Funny guy...Not really credible though.

 Bill Simmons is pretty educated when it comes to B-Ball. Dude is funny aswell.

dunno how he's moronic when he usually backs up any of statements with legit facts

LOL. For B-Ball, do you mean baseball? Cuz 90% of the shit he says about basketball is absurd...Bill Simmons doesn't back everything he says up with facts. Dude is humorous, that's what people like about him, but those people also know that anything he says about basketball should be taken with a grain of salt...PeACe

26. Kevin Garnett

A. He missed the playoffs for three straight years in his prime.
B. He made it past the first round once in his entire career.
C. You can't say those things about any other "superstar" from the past 30 years. Not one of them.

yep

8. Kobe Bryant
Averaging 41 points in the past 31 days, a stretch that featured two 40-point games, four 50-point games and two 60-point games. Absolutely remarkable, even if the Lakers went 8-8 over that stretch and will get slaughtered by Phoenix in Round 1 because they reverted back to "Let's stand around and wait for Kobe to take over" mode. So much for the round of "Mr. Team Play" stories (can I have that two months of my life back?). And for anyone arguing that Kobe deserves MVP consideration for carrying an obviously mediocre team ... um, isn't he the same guy who pushed Shaq out of town and created this mess in the first place?

(I can't stick him higher than eighth. I just can't.)

^^LOL@you being proud of what that idiot said...You still haven't learned the situation in LA by now? You know you're fucked when you're agreeing with Bill Simmons, especially in regards to Kobe/Lakers.

I've been steady reading Simmons for over 3 years now.  It's the ONLY reason I go to ESPN.com.  I don't always agree w/ him, but he can be hilarious and usually has pretty good insight. 

And he just signed a 4 year contract extension w/ espn.  That's cool I guess, but I kinda wish he would have left so he could really speak his mind on shit.

But yeah, I read both articles the last 2 days.  He makes some excellent points.

And what does that have to do with him winning the MVP this year?

Why is Josh Smith a  jerk? He doesn't back that up, and Smith is on his way to being on of the most complete players in the game.

He says things like this to get a rise out of people...
