Wasn't worthy of being posted to get her clicks for that shit
I love the let's not forget people, as if they're saying some original shit.
The shit is dangerous when you convict people off accusations and not convictions.
Shit Rudy probably top 5 post playerJa or Booker
AD
Jokic
Joel
Drummond
Rudy
maybe Im overlooking a player or two
But I’m also a person who don’t like the way they forcing true centers out....
I understand analytics and those longer looks are always available to the bigs but fuck
ps. I haven’t paid enough attention to NBA games, that I’d be able to answer another reply after your next quote
Wasn’t worthy at all, I’m hoping there’s a backlash.
I was watching that shit and the fake outrage
Dude was trying his best to call him a bitch and pussy without using those words.
So now we're supposed to pretend there isn't a difference in the genders.
no
but then just be a "man"
and call him a bitch and a pussy
cause all he did was look and sound foolish and become a target for that side
at the WORST time
when we all out here celebrating Black fathers with daughters RIP Kobe
saying this dude acting like a punk makes him "feminine"?
breaking a unwritten rule in bball aint feminine
its weak.
and I aint talking about lifting weights.
Washington Post Cancels Controversial Suspension Of Reporter Who Retweeted Kobe Bryant Article
Would the Twitterverse have become enraged if a male reporter had retweeted an article about Kobe Bryant's sexual assault allegations as fans were processing the shocking news of the basketball great's untimely death instead of the Washington Post's Felicia Sonmez?

The Washington Post reversed its controversial decision to suspend reporter Felicia Sonmenz over her Retweet of a 2016 Daily Beast story about the sex assault allegations against Kobe Bryant after he died Sunday in a helicopter crash.
Post Managing Editor Tracy Grant called Sonmez's Tweets "ill-timed" though they weren't in "clear and direct violation" of the paper's social media policy, which appears to need revision. It was ridiculous that she got suspended in the first place.
According to Sonmez, she felt compelled to remind the Twitterverse about the accusations against Bryant, given the overwhelmingly positive comments from
Today In: Business
grieving fans on the social media site. She didn't comment on the Daily Beast story in her Retweet and was surprised by the backlash that resulted.
"Because The Post does have policies governing these things, all I did was tweet out a link to the story," she told The New York Times. "I didn't think it was my place to provide any further commentary."

Nonetheless, her action struck legions of Bryant's fans on Twitter as unfair to Bryant's family because prosecutors dropped the criminal case against him. Bryant, though, settled a civil lawsuit over the 2003 incident in Colorado. He issued a public apology to the victim, saying: "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did."
If Sonmez were a man, the reaction to her Retweet might have been much different given the pervasive online harassment of female journalists.
A 2018 survey by TrollBusters and the International Women's Media Forum found that about 2 out of 3 respondents reported being threatened or harassed online at least once. Slightly more said they had physical threats or harassment. Even more depressing was the 40 percent who avoided specific stories as the result of being harassed.
A study in the academic journal Feminist Media Studies found that articles written by women in the U.K's Guardian newspaper attracted a higher percentage of blocked comments than those written by men regardless of the subject matter.
"This effect was heightened when the articles ran in a particularly male-dominated section of the site (like sports)," according to the 2018 study, which examined 70 million reader comments.
Pointing out unpleasant facts about a beloved athlete who died at the prime of his life isn't going to win a reporter any popularity contests. It's appalling that Somnez felt so threatened that she reportedly checked into a hotel. It also was heartening to see her colleagues at the Post rally to her side.
Interestingly, many of the tributes to Bryant are avoiding much discussion of his strained relationship with his mother and father, even though it is an important part of his life's story. According to the U.K.'s Sun newspaper, Bryant was "desperately trying to reconcile with his parents" at the time of his death.
Too bad that's no longer possible.
I want Sexton off the team. It seems like people will blame him for every single thing. I don't understand,why he gets so much hate from fans but fans will ride for a dude that's trying to force his way off the team.
Sexton was in a no win situation due to Porter's stupidity but fuck the facts I guess...

Brandon Ingram over Booker?
Bruh Really
Yes really. I meant Booker tho. Beal shoulda made it too in East.
Both more deserving than Ingram.
There are folks who want them to get rid of "East" and "West" reserve selections and just pick 14 players now regardless of conference.
What’s sad is, that he would’ve been better off calling him a “Bitchass nigga”.
I didn't say the n-word was necessary.
punk sucker or buster would have been acceptable
If you lived in the same senior home as her, you'd be telling the other folks at bingo "When she say shut up - I be quiet. But when she leave, I be talking again."

Seriously, in the week where #girldad was the top hashtag in the U.S. for an entire day or more, that was an especially ignorant comment. There are a lot of women who are tougher than a lot of men. And you all seem to forget that he said that dumb shit at work while representing his employer. If your masculinity rests on disrespecting women, something is wrong with you.
I like this. It'll be interesting if it is close through three. I'm gonna try to watch, which would be the first time for me in at least 5 years.
It's funny because i've been in that situation(obviously not in the NBA) and I'm sure I did the same type of movements. It looks funny and maybe dumb but shit mentally you're trying to figure out how the hell you're going to guard two dudes at one time and also HOW IN THE HELL you ended up in this predicament in the first place. Shout out to Colin for being there cuz his teammates sure weren't.
And I'm out of fucks to give in terms of watching the Allstar game. Ben Simmons over Spencer Dinwiddie
I'm a Sixers fan for life and I'm still pissed. Ben has been balling lately while Joel is out. Spencer been balling all season while both Kyrie and KD has been out. Another player who's hard work isn't rewarded because he isn't as popular as someone else. This whole thing is a popularity contest.
ok I hear ya

I dont know man... Theres been bigger snubs then Simmons over Dinwiddie. I find that both guys are deserving, one guy made the cut and the other one couldnt. Its like that every year.
Yea he was ON last night... On the other hand, Mitchell's snowflake ass costs me money.
That's very true. My issue with this snub in particular is the message that it send both players.
For Dinwiddie it's like, "Am I doing something wrong?" Which he isn't. He balling his ass off this season and some nights is single-handedly keeping the Nets relevant.
For Simmons it's like, "I guess my game is where it should be since I keep making the allstar team." Which it isn't cause allstars shouldn't be afraid to shoot the ball. Maybe not making the team this year after making it last year could have shown Ben that he needs to evolve his game some more.
18 assists, 39 points, and damn near perfect from the field .... cotdamn Trae!
Those are NBA2K numbers.

Really appreciated
I'm looking for the lakers football practice clip
Come on man. You sound like a fucking fool right now.
How? Zion has played 4 fucking games! FOUR! I'm not even saying Zion shouldn't be there it's been widely seen that MPJ has been fucking balling and for more than 4 gotdamn games and he's been the reason for more than 4 victories already. He deserves a seat at the table. Nothing foolish about it.
