1. As I have written before, when Bill Simmons’s “F--- Jalen Green” line became a big thing online, very few people wanted to attach any context to it.
Simmons, on an episode of his Ringer podcast, was not saying “F--- Jalen Green” the person. He was saying, “F--- Jalen Green” as a candidate to be on the All-Rookie team. It was not a personal attack. It was also said in jest and not in a serious manner. I explained all of this, as well, on a recent edition of the SI Media Podcast with Ryen Russillo.
