- I had actually wondered about that. -- nm - Spawndroid Jul 21, 16:02 4
  - I wonder why it's illegal, but I suspect it probably has to do with people using it as an excuse to sublet space. - Mop Jul 21, 16:22 2

- We, as fans, place too much importance on championships when evaluating players -- nm - Strongbad Jul 21, 14:42 1
  - I will agree with that -- nm - crash davis Jul 21, 14:45
- That league is pretty broken right now. You really kind of hope a team like Golden State will win another and the players will start wanting to show - pmb Jul 21, 14:35 12
  - I just keep wondering what would have happened with Jordan's legacy if... - David Jul 21, 14:37 11
    - I agree, and I'm not quite sure why it's so different from other sports. I think part is that salary cap is specific to contracts so basically all - pmb Jul 21, 14:43 3
      - I do think that Team USA has had a strange impact in that way. - David Jul 21, 14:49 2
