Aside from my view that NBA players are the best overall athletes on the planet, there’s a particular pettiness engrained in the league that lends itself to moments of absurdity that is distributed to the masses by the diligent and hilarious characters of NBA Twitter.

I spent the better half of the morning scrolling through the replies to the following question:

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
