Steph Curry's unanimous MVP is bad for basketball because it ruins the debate

The news on this press conference is not that he won. It's that he managed to get 131 media people to agree to the same thing at the same time... When you can get the media people not to basically pull their pants down and go, I'm going to vote for the wrong guy just so people will notice me, you've done a remarkable thing... he's been horrible for basketball. He's broken the game, first of all. He helped ruin the regular season now. And now he's in the process of breaking the playoffs.

The NBA deserves bad officiating because they retired the great iconoclasts like Joey Crawford

Joey Crawford's retirement is one of the darkest moments in what has been a pretty lackluster season... Officiating in the NBA was better with two guys who knew what they were doing... now they get Scott Fosters. Now they get Tony Brothers. They deserve it. They deserve to have nothing but crappy officiating from now until the end of time.
