^Exactly, LeBron doesn't have that lighting fast first step that D. Wade, Jordan, etc. demonstrated in their prime. In fact, I'd venture to say that an in-shape Carmelo Anthony has a better first step than LeBron (although LeBron is clearly much faster and is a much more explosive leaper, esp...

Rose will be fine. In fact, I think he will return to MVP form as soon as next year. ACL's replacement surgery has gotten a lot better over the years. Also, Rose is a player that simply has another gear in terms of speed, quickness and explosiveness. If Rose come back with even 80% of his prior...

1) Melo is overrated and has been his entire career. Healthy and in shape, he is clearly a top 5 scorer in the league, but unfortunately he has demonstrated little motivation to do anything else. 2) Amare has had an awful season. I think something is up with his back and/or knees, and the...

The problem isn't necessarily what he said. It's the ideology he represents, one that is widely held in conservative circles - poor black kids just need to try harder. I seriously doubt many poor black kids are perusing Forbes.com, reading up on the latest news in the business world and on the...

In my opinion, he has a point - poor minorities can increase their chances of escaping poverty by focusing on academic success and by using technology to overcome infrastructural shortcomings. But the problem is he makes this seem much easier than it is in reality. There are an infinite number...

I agree that black people deserve reparations for the gross injustices/atrocities they suffered in the United States , but I'd say for what happened b/t 1890 - 1950ish - when blacks were technically "free" from slavery, but arguably suffered worse than they did in slavery.  As slaves, blacks...

These discussions about the so-called "system" and how it holds down black Americans are tired.  Basically, if you deny that the way society is set up makes it easier for whites (as opposed to blacks) to succeed, you are either an idiot, or you've been brainwashed/blinded by the post-racial...

Good idea. PayPal is a rip-off

During my time in college I've seen my tolerance shoot up tremendously. In the past, 3 shots would have me happily drunk, 5 and I might not remember everything the next morning. These days I need about 8-10 shots just to get drunk.

Word. Go to top university and use "the nod" quite frequently . But it sucks when the recipient is lame and either doesn't return the nod or returns it in an awkward way that lets you know they don't understand its significance. 

Yeah, Wayne has fallen off HARD. He had flashes of brilliance on the Squad Up tapes, and in my opinion he peaked (as a rapper) during the Carter 1 - Dedication 2 era. However, Wayne is most definitely in his prime (or leaving it) as a businessman; he knows what most of his fans want, he knows...

OP was clearly harassed and people are trying to justify the cops' behavior? I don't get it.

Never even considered announcing my relationship status to the Facebook world. I think people just like the attention, honestly. I prefer privacy.

I agree that it is odd NBA players use the n-word without any repercussions. But the NBA isn't an alternate universe. NBA basketball takes place within a society that uses the N-word casually, like any other slang term. Whereas the N word is most frequently used as a term of endearment, the f...

The hate for Lebron is unreal. I mean, who is a more dominant player than Lebron these days?
