This will be my first actual post, and all other posts will fall short of it, I’m sure:

Getting married and having kids is the greatest decision I have ever made. The love you give to and receive from your family is unlike anything else you can experience in life.

Socialism is an economic and political system where the the government owns and controls the major means of production.

So, the same entity running the post office in the US, would be responsible for everything.

Anyone who supports this does not have sound judgement.

@eatinerni In n out

@Jim95003684 @Oracleofsounds @LakersFilm Pacers, 76ers, and Nets

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@LakersFilm So did this team

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@HeroDividend I always thought these things fried without oil

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

Because that logic would suggest guards are automatically better because they usually do more things, better shooters, better dribblers, etc….

tony parker and manu were more versatile than Duncan… but I would never say they were better basketball players than Duncan…

because I think being 6’11” and coordinated matters and impacts the game more than a 6’3” player with a better shot or better handles…

@RKSMomma @Dadsaysjokes Her reaction is too delayed to catch the ball

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

Basketball arguments get weird when we treat “better player” like a checklist of skills…

Duncan may have had more variety, but if Shaq’s size, strength, and athleticism made him more dominant and harder to stop, that counts too….

the goal isn’t to win a skills competition…. it’s to impact winning… that makes Shaq the better basketball player

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@BeGreatBryson @HawkEmDownChris but the question is who is a better basketball player… not who is more reliable over the long term

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

We should’ve beat pistons even though they were really good… Malone was hurt and underproduced… Payton wasn’t the same player especially in the triangle offense, which isn’t great for point guards generally… too much reliance on Kobe and Shaq, who had a bad relationship… it just felt like the team was ready to disband before the freaking series was over… a disappointment for sure

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@BeGreatBryson @HawkEmDownChris Make this make sense… if I’m putting a squad together, I’m picking prime Shaq over prime Duncan

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@HawkEmDownChris @uscfan981 Magic … it became his first name

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@YourBoiBWB227 @LakersFilm 🤣

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@AbokwaraCHRIZ @HawkEmDownChris Funny how we agree, but responded with different answers 😂 I guess it depends on how you interpret the question

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@FastbreakHoops5 MJ is the correct answer

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@hedgeguy78 @HawkEmDownChris I think so to…. But then it goes back to does better player mean better career or just straight up who you’d pick in their prime.

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@BeGreatBryson @HawkEmDownChris True lol .. Shaq is a better basketball player tho

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@hedgeguy78 @HawkEmDownChris I think best careers is different than best players. If you’re making a squad, who is on it.

I’m not picking Tim Duncan over Shaq.

[Dean Seriously @deanseriously]

@BeGreatBryson @HawkEmDownChris You realize LeBron isn’t actually a King, Kobe isn’t actually a venomous snake, and Durant isn’t actually a spider, right?
