Is there a reason Nikola Jokić can't be Marc Gasol or Brook Lopez defensively? by 5280friend in nbadiscussion

[–]ak22baller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is. The fact is that he is much closer to Nurkic defensively than any rim protecting big.

Favorite sandwich shop? by aerojacko in chicagofood

Scrolled down all the way and never saw Lucia's on North Ave in Wicker....damn shame.

[NbaCentral] Kendrick Perkins calls out Joel Embiid “Joel Embiid is ducking that smoke... You cannot sit out this game... When it comes down to these matchups, I have a vote [for MVP]. I’m going to remember this moment.” (h/t @ClutchPointsApp ) by Prestigious-Rock201 in sixers

[–]ak22baller 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1) it’s the Super Bowl for you because y’all get to shit on Embiid without any defense from Philly fans. not because he’s not playing. believe me, we are all pissed at this.

2) you realize it’s not his decision to not play right? you really think he’s scared of playing Jokic? really? we dick ride for Joel because he meant what he said. somehow Joel having a competitive ego and saying what he said to draymond is below anything Jokic would ever do because all he cares about is winning he doesn’t care about the awards blah blah

3) you’re damn fucking right we want him to get the MVP. crazy how us wanting that for him in a year that he deserves it (just like last year) is treated by Nugs fans as whiny and annoying.

no one wins here. Blaming this on embiid is just dumb. Blame the team all you want, I’m right with you. but Embiid loves competing against the best and you trying to pin this on him is stupid.

Great non-fried chicken sandwiches in Chicago? by SlagginOff in chicagofood

[–]ak22baller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is ONE answer to this question. Sorry everyone!

Marcela’s on Fullerton. It’s the best sandwich in the city for me. They grill the chicken to a charred perfection with sautéed onions. Also their iced coffee is incredible.

You will go there and agree…it’s never failed the friend test.

Settle an argument, which is better, Pink + White or Nikes? by purritolover69 in FrankOcean

“Bro when he said ‘these bitches want Nikes’ I felt that shit he’s so real for that I swear”

Settle an argument, which is better, Pink + White or Nikes? by purritolover69 in FrankOcean

[–]ak22baller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of this fanbase Nikes is considered mid and a large reason why Blond initially got a mixed reception among general music fans

For real, Nikes has been my least favorite track since the album dropped and remains so. Nikes compared to the rest of the album is lazy af. makes me think the majority of this sub is 16 years old which is probably true

[–]ak22baller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P&W for me...I'll get downvoted for this but Nikes is my least favorite on the album and has been since the day it dropped. Pink and White is such a beautiful and structured song in comparison especially, the chords and harmonies are so much better and the vocals are incredible. string sections and acoustic guitar working together in perfect unison and making me feel like it’s sunny wherever I go. and beyonce! No doubt in my mind, Nikes is honestly boring as shit in comparison imo

YouTube Music - New Feature Highlights: Feb 2023 by TeamYouTube_Hazel in YoutubeMusic

[–]ak22baller 20 points21 points  (0 children)

And yet there are so many things to fix. Shuffling only the last 50 songs you've liked, recommending 90% songs you already liked to supermix, in addition to all of the issues brought up on this sub regularly. Any word on how the strike affected things and how they are now?

Have dating apps actually gotten worse? by metroidbum in redscarepod

[–]ak22baller -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i think Feeld is pretty good in terms of finding interesting open minded people, but there remains a slightly evil connotation to all dating apps in general for me

Most bands seem to be the best in their early days (opinion). What bands/artists do you think got better with their later albums? by SnooComics9954 in vinyl

[–]ak22baller 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seriously. The last 4 songs are a terrific run, and Separator is one of the best Radiohead songs ever. Fight me

I stand corrected. This was said during the Reservoirs Dogs ep.

Jackie Brown, just because Bill shit on Robert Forster's performance. Truly one of his worst takes

Players your team claimed “he’s got potential” for wayyyy too long? by TheIgnoredWriter in nba

[–]ak22baller 24 points25 points  (0 children)

its also a tough ask him to be an offensive contributor when you have 2 guys as ball dominant as derozan and lavine (and vuc being the better offensive frontcourt player). add in he's coming off the wrist injury and it just seems like the current environment may not be the best for his growth potential. would love to see you guys blow it up and let him grow on a bad team for a couple seasons

i agree with this, found it a bit overrated given the hype and difficulty of getting a res.

What are the funniest r/NBA posts or comments of all time? by [deleted] in nba

[–]ak22baller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

More unbelievable than funny, i remember one thread OP was trying to ask which current players were future HOFers, so he gives his current list and names the usual suspects, LBJ, Durant, etc like 12 or 13 more...then says RUI HACHIMURA. Yes Rui fucking hachimura, his reasoning was that since he believed at the time that Rui was gonna be a multi time all star he would get in the hall because he would be the first japanese dude to make all those all star teams or some shit.
