During interview

Me "So you like basketball. Me too. Who's your favorite player?"

Kid "Russell Westbrook. He's the best of all time I think"

Me "Wow, Better than MJ or Lebron?"

Kid "Definitely better than Lebron. Who's MJ?"

Me "Michael Jordan"

Kid "Is that an old school player like Allen Iverson?"

Me  :mindblown

One of my students works towards earning baseball cards when he demonstrates good behavior. He got a pack of 2015 cards and one of them was a cool Hank Aaron card.

"Is he good?"

Uh. Yeah.

I call bs that he's a "basketball fan" although increasingly as time passes, I suppose its possible that someone might not recognize the MJ name as a player. But to be honest, I always think people like that are dumb. I mean Bill Russell was way before my time but I knew who he was even as a kid.

It's like asking somebody about Hitler and them deflecting and saying well that was before my time so I don't know who that is. In my brain, I'm always like Fuck You.


The weird thing I will say is that Allen Iverson has street cred so he has remained relevant in a way that most players from that generation haven't. Which annoys the fuck out of me.

I see Narlof has taken his trolling of Borians into real life avenues.
