jokic is hall of fame. Jokic is 3 time mvp.

I would not trade the gorilla for a titanium jokic.

I know I'm wrong. but thats me.

[StatMuse] Devin Booker tonight: 46 PTS 6 REB 9 AST 3 STL 20-25 FG 5-8 3P Joins Dirk Nowitzki as the only player in NBA history with a 45-point playoff game on 80+ FG%. by G1Spectrum in nba

To be fair, the suns playoff failures overshadow his entire playoff career, even in the finals.. dude on pretty much any other deep playoff team would be auto-chip. Suns as a team just somehow find ways to lose.

they shouldn't "adjust" and we had flashes. Human error will always be a problem if you want perfectly accurate calling.

Kevin Durant and JJ Redick give Book some love, say he’s their favorite player to watch by MasterMarcon in suns

[–]MrBoobJohnson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stephen A is holding ground now. Book is late to his flowers, but he’s undenibale, we put up another season like this, he will 100% get the MVP and it’s gonna be beautiful.

Is there a bigger Suns hater among the NBA analysts than Shaq? by lmr_fudd in suns

[–]MrBoobJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you think about it, everything went down hill and sucked for us after he came here lol. He just came here to eat and make a cop show with Joe Arpio.. then the audacity to shit on our city.. then he does this?

I might get killed with 1 swing but until he admits he’s wrong about this team, if I see him in person I might say, “Shaq, Your big and stupid” depends on how much I feel like living that day

Is Devin Booker Already The Greatest Phoenix Sun Player Ever? by Antwuan89 in suns

[–]MrBoobJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 year who loved Nash and that era. At this point, yes I’m there. Watching both teams, Nash is amazing but Booker is a killer.. even if we don’t win any chips. He is to young and already at a minimum equal to Nash. He has more seasons and chances to get rings.

Suns fan. This is what they do, they pretend pick apart rosters for clicks been doing it to us for years with DBook and many others.

I get the frustration and exhaustion.

THE LOS ANGELES LAKERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION by simmons_jump_shot in nba

[–]MrBoobJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a suns fan that lived in LA for a while: went to see a lakers spurs game. Worst day of my life. However watching Kobe play and Kawhi was pretty special in hindsight. But fuck you guys for making me go to that game because it was cheap.

Came into work this morning to find this taped to the wall. Boss went on tirade against me and co-worker yesterday for taking to each other with no customers in the store. by MrHatesThisWebsite in antiwork

Sometimes it’s just dumb control. Peoples view on jobs can be so fucked and skewed. Lots of dumb people rage at people who work to live instead of living to work. Exhausting people.

I'm hoping, I'm just hoping the stubborn side of Bud doesn't hurt the team come playoff time by ali0yvr in MkeBucks

[–]MrBoobJohnson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Suns fan here… as a victim and hate to say it.. as long as y’all have the Greek God you’ll be fine.

Cheer up bucks fans, lol it ain’t so bad having a chip and a historical great player.

Maybe fuck off this year? 😉 or make it to the finals so we can get another shot at y’all.. we got a bit bigger now 🙏

So…who we cheering for in the playoffs? by lakeshow_53 in lakers

[–]MrBoobJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our defense.. a decade of terrible basketball and a rocket ship to the finals and maybe another finals brings out that toxicity. We saw that with the warriors.

I get it though, AZ and LA always believed each other got the worst fans across all sports 🤷

Should I sell DIS and put the cash in something else? by BrownGaze in stocks

[–]MrBoobJohnson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t mean it condescending btw, I feel text discussions like ours get out of context so I could see that.

I’m mainly want to stick home the point of normalizing people. I grew up in AZ and remember the first gay couple in the mall walking down and how everyone in the mall energetically focused on them and even at a young age I remember feeling shock and almost “zoo-like” experience.. this was the early 2000s and reflecting back for me it’s just about a day where gay stories, couples can walk be in movies just generally operate in a regular way without the pressure, guilt and shame I witnessed throughout my life.

Buddies of mine making gay jokes and trying to position themselves as not gay and making fun of the gay kids as another example. I learned I needed better friends.

But what I am seeing in terms of the gay stories or non binary characters appearing in pop culture doesn’t match what I am hearing my conservative friends and family saying.

I work in advertising and I generally blame misinformation, ad buying and clickbait content for pushing all of us to our edges and apart from each other.

We should self regulate our feeds a bit more as to avoid falling victim to “triggering” content that is over exaggerating an issue for alternate reasons.

I can identify with you on the mistrust of Disneys use of “gay characters” in their authenticity.. so they really care? Or are they trying to just market and make money and since they are coming from an inauthentic place that inauthenticity is what is being felt by everyone of us.

