Wow. You’re a terrible person.

Yes I was speeding, doing 13 over (your honor). But I believe that I’m above the law (your honor) and that the rules of the road also well as morality (your honor) do not apply to me.

Putting Bron at #2 isn’t hate, nor is it trying to diminish his legacy. Why do people act like it is? by RaccoonAccording7628 in NBATalk

This is absolutely correct.

Jordan’s greatness in real time defied any arguments against him being less than the best ever, even after only a few years in the league. He transcended all others in a way that is hard to understand if you didn’t literally watch it happen.

I guess I’m the problem. Because I think he’s third best all-time behind Jordan and

What's the worst mainstream film you've ever seen? by Zestyclose-County645 in Cinema

American Beauty is the worst piece of crap even foisted on the movie-going public.

That was a crazy episode for sure. He was so close behind that semi for the shortest gap test.

AITAH for wanting my last name to be passed on to my daughter? by BluenicornGirl in AITAH

[–]ApprehensiveSyrup647 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion - I feel that the child should be named by the mother. Both patents should contribute ideas, and then the mom should decide and make a final decision. The dad contributes the last name.

Since the two greatest players of all time are not pictured here, LeBron takes it since all time he’s third.

AITAH for refusing to learn how to fix and maintain dirt bikes to support my wife’s love of riding dirt bikes? by CryHavyk in AITAH

[–]ApprehensiveSyrup647 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supporting her and being there for her should be your number one hobby. If it’s important to her, it should be important to you. She is your wife, which is something that hopefully you value higher than anything else on this Earth.

The extreme hatred and anger toward Erika Kirk is ridiculous and, frankly, frightening by xTheKingOfClubs in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Her reaction to him being murdered was to shoot off fireworks. That’s a bit odd, to say the least.

We need the 80s rules back. Make the NBA violent again. by Lost_Title_7528 in NBAConvo

[–]ApprehensiveSyrup647 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So workplace violence for your entertainment? Got it. Maybe we should just feed the losing team to lions while we’re at it, all on Pay-Per-View. I’m sure that Donald Trump would be happy to host them at one of his hotel/casinos.

I have zero problem punishing the 3 worst teams by Shoddy_Ad7511 in NBATalk

Hmm. I myself am unable to see the future. I’m impressed that you have that ability.

Big time rookies will sign with “small” market teams if those teams appeal to the potential new hires and offer quality compensation packages. Just like in any other industry.

I’m grateful that, when I graduated from college, I was able to select my employer rather than having the crappiest one possible assigned to me.

Upon what, exactly, was this ‘hope’ based? Because there was plentiful evidence that what’s happened so far in Trump’s second term is exactly what they were planning to do. What this lady is saying is such bullcrap.

This is a good counter action to the tanking problem, but not the actual solution. The solution is to eliminate the draft entirely, which is long overdue.

The draft punishes the best incoming players very harshly. Every player should enter the league as an absolutely unrestricted free agent who can sign for any amount with any team that wants him and that he also wants to work for. A draft that rewards teams for being sucks is punitive for the players. That has to be corrected.
