I've been watching this video of Darren Rovell playing basketball against Kristaps Porzingis for a good 15 minutes now and I'm not sure what to make of it. It could just be a goofy video of a sports biz reporter and ardent brand enthusiast playing hoops against a towering NBA player. Or it could be a warning sign, visual proof of the first cogs and springs flying out of Darren Rovell, human-cyborg relations.

For instance:

Now, what is happening here? Kristaps has a good first step, don't get me wrong, but Rovell's body ripples and reacts like a pond someone just threw a rock into. It lurches uncomfortably backward and forward like my brain trying to adjust for inflation. It's like he's the only one on the planet who felt an earthquake.

I don't know what to make of any of it. I just hope Darren is okay.
