@MajiinMurk@safeerahsan@RaptorsLead Dude nobody fucking cares about Drake.
You don't get to hop on the game's broadcast, talk shit about the state of the team, disrespect a franchise legend, and then call yourself an ambassador. He's been nowhere to be seen in the 2nd half of the season and, again, nobody cares.
@AVGdeadlock@MeleeCreepsDL For someone who, in that recent interview, was going on about "being average but making it through sheer force of will and perseverance", you sure proved the opposite yesterday.
@FatteningOfSen@LonePiggyGames What do you expect from someone who can't come up with an original game concept...
(Ftr i know people like to make tribute games and some are quality and are made with passion, but that will be increasingly rare as AI usage is normalised)
@Hali Tony's a real one ! Mad respect for the guy.
The clip of him imitating your shot is easily one of the funniest documented player/ref interactions of all time @Hali
@DougFisherMD@BleacherReport Actual players in the league are applauding the interaction. There's nothing wrong with refs occasionally sending back A MERE FUCKING FRACTION of the same energy they get comin at them on a daily basis. It's called being human.
@ToddAmlin@BleacherReport The refs aren't the ones giving out fines, you idiot. Coaches and players know they're not supposed to challenge the league's credibility publically. It's counter-productive to everyone in the chain. Refs take unconceivable amounts of abuse every game from everyone involved.
@RixhTrapper@XCWarrior1@PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite Yeah Nunn is nice but you're kinda proving my point: the top international talent is pushing great american players out of league. Could Nunn have had a nice NBA career? Maybe. But he could never have been MVP in the NBA. I respect your opinion though, can tell your a hoops fan.
@itsflawless19@PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite I see what you're saying, but when it comes to the NBA, the rise of international talent and the rising popularity of the league outside NA is the reason why the salaries are so high. Everybody eating good when the talent is diversified.
@XCWarrior1@PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite To be fair though euros are some of the best floppers. Vlade Divac is like the godfather of flopping, and you got guys like Luka who struggle not to accumulate 26 (!) techs per season for arguing calls, which is essentially part of the same problem.
@RixhTrapper@XCWarrior1@PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite Ok now look at the top 4 MVP candidates, and who won MVP in the last decade. American players are not dominating the sport anymore. The NBA has been consistantly putting forward intl talent since the 90s -- this is the result. If you actually enjoy bball, it's a beautiful thing.
@maxprod365 @PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite Yo preach. International players have been running the league. Meanwhile, half the best american players finds themselves in some kind of controversy. B.Miller w/ the murder case, Ja with his gun fetish, Zion and Ant with the babymama shit. None of that is Nike's fault.
@PaperboyPrince@j1218_@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite If you americans don't respect the talent, that's your headass loss. Have you considered that the american market isn't even the problem? There's like a dozen NBA guys signed to chinese brands, and their gear's reasonably priced. If I'm chinese, i'm probably copping Kai's shoes.
@ManOfAuthencity@PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite Ja's got an arguably terrible image and still manages to find new waya to fumble the bag. A lot of people dislike Tatum for a few different reasons. Banchero deservedly has critics blaming him for Orlando's underperformance. Let's not pretend this new wave of signings is all hits
@PaperboyPrince@TheNBABase@WindhorstESPN@hoopstonite Jokic is a generational talent and the current best player in the league, perhaps in the world. On top of that, he's a genuine, humble, relatable dude. If we're not promoting this guy, we're failing as a fanbase and the NBA is failing as an org. Besides, he's not even on Nike.
@Blackwolfbear@40URTY That's on you cousin, you just aren't doing any research. It's not like you had to do backflips. They had their tracks in snowboard and skateboard movies, and as much production credits for famous hip hop acts thanany other prolific producer. Dilla, Pete Rock, Preemo, same convo.
@shockaslim@TheQuestions15 So incredibly casual. Beatnuts not only have their own classics, they produced for just about every relevant name outta NY from that era. Do your goddamn research.
