"WTF is this? Fightball. NYT link:"


  

          

Seems weird, equal parts reactionary nostalgia and hyper-modern hype show:

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

It'll be some cool shyt to watch while in the club

I'd never pay to watch it on ppv r anything

https://youtu.be/dH7lhxe-NSY

Basically if u got any semblance of range u can win

Ain't no use in bodying down in the paint since u don't get rewarded with free throws when u get fouled

So have range and be able to play good enough D to where u don't get completely left behind on drives to the basket so u can hack the shit outta someone

And u good money

Hell where do I sign up?

Battle for points close to the hoop, 3 points.
Stand back and nail jumpers, 2 points.

Or something to give people credit for fighting down low rather than just doing the more sensible thing and hitting jumpers.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
