Bill Simmons on Kemba

[M.S.G.]

I think my two favorite Simmons podcast moments were when he said he knew the step back three Ray hit against San Antonio was a tough shot because he tried it in a pickup game and couldn't do it, and when Ryen Russillo said he understood the mentality of the characters in The Town from his days growing up on Martha's Vineyard.

Not really germane to the post but just an opportunity to point out that while he puts out some good content the guy can be a first rate bozo.

If the story is true that seems to fly in the face of everything Kemba’s about.

Side note, Russillo is actually good at hoops, I played ball with him a few times in Bristol. Simmons is a grade A loser. I was a huge fan of his early columns @ ESPN, and then I saw him shoot a basketball at some charity game and said nope, done. Absolute dork.

Rich dork.

PMT was good the first year I listened to in like 2017-2018. After that it was just tiresome, completely predictable jokes and tired schtick. I never got the impression they're more unabashed sports fans than Simmons. They really only follow the NFL (like Simmons w/ NBA) and then care about specific teams here and there. Both started out making fun of the conventional media and slowly morphed into what they were poking fun at imo.

There will be no PMT slander here. Been an AWL for years and I won't stand for it.
