THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[lawdog1]

@amitt5504 @buc em relax guys, we are on the same team. Now do a virtual hand shake.

All handshakes are out. Bows only now...

I get what Bill is saying in the sense that like Dennis Rodman himself doesn't have any particular deep thoughts about why he did the things he did, so when interview Rodman himself he doesn't have particularly interesting thoughts about his motivations.

His life is undeniably interesting but I can see thinking like Rodman's thoughts about his life or analyzing why he did the things he did is not particularly interesting.

I felt kinda the same way about the Ric Flair doc, Ric Flair doesn't really have deep/ interesting thoughts about his own identity and life story.

Rodman's locker room comments on Larry Bird in '87 probably soured Bill Simmons' view on The Worm ever since that moment.

The fact Rodman doesn’t have any deep introspection/reasoning for how he is makes him more interesting to me, actually.

But what’s interesting and what isn’t to people is very subjective.

He is really not ready for his 15 minutes to be up.

Banging Carmen & Pamela in their primes is very, VERY interesting to me.

At the time it happened I was really bothered by it, but mainly because I hated that Pistons team as a kid. I don’t really care anymore. But I guess some people really do. LOL.

Understandably so. When you hate a team, you look for anything to hold against them.
It's just weird cause these guys were literally out there knocking each other out, only for people to get upset over a handshake.
Some of the guys who complain about guys being friends and too buddy buddy just look funny in the light being upset over a handshake lol.

 

[friscostylez]

I have always thought it's dope how him & Zeke have a relationship mainly based on sharing the same name (iirc)

 

[storm2006]

Damn @buc em taking Ls all over the place today

What makes that different from any other day he posts on NT?

 

[lawdog1]

Banging Carmen & Pamela in their primes is very, VERY interesting to me.

Madonna was still looking pretty good when he had her too.

 

[pmatic]

This is a pretty cool video of Rodman explaining the triangle offence. Now can someone explain to me why it's not working today? Shouldn't it be more effective since everyone on the team is now expected to know how to shoot a basketball?

Among other things, it neuters the PG position and leads to many post ups and mid-range jumpers.

To go with that, the Triangle is dependent on reading and reacting (chemistry) and the roster turnover in today's NBA climate, it isn't a wise offense to install.

to apply as a small business? When you’rea billion dollar organization?

Toni Braxton and Vivica A Fox too

Word , his 90's baddie resume is Jeteresque

Could you imagine James Harden trying to play against the bad boy Pistons in late 80s NBA.

He's used to getting fouled. Would be fine.

Yah ultimately, I enjoy all the Rodman stories.

But I can understand how Simmons could come to that conclusion especially if you've heard all the stories before.

Which is fascinating because he was like the polar opposite to Jeets in terms how they conducted themselves

 

[nelson999]

They weren't calling fouls on the nonsense touches that put him at the line in today's game.

What would be the point in imagining that?

Yeah, my issue is more with how Simmons phrased what he said.

If he personally doesn’t find Rodman interesting, I get that. But he doesn’t get to tell everyone else that they’re just “pretending” to think the Worm is interesting. He’s not the arbiter of what is or isn’t interesting for anyone but himself.

 

[MajinZuub]

What would be the point in imagining that?

People are obsessed with the "what if ___ played in the ___ era" and think they know what would happen so certainly

I find it dumb and pointless. It's like going to weird lengths to discredit players

 

[QU!K]

Wth does Gelo need representation for?

Roc Nation got Jeremy Lin a contract in China
