In 2008, Chris Paul was the most annoying person living rent-free in my head. During the Western Conference Semifinals, Paul averaged a very annoying 23.7 points and 10.7 assists per game in that series against my beloved San Antonio Spurs. He and David West (also a future former Spur) were the thorn in the Spurs’ […]

I’m not privy to professional sports teams’ schedules when the players fly in at 4 AM for a 7 PM (eastern time I assume) game that same day. Do the coaches let them sleep in until noon? Hotel breakfast hits different on 2 – 4 hours of sleep. Why do they stop serving breakfast at […]
