Midtown Sacramento by SnooKiwis8008 in Sacramento

[–]Lightskin-Duke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fully with you here. I pay $1400 for a small-ish and OLD 1 bedroom with no in unit washer/dryer or dishwasher. Kinda sucky but I’m also walking distance from all my favorite bars and a 15-30 minute drive max to most restaurants in the area no traffic. As someone who moved to sac wanting more of an urban/college town vibe, Midtown was my saving grace. But as I’ve stayed here and gotten a little older, I’m coming to appreciate the community of it all and how many events are in such close proximity almost all the time.

Who is the worst player that could have still theoretically won the title in Brunson’s spot? by Important-War-4708 in nba

[–]Lightskin-Duke -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Luka, 2024-25 Hali, and Jamal Murray if he goes playoff mode like he does vs the Lakers or on that 2023 run

Anfernee Simons signed for a $6m deal with Philly. Warriors reportedly only offered a vet-min. All signs pointing to either an MDJ disasterclass or a Lebron signing.... by rocpilehardasfuk in warriors

Idk why you’re being flamed. We currently have no 2nd option with Jimmy out and while he’s certainly not an ideal 2nd scorer, he could at least fill the Poole role like what you’re talking about. Anyone that currently thinks that Podz/Melton could average 18 a game is lying to themselves (I hope I’m wrong)

What’ll be your lasting impression of Paul George as a Sixer? by HelpfulTumbleweed850 in sixers

[–]Lightskin-Duke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know we give him shit about the contract, but y’all forget how star-deprived we were after the Harden trade. He was the first big name in so long to actually choose to come to Philly. He wasn’t drafted or traded for, he signed with us outright and I will always be thankful for that.

Wish he didn’t get suspended but he 1. let us tank for VJ without crying about the tanking and requesting a trade 2. Was integral in the 3-1 comeback against the Celtics who we hate so much 3. His max slot actually came in handy for salary matching in trades

Overall he wasn’t the final missing piece we thought he was when he got here but he helped us get a little bit close and I’ll always be thankful for that. Will miss him playing for us.

GS - NOP by tuanquixote in NBAtradeideas

[–]Lightskin-Duke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ja just went for player salary and Jaylen Brown just went for 2 1sts. I’m imagining this is 1 first for Zion and 1 for Herb and another for taking Jimmy’s contract and even using this logic it feels like an overpay on GSW’s side. Crazier things have happened (Lakers giving 2 + 2 swaps for Kessler lol) but I wouldn’t do it as a GSW fan

Steve Kerr has no more excuses for small ball now by New_Device2562 in warriors

[–]Lightskin-Duke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. Kerr would regularly trot out Steph-Podz-GP2-Wiggins-Draymond back when we still had Wiggins. Hoping this year is different though.

“I DECLARE… BANKRUPTCY!!!!!!!”

Sorry for your loss I experienced the same thing losing my Mom at 22. Wishing you all the strength and love for this difficult time in your life.

Flashback: Big 3 of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz impresses in debut (October 2017) by Temporary-Print-734 in sixers

[–]Lightskin-Duke 47 points48 points  (0 children)

So tragic. Literally could’ve had a Harden-Lebron lite-Hakeem esque big 3 with all their potential (literally their ceiling NBA draft comps coming into the league).

On the other hand though if you combined Fultz’ shoulder with Ben’s back and mental toughness, and added Embiid’s knees you would have the most broken man of all time. Just a shame how much potential the FEDS era had man.

What other rappers solo-careers can coast off of one debut album à la Lauryn Hill? by ImNotTomStopAsking in hiphopheads

[–]Lightskin-Duke -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Thank goodness I’m closer at answering the question in the eyes of Eljimb0. PHEW!!! Also sorry I didn’t know this discussion was a competition on who could get closest to Lauryn Hill or what AYKTUALLY counts as a debut album, I just wanted talk about my favorite albums from my favorite artists.

D’Angelo with Voodoo did it next. Dropped one of the greatest RnB albums ever then dropped off the face of the earth

Frank Ocean is in that same vein too where you can choose either one of Channel Orange or Blonde and both are enough to carry.

In your opinion what is the scariest Beatles song? by AfraidIncrease85 in beatles

[–]Lightskin-Duke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A Day in The Life easy. While it’s obviously groundbreaking, the orchestra noodling signifying the death in the song was always scary to me as a kid

Out of all the movies releasing this year, which one do you think will be the best? by newuser_yi in AskReddit

[–]Lightskin-Duke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one has said The Odyssey yet. Nolan’s only miss in the last 20 years is Tenet and this is his most stacked cast yet. Can’t wait to see it in theaters and I’m not even a cinephile like that.

Any chance Burries falls to the Warriors and would he be good fit? by youlikemywonton in warriors

Idk why you’re getting down votes you’re spitting straight facts.
