Best Fantasy Line Ever

In 1986, playing fantasy basketball must've been extraordinarily difficult. Playing by adding up the stats from newspapers. No internet. That must've sucked hard. But Larry made things easier to take. Peep his line from the 1986-87 season. ABSURD.

74 games played, 41 minutes per game, 28 points per game, 53% field goals, 91% free throws, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 1 three pointer, 3 turnovers

That's what you get when KG, Jason Kidd and Shawn Marion are combined into one player with Steve Nash's free throw shooting.

Lunatics Running the Asylum

Over at the Washington Times, hyperbole is becoming fact. And at an odd juncture. Kevin Brewer writes, in an alarmist titled piece "Reign Over?," that Bronny has gotten worse. Maybe. So much so that while last year he was in a class with Shaq, Dr. J and Jordan (According to Brewer. I'd argue he was in a class by himself), this year he's not even in the top 15 players in the league. I'm not that familiar with Brewer's work, but this is the utterance of a man out of touch. LeBron's numbers have fallen off a bit this year, no doubt. But they're still in the top 5, easily, in the league. The only lines I'd take over Bron's are KG, DWade, Dirk and maybe Nash/Marion . Bron's still, most assuredly, top 5, definitely top 10, and even discussing top 15 is just a joke. Furthermore, at the time of this article's publication, peep Bron's line over the last 8 games:

33 pts, 5 rebs, 5 assists, 1 blk, 1 stl

The reign isn't over... it has barely begun.
