#DeadSetLedge Status:
Assured! Even if his career is now vastly overrated because he’s on telly all the time, props to him being a mediocre-to-good NBA player who could score (just never particularly efficiently) and parlaying being mates with Bill Simmons into an ongoing TV gig… but c’mon mate, not everyone gets 81 put on them by Kobe!
