Can’t deny Steph any longer
Steph Curry collected the Finals MVP last night that, the award that for some reason, some people think was required to validate him. As repeated ad nauseam by me and others, there are few players who changed the game completely, and Curry is one of them. Even when he was off, as he was in Game 5, h...

Now’s apparently the time to ask Vince McMahon for anything
Given my history of putting the kibosh on stuff I proclaim, I’m probably putting paid to one of the things I want most in the world.

Brian Windhorst saying anything that even a handful of people don’t like is going to bring out the toxicity on social media.
