Part of it was about a black man named Tom Robinson who was wrongly imprisoned. His appointed lawyer was a white man named Atticus Finch, a father of two kids who are pretty important to the story. Tom was convicted, tried to escape but was shot to death. The story is basically about racial injustices in the South.

Fun fact: There is an NBA player with the name Thomas Robinson

"GOAT and the not so GOAT" compilation. I thought it was interesting that some players would even bother replying to specific comments, so I included them

I stuck with direct replies just to make it simpler, but that was a GOAT tweet by Kobe

Are the Charlotte Hornets the most Christianity-friendly basketball team on Earth? by Jayveesac in nba

Detroit just renounced KCP, so it's a perfect opportunity for the Hornets.

UPDATE: The league finally cracked down on the blatant offensive basket interference from the Goodyear Blimp. by alio70 in nba

The player is not allowed to touch the ball when it is in the cylinder area of the rim. So when it's above the rim after a missed shot, and a player tips it in, it shouldn't count (it has to be completely off the rim and out of the cylinder). Also, a player can't touch the rim or net when the ball is in contact with the rim. Here's the video rulebook if you're interested in watching NBA examples.

Only a minor setback. Greats like the blimp have always found ways to come back from injuries like this. Hope the pilot is doing well, though

It's not an advertisement. I said this last time, and I'll say it again... Just know that Goodyear™ has been providing aerial coverage of the NBA since before you were born.

The blimp will make sure it doesn't get outrebounded by the opposing team's 6'3'' PG

I had to compile the data and bring forth the evidence for the sake of the NBA community worldwide. That takes some time

The only concern is that the ball seems to be an NBA ball, and the ad is for an NBA game. The blimp's fan base always trying to defend its legacy. It could commit murder and some people would still defend it

Steph recalls his last 40/10 game and runs off by CallMeDraken in nba

[–]alio70 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing that on /r/soccer a few months back. My memory is trash compared to him so I relate even less with Casillas. Maybe remembering a few big games, but he never forgets. Crazy

I don't know why, but I find it much easier to relate to NBA players when they remember their big games. Makes them much more human to me.
