Fuck Bill Simmons with an AIDS soaked stick

I'm furious right now after putting in 700 some pages of reading THE BOOK OF BASKETBALL by Douchebag McCocksucking Celticslover. I've chocked on him putting Robert Parish and Kevin McHale WAY too high in his "Pyramid" of the greatest 96 players. It has pissed me off, but it's fine. The ultimate blasphemy has occurred however when Fuckface Coastie put the 1986 Celtics ar the greatest NBA team ever. I expected him to pick some random 60's Celtics team with Russell, but NO. He goes into 5 pages to defend his decision, but most ridiculous is thinking that the 97' Bulls would have trouble guarding the 86' Celtics. Robert Parrish isn't going to go off on anyone, fuck the fact that it'd be Luc Longley. McHale would get his ass dominated by Dennis Rodman, like every other post player Rodman has played D against. Pippen is ALL OVER Bird, and MJ and a hobbled Ron Harper can certianly handle DJ and Ainge, enough to make them useless if need be.

Somewhere in the moronic reasoning of a homer spewing bullshit on a national level it isn't mentioned that this Celtic team would have to guard THE Michael Jordan. The player no more than 50 pages ago he mentioned is unequivocally the greatest player ever. The one who couldn't be conquered in the 90's. For some reason the 86' Celtics that he put up 63 on as a 21 year-old would be able to contain him in during his best "team" years. I had to put the book down again and pick up Outliers again and read how Malcolm Gladwell defines success.

The book is incredibly interesting because he looks at purely the facts and does not let anything else get in the way. Gladwell has an incredible resume that included writing for the NY Times and now the New Yorker. He's gaining a lot of acclaim as an author with a different point of view. It's a lot more enlightened, and will force you to think about things differently. It's one of the reasons that I am refusing to read fiction anymore, at least for awhile. I'm going to knock out Outliers, and then One-Night Stands with American History, so I can learn even more useless information to recite on command and weird everyone else out.