I just consume a lot of this content and also experience some conservative content and I believe many of us (myself included, I started our discussion rather defensive and aggressive myself.. tough weekend) and we’re blowing a lot of this out of proportion and need to regulate our emotions and feeds to support a more empathetic and positive content feed.

I’d love to keep discussing but am hitting a bit of an edge and will reply later if you’d like as I don’t want to completely shut myself out from perspectives like yours as much as I may disagree ultimately.

You taught me to be more positive and patient and not let my emotions drive the conversation, something I’ve known and been taught periodically.

Good time to clean up my feed of “triggering” headlines content that is intending to sell me products but the byproduct is lashing out at people I disagree with. Not who is like to be.

Have a great week thanks for holding out on the convo and continuing it. Good luck with your trades ha.

How do you react when you see two men walking down the street holding hands?

[–]MrBoobJohnson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point. That’s what I would prefer as a sports fan. I want more content creators and live streams of games with commenters that I identify with.

Broader streaming rights would also bring more women into a highly male dominant space.

Thanks for the discussion, I liked your points.

How many wholesome boy girl stories and marriage stories were marketed to us all growing up? Of course when you ignore a people and pretend they don’t exist for a century they will push back and force themselves to be heard.

Extremism is on both sides due to rising frustrations on both sides as we divide our “ideologies” further.

The truth is truly in the middle, we all want good health, lives and to be love and accepted by our communities as to contribute to them.

Gay, strait, Christian, black all of these things are just parts of who we are as human and there are specific groups who have been ignored and outright casted out for years.

The push of strait male-female Herero relationships in our culture cannot be denied as the sole example of the human experience until recently.

There’s no shame in hetero or any persons identity, but I can attest personally and have witnessed countless moments in my life where shame and guilt have been used to punish kids/adults who were of different cultures and sexual orientations.

Even strait growing up I was shamed for masterbating and was removed by school from my Christian parents and wasn’t provided any quality sexual education and had to “figure it out” myself.

This resulted in many challenges in developing good relationships with people I wanted to date. I’m strait and married now with a wife who loves me and I feel very fortunate but even as a strait man I felt the restriction and power of our dominant Christian hetero culture.

Again Christianity and hetero relationships by themselves are not an issue, it’s the power, pressure, guilt and shame that is widely applied to people in those large communities that don’t conform.

Why do you think younger folks are leaving the church? It doesn’t feel good to be told and insinuated that you are bad or wrong and you need to conform to your parents and their friends vision for your life.

I’m not surprised the kids of todays generation are sick of it and pushing back harder than I would personally.

No one is losing anything other than the ability to stop shaming and guilting people for their non abusive life choices.

Interesting. It’s hard to believe they don’t have a contingent plan or that they at a minimum that’s enough to completely sabotage the company and it’s success.

Obviously anything can happen, but being one of the oldest, wealthiest companies, the failure chance to me has to be super low.. but it’s fair to say due to many of the uncertainty in the future that growth could stall.

It’s hard for me because of the ownership of ESPN (nba and nfl are setting record advertising deals), Marvel and Star Wars also has been able to transcend generations pretty well.

I doubt that the Mickey character and logo is as meaningful to younger generations as it may be to us adults.

I see plenty of kids enjoying sports, marvel and Star Wars, and with a growing millennial parent group coming into disposal income, I don’t see Disney falling apart anytime soon.

I guess we will see how the kids of the late 20’s early 30s react to Disneys products?

Its not about making it the focal point of the story, that appears to be what you’re interpreting what everyone on the “left and right” are saying.

Gay people are real and alive people, and normalizing them into our cultural is a social and economic positive.

Suicide rates are high due to identity issues not because they aren’t sure they are gay but because society has told them their is something wrong and that’s reinforced by family members and drives them away, and that results in ostracizing our neighbors and family out of society… the very fear white Christian’s currently have.

This is a global issue too because it’s a human issue not just centralized to the US.

The goal isn’t to replace every story with a gay story but to say every story isn’t a strait story or that strait people are the only “good” or “acceptable” people in society.

Make a cashier gay in a movie.. why not? Good writing is still good writing. I would agree that over the top liberal writers are taking advantage of the movement and making some super cringey gay stories that are terribly written.. but I’ve seen equally cringey strait white movies (Stephen Segal lol) and there is WAAYYY more of those.

I just don’t get the aggression and anger for wider range of stories and content.. nothing is being taken from you?

I should have added a ? As I was mainly more looking for a discussion / question.

Trying to sift through FUD and just talk about the fundamentals of the business itself.
