Short people have the short end of the stick. Short people can’t see at concerts, need to go up one step at a time, are discriminated against by girls on Tinder who have a “height requirement,” and can’t even enjoy the exhilarating rush of riding a roller coaster.

But there are some acts that defy height and make us re-evaluate the capabilities of our society’s little people. And today that came in the form of a monster block by 5’9” Isaiah Thomas on 6’1” Demarcus Cousins. Thomas is balling out this year, being named to the 2016 Eastern Conference All-Star team. He is just the ninth player who under 6 feet to be named an All-Star. What a goddamn inspiration.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
