Our friend Amin Elhassan went negatively viral with his jump shot, but it’s only made him stronger.

Many a fraught topic discussed in this one, including whether it’s easier to say things now vs. the recent past. Subjects include but aren’t limited to…

* Amin’s crazy co-workers argued that Michael Jordan lacked charisma

* Amin’s moment as Internet main character, based on a jump shot

* Ben Bolch of the LA Times becomes main character over calling LSU women’s team “Dirty Debutantes,” and something about hot sauce? What happened here?

* Don’t search “Dirty Debutantes” on a work computer

* Is the Basketball Race War good for society?

* Caleb Williams’ Nail Polishgate

* Is the younger generation of athletes more into Williams’ style of personal expression?

* Male feminist writers aren’t helping women’s sports when getting too defensive on behalf of players
