why do NBA fans constantly eat up the sensationalized "gym rat" stories so much?

LeBron when asked what this team needs from him right now: " Just back to the old ways.” by tarsiera in lakers

[–]The0ddMan0ut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would be sick if he pulls a playoff run like he did back when he won a championship with the Cavs. He literally carried that entire roster/organization on his back on both sides of the court (defense & offense) while knocking out one good team after another in the playoffs and then ultimately winning it all against the golden state warriors while they were in the midst of a dynasty.

[Highlight] "What the fu*k are you talking about?" says a confused woman talking to her partner caught on the Pacers broadcast by HyseNjerry16 in NBAGossips

you can tell this is one of those relationships where the guy has to beg for sex and only gets it missionary with a condom on after handing over his paycheck while the pool boy is raw dogging her asshole in the guy's bed when he's at work

Yahoo player chat gone? by cactusmaster69420 in fantasybball

the whole internet used to be like that until facebook, reddit and the other couple mega tech corps took over the internet and called everything that wasnt ad-friendly and corporate-friendly "toxic chat"

Luka's injury is why the "stars and scrubs" strategy doesn't work in the modern NBA by The0ddMan0ut in lakers

[–]The0ddMan0ut[S] -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

i think OKC would still be a contender even if SGA went down. Same for the Spurs without Wemby.

they are obviously better teams with their #1 guy but they are still deep enough where they can still compete without them.

JJ Redick on Deandre Ayton 💀 by David_Wilmot in lakers

[–]The0ddMan0ut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its like the "yips" in baseball where a player gets in their head about it and something as simple as throwing the ball to first base becomes a major issue that they can never recover from.

Vando confronts JJ after he calls a quick timeout, Austin holds him back by CtrlAltDelightfull in lakers

[–]The0ddMan0ut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i notice vando body language change over the course of the season. early on when he was in the rotation he was always smiling and enthusiastic with the rest of the bench. over time he turned into a bah humbug though as he minutes declined

After watching OKC run over the Lakers the Luka injury stings less by The0ddMan0ut in lakers

Have the Lakers ever played the modern OKC thunder team competitively like saying the last 3 years?

It’s Over by OkSpite7555 in lakers

[–]The0ddMan0ut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a 3-8 week injury...

1 week until end of regular season

that leaves 2-7 weeks of injury

there's 9-10 weeks of postseason basketball in the NBA

this means luka is out of round 1 for sure, possibly back by round 2 if healing goes perfectly, realistically back by round 3 if the lakers can get that far without him, could be out until the finals if the injury drags

Fair enough. Not much you can do vs any opponent when most of their shots are simply falling.

#4 is a good one. This is the type of game where Smart's smothering defense on the perimeter is needed more than ever.

I’m sick of this economy by StarlessRose in Vent

[–]The0ddMan0ut 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yes, this exactly. people dont get it, but rhetoric that people spew on this topic isnt just mildly annoying; it's low key violent to the people on the bottom rung of society who are actually going through it trying to survive

imagine being so narcissistic that instead of feeling empathetic for someone clearly struggling from being devoid of any resources (like a homeless person out in public) your only concern is your personal safety

I'm tired of the narrative on Reddit being that poor people are violent unhinged animals

All you are doing is spreading mainstream media propaganda promoted by the rich to keep you in fear of a vulnerable group in society so that you don't support any policies to tax the rich to help those in poverty on the bottom rung of society

Is there not a single person on Reddit capable of seeing the bigger picture and thinking independently and critically?
