This is the tweet in question. Apparently he's quoting lyrics from Biggie. However, Ta-Nehisi Coates has a good explanation on why we shouldn't ever say it, even when singing songs.

At least Peter Vecsey found a way to get people to talk about him again!

Vecsey's such a piece of garbage. A 74 yr old guy fighting with people on Twitter and using the n-word while quoting Biggie lyrics to try and stay relevant. Sad.

He's really good. They had him on the "Hinkie Special" for 3 years, so some of that money is probably back-pay.

The Kings are an absolute mess - down by 30 at halfime to Atlanta. George Hill is the early front-runner for worst contract of the summer.

We get pissy when Dudley gets 10 minutes. Can you imagine being a Kings fan and watching them play Hill, Randolph, and sometimes Vince Carter over their young guys? I said it earlier, Dave Joerger is the worst coach in the league now.

How did that happen? I thought he was a hot shot when he was with the Grizzlies?

That's part of the problem, he thinks he's a hot shot. In reality his rotations are god awful and he routinely gets out coached. I don't think their roster should have only three wins and the worst differential in the league (-13.6) by over three points!

It's insane that they're somehow worse than the Bulls, who probably have the second worst coach in the league. At least the Bulls roster is a steaming pile of garbage for the most part. Yet, Skal gets 7 minutes, Fox 19, and Hield 21 in a 46 point loss to the Hawks. This place would be on fire if that was Bender, Jackson and Chriss in a blowout loss, and rightfully so.

Embiid is unreal. That euro-step? Shouldn't be possible at his size.

That is insane. That fan base must be livid. If there are any left that care at this point. They have had it rough for a long while.

If he stays healthy he’s going to be really really special.

Anyone remember me hyping up John Collins and calling him the steal of the draft? He's averaging 10 & 7 in 21 minutes for ATL on 52% shooting. Not too bad so far. He's only 20 too. I think he's going to be a pretty good PF in this league for a long time.

Since 1973-74.

Let's be realistic - Wilt led the league in assists in 1967-68. He had a 20/20/20 game that year. He probably did this at least once, if not several times.

he has indeed been playing well. what will be interesting to see is how he would play in a starting role, his motor is incredible and right now he clearly comes off the bench just trying to rebound n blk everything while not worrying about foul trouble.

Denver put 146 on NOP last night, so I guess we aren't the only ones giving up video game score. At least for us it was Houston.

I thought it was 47 but just came here to say that. Warriors down 22 at the half.
