It seems fitting that we kick off this site with the latest headline from Peter Vescey. 

“KG, Kobe would have been a winning pair.”

Beautiful.  Insightful.  Deep. 

All the things we’ve come to expect out of Vescey.  Just think of how much Vescey could have done with that mind of his if he had devoted himself to say, history, instead of sports.  He could be giving us insightful nuggets like “Hitler, A-bomb would have been a destructive pair” or “Mayflower, Iceberg would have been a devastating combination.”

So Peter, you think that Kobe Bryant, regarded by many as the best perimeter player in the league, and Kevin Garnett, one of the top 5 post players in the league, could have won a lot of games together?  Wow.  I wish I would have thought of that.  I mean, nobody has ever loaded of a NBA video game and traded somebody like Luke Walton for KG and then romped wildly through their virtual basketball season.  The kids these day don’t have any imagination!

And notice how, even when writing the obvious, Vescey avoids raising the bar too high. Winning pair?  What does that mean?  Dynasty?  A single championship?  An above .500 record?  Awesome.  I tip my hat to you, sir.

But Peter has all kinds of tricks up his sleeve.  Check out his opening paragraph-sentence.

Writing a column hours before the Celtics-Lakers’ first Finals’ play date and not have it go stone cold (worse, still, reduced to rubble) by the time you scan it (for mistakes or mocking material) some time today can’t be so difficult as my mind is making it out to be.

How did he know I was going to be starting a site dedicated to mocking him and his cohorts today?

Spooky isn’t it?!

Thank you Peter, for thinking of me and providing such beautiful source material.
