    Alright? Did saying that get you fired? Should it get you fired? Does any of that change the fact that the education standards by almost every appreciable measure are substandard?

    He may not be, but almost every single study concludes that education standards ARE very low in D.R..... and it isn't shocking, it is a poor country. No one said people from D.R. are stupid or inferior.

    Cowherd hating the rockets and his firing are two different issues

    They are referring to how you spelled there, that's why it was bolded. This has been painful to watch unfold

    I fully understand that but it's quite a jump to assume one has poor critical thinking skills based on a singular proofreading error.

    I wasn't getting at you. I was just explaining myself. This is kinda funny since my original point was ppl need to stop blowing up the slightest perceived missteps into larger controversies. It's all good though.

    Wouldn't say it's not world class. At a college level, U.S. schools make up for almost 95% of the top schools in the world. Public schools aren't as bad as they used to be either. And private schools are doing a lot better. SAT scores are reaching all time highs. It's not bad per say. There's definitely better countries but it's not like we suck.

    still harping on hardens defense, espn is garbage and late as usual. If they would have been following harden this years they would know his d was much better thats was one of the reasons why the rockets took off this year

    harden is the biggest compeition for curry and espns knows it, they belittle harden and prop up curry. Sorta what espn does with Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota

    check this video out, espn pursposely left harden out when mentioning the 2009 redraft

    It's funny because the Lawson trade barely registered in sports media. Then the pundits really take a look at the roster and they always say - well damn.

    I love how word had gotten out that Cowherd hates Houston, so much to the point that Daryl Morey had to be the one to reach out to him just to get him to can his constant hate job.

    Even in that monologue he's belittling us in all the typical radio show host ways. Calls Harden a "little Curry", before quickly clarifying that Curry is better. Says he loves our roster then to prove it gives out his prediction of us losing to Golden State in the Conference Finals again next year. His producers have to point out to the listeners that this isn't 2014, and that Cowherd is actually giving us a compliment in his backhanded way. Then Cowherd says we caught breaks this postseason. What breaks would those be? Like the breaks to Beverley's wrist? Or D-Mo's back muscles?

    Whatever. Karma is a b****.

    You completely missing the point could well be the product of america having lower education standards, lower health standards and being more ignorant than the rest of the developed world.

    (You see, these things are all true, so such a statement should be quite fine...or maybe not)

    Something maybe true, you probably wouldn't want to say that basketball isn't exactly for geniuses, just look at the education level of african americans either.
