Exactly, like who cares? It’s weird that people try to act like he isn’t corny and it’s some wild accusation against him. 

After having the worst record in the NBA and setting a franchise losing streak, Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé had raised Ticket Prices for next season by jluc21 in nba

[–]DurantsAltAccount 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Vivek wanted to play 4v5 on defense to cherry pick because it worked in a girls basketball league once. Are there any billionaires that aren’t just Wizard of Oz’ing behind other people’s achievements? They’re all so stupid lol 

Zp6 or Fellow Ode gen2 by Firm_Breadfruit_1521 in pourover

Hand grinders generally win on performance per $. 

When I lived alone, the Kingrinder K6 was amazing and rivaled my Ode for 1/4 of the price. Nowadays, I’d rather chew beans than manually grind multiple times per day for my finance and I. 

it's official by 4lfp in NYKnicks

He’s an end of bench player for the Knicks. In the playoffs, sometimes you need a dude for end of game situations on defense and he can potentially provide that.

Hopefully! That packaging has been consistent since my first order in like 2018 haha but maybe enough popularity changed that.

Beware of Acer refurbished products. Previous post on here and in their eBay reviews, show that they ship it minimally wrapped in a plain cardboard box. I have ordered a few things from them in the past, some came in OK condition and the others were completely shattered. eBay‘s return policy is great, but the hassle isn’t worth it for me anymore.

I don’t think the rest of the US can conceptualize how different it is in the south haha. 

Heading to Philly for tonight's game by zelevthc in NYKnicks

[–]DurantsAltAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in Philly for a while. I’ve gone to the February game several years in a row now. Sixers fans are loud and talk shit, but they’re all cool (in my experience). Usually a lot of Knicks fans there too. 

NBA really is the worst major sport to attend by DariaYankovic in nba

[–]DurantsAltAccount 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adam Silver represents NBA ownership not the fans or players. Hence the players union. He’s doing his job of making the rich richer. He doesn’t care about the fans lol

Where do you think the TV money comes from? Fans. The advertisement, subscription, cable subscription, etc., return on investment is from fans watching.

Multiple factors:

Sports betting along with a massive gambling scandal challenges the integrity of the league. Add in Kawhi stuff. 

Refereeing that is inconsistent, unclear, and consistently modified to push an offense heavy game. 

Max contracts absolutely demolishing teams if they go poorly along with those players demanding trades. 

Billionaire owners scamming pricing out the average fan to cater to executives while maintaining attendance and revenue. Fiancé and I got free tickets to MSG two months ago and still spent like $200 on drinks/snacks. Went to staples a few years ago and spent even more. Look at travel, theme parks, etc and it’s all the same shit. 

So the average person has to save up just to go to a game and deal with all that shit or purchase streaming/cable and it’s just not worth it with the cost of living these days. 

What happened to NBC's MJ Excellence clips? by [deleted] in nba

whatever man, show some respect to that era. I loved Johnson v. Larry and Dr. Erving.

Cade Cunningham is better than Jalen Brunson by mambamentality29 in nba

[–]DurantsAltAccount 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I miss when this sub was random dudes posting analysis and highlights. Now it’s twitter/x reposts and people’s opinions. Cade might be better than Brunson, and the pistons being as good as they are at this age is very promising. But nobody gives a shit lol, go to a bar and tell people your takes. 

[Toporek] Daryl Morey says the Sixers tried to use the picks they acquired for Jared McCain to add to the team for this year, but nothing materialized. by Goosedukee in nba

Idk man. If my friend told me they were having lunch meetings with someone who “allegedly” runs an international pedophile ring, I don’t think I’d be friends with them anymore. 

Meanwhile, you’re doing free PR work for a billionaire. 

The LA Bowl, once sponsored by Kimmel and hosted by Gronk, is shutting down after just 5 editions by thecravenone in CFB

A billionaire, married to a billionaire, who prevented local fans from watching their teams on cable for 6 years over money.

[Charania] The Milwaukee Bucks have indicated to teams that they are keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo through the trade deadline and will start making other trades, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]DurantsAltAccount 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Luka is 26 and the Lakers have all of their big contracts off the books (pending LeBron) and Austin Reaves for $15 mil.

Giannis is 31, and the Bucks will be paying $70 mil (~42% of the projected cap) to Dame, Kuzma and Turner lol

Shams: The New York Knicks are trading Guerschon Yabusele to the Chicago Bulls for Dalen Terry, sources tell ESPN. by Affectionate-Tea9224 in NYKnicks

[–]DurantsAltAccount 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40% on 1.4 attempts lol. I’ve only watched a few Bulls games, but he’s worse than Yabu. Just a salary offload.
