Where is Glanton and Brown and where is the priest as the pope? He leaned closer. Where is Shelby, whom you left to the mercies of Elias in the desert, and where is Tate whom you abandoned in the mountains? Where are the ladies, ah the fair and tender ladies with whom you danced at the governor's ball when you were a hero anointed with the blood of the enemies of the republic you'd elected to defend. And where is the fiddler and where is the dance? I guess you can tell me. I tell you this. As war becomes dishonored and its nobility called into question those honorable men who recognize the sanctity of blood will excluded from the dance, which is the warrior's right, and thereby will the dance become a false dance and dancers false dancers. And yet there will be one there always who is a true dancer and can you guess who that might be? You aint notin. You speak truer than you know. But I will tell you. Only that man who has offered up himself entire to the blood of war, who has been to the floor of the pit and seen the horror in the round and learned at last that it speaks to his inmost heart, only that man can dance. Even a dumb animal can speak. The judge set the bottle on the bar. Hear me, man, he said. There is room on the stage for one beast and one alone. All others are destined for a night that is eternal and without name. One by one they will step down into the darkness before the footlamps. Bears that dance, bears that dont.

Everybody dont have to have a reason to be someplace. That's so, said the judge. They do not have to have reason. But order is not set aside because of their indifference. He regarded the judge warily. Let me put it this way, said the judge. If it is so that they themselves have no reason and yet are indeed here must they not be here by reason of some other? And if this is so can you guess who that other might be? No. Can you? I know him well. He poured the tumbler full once more and he took a drink himself from the bottle and he wiped his mouth and turned to regard the room. This is an orchestration for an event. For a dance in fact. The participants will be apprised of their roles at the proper time. For now it is enough that they have arrived. As the dance is the thing with which we are concerned and contains complete within itself its own arrangement and history and finally there is no necessity that the dancers contain these things within themselves as well. In any event the history of all is not the history of each nor indeed the sum of those histories and none here can finally comprehend the reason for his presence for he has no way of knowing even in what the event consists. In fact, were he to know he might well absent himself and you can see that that cannot be any part of the plan if plan there be. Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian, original 1985 edition, pp, 341-342

Don't know what they're counting. Won regular season football and baseball. Went farther than any SEC team in CFP. That's two out of the big three. Criminal sooners suck worse than ever. Aggies gonna suck as long as Trev runs the show.

Linked The Cult because I remember listening to this as the Lakers beat the Celtics in game six at Boston Garden to win the NBA Finals June 1985.

I don't know. I think if Sark would have switched to Arch during the second bye (just before Florida), we would've won the national championship last season.

I have about an 80 gallon barrel pit smoker I welded out of eight gauge steel. It's a single stack three inch adjustable smoker. I'm using a mixture of oak and cedar to smoke sausage from the wild hog I killed last week.

Dirk isn't even a top fifty player.

Given that Dirk was doofus, yes. But at least Dirk wasn't a fat boy.

Meyer was/is a bigger jerk and liar than Herman. That usually doesn't work in Texas.

That's definitely part of it. They mentioned that OSU has many noon games and they don't complain too much. But the guy got real serious when one of the commenters then said playing at noon against Texas shouldn't be a big deal. He said it means a least six points to OSU. Then he said the deal about Arch Manning.

Just heard a Buckeye podcaster say Ohio State should just refuse to play the game at noon. Someone asked why. Podcaster responded: "You can't beat Arch Manning at noon!"

Goobers talking about head coach calling offensive plays. Tom Landry called every defensive and offensive play while head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Don't give me nonsense about improvement. It ain't improved.

They could lose five without Texas beating them.

Ask Sark if he thinks Kobe was the best round about 2006 when the media kept giving MVPs to Nash.

I'm saying Kobe was the best basketball player in the world during the NBA Finals in 2000. Watch the game four tape, CJ. Larry Bird said Kobe was the best player in the world in after the game. Bird has some credibility because he was the best player in the world from 1981-1984. He was 25 when he became the best.

I'm thinking the only time the best football player in the world was a Texas Longhorn was Earl Campbell from 1979-1981. We need Arch to extend this.

You talkin one sweep against ten. Where does this crap come from? Lakers were swept by the Sixers in the 1983 NBA Finals. Lakers beat the Sixers in two out of three Finals in 80s. Lakers beat the Celtics in two out of three Finals in the 80s. One year doesn't erase fifty years. Saying that, Brick sucks.

Reminds me of Bobby warning Gerry not to go too far in saying Collin Simmons might be the best defensive player in "college" football. I mean hell. Arch better be the best damn player in college football in 2025 by a long shot. Arch should be the best football player in world by 2027. Arch is 21 now. Kobe was the best player in the world when he was 21.

How many best players in the world have the Lakers had? Wilt, Jerry West, Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe. What are we talking about?

Kobe won five. Kobe was the best player in the world from 2001-2010. Mavs have never had the best player in the world.

I guess the Mavs are top notch. I mean we got Lakers, Warriors, Celtics, Spurs, Heat, Kobe, Steph, LeBrick, KD, Tatum and Jokic. I mean, Dirk ain't even pansy Jokic. Stop blowing smoke. Aggy gonna claim Manziel. He was more important than anything Mavs did. Furthermore, fat boy Luka gonna be the downfall of this Lakers team. This is Luka compared to NBA greats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZt7J0iaUD0
