Poor Rudy Gobert

I Hope Dennis Smith Jr. Keeps Trying Big Dunks And Ruins Someone's Life
Dennis Smith Jr. is just 6-foot-2, but the audacious kind of 6-foot-2, the kind that wants to put the ball directly into the hoop no matter what bodies stand between him and it.

You’re a human person with functioning eyeballs and so I don’t need to convince you that Tom Hardy has a good face featuring a pair of full, impressive lips. The lips are nice.

The Drive-By Dunk Challenge Is The Meme Of The Summer
Teens with way too much time on their hands struggling to entertain themselves is a hallmark of summer.
