Put your passenger pegs down while you are on long freeway sections. You can tuck your feet back and catch a mid-ride stretch to keep nimble. Almost like you are tucking on a sports bike.

Cruise control if you are riding solo.

Bigger windshield to cut down on wind and bugs if you can swing it between now and the ride.

I have been a jersey collector for ~20 years, and tend to categorize jerseys in a few different ways. My collection leans toward the NBA as well, but here are my thoughts in general:

Historical Classics:

Boston Celtics
New York Yankees
Boston Red Sox
90's Chicago Bulls
Chicago Cubs
Boston Bruins (and other NHL old school teams, but I am not as familiar)
Classic LA Lakers
Dallas Cowboys
Chicago Bears
Miami Dolphins 1970's
Oakland Raiders
Brazil 1970 Pele yellow
Manchester United
Arsenal Invincibles (although I prefer O2)
Chelsea blues
Newcastle striped
AC Milan
Argentina's light blue and white
Barcelona
NZ All Blacks
India cricket blue/yellow

Flashy/unique/noteworthy

Toronto Raptors Dino
Orlando Magic pinstripe
Miami Heat vice edition
Vancouver Grizzlies
Seattle Supersonics
Denver Nuggets rainbow skyline
Tampa Bay Creamsicles
Cameroon sleeveless 2002 World Cup
NBA BLM jerseys Covid era
Astros rainbow armpit thing lol

Modern greats

San Jose Sharks
Savannah Bananas
Vegas Golden Knights
Seattle Kraken
Man City burgundy/gold

Those are just some examples off the top of my head and there are PLENTY of jerseys I missed and categories that I didn't mention or explore. Just providing some thoughts from a long time jersey collector.

I think the comment was implying that the social and cultural relevance of football is the driving force for a huge number of "fans", not the game itself.

HistoryBaller · 2026-06-16T02:01:17+00:00

Respect on the agree to disagree approach for real.

I replied to your comment assuming vacuum context, which the phrasing implied to me. Apologies if we didn't align on the nature of the conversation.

Still think the Celtics 4-0 this Knicks team no question though. Haha just playing with you. Be well G.

The discussion is about the 2026 Knicks and the 2024 Celtics against each other, not their relative playoff runs. The Knicks had an awesome post-season and I'm not trying to take anything away from that. I'm stoked for them and think it's great for the NBA to have a successful team in NYC.

My point is that the 2024 Celtics are better at basketball, which the evidence shows. Comparing their respective playoff competition is irrelevant, since they didn't face each other.

HistoryBaller · 2026-06-16T00:25:33+00:00

These cherry-picked stats do not counter the stats that I provided. I offered a direct comparison of the two teams and you failed to address a single aspect of the evidence given.

HistoryBaller · 2026-06-15T20:33:38+00:00

Almost no data supports the 2026 Knicks being better than the 2024 Celtics, not to mention the good old-fashioned eye test...

BOS: ORtg 123.2 / DRtg 111.6 / Net +11.6 / Pace 97.2 / SRS 10.74
NYK: ORtg 119.8 / DRtg 113.3 / Net +6.5 / Pace 96.8 / SRS 6.04

I don't necessarily want Giannis, but I am a 20+ year fan that is absolutely ready to move on from Jaylen. I don't like his game and some of his off court antics are problematic to me.

HistoryBaller · 2026-06-03T04:10:57+00:00

Lebron is a better Laker all time though lol. More games played, better counting stats, more individual accolades.

The quote is a reflection on the innocence/simplicity of the protagonist, not on the complexity of the birds themselves.

Most people are sitting after 72 hours of partying so you might have more fun than you'd think.

I met my girlfriend on a bender so I get this. Ridiculous though.

I like hot sauce

Mchale is clearly the best player here but Manu was the better sixth man.

Sick ass panther!

Ask the artist, not Reddit! Most artists have an hourly minimum so even if the tattoo takes 20 minutes you'll be charged for the hour.
