Facts! Still got the case . Found it at my
Pops crib a few months ago. Opened it up....and MLB 99 was in there

2K had a college game in 2007 with JJ Redick on the cover that was great. The 2008 one with Greg Oden just might be the best basketball game ever. Real talk.

Ariza is as good as prime Pippen was.

lol WUT

Speaking of WAllstar



Facts or fiction? Wall pops from DC....and John done embraced it fully. Woe was going up with Glizzy n Trel the other day in the club. That unity

I keep saying.....Wall is “one of us”. Like AI was.

Idk, Dummy Moe rey aint really ard with me after the pocket watching. Will the Thrill bynum is DC basketball to me

All solid points that I agree with, just don't see how trying to make examples out of NBA players benefits that cause

Of course he named his kid some form of ---ayden....that's the first play in the white mom mixed kids handbook.

Game is amazing. I played it for years myself. It’s the NFL 2K5 (TO $19.99 cover) of basketball games. Holy grail!

What’s wrong with calling a spade a spade?

My actual original point was that why is fine and okay for a both of dudes talking hoops on a message board to point out Tyler Johnson is a mediocore playing getting paid 20 million.

But once a female from the WNBA makes the same point, then its “she needs to go put her shirt back on and she’s going too far”

 

[antidope]

It's kinda messed up but I get why she did it. People have to know exactly what they mean. Brittany Griner is Anthony Davis to the league but she gets paid as if she’s a two way contract.

 

[second2nonee]

I feel like he was the first high level recruit in the Rick Barnes era, and the program just took off after that.

Of course you could argue KD is thr most important

yeah he was. only other recruit i remember before ford was like royal ivey lol

then after TJ he got guys like PJ tucker, Boobie Gibson, LMA. then KD and DJ Augistin, etc...

lol WUT

woosh

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If the public, specifically women think the WNBA women are being treated poorly and are actually a representation of the NBAs sexism, then the whole point of the WNBA is defeated, you should just shut the whole thing down.

But they're not being treated poorly tho, they're being treated accordingly. Public perception aside, where is the money to pay them more supposed to come from? And at that point how much is 'good' pr even worth when you're that deep in the hole just to put on airs. The whole thing should be shut down because it's not profitable if anything

but Brittney griner really be out here shirtless on these streets

Mark Price is also another "sneaky" good athlete.

letting lack of melanin blind them to obvious quickness.

Reminds me of an article that was posted here of the leagues sneakiest athletes. Nothing but white guys, and near the top of the list was Josh McRoberts. Lulz.

While on the subject though, Lou Will is probably the sneakiest athlete in the league.

The great ones would be great in any era.

Always gave dudes props for averaging 20+ ppg without a 3 point line. Especially in an era with damn near 30% fewer possessions per game.

They're basically peers, it's kind of uncalled for. I'd have an issue if it were a G League player vying for better treatment by comparison

You gotta do your own googles but she was on Snapchat like how I’d be on Snapchat if I had one

But they aren’t being treated as peers which is why Griner went down this route
