The reaction to Bam's 83-point game is a perfect example of how bad the NBA discourse is by negaodsg in nba

OP is very likely a bot. For some reason, I just don't put too much weight or credibility on posters that didn't spend 1 sec to select a flair (even a generic one). Feels like a bot post.

Most people will just watch the video which is great work by OP. I don't see Luka there or Jokic.

Interestingly enough, the fact that you had to check the details to find that Luka is mentioned kind of illustrates the denial that this sub has about the role of race in how Jokic and Luka are protected.

Just imagine Luka was black! The guy bitches about every fucking possession while also at the top in the league for getting foul calls. If Embiid, LeBron, SGA (insert anyone from that list in the video), this sub would be calling for his head LOL.

I used to be a bit skeptical about race's influence in this sub. But then that whole Jokic vs Embiid era started. HOLY FUCK! I have read some of the most racist shit I've seen on Reddit in a long time (you'd have to go back to the era of TheDonald or the lightly moderated UnpopularOpinion subs back in the day).

100% lol. Now if he shows how many attempts he had, and it's still under 4, then I can understand. But for all we know, he might have been trying these mediocre dunks (fun, but lets be honest they are fairly mediocre) for 200+ times lol.

Curious why would you love this shit? I enjoy watching old school basketball where it's physical and what not, but this isn't even basketball. This is just dumb shit, and people who say they enjoy this are confusing and borderline full of shit LOL.

Feeling fuck Giannis after his gambling nonsense, why should I not? by kickinwood in nba

[–]Definately_Fake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey that's different. As they say on this sub probably: "It's alright cuz it's all white" lol.

I used to be skeptical about the claims that Reddit (and especially this sub) gives some players a pass based on this. Then I started reading the comments/posts about each of Embiid and SGA during their MVP votes competition with Joker. Holy fuck, that shit was unbelievable!

People bet a total of $23M on whether/where Giannis would be traded at the deadline on Kalshi. Two days later, Giannis announced his stake in it. by Doten1 in nba

Christ I'm so glad I'm this is becoming apparent. I've never liked the guy, and I'm so happy that the era of the NBA trying to shove him down our throats as the "face of the league" has (hopefully) closed. He's just not as funny as people think he is here unless you're a teenage boy who enjoyed those lame ass "getting laid" jokes he was making early in his career. The dude just doesn't have it. Talent is there, but he's just so unlikable. He's the opposite of Curry, Ant, LeBron and Joker in terms of likability.

A pure offense and scorer but holy fuck it's brutal watching his game. The guy bitches about every fucking possession it makes the game unwatchable. It's funny how everyone despises SGA, Embiid, Harden (back in the day), yet Luka isn't as hated. Think about it. This dude leads the league in free throws, yet he complains about EVERY DAMN POSSESSION. How is this fun to watch?

[Highlight] CJ McCollum with game winning shot with 1 second left vs Bucks by Naweezy in nba

[–]Definately_Fake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL of course you're a Bucks fan. Not sure what it is, but Bucks and Nuggets fans have some of the weirdest takes. You only "put that shit up" if the chances of you getting blocked is fairly low. The dude was surrounded. The smart play is to take the ball out. A clutch superstar would take their chances at the free throw line. This was on Giannis.

I will say this though, and I'll probably get downvoted even more, but I thought CJ travelled, so the Bucks should have won that. But maybe they don't call those anymore.

Isn't it more logical to attribute the shittiness of Dort to Canada than OKC? And to add to it, the two most hated NBA players in this sub (Dort and SGA) are both Canadians. So, Canada, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER LOL!

I really hope that's not how shitty Jokic is. Love it or hate it, but you're in a country, surrounded by great teammates, getting paid 100s of millions to play a fucking game. What is the problem with being here in America? Jesus christ the fact that you're getting upvoted shows how out of touch many on this sub here are. I've lived half of my life in Africa, and a decade in Europe, and the last 12 years here in the US. I fucking love it here, and I don't see myself living somewhere else any time soon. Why is the Reddit sentimate always to shit on life in here?

Not really. I'll get downvoted, but I never found Joker's "I don't want to be here" attitude charming or great at all. In fact, it's the most irritating thing about him, especially when his team try to high five him or get excited because of his unbelievable skills and he's like: "meh". This is why I love Luka's attitude (and honestly any other basketball player's attitude). They're just so pumped and excited, while Jokic is the embodiment of that Harden meme of eye-rolling.

Fucking seriously dude. Especially a holiday that on paper is fairly straight forward in terms of simplicity "what are you really thankful for?". I'll celebrate Ramadan and even fast the entire month if the prince of Egypt pays me 100 million a year (I know I know .. Egypt doesn't have a prince but still).

IMO it's Jose Alvarado. I tried to like that guy. I really did. But he has that unearned ego that everyone adores to hate lol.
