I'm not 19 trying to fuck a 13 year old and I never have been-- it's absurd for you to attack me personally based on this conversation.

Malone was guilty of statutory rape, clearly. Sex between teenagers also clearly is not an act of pedophilia, if you consult a fucking dictionary.

I'm not walking shit back. The personal attacks are uncalled for.

Look at this sick fuck trying to rewrite and generalize it as "sex between teens".. This is sick shit. This aint "sex between teens" you purposely obtuse bitch!!! Its a grown ass 19/20 year old man fucking a got dam 13 year old CHILD!!! This is pedo behavior AND rape!!

 

[REDLINE]

19 or 20 no difference.. That sick bastard really tried to rationalize and reframe that shit.

One difference is that his argument stating that they’re both in their teens doesn’t work.

Also 19 is horrible and 20 is pathetically worse, it’s a difference to some but I feel you.

Regardless he’s sick for defending and trying to rationalize it.

Julius Erving names his Top 10 players of all time

Julius Erving is one of the best players ever to play the game of basketball. He is rarely considered among the very best, but he didn't shy away from giving his own Top 10 list.

In an interview with Joy DeAngela, Erving named the top 10 players he thinks are the best in basketball history.

"I have five guys who are untouchable - Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor.," he began. "That's my all-time best team. Everybody else has to be on the second team or the third team, and I made this decision when I was 15 years old. I'm sticking with it now all these years later."

"There is no order. I think West and Robertson would be in the backcourt. Elgin Baylor would be in the frontcourt with Wilt and Bill Russell," he explained his reasoning behind the Top 10 list. "The next group of guys would be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Ervin 'Magic' Johnson, probably Karl Malone."

Erving struggled to name the last player on his top 10 list.

"I always argue with my son [about] where Tim Duncan belongs, and he's like, 'He belongs ahead of Karl Malone for sure.' I'm taking Karl Malone and that last position... I like Tiny Archibald," Erving surprised the host.

When asked why current players like Stephen Curry are not on his list, Erving provided his own argument.

"He hasn't played long enough. He has to finish his career. Everybody I named there, their careers are finished," the Hall of Famer said.

I think this might be yet another made-up viral quote.

I see actual video for the quote below but I’m not seeing him say what he allegedly said.

"In the history of the NBA. Four times. Where one player has won the scoring title, won the regular season MVP, was a first-team defensive player, led the playoffs in scoring, and won MVP in the NBA Finals. All five things. It’s only happened four times in the NBA. Do you know who the four players to do it were? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, Jordan and Jordan.”​

​

“No. 2, if you own a pair of Jordans or have a pair of Jordans, stand up.” Responding to this, a lot of people in the crowd stood up. After this, Grover said: “If you have a pair of LeBrons on, stand up.”​

Watch-Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant’s trainer challenges LeBron James’ GOAT status with threefold argument

If there is one debate that the NBA cannot settle on, it is about who the GOAT is between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Here is the source credited in the viral tweet:


There is a 45 minute video embedded, conveniently with no time stamp. I skimmed through and didn’t see the clip in the above article.

I suspect the shit is a fabrication. I see not one person on Twitter questioning it.

Edit: Nope, he said that dumb shit:



(Still terrible “journalism”— This shit should have been in the original “article.”)

A Los Angeles Clippers player was arrested for gun possession in L.A. on Sunday following a routine traffic stop.

According to a report from TMZ, shooting guard/forward Amir Coffey was taken into custody after police pulled over a speeding car in which he was the passenger.

Officers claimed they smelled marijuana while approaching the vehicle, prompting them to search it.

The search produced a loaded gun.

Coffey is reported to have admitted that the weapon was his and was subsequently arrested for misdemeanor possession of a firearm. Another person was cited for marijuana.

The player was booked into jail around 5:05 AM on the day and was released a few hours later on his recognizance. He is due to appear in court for a hearing in August.


The 26-year-old has played 181 games for the Clippers over the past four seasons, having joined the team in 2019. He’s averaged 5.5 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists throughout his career in Los Angeles.

He's not good enough to do this

I can't say I'll miss him

but how long do they think Doc Rivers is going to be there. He's probably going to be gone next off season.
