NewBluntsworth Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Well, at least now maybe the Warriors won't make the mistake of letting Jordan Poole walk so they can pay declining Draymond. I was worried for a minute there but Draymond came through in the clutch. Hope he enjoys Charlotte or LA or wherever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seight Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 At this point what can be said about the Brooklyn Nets that hasn't already been said about a slowly collapsing empty building? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Props to LeBron from scoring the most career points in the NBA. But MJ is still the GOAT. I said what I said. Suck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to say you're the greatest of all-time, especially when you've been known to whine and complain about crappy foul calls like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, you're not the GOAT. Sorry. That said, LeBron James is easily a first-ballot Hall of Famer, in my opinion. Edited February 8, 2023 by hornedlizardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdog Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Well, yeah. The GOAT argument is stupid because you can't truly appraise players from different eras, and you certainly can't appraise players in different positions. I don't think anything LeBron is doing can possibly compare or take away from what MJ accomplished or Kobe after him. And none of those guys cold do what the best centers could do in their respective times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anything LeBron is doing can possibly compare or take away from what MJ accomplished or Kobe after him. And none of those guys cold do what the best centers could do in their respective times. Which is a fair point. I hate the argument as well, to be completely honest. I mean in terms of MJ and Kobe, they had pretty much identical playing styles because Kobe sought to emulate MJ. (Plus, their careers did have some overlap. Same thing with Kobe and LeBron, though LeBron's game is different as well.) The point is I guess it can be fun to have the argument, but ultimately, we should just sit back and appreciate what we're watching. (Now how someone reacts to adversity is definitely worth talking about, but we can talk about that later.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Is this the only NBA thread we have? Ok, well I was waiting for someone else to do this because I didn't want to make a thread but I guess I'll just dump this here out of context and hope someone has something to say.... As far as my opinion goes, if he made the age of consent, idgaf.....As long as it's not my daughter, I don't care since apparently the parents, the coach, and no one besides randos on the Internet care....Dude isn't even hiding...like he already got the ok from someone that will keep his nuts out tge fire. I grew up in a state where consent could be given at 14, you could marry a 13 year old as long as the parents were cool with it, and I would say at least 100 girls popped out babies while I was in highschool. I'm not saying it isn't sick and depraved...I cant look at 21 year olds without feeling like an old creep....The 30 year old I dated a few years back seemed like a child to me, but it's Oklahoma and he's a working part of the Thunder's shitty machine. No amount of outrage is going to make him pay any real consequences. And if they prove he was fucking her at 15, then I hope they lock his ass up....but I doubt it.

scoobdog Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I’m not going to comment on depravity since the most I’ve actually seen beyond reports of an investigation is the screengrab you posted. I think it’s still comparable to Elvis and Priscilla in the sense that typical power dynamics don’t always apply in non sexual relationships, so there’s certainly room for this to be not abusive. But, if they did have sex, it’s pretty clear cut abuse regardless of consent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'd like to add one thing even though it should be a given: It's just plain creepy, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s going to be an unbalanced relationship because they’re in two different places in their development, and that would inevitably lead to the older of the two harboring unmet needs. These relationships are never on equal footing, which is where the creepiness comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
