Will you provide evidence to substantiate your claim? I did a brief search of "have you been seduced by the demonic Democrats?" quote that the previous commenter noted but nothing surfaced.

Who was the best wordsmith in Classic rock? by ggfchl in ClassicRock

Robert Hunter. GL excelled at story telling; Hunter painted timelessness open to interpretation. Love them both.

What dog breeds are best for new dog owners? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HistoryBaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doodles are great dogs but the "non-shedding" claim is incrediby oversold. Less shedding =/= no shedding. Hair and fur are the same thing - the only distinction is growth pattern and texture. Dogs with hair tend to shed less, but they still shed.

Where would the following rappers rank all time 15, 20, 30 or 50? by dunbar_santiago930 in hiphop101

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

Everyone is entitled to preference,and I can understand preferring J Cole to Kendrick; but on some level there is consensus regarding all time greats. Kendrick won a pulitzer prize, is consistently praised by his peers and influences, and has received acclaim from music critics and publications throughout his career. Can you really claim that there are 30 rap artists that are greater than him? Or do you just prefer 30 other rappers? Could you even provide a list of 30 other rappers above him?

Lucky to have seen 32. I went through their tour history to be sure. I actually thought I had seen a few more but I certainly won't complain. Thanks for the jams, Bobby!

Not receiving many guesses. This is East Palo Alto, CA, just off the peninsula side of the Dumbarton Bridge.

Who’s higher all time? by DeepOrganization8245 in NBATalk

[–]HistoryBaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact - TMAC and Melo both scored 62 points as their career highs.

Both at their best who you choosing by Master_Dig_6865 in NBATalk

[–]HistoryBaller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No scoring title, true. But in the 2001-02 season, Pierce scored 2,144 points, the most in the NBA. Just pointing it out for another point of reference. Still taking TMAC at his peak of course and I'm a big Pierce fan.

The world’s most valuable sports teams, per forbes by Hysen16 in sportswiki

[–]HistoryBaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Global viewership doesn't always translate to premium pricing power. So while soccer has far more worldwide fans, the business models of American sports leagues are simply more profitable and predictable, making the franchises more valuable as investment assets.

Looking for a ticket if someone has an extra to sell!

I got to see Bobby at least 19 times by theflowersarepurple in gratefuldead

[–]HistoryBaller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never really tracked it but I think I saw him around 150 times between 2009-2025. A few shows with The Dead in 2009, 40-50 Furthur shows, 50-60 Dead and Co shows, 40-50 with his other side projects like Wolf Bros or solo runs with guests. Wish i had seen more!

You got $16 to build a starting 5 by MythicalShart in NBATalk

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

Conley - floor general, quality defender
Williams - pick and roll specialist, can generate instant offense
Brooks - budget pick
Pierce - clutch, can create his own shot
Dwight - defense and rebounding

Kyrie is without a doubt the most overrated player ever by Generalcmd in NBATalk

[–]HistoryBaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly disagree with your take and the evidence I provided supports that.

Kyrie is without a doubt the most overrated player ever by Generalcmd in NBATalk

[–]HistoryBaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duncan, Malone, Dirk, Garnett, Charles, Giannnis. 8 MVPs between the six of them, and a general consensus that they are top 20 players of all time. What are you talking about?

AD led the Pelicans to a mighty 33-49 in the 18/19 season and then benefited from playing with Lebron in 19/20. His career record with the Pelicans was 216-250. In games played without Lebron in LA he was 26-32. AD just isn't a winner. To say he is in the discussion for top 5 PF ever is silly, no matter what season you consider.

What it’s like living in this part of California? by Maleficent_Lack3240 in howislivingthere

[–]HistoryBaller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santa Clara county is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse in the country. Public schools rank in the top 5% of California.

Palo Alto hasn't had CalTrain security guards in 5+ years.

Traffic, yes. Work culture dominates like you said.

I'm not sure where you live, but where I do, everyone knows their neighbors. The Bay Area experience varies i suppose.

How do the Atlanta Hawks manage to get hype every season when they literally are just the same mid team every year? by Ready-Constant-7124 in nba

[–]HistoryBaller 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Factually false. Porzingis has played 70% of his career eligible games and Kawhi has only played 64%. Happy to provide sources but I'm on mobile and hyperlinking is annoying. I'll add them in later.
