That's reason enough. His basketball knowledge is overrated and he's a low-key bigot.
I don't fukk with those other guys either.

Hi!
Bushes Hall Of Famer
In his NBA book he said a team of the greatest white players would beat a team of the greatest Black players, partially because there'd be less selfishness.
Co fukkin sign both of these posts. These undercover cacs and sambos always expose themselves in threads like this with the

No offense but you sound like the stereotypical white dude with that "I don't watch" stuff. They don't care because if every person on here didn't watch we all know its way more people that do and since they are in the business of making $$$ I don't blame them. You can say Colin and Skip are trolls but trolling sells. Its a big reason Mayweather is where he's at because he got so many dudes mad as fukk with his act/life they pay to hopefully see him lose and keep his name on their lips. That's just what it is most famous talking heads have that love/hate and or trolling vibe with them. Don't think its many you can find that are popular that don't have it and damn near not at the same numbers as the famous troll/ love and hate types.
Zach Lowe is awful
That's not even close to true you're just making shyt up in your own head

I always felt Simmons would be better off with NBA TV or something like that

14 years isnt lasting power?
What company would sign away a profitable entity in a contract like that
Wonder if his representation negotiated some perpetual royalties at the very least
Typical "I'm not racist or anything, but..."If you missed the McDonald's All-American Game Wednesday night, you missed an appalling 4-for-17 performance by O.J. Mayo, who has a legitimate chance to replace Vince Carter as my least favorite NBA star of all-time before everything's said and done. Really, USC is expecting him to play point guard? That's the worst basketball-related idea since the Pacers teamed up Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest.
Fortunately, the game featured my new favorite incoming recruit: UCLA's Kevin Love, a 6-foot-9 power forward who studied Wes Unseld/Bill Walton tapes as a kid and throws the best outlet pass in 30 years. I've heard about him for months, hoped the stories were true and didn't want to jinx it by saying anything. But screw it. With Durant fleeing to the pros, I'm dumping Texas and jumping on the UCLA bandwagon. Hell, I'd even get season tickets if it were remotely possible to get UCLA season tickets. It's been so long since we've seen a big guy grab a rebound, look down the court and whistle a 50-foot pass to start a fast break in the same motion. I just feel Love will become a revelation for a whole new generation of fans.
As you know, I'm a huge basketball dork and have more than 300 classic games burned to DVD. Other than the Celtics and MJ's Bulls, you know which team is featured the most in my DVDs? Walton's Portland team from '77....
The bigger picture: With Mayo joining a loaded USC team and Love playing 20 minutes away for a Final Four team, that's looming as a dynamite rivalry and the most intriguing media subplot for the 2007-08 season. After all, Love represents everything good about basketball (unselfishness, teamwork, professionalism) and Mayo represents everything we've come to despise (showboating, selfishness, over-hype).If Love were black, this would be a much easier topic to discuss. But he's white. So even though there's a natural inclination to embrace Love's game and disparage Mayo's game -- you know, assuming you give a crap about basketball and care about where it's headed as a sport -- there's also a natural inclination to hold back because nobody wants to sound like the white media guy supporting the Great White Hope over the Black Superstar Du Jour.
This is just a small sample of his garbage. Funny, 8 years later Kevin Love is viewed as one of the most selfish players in the NBA, while OJ Mayo relishes a spot as a 6th man. F*ck Bill Simmons.
never comment on the NBA again
What? You must not have read all the Ricky Rubio is going to be the best point guard every posts he wrote every other month. Or how he goes out of his way to praise Kelly Olynyk (beyond him being a Celtics fan). There are just so many examples. Do your research.
