Sorry, I don't understand; I am dense. Why is college football the dumbest sport? And what is the connection to the NBA All-Star Game? Not to speak for him, but USC and Rutgers in the same football conference . . . pretty dumb! I’m at least 15 years past trying to keep up with which teams are in which conferences.

This is pretty cool to watch.
That is not an easy job.

I'm never crazy about the after-the-fact "we will find a way!" analyses.
Same with players who, after getting hot in the final few minutes, say, "I just decided . . . "
So the previous five losses you DIDN'T "just decide"?

I loved AD’s response to the dummy who asked “Can you tell us what happened on that last play?”
“Jamal Murray made a shot.” Drops mic. Exits.

I think we can all sympathize, though, having to have done that job previously. The worst was baseball, having to manufacture a narrative 162 games a year. The fans think you're asking "dumb questions" (and I'm one of them now), but you're really just trying to feed the beast. I was on the "access is over-rated" train at the old place for a while before I got das boot, for the very reason that sometimes it leads to worse coverage, not better.

Absolutely. I asked some of the dumbest questions ever asked when I was grasping for something to write about. And (rightfully) got a ton of reactions as bad or worse than AD’s.
News is so much easier to report than sports.

Kinda mundane, coulda been phrased a tad better. Little bit of a pissy answer, but a good anchor for a nice lead if you do it right.

He needed to say, "talk about the last play."

With how it all went down, especially in the last minute, that gamer writes itself. It ain’t rocket science.

Nothing more embarrassing than having your home arena taken over by opposing fans. In the playoffs.

Thought I answered this, but I don’t think you can go wrong asking someone for their perspective on something important that they were in the middle of. Seems pretty basic.

I know it was mostly due to Milwaukee’s injuries, but Indiana is a fun team to see advance.
