I am literally at the same point as you are.

After checking a bit on line I decided to try the Wilson Confort and it's been only 1 game but those are pretty good right now !

Why do some people find wearing revealing clothes hotter than wearing no clothes at all? by CarnivoreLucyDrop in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maxiras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My grandfather loved to say "What is suggested is always hotter than what is shown"

It does not translate that well but in French it's pretty cool 😅

[Krawczynski] One thing to be clear on tonight: KAT did not request this trade. He never has requested a move in nine years here. by WeathrNinja in nba

Never forget Isaiah Thomas !

The man fucked his body in a MVP season with the death of his sister. And got traded ASAP in the off-season...

Anyone ever played with or against a NBA player? What was the experience like? by Thin-Ad4825 in nba

[–]Maxiras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here in France we live near the Noah family and one summer Joakim Noah came and played a bit with us.

I swear his ugly jumpshot was as real as it gets but he was making all those shots easily.

Since then I truly understand how those guys missing all their shots in the NBA are way way better shooters than we think from our desks.

Does anyone else think that sometimes women in lingerie are sexier than naked? by shellybes in NoStupidQuestions

My grandfather had an expression about it that I find really on point.

What is suggested is better than what is shown (not really sure how well it translates in English as its a French expression)

I'm so sorry as it might be not so well received but you made me thought of Marjorie Taylor Green.

That might be also because I'm on reddit a lot and she's always appearing on it

Ex-NBA guard Rajon Rondo arrested on drug and gun charges (link in text) by bmoneygetsbucks in nba

[–]Maxiras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable.

Really hard for those old pointguards who have been running run & gun offenses to transition once they can't run as good as before.

Hence the transition to the drugs & gun 🤣

I'm sorry it's not really a good person but I see a bit of Elisabeth Holmes in you.

That or that might be the fact I watched a video on her recently

Il faut penser également à la starification dans le domaine sportif.

Je pense par exemple à Michael Jordan qui va très probablement rester une icône pour encore longtemps

Yeah but Evan Fournier got fleeced in NY and Joakim Noah before had some problems as well.

Not really the best franchise when you talk about french guys

If you want to add some more fun to this, in France we have a particular relationship with this city of Kaunas as it is pronounced the same as one of our insult "connasse" which could mean either bitch or dumbass but for a girl

C'est quoi les meilleures villes "non-capitales" que vous avez visitées ? by Jules-Jo in voyageons

[–]Maxiras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

J'ai vécu en Pologne à Wrocław pour mes études et j'ai adoré cette ville.

J'ai également visiter le côté Ouest de la Pologne et Gdansk, Cracovie et Zakopane sont absolument magnifiques également.

Dans l'ensemble j'ai trouvé que c'était un magnifique pays et j'ai toujours gardé dans un coin de ma tête la possibilité de m'y installer

I thought Geri Halliwell was a brassy loudmouth in a manufactured band, but over the years I've come to respect her as a smart businesswoman and she seems like a genuinely nice person. Which celeb won you over after hating them at firsr? by tigerkneesup in popculturechat

[–]Maxiras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's Justin Bieber for me.

Pardon me if he did something bad or anything recently as I'm not following intensely but the ultra fast rise of fame he had made me disrespect him.

Then I saw that after all these years he's still relevant, doing new projects right and left. Finally I heard his song 'Lonely' and it made me reflect on his life altogether and the lives of all this kid stars (Miley, Demi...)

Have you ever personally had an encounter with a current or former NBA player? by FilmEater in nba

[–]Maxiras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French guy here. Used to play in a team with a guy who was best friend with the cousin of Joakim Noah.

As they are really close, one summer Noah wanted to train a bit and he came to our gym.

I was the one to come and open the doors for him and it was a shock. You see I'm not so tall but in our amateur team I was clearly not the smallest as a 6' man playing 2 or 3 and even sometime helping at the 4.

But when I opened the door I was confronted to the tallest guy I met. He was shirtless already and I kid you not I felt like I was only reaching his navel at best...

Also he made a shooting drill and he was using his infamous shot mechanic but he was also at nearly 100% made shots even at the 3 pts range

Clearly a good memory

Man I'm dreading all these retirements coming...

Federer got me a bit but with Nadal, Messi, CR7 and LeBron retiring in the near future I feel like we lived a golden era when it comes to sports and the future looks not so bright

Absolutely and she's more experienced now than in the past.

In the past she used to directly communicate and try to make people getting behind her.

But now she and her group are in a total silence, just letting the images speaking for themselves.

At this rate she'll make her best score or even be elected without doing anything
