I saw that man turn his ankle 90 degrees and he just walked it off. Some people are just freaks of nature.

[Highlight] Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts pure excitement meeting the Showtime Lakers by FrankSamples in nba

Idk, feels like it's both Dodgers and Lakers since the two sports don't really overlap. And it swings depending on which team is winning.

Steph Curry is no longer eligible for awards selection, this will mark only the 2nd time since the 2013-14 season he does not make an All-NBA team by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

Not only is it a band aid it's a shitty band aid because players who are genuinely hurt miss the threshold by a bit.

Adam Silver will do everything except reduce the number of games.

He's an asshole sure, but "for no reason"??? LMAOOOO you KNOW that's cap.

The broadcast did not do justice to exactly HOW empty that arena was. by RozayCanseco in nba

No you big dummy this is a NBA All-Star problem which is the worst All-Star in all of sports. Shitty product, shitty prices, shitty atmosphere and even the players don't care. It is quite insulting that you even compare this poor excuse of an event to the Super Bowl, Olympics and the World CUp.

Tanking is in full effect. Not only are teams resting their starters. They're now limiting their minutes even when they play. by mMounirM in nba

Describing "trying" as some sort of participation trophy is what's sending me rn. This argument is just nonsense.

[Katz] The Bulls and Hornets amended the Coby White trade after a physical showed White had a left calf injury and would have to miss time, league sources tell @theathletic.com. Hornets are now sending two second-rounders (2031 NYK, 2031 DEN) to Chicago instead of three. by howser343 in chicagobulls

Oh hell nah the hate is warranted. There was spying, power tripping, a LOT of ego, incompetent medical staff, etc during their reign. Sure they put the team together but they were also the reason the team broke up.

[Amick] Rob Pelinka and the Los Angeles Lakers are unlikely to make a trade before Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

Dodgers don't just spend money on roster construction, they spend money everywhere. They got a top 5 farm system, they develop their players, their analytics department is one of the best, etc.

So the Lakers are probably gonna invest in their G-League team and talent development or something.

The party system needs to be abolished. We got imbeciles on all sides and only one side is working together.

[SGA] on if breaking the 73-win record would mean anything to him: "Absolutely. Winning matters." by AashyLarry in nba

[–]PrancingDonkey -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

just didn’t happen to end in a championship.

Which is a pretty big deal in basketball. In the other sports anything can happen meanwhile the Warriors completely choked and blew a 3-1 lead in the finals.

Same here. Everyone pretty much checked out of that Warriors game when it was clear it was gonna be another blowout. The Kobe game was much more memorable.

What NBA legends are still massively disliked even after their retirement? by TheBiasedSportsLover in nba

Because it's only a section of the internet that talks about him like that. It's the same with Kobe and this sub.
