@SamQuinnCBS Also probably cost the Celtics a title, because having Perkins when Shaq got hurt that playoffs would have been huge.

Just a reminder that years later, the Thunder traded for Tyson Chandler, but failed his physical only to lose to him in the WCFs and then trade for Kendrick Perkins a year later. It's the single most consequential failed physical in NBA history and it cost OKC multiple rings.

Nothing is guaranteed to make me cry like this video every time.
Dr. Lemma@DoctorLemma

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

I’ve coached with guys that I also coached with at a previous school so it feels like crossover episode sometimes.

@rBillSimmonsPod Agree about the best Bill being when he’s not afraid to come at someone. Bill saying “Alright settle down (whoever)…” is my favorite Bill.

60th Annual Tournament of Champions (TOC) Tulsa Public Schools - LOCUST GROVE vs QUINTON Girls - 7th Place Game When the official probably has more career #OKPreps points than all 10 of the players on floor? ANGEL GOODRICH, who is in her 5th year as an OSSAA Official had a pretty good #OKPreps career! ANGEL is in the top 50 ALL-TIME on the 5-on-5 scoring list with 2,112 career points, played in 4 state championship games in her career, winning 3 at SEQUOYAH TAHLEQUAH 2005, 2006 and 2007 #OSSAAOfficials

@Brad__22 Man, I feel totally opposite. I feel like Chris makes Ja homer points from 4 years ago and it makes me happy when Bill calls him out.

Bill Simmons really goes full middle school bully mode when he talks to Chris Vernon on his podcast. Genuinely makes me think less of him!
