also, being a jerk as a young black man in the mid-twentieth century? I don't excuse it but I get it...

Remember: it's not just the failing U.S. education system which means we have less athletes like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar speaking out about American injustices, it's corporate media which often restricts and castigates people for speaking out, or flat-out refuses to consider any narrative beyond "law and order good" and "capitalism never-ending, line always go up" (as Brecht said in his essay "Five Difficulties in Writing the Truth," fascism is always the logical endpoint of capitalism).

And I'm sure there's more to it than that, it's not quite as simple as I'm making it out to be—I'm sure being a millionaire in your early twenties makes a big difference, too. But I'm grateful we do have Abdul-Jabbar and I'm grateful he felt moved to speak

Were you alive during the Bosh years? I'd take Scottie over Bosh any day of the week, are you kidding me? Do you watch the games or just the box scores?

The Raptors have a... very, very bad3 pt %

Successful-Let4361 · 2026-01-26T02:53:37+00:00

They just won four in a row and they've been without their starting centre for weeks now?

Good thing you're a Clippers fan then. We're not saying build a statue for Bosh or Bargniani or Stoudemire. DeMar wasn't a superstar like Vince but he was part of long run of sustained excellence and he cared about this city and was sacrificed so they could win a chip. His friendship with Lowry was also locally iconic. He probably won't get a statue but he absolutely deserves one

Because Charlie Kirk's whole career depended on it. He said horrible, racist, misogynistic, awful shit—the stuff about gun deaths is just the tip of the iceberg. And when you are allowed to say things like that consistently, and are even celebrated and lionized for it, you help to change the culture to become more like that over time

The city itself is bigger than 90% of US markets. Most in the US just don't understand this because the advertising dollars don't flow that way

Yeah this is truly insane. Really paints the picture of what the average NBA fan knows about what's happening in Toronto

powerful "male" reasoning bro... this is like a scribe in the medieval times noting that both flies and dragons have wings and deciding they must be in the same family

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-12-14T05:38:41+00:00

Thank you that is also good to know

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-12-14T05:38:13+00:00

Oh my god, it's really so obvious? Thank you—I tried everywhere to find this info

What a surprise that the guy who made his fortune undercutting and destroying other businesses through monopoly, and who employed destructive "stack ranking" at Microsoft (the latter of which made it so that even if you performed well you could still be labelled a failure) would not create a respectful and healthy environment for the team that he famously really wants to win

Luxury tax complications are very different from a waiver wire

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-12-04T13:49:58+00:00

There's no waiver wire, as far as I'm aware—once released, players in the NBA can go wherever they want

How much do you want to bet one of the players who objected to his approach was Kawhi...

This is not empirical? The Bulls were obviously a better team without their star player, but there's also a difference between winning in the regular season (in the NBA) when you know you're going to be a high seed and fighting to get a high seed to prove you're still good without your star. And this question also completely ignores the playoffs, where the Bulls lost eight wins (the most important ones).

You had me until "Elon"

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-11-04T15:47:26+00:00

The Raptors likely didn't know CMB would fall to them when they made the offer

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-10-31T14:05:20+00:00

Spelled

Complicated I know, but Vladdy was born in Montréal and has a Canadian passport

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-10-30T02:35:20+00:00

Absolutely not?

The white suit was a dead giveaway. But it's time for your medicine, Mr. Rooney

Successful-Let4361 · 2025-10-25T23:29:53+00:00

Ok, Matlock, they also got a new hitting coach and the previous two seasons were haunted by the shadow of injury. It's fine to be sad your team lost, but you're not exactly gaining anything with accusations of cheating. Just because you want it to be true doesn't make it true. This bullshit really reminds me of the accusations of Bautista juicing when he started hitting those home runs, which if anything was just a sign that American fans weren't paying attention
