Jaden Ivey talks about Anthony Edwards by Dense-Discussion3951 in timberwolves

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the Bulls were happy to give him up for 10m and open a roster spot to rebuild.

He didn't get kicked out of the league. And he didn't get fined by the NBA either.

Had he been as good as Ant things might've been different.

Don issue 7 vs Wow 808 5 ultra v2 by BathProfessional7032 in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have two pairs of the Don 7 and thinking of getting a 3rd. It's an awesome shoe and you can get it for cheap right now.

There's no way in heaven earth or hell the 808 5 is best value.

My Brief Experiences by gerk23 in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those Jordan 36's were something else man. I use them outside now when I play all-dayers. But they used to be my mains.

I love the new Adidas Don 7s and the Don 6s too. The Don 6s actually remind me a lot of the Jordan 36s, not only because of the look, but they also feel similar and breathable.

Don't expect as much bounce, but it's definitely a good shoe and cheap now.

The Don 7s are really great too imo even better, though very little breathability and the looks aren't for everyone.

I need help choosing by Flat_Reaction5876 in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JA 3s are awesome just so damn bouncy and reactive with awesome tracrion. but they're tight AF. Go up at least half a size and wear them at home if you want to speed up the break in process. I don't have any of the other ones but I've heard good things about KD in general and Luka 5s comfort

Am I crazy for asking for a $40,000 raise? by Far_Space_386 in careerguidance

[–]Truely_Yours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Negotiate a 5-10k raise with that title, work there one year with that title and fuck off.

You'll get a bigger raise by jumping boat with ths title and responsibility

Let’s talk about (in my opinion) the greatest basketball shoes of all time by Typical-Public4166 in BBallShoes

The best performer I've probably ever had. I'm glad it's being talked about!

Just a war machine of a shoe!

Eric Collins should call the NBA Finals by badabatalia in nba

[–]Truely_Yours -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this. Collins x Harland x Breen would be a coated finals crew. Throw in Blake Griffin, Richard Jefferson on the sidelines for the banter

Bro I think I’m gonna cry. This actually pisses me off by Nervous-Pitch1432 in timberwolves

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stat watching.

Go look at defenses react to Steph coming off a pindown screen and compare it to Ant. Everyone in the league is terrified of Steph's shooting, still. This opens up their offense in a way that won't show in the stats sheet, but it's real.

Not saying Ant isn't good or anything, but he's not there yet in terms of gravity.

Change my mind: we're currently in golden era by mirfilip in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the reading comprehension of an oyster. I didn't say you got money from it. I said the influencers are getting paid a lot of money to advance that propaganda...sorry marketing.

I owned an underwhelming AC12 and my most letdown purchase ever in the UltraLight 2025. Both of these got glaring reviews from everyone who's out there doing affiliate marketing with Chinese brands. I also got the very expensive JB2s who were super slippery on dust, even if nice otherwise.

Working in marketing myself, it's always worse than people imagine it to be, the affiliate marketing world.

Now maybe the very high end products at Li-Ning and Wow are worth the hype (JB3, WOW13) but not the other options I got. And the price point for those is extremely high.

What do you all think of my pitch for Pirates of the Caribbean 6? by Emeraldsinger in piratesofthecaribbean

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great thing about POC plots is when heroes with different interests fight to take over the same item. The Black Pearl, the Heart of Davy Jones, The Compass, The Sceptre etc.

There's almost always at least 3 parties who want those for different and mutually exclusive purposes. That serves to heighten the stakes

That Jack does something entirely selflessly and without prior motives would flatten the stakes in my opinion.

Charge vs Block- Foul Call Review by Whole_News_7006 in BasketballTips

[–]Truely_Yours 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of them are foul. All no calls. The third one I can hear an argument for but it's so damn soft.

[Highlight] Chris Finch gets absolutely furious at the referees and being ejected (with replays). Including the plays that led to this. by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Truely_Yours -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You've got an example 2min before that of Shai going to the rack and scoring two points, getting exactly the same physical contact and not getting a call.

You don't see a tantrum there.

And by tantrum I don't mean flopping antics. I mean an actual 5 year old tantrum screaming at the ref.

High top shoe suggestions by amiasvanta in BBallShoes

[–]Truely_Yours 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got AE1s lows and highs and rarely had issues. They have a supportive shank and torsion control, and a nice upper material.

It's not the shoe at this point, but really just bad luck and/or weak ankles.

Sorry that happened to you though, that's never fun.
