You can't appreciate a player like Kobe unless you watched him on a nightly basis. You just can't. LeBron is the opposite. On a nightly basis he's not that impressive but on paper he's eventually gonna be in the goat conversation. People laugh at the Nash/Dwight team but that was a legacy defining season for Kobe in the same way this past year was for Steph. Kobe will always be 'better' than LeBron to me

Scenario analysis on Magic Johnson taking down people's mom's is PEAK offseason.
Bruh. Just when I think the wildness has peaked, thread outdoes itself.

Monday: Discussions about Dell Curry’s semen.

Tuesday: geno90221 geno90221 revealing he was on the verge of smashing a thick white woman but instead he went through her library of photographs of Shannon Sharpe smashing thick white women.

Wednesday: Folks discussing and predicting which poster’s mother/aunties had sexual relations with Magic Johnson.

I’m thinking that there can’t possibly be another level to the shenanigans.

It’s Thursday blud, your week going ok? :lol
 

I'm assuming this doesn't include the players right? I wonder how the other teams will go about this.
Following up on this, and I don't follow football but it seems wild over there and they're just letting people do whatever.





Wonder what the NBA is gonna do.
 
I get it, but at 60? Like, who's out there looking,

Not saying this is applicable to everyone post-divorce, but I've worked with a lot of older dudes during my time in high finance. A lot of them went through divorce during their late 50's early 60's. They were pretty wealthy guys, and once the divorce settled--They got away from their spouse of 25+ years and started dating women half their age. Going on trips, messing with high-end escorts, throwing wild parties etc.

Side story: I used to work right next to the Conrad Hotel in downtown NYC. One of my MD's was going through a NASTY divorce. After the dust settled, homie was really going through the motions. Him and I ended up being really tight. So, he started dating this 25 yr old (I was in my early 20's). She told him her friend was interested in tagging along one night, but he needed to bring a friend. Homie invited me, and we went on this helicopter ride at night around NYC. End of the night, my MD got all this bud and coke and threw a party in his room. I never did coke ever my life, but have been around it. MD eventually tells me to bounce with the chick and gives me a hotel key card for a room down the floor 😆

I was pretty surprised to see this myself, as I thought "Who would be doing that kinda **** at 60", but you'd be surprised man. A lot of these dudes married the first girl that said yes to them, kept them in a ball and chain throughout their marriage, kids finally grew up and left the crib, and the couple got the divorce.

Kinda typical from my observations actually.

IIRC the NBA thread once included a multi-page discussion of what sex acts dudes would perform on other men for what amount of money. There is no floor.

This dude has been openly anti-vax on Twitter.
The league isn't playing games with the unvaccinated or outbreaks. There's been a few coaches fired for not getting it. There will be a dumb amount of fines and quarantines for the unvaccinated.

Not to thread derail but it’s a lot more critical in the NFL because they play fewer games . So the difference between a 5-day quarantine beginning on a Tuesday vs. a Wednesday could be crucial. Then you got folks like Cam Newton who might lose their starting spot because they didn’t get the vaccine then the backup came out flourishing.

We also saw how it affected the NBA with players like Schröder. I’m waiting to see how either league reacts when it’s a household name.
