The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[WASHED KING]

Predictable.

Washed when he’s in his “chaos agent bag”

Where would Kobe be without the benefit of playing with Shaq for the beginning of his career and the Laker Brand?

Y’all think I’m reaching but am I really?

 

[WASHED KING]

She got swaggerless taste. Peep how homie rocs his kicks, hooping or not, that is gross

I lied. The boots are still here. Just refined.

Can’t believe people in here worship Malika smh.

 

[Platinum State]

Nah Malika. It was supposed to be us.

 

[youngwolf]

Proximity will always be undefeated.

 

[king j]

Give me Jrue’s career

 

[bonde111]

Anyone know what Bron is wearing on his feet here?

 

[Blue Mamba]

That was a fun era man. It was cool seeing so many people wearing Lebron’s, Kobe’s, KD’s, etc. during a great time to watch the league. I think I stopped paying attention to shoe culture sometime after 2018 when everything turned into hype collabs and needing to jump through so many hoops on apps to win a pair of shoes.

I knew the sneaker game passed me by when sneakernews had a best shoe of all time tournament and the Weatherspoon Air Max 1 97’s beat the South Beach Lebron 8’s by a wide margin

Chill, those 1/97s are . The SB 8s should've been left in 2010.

 

[Moheezy]

Nah Malika. It was supposed to be us.

The way she covered young black athletes before she got called out, is this a surprise?

These, but not sure what they are. Crocs-looking slide/mule/clog/slip-on:

They’re nice don’t get me wrong, but the SB 8’s were super influential for the times

South beaches are better

The 11s never fit me well. So I chose not to hoop in them, rather than become an abuser like Mr. Malika.

 

[ballinsam23]

Retro jordans in general arent good hoop shoes. Too bulky.

Only ones I liked on the court were 10s and 14s.

Proximity will always be undefeated.

"Don't **** where you eat", yeah aight. You do that.

 

[Moheezy]

That Lakers city jersey is really clever



Pistons going back to the 90s colors makes too much sense



I like the direction of the Rockets jerseys, they should lean in more to the astronaut theme



That OKC native theme should be their full time theme. Love love love the city jerseys

It is simultaneously true that proximity is a relationship catalyst and that workplace romances/hook-ups generally are a bad idea.

 

[wavycrocket]

Seems like the most toxic dudes hype Tory just because. I'm not hearing what they hear.

Don't disagree, but it's case by case. Work is still where a lot of married couples meet aside from friends and online.



Personal toxic opinion though, if your work has a crazy unusual volume of baddies and you're young, you're a saint for never taking a shot.
