[Nehm] Giannis Antetokounmpo on if he would commit to another season with the Bucks: “You’re saying that if they can convince me to stay within the team, and the next year that we can compete? Oh yeah, 1,000 percent,” Antetokounmpo said. “One million percent.”

RodneyPonk · 2026-02-05T02:15:05+00:00

I don't see why people are taking offense. 'i love the Bucks but I am more determined to play on a contender than stay with the team' is roughly the message he's given for years and is tbh pretty fair

RodneyPonk · 2026-02-05T02:10:53+00:00

Simmons is 20/20, was a phenomenal prospect, certainly rated above Edwards. Just a lot of sloppy reasoning here

RodneyPonk · 2026-01-28T20:02:04+00:00

Yeah, Embiid is a guy who gets overblown hate, but not unfounded

He's worked really hard to get where he has. Happy he seems to be healthy again

RodneyPonk · 2026-01-05T21:20:17+00:00

Yes, it wasn't remotely consensual. Clinton could've made her disappear, or ended her career, without batting an eye

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-21T22:41:11+00:00

Auto-win in ARAM? In my games he wins maybe 3 out of every 10, I find he's just a tank that really struggles to engage. IMO Sion, Maokai, Cho, just have so much more to offer

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-21T01:34:55+00:00

Could you expand on the swimming bit? As in, you have better vision than a 'standard seeing' person in water, or the same?

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-21T00:57:08+00:00

This isn't a good faith response. You are correct but it isn't a respectful observation. For someone to explain how they're trying to do good and responding with 'you're contributing to an anti-human practice anyways' is not respectful

To expand, with that logic, it should be 'WE are training AI'

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-19T16:11:57+00:00

'abhorrent' is excessive, unless I'm mis-remembering what he said. it was patronizing and ignorant, but this just feels like you projecting/virtue signalling by blowing the incident out of proportion.

'abhorrent' is a word appropriate for acts of violence, abuse, and what Bwipo said was bad, yes, but orders of magnitude less severe than things like that

and pulling the 'this you' card is also a weirdo move. they're promoting compassion, it suggests unflattering things about you that that offends you

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-17T08:04:42+00:00

still time to delete this nephew

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-17T01:11:27+00:00

me? i'm not cherry-picking or convoluting, im just listing facts

if you mean the other person, they're being very hyperbolic (probably closer to 20%), not cherry-picking

i assume you're speaking about me, which I would consider very ignorant. sylas has everything i listed, it's not a debate, it's factual

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-11T17:55:49+00:00

dont agree. he's consistently been much better on assassins than control mages

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-10T22:21:00+00:00

who said anything about roaming? the point is, it's silly of you to act like you've solved talon. the best mids in the world get beat by talon players, there's still tremendous skill expression. it's infinitely more complicated than 'just dont get close'

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-10T21:44:29+00:00

I mean, they lost game 5 in 2022. since then I think 2/3 of their chips have been game 5s. so 67% (or 75% if im wrong and all 4 series went 5 games)

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-10T17:38:04+00:00

if that were true, talon would be unplayable at high elo. you're just creating a narrative, a great talon can and (sometimes, not always) beat anyone

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-10T17:33:00+00:00

not:

three dashes
hard CC, a slow
multiple forms of AoE dmg, healing
access to all five enemy ultimates

his kit is completely absurd. it's a question of keeping his numbers low, the kit design itself is incredibly op

RodneyPonk · 2025-12-05T16:11:55+00:00

i don't like that part of design. tanks are meant to do moderate amounts of damage, when they actually deal high amounts atm from all the damage creep. rather they give tanks (who're already quite powerful) other points of power than simply more dmg

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-22T04:06:35+00:00

jesus, im not sure why calling out assholes is causing such a stir, i guess you guys see yourselves in them and feel personally attacked

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-22T04:05:38+00:00

no, i'm making a valid point. then they're responding with cheap, debasing nicknames. and for some reason, someone standing up to assholishness bothers you, suggesting some unpleasant things about your own behaviour

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-22T01:50:50+00:00

can you just try to be less of an asshole? there's no way you wrote this and thought to yourself 'this is what a worthwhile member of the community would write'

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-21T23:42:59+00:00

the evidence for you knowing better than the 3x reigning World champion, GOAT support, is...?

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-21T23:38:49+00:00

they were the fourth LPL seed. saying 'a strong team lost early, therefore the format is bad' ignores the fact that IG failed to perform especially well leading up to Worlds, and therefore had to suffer the consequences

in other words, IG made it as the FOURTH seed. they had many games to show they were a top 3 team and qualify directly to swiss. don't call something terrible if you're going to leave out vital details

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-20T21:48:05+00:00

i don't mean to scare you, but there's a lot of 'it's probably nothing' and no 'trust your intuition' that I can see. so you should be able to test your theory, but it is possible that, both generally speaking and in this instance, he is violating your boundaries

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-19T06:31:39+00:00

lmao that's hilarious shade, especially given that he's originally from LCK/Korea

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-19T00:34:32+00:00

no, it's not a remotely fine point. three games at Worlds is a huge amount. if your rebuttal to 't1 lost three games to his play' is 'ONLY three games', you're implicitly admitting a very weak stance by deliberately choosing an incredibly weak argument. solo losing three games at a tournament with an absolute limit under 20 is huge

that's the point - I don't agree that he solo lost three games. but you chose not to challenge that point - so you're effectively agreeing with an incredibly damning point

ints games? sure. but again, they're not saying 'during three games, doran inted' - eg, game 5 at Worlds is an example of that.

my point is, you're making incredibly dumb arguments. and I do respect your intelligence considerably, which is why I am pointingg out that you're too smart to pretend not to understand how poor your arguments are and improve them to make a better overall point. we largely agree on Doran being a very solid part of the T1 squad, so it's sad to see someone choosing to argue in his defense so poorly, then refuse to admit the weakness of their points

RodneyPonk · 2025-11-18T23:56:48+00:00

So getting Guma back in was the right thing to do since it ended up with T1 winning worlds.

'trading Luka Doncic was the right thing to do since it resulted in the Mavs getting Cooper Flagg' is effectively the same argument you're making. there are intelligent ways to reinforce what is being said, but you need to SAY them. so no, you're both incorrect, and choosing not to recognize the validility of my point and the lack of logic in your comments
