The Shooterz Corner

Here's a triptych that I made.

My friend shares a dark thought he's had while cruising through the Southern California streets.

In this case, which starting NFL quarterback most closely resembles a current NBA player. Not in terms of physical appearance, but in terms of their career arc, current situation, media narratives, and my own personal opinion. This is clearly an exact science, but if you disagree with the list feel free to comment. Lets start in the AFC.  AFC 1.

A western conference power on the cusp of dethroning the Warriors (twice) let go of an invaluable three-and-d wing in Trevor Ariza, and added a Carmelo Anthony (because I don't know what his role is either). The Rockets should start a lecture circui...
