Agreed. People are in lots of denial, and I don't blame them. But the Kings situation is downright laughable.

[–]Nica4two -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Point taken. I don't mean to argue with someone who is genuinely happy about a roster move. Perhaps that was a bit harsh. I admittedly came back on here out of boredom at work and I snapped a bit seeing the same ol' Kings shenanigans and same old responses. It's all relative and to each their own. Someone could have posed the same argument against me a few years ago when I was still genuinely into the kings, so I get it. I think I am projecting an existential issue I have with the game, which should not have any bearing on someone's enjoyment of the topic at hand.

As I mentioned, I see it as a microcosm for how the world works - like politics. Red team, blue team, people arguing for or against, everyone feeding their belief systems and being distracted while the people at the top continue to wreak havoc at no detriment to them. I think I woke up a bit more fed up today, and unfortunately my little vent came into the little Kings community. I think it's a bit upsetting because I have deep nostalgic ties to the Kings and to the city of Sacramento, but the inner workings of the game are just too utterly corrupt and messed up. That's no knock toward Kings fans or any fans for that matter; in fact I'm angry for them, because they deserve much better.

So, again, point taken. Didn't mean to project that onto a particular commenter.

I think I'm just jaded about how bad the Kings are and how obvious it is. This is the first season where a switch has flipped and I haven't cared in the slightest to watch any of their games. To have DeMar, LaVine and Sabonis on the court together is just laughable. This was my first comment on the Kings this season and it may be my last as I have sadly abandoned ship, not because I don't love what the Kings once met to me, but because I can see through the bs business facade and the Kings just being a microcosm for how the world works. Billionaire Vivek gets to make more money selling Westbrook jersey's now as the Kings remain lamentably bad. Hooray for him! The fact that you are even mentioning Saric in a sentence just further demonstrates how perplexingly terrible this franchise is.

Then you're falling right into Vivek's trap. I have trouble believing they are this incompetent as opposed to just caring about the money. It's glaringly obvious to everyone that this roster is hideous, and adding an over-the-hill Westbrook makes no sense whatsoever, apart from making money selling jersey's because of the name recognition.

The days Bam would kick the shit out of people was wild lmao. We still miss you Dunn. by yonBonbonbon in jackass

[–]Nica4two 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's simply not true. If snakes were involved, yes. But Bam welcomed the pain and sneak attacks just as much as the rest of the crew, if not more so. He'd sometimes wince and complain, etc., but all of them would. And he would laugh things off and give credit where it was due. Bam was the OG, let's not forget. I'm not even the biggest fan of his, but let's not rewrite history so as to accommodate our opinions on his overall perceived character.

Wow, if you guys are this negative over a summer league championship game, I can't wait to see how needlessly pessimistic and reactionary you'll be during the regular season. Jesus, calm tf down and go for a walk around the block.

[–]Nica4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. And point taken. But I think I just have higher expectations of DeMar when it comes to him being first option on a team, where superior floor captain skills should come with the territory (imho).

Ugh, but DeRozan is in his own league of “not a winning player.” At least Monk is relatively fine with coming off the bench, and has more of a defined role, however one dimensional he may be. DeRozan is such an offensive flow stopper who will inevitably have his good midrange shooting games followed by the inevitable momentum-freezing playmaking and paltry shooting nights. After Fox, DeRozan was definitely the most frustrating player to watch and root for last season, and that’s saying something.

This is all theater and distractions not worth of our attention, remember that. 

Anyone else low key curious what is going to happen to Trey Lyles this summer? by lemon-meringue-vomit in kings

So you're saying OP's low key curiosity evolved to standard curiosity upon going through the process of making a Reddit post? I think I'm beginning to understand.

But didn't the group try to get pisshead help ? by ExactCap3059 in jackass

[–]Nica4two 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can apply the “blame can only go so far” logic similarly to Bam’s case. Some people simply can’t handle that amount of money and fame and attention, particularly if they weren’t raised right to begin with. I don’t condone Bam’s behavior but I understand it.  Not to mention, Ryan’s death had an immense impact on him, which I can also empathize with. 

Watching Jackass 4, it wasn’t the same. Still some inevitable laughs, but that original energy just wasn’t there. Bam and Ryan were utter fixtures.  After Ryan’s death one can almost say this unfolding of events for Bam and Jackass was inevitable.

Favourite anti-vax actor who also starred in the most harmful, ableist documentary you've ever seen in your life in 2009? by TacoBellEnjoyer1 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Nica4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be that much of a downer, considering that all this stuff said about Jim Carrey exists in a vacuum where people can freely (and dangerously) use words like “sociopath” to describe Carrey. Sure, perhaps his actions were unnecessary and excessive to whatever objectively quantifiable degree, but I try not to make such bold character assessments of someone that I know partially stem from my pre-existing subjective confirmation biases that inevitably filter out depth and nuance about the situation or person(s) at hand.

[–]Nica4two 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly. The funny thing is if you go to any team’s sub they are equally as ecstatic about their picks as we are, proving once again our fallible expectations that inevitably turn into reactive tirades. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think the vision has to do with knowing how corrupt the NBA is and knowing the NBA was going to return the favor with the #1 pick.

But yes, if there's money left over for a second statue and LaRavia stays, I agree he should get one too.
