4. Mike Dunleavy, Jr. Should go to Hell, Where He’s From

By: Corbin Smith (@corbinasmith) – BISCASTBALL

Mike Dunleavy, who played for Duke, which carries a perverse demon as its symbol, should go to hell, because he was born there. It is where he was taught to injure people and have an unnerving presence. He has been alive since 1500, his physical form dying and rebirthing in a new human body. He shot Archduke Ferdinand on the order of The Black Hand. He should go on vacation in hell and never return.

{Ed. note: This would certainly be somewhere warm!}

3. Kristaps Porzingis should go to the Jersey Shore

By Myles Ma (@mylesmanj)

Obviously, K-taps needs to bulk up. There’s a reason “Gym” comes first in GTL. If he doesn’t feel enough pressure from Knicks fans, the withering looks of tank-top wearing meatheads sipping their protein shakes on the boardwalk (as well as ready access to performance-enhancing drugs) will provide all the motivation he needs.

A few nights at the shore will also build his endurance. I’ve been to one bachelor party in my life. It was in Atlantic City, and we drank for what felt like 12 hours straight. By the time morning came, I was achy, dehydrated and hated women. I’ve been sick ever since. It’s been about two years. If Kristaps can deaden his soul as much as I have, he’ll have no trouble facing down the rabid New York City media.
