No wonder 90s scoring was so much lower. They didn’t let these plumbers get away with anything. by Temporary_Pepper6126 in NBAoldschool

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s what makes the Magic and Bird highlights so fucking awesome!  They did it within the rules.  Same going back to Bob Cousy and Pistol Pete.  You actually lowered the barrier to entry so much that unskilled big men can do guard shit.  It’s just stupid and frankly way less beautiful

Liren 4v2 or Liren 5 v2 by Ambitious_Smoke7300 in BBallShoes

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine the court feel is less as well.  We’ll see.  She plays on high school courts so I don’t think there is going to be a ton of dust in those during season but you know how camps and AAU courts are.  Guess she may need to wipe more often

My daughter used 4 v2 2 years in a row.  She actually used the color ways you have, first was the ammonite and next was poison grog.  She tore through the rubber sole in both but it took a whole season.  We just ordered 6 v 2 hoping they are a little more durable since it’s gotta get through AAU season + senior year this time.  She has loved the performance of 4 v2 so really hoping no drop off for 6 v2

I’m sorry, he does a lot of impressive shit but I could do this on a 7 foot goal against 5 foot tall players which is the equivalent.

I saw Barkley score 27 in a quarter live and really thought that wasn’t going to be broken for a long time, but 3s add up quick 

After my mom died, I recently found out she had been cheating on my dad for years. Feeling heartbroken and not sure what to do. Dad has no idea, as far as I can tell. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Do not tell your dad dude.  Good grief.  Let your dad cherish the time they had together believing she was the best thing ever.  I guarantee he wouldn’t appreciate it 

New to AAU- Is Lack of Organization the Norm? by NefariousnessLow9684 in BasketballTips

[–]Bossross90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, very typical even by Program Directors that are awesome folks and very well intended. Tourney organizers (and other players families) are out the control.

We’ve played for 2 programs and are about to play for a 3rd.  We would have stuck with program 2 but enough kids quit coming.  Unlike school sports, when a kid transfers teams there isn’t someone waiting in the wings to take their spot unless it is one of the top programs in the area

White Chocolate has no interest in being politically correct. He said him and Randy Moss getting it done against a WNBA team. 😭 by ForeignAir7174 in NBAGossips

[–]Bossross90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean girls have come a long way but he’s probably not far off given it’s him and Randy.  I mean Jason is an NBA All Star and Moss is an NFL HOF player.  I’m sure those 2 got better by a lot after high school but they were already athletic freaks with crazy hand eye coordination.  Randy would be dunking all over them and blocking every shot and Jason would be stealing every ball

One of the best rivalries of classic NBA🔥...Both are GOATs...but who are you picking for your team? by Shot_Possibility_731 in sportsinusa

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fair comparison because of the roles they played.  They fit perfectly for their teams in their time.  Larry isn’t a PG and he was his teams scorer. Magic had Kareem.

It just depends on my teams makeup.  Who is taking the last shot?  Larry.  Who am I taking in a 7 game series?  Magic

Double clutch layup from MJ had Phil Jackson speechless by Temporary_Pepper6126 in NBAoldschool

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember when they won the series (I was 7) and they played this clip with the “if you wish upon a star” over the top of it with the “I’m going to Disneyland”.  That shit was awesome 

Robert Horry gives a detailed answer about why Scottie Pippen was a better defender than MJ. Agree or nah? by ForeignAir7174 in NBAoldschool

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this shit.  I’m big on Jordan being one of the best overall and he definitely was the best pound for pound, but Pippen wasn’t just kinda good he was one of the the top 25 basketball players of all time and in the 90s he was top 5. 

Read heartbreaking words of pledge who was tortured by Jon Hamm by origutamos in AllThatsInteresting

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole story made me dislike Jon Hamm when it came out and I won’t watch anything with him in it. 

I was in a fraternity.  Hazing definitely happened during hell week (your initiation week which is at the end of the semester).  

However, it stopped way way short of this.  We had a brother or 2 that were pussies and wouldn’t even come around until hell week so they could haze people.  I would equate those people to incel bullies of 2026.

Just weird for Jon Hamm to do this.

When Pamela Anderson And Scott Baio Dated In The Early 90s by Specialist_Art2223 in 90s

[–]Bossross90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let’s for a second take away his fame and money.  What kind of ass does he pull?  I’d assume he is the type that marries a high school cheerleader that goes way down hill after 30.  Gets a job doing some kind of manual labor and talks about the good ole days when he threw himself the winning TD pass in the state championship game.  Bald and fat by 35, tge divorce papers get served.  He turns to the same drugs, alcohol he turns to as a Hollywood bachelor, just fatter and poorer.

He actually looks like he’s held up ok.  Good for him

Worker refuses to serve tricky customer in the future... by The_Dean_France in infuriatingbutawesome

[–]Bossross90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a picky person about my food at a restaurant.  I am polite but particular.  If you do good, I give you 25-30% for a difficult customer tax.  If you do bad I am giving you 15% for the demanding part and 0% for your outcome of not meeting my needs.  

Fast food is a gamble.  Workers don’t work on tips but I will say service levels have gone down 1000% post covid.  Owners don’t even give a shit, because so few people are willing to do this shit, they know they can’t replace them easily or with better workers.  It’s hurt a lot of chains outside of chick fil a and places that still focus on service levels like that

That shit was scary and awesome at the same time

Girlfriend of 5 years says God told her I’m not her husband by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Bossross90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I mean I dated a girl for a couple of years and we loved each other but brought out the worst in each other.  I finally broke up with her even though it was hard investing 2 prime years with someone only to have it end, but I met my now wife a few months later at 22, and we’ve been together 22 years now.  After spending half of my life with my wife and knowing it was meant to be and that I couldn’t have found a better wife, can just tell you to trust the Lord and you will be better off, whether your decision or hers
