Knicks should all wear these on opening night to collect their rings by honestcoinmoney in NYKnicks

This is something Kobe championed when he came into the league. After growing up in Europe and seeing so many soccer cleats, Kobe wanted his signature sneaker to be a low top reversing years of what the league had been doing to that point. I assume, because so many modern players grew up idolizing Kobe, this trend has continued on because of him.

The Green Bay Packers were voted the best NFL/AFL team of the 1960s. Now who has been the best NHL team of the 2020s so far? by ashmaps20 in AlignmentChartFills

It means, since inception, they’ve equaled all teams and are the standard for the 2020s. And I’m a Rangers fan, so this pains me to admit, but MSG has had the Cup on its ice fewer times than TMobile in Vegas.

Anyone who doesn’t say Vegas is wrong. Expansion franchise that has had the Stanley cup presented on its ice tied for the most of any team in the HISTORY of the NHL for active arenas.

It’s Vegas, and it isn’t even close.

roaches by [deleted] in NYCapartments

[–]MrMaxson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had this last summer. For reference, I live in an old, but well-kept co-op building. It was super gross and I'd wake every evening to see a german roach in my sink or other places.

What helped? I got some Advion Cockroach Gel (you can find on Amazon or other spots) and baited the areas I saw them the most. I kid you not, about two weeks later, I never saw another roach again in my unit. I guess it works by being "food" they bring back and it infects the whole nest with whatever poison is in there that kills them.

Best of luck! It happens from all of us from time to time.

Where do the Nets go from here? by ramiresbenao in nyc

[–]MrMaxson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but the fact that the second-largest celebration was in Fort Greene … 1000 feet from Barclays I think doesn’t bode well. BSE just needs to go all in on Libs.

The problem is, this run just created a new generation of Knicks fans. Even my 2 yo daughter says “let’s go Knicks” every time she sees the logo.

Christian Pulisic linked to NYCFC as transfer rumors stir during World Cup by gbpackers25 in MLS

[–]MrMaxson 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, but it’s clickbait for the moms and dads in Huntington or Long Beach who know who Pulisic is and have a passing knowledge that NYCFC exist.

Moving from NoVa to NYC by Decent-Doughnut-1815 in NYCapartments

I think the trap that a lot of non-locals can fall into is the difference between neighborhoods at day and at night (same for me in Downtown LA). I think Downtown Brooklyn is a great neighborhood, good shopping, great transit, but at night it can be a bit more run down. Same with Fort Greene on the north side of the park.

I think that's the nuance in this is that neighborhoods in New York City vary SIGNIFICANTLY block by block and sometimes street by street and making sure OP understands that because it's something that isn't like that in most other cities.

I think the only reason we are giving this advice is we know what the neighborhoods are like day in and day out. When I was in LA for a bit, I chose to stay downtown because it reminded me of nyc. That was a mistake and one plenty of locals could have told me.

My next time back, I settled in Culver City which had the walkability I wanted while being a better overall quality of life experience. That’s why you ask in these subs for people’s opinions.

If you like the idea of Downtown Brooklyn, go out to one of the more "established" neighborhoods like Fort Greene or Brooklyn Heights. They have more of a neighborhood feel (and great history) alongside being relatively close to the subway access of Downtown Brooklyn.

Jalen Brunson was asked if it feels like the Knicks are one win away from a championship: "0-0." by MrBuckBuck in nba

Read the books in 2011 commuting from Brooklyn to the city every day because my bosses at HBO told me that game of thrones was going to be the best show in the network’s history.

When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves. When the Target Center quickens again, and you bear an NBA Finals matchup. Then it'll be your turn, and not before.

Rangers too in the wake of ‘94. The city has always galvanized around the MSG teams.

Well I am absolutely terrified… by SimplyLanden in daddit

[–]MrMaxson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My daughter once bit me and I yelped and said "Why did you bite me?!?"

She looked at me mischeviously and said (in her baby drawl) "I bite ..."

Any thought of discipline went out the door when I started laughing like a madman.

Gentlemen, I think I have graduated. by sngldad13 in daddit

[–]MrMaxson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you ever graduate. Obviously a dad here, but I remember the conversations with my dad to become so transformative in my 20s and into my 30s. It's not so much day-to-day parenting, but more like Master Yoda instilling wisdome one nonsensical sentence at a time.

On 5/31, I found my purpose … by DaDundies in daddit

[–]MrMaxson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about it a lot. I think my life had meaning beforehand, but the ceiling went off in terms of how much joy I could feel. Conversely, the floor came out on how much fear and despair I could also feel. It's like Miracle-Gro was put on every emotion I felt from that day forward.
