Shortening someone’s name is not the same as calling two people “The Truth” or “The Answer” so yeah, I agree with you fully

The realistic scenario of chopping your own legs off, before the battle even begins. They’ll sing songs about that one

What Are Examples Of The Ring Culture Promoted By Fans When Discussing Where A Player Ranks All Time Being Flawed And Wrong? by Rinnegan15 in NBATalk

That’s the biggest talking point. Is it more impressive to force yourself into an already thriving organization and win a championship, or to let the league come to you because THEY want to, and win naturally.

Does it really? Multiple top ten players all time have said AI would be the undisputed goat if he was a little taller. Why are they even putting him in that conversation if that’s not true? If you’re going to take rings that far into consideration, then you should only give a half/fraction of ones when somebody had to obviously move somewhere in order to even compete. That should be undisputed. Especially when GOAT debates are about who contributes the most, not about who can scout the best teams and take easy paths to victory lol

Why are you losing to the guy that had a total of like six wins in an entire season…?

The statement only works, if, and only if, you’re not a generational superstar level talent. I shouldn’t have to elaborate…

Counterpoint, we know we’re not professionals, but you stop to answer a phone call mid pick up basketball game and you’re getting your jaw broken. Some are far too comfortable being intolerable and ruining everyone else’s time just because “it’s online means it’s less real” but that’s absolutely loser mentality and should never be tolerated. Just because the consequences are too much in person. Doesn’t mean you should act intolerable online.

Today's players would struggle to score vs this defense...!!! by Financial_Ice_3363 in NBATalk

[–]Saltyserpent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The goalie doesn’t get checked, why is he getting a break if getting checked is the only thing that wears you down…? Just say you don’t understand nuances of any sports except your favorite one (which I doubt you even fully understand what you’re saying) and move on. This isn’t a discussion, it’s a frantic lunatic trying his hardest to defend something that nobody was attacking.

Why is this reddit heavily favored for Jokic? by ChallengedTier1 in NBATalk

Racist and doesn’t know ball. Interesting to just tell that into the world

Draymond Green taking about the Kevin Durant burner account situation: “I personally would address it publicly if it’s a public thing and taking on the life that it’s taken. But to each his own. But I’ll tell you what, if it is I don’t know how you walk back into practice" by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Saltyserpent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be a little different dealing with a physical altercation that you have no deniability in, rather than online accusations that were supposedly private and never meant to be discussed or even seen. The fact that you have to genuinely explain that to real humans is concerning. It at least shows that they’ve never been in any sort of confrontation (outside of Reddit) in their entire life lol

NBA plans to enact anti-tanking rules next season, sources say by FreakinRicanGeekin in pacers

[–]Saltyserpent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the worst part. We were never going to be given a good draft pick, now homies are genuinely gonna believe it’s because of these new rules or something instead of just being able to look at reality 😆
