Bill Simmons: LeBron James expecting people to not talk about Bronny is ‘pretty nuts’
"I just feel bad for Bronny."
"I just feel bad for Bronny."
"It was like, 'Dude, we've been following the NBA our whole lives.'"
"...all of the evidence with the great players we've had, name the sport, mostly they're not good at this."
"The discourse, big-picture about basketball, as it relates to eras and the past, is like the worst it's ever been."
"Going back to Grantland and The Ringer, we've tried to elevate discussion on pods and writing."
"A lot of people were having a very difficult time, particularly since some real legends were laid off during these layoffs."
"Let's put real pressure on these dudes."
"It’s about 8 decades of the Celtics, the NBA, Boston and America."
"Can we f**king settle down now for five years with the Mahomes GOAT stuff? Please. Thank you."
"I have no notes. That's one of the best conspiracy theories I've ever heard."
"He could've been smoking cigarettes bringing the ball up the f*cking court and I would still be like, 'When can we sign you to the supermax?'"
"I think Bob Myers is lurking, in general."
Seriously, Bill. What the hell?
Simmons' contract is reportedly set to expire next month.
"Everyone in my life felt I handled it perfectly."
"It's just been an awful week and it just feels like it's not gonna get better."
"Bill Simmons was fighting for his life."
"Why not put this decision in the hands of people who care about the big long-term picture of the franchise instead of trying to win the game?"
"After my third year, Bill Simmons had me getting traded every week somewhere."
"This is the first time the Clippers have ever turned the tables on the Lakers and made them feel like they are just kind of more modern and more on it."
"I never heard from him again."
"How do you find these under-30 American stars that people are going to give a s*** about like they care about Steph and LeBron?"
"What other explanation could there be? Do you literally, like, blackout?"
"This is why they suck, and they haven't won a playoff game in 30 years."
