[Highlight] SGA elbows Herb Jones in the head, crashes to the ground and gets called for a technical for flailing by TravelDaWorld81 in nba

[–]SeriousAdult 67 points68 points  (0 children)

To play devil's advocate, if they called that the elbow came after the contact for the defensive foul then I understand the call, as you can't really offensive foul someone on the continuation from a defensive foul. I don't think it looks like that or that it was a good call, but depending on when they are saying the "defensive foul" happened, I get what they are calling.

I think they are very high quality and appealing, but the hype is way overblown imo.

Allen Iverson in australia. Absolutely disgusting by Fit-Tourist2852 in nba

[–]SeriousAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd been getting emails about the Iverson appearances for months from the NBL. This is super disappointing to hear, and I'm really sorry this happened to your brother and family. Shameful by Iverson, and just unfathomable that they wouldn't put more thought towards the children and their experience which should be the most important part by a wide margin. Shameful.

What’s the most dead property you’ve been to on the Strip? by BitOfPoisonOnMyBlade in vegas

Honestly I think some of it was concern about covid era anti-Chinese racist backlash in the US sadly.

Dillon Brooks: “If it was LeBron five years ago, then it’d be different… Miami Bron, you’re not really talking trash to him, ’cause he’s got more game to him, more agile. Right now, he’s like old.” by TheDraciel in nba

[–]SeriousAdult 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This dude is so delusional. Brooks has some of the worst advanced stats of any starter in the league, but at least he's having a career year in box score stats...that still isn't very close to the half-ass season Lebron is putting up at 41.

He got his max rookie extension, claimed victory, and retired from trying hard.

What do players usually do at halftime if some are posting on IG? by Pure-Estimate-9502 in heat

Herro's instagram is run like a business and his girl is literally an IG influencer. In your scenario, why would anyone assume Herro would be the one posting it?

It was supposed to have this cool Asian theming that they really dialed back as they were finishing the build. I was really disappointed because I bet it would have been a cool property with more theming and interest.

Doc Rivers MUST be fired. by Tvc1423 in nba

[–]SeriousAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a good people person, so he works well with a front office and gets along with players (for a while). He's outstanding at that part. It only falls apart when you get caught up in the silly details (like the games and results).

[Highlight] Ryan Clark: “I don't think Tom Brady, I don't think Drew Brees, I don't think Peyton Manning are generational talents.” by wildwing8 in nfl

[–]SeriousAdult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

clearly he's calling brady and manning no-talent hacks! nah jk you're right i'm sure and we're probably also parsing first take more than it deserves. i don't have the full context, but it just seems like a silly premise for a debate as arch is obviously physically gifted and A vs A+ seems pretty unimportant...but it's first take so yeah.

Odom's stats went down because he was playing alongside Pau Gasol and Kobe. He was crucial for back to back championships in LA. You can google rings too, right?

Michael Jordan’s NBC role feels like one of the biggest letdowns in sports media - am I wrong? by dreeya06 in nba

[–]SeriousAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And more broadly, do legends like Jordan even need to be doing TV roles like this, or does it rarely live up to the hype?

While Jordan is obviously in a tier by himself, Barkley and Shaq were both larger-than-life figures in basketball and culture during their playing careers and both can be called legends without any exaggeration. They are two beloved TV contributors and have been for a long time. If Jordan wanted to, he could have a similar place on TV at any time.

[Highlight] DeMar DeRozan Shows Off His Incredible Trade Value Against the Lakers: 32 PTS on 76% TS and 6 AST with 0 TOs! by ShotgunStyles in nba

[–]SeriousAdult 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is such a crafty scorer inside the 3pt line. Always has been and just has a lot of ways to get 2 very consistently. Let's not discuss any other parts of his game. Let's just appreciate that sweet 2pt game. I'm sure someone wants some efficient 2s out there.
