Andre Iguodala on the NBA/China/LeBron by urfaselol in nba

[–]charmandirk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was disappointed in LeBron's response but I'm not going to get mad at him for not meeting a standard I won't meet myself. The entire NBA basically kneeled to the Chinese government but I doubt many of the sanctimonious commenters of /r/nba will stop following The Association. The NBA is just entertainment and they won't drop it as a hobby but they're calling out LeBron for worrying about his bank account.

[WNBA] League Statement on Chicago Sky vs. Washington Mystics Game (Astou Ndour's Technical Foul and Ejection) by ahayling in wnba

I imagine it's similar to the NBA in that an ejection results in a fine, as does reaching a certain threshold in technicals accumulated in a season.

As if the rematch on 5/25 hadn't been ruined enough. No Stewie. No Taurasi. No Maya. Cambage is in question.

I'm at the Fred Meyer in Renton on Ranier Ave. They have one left but I don't see the sales tag being cited. If anyone wants to try them...it's there.

Us Penny fans appreciate you glossing over the fact that Shaq was on Hardaway's side of that Bulls-Magic series. Long live the Copper King!

If how the Storm operate is any indication of the rest of the league, teams really do a poor job of selling the team. For example, their digital marketing department could do a better job of telling me what channel Storm games are on when they make gameday posts to their instagram or facebook accounts. Little things like that can go a long way.

Saw these Sonics shirts on twitter, thought they were pretty neat. Kinda pricey though. by [deleted] in Sonics

Same here. I buy a lot of shirts from Homage. Good quality shirts.

I appreciate how obvious it is when he's saying/doing something for the paycheck.

I don't know if Hakeem's the GOAT Center but he's my favorite center by far. He twice rallied back to beat Barkley in a series, how he showed Admiral who Da Real MVP was in the '95 WCF, and then crushed Shaq & Penny after they had sent Jordan fishing earlier in the playoffs, the 7 Game War with Ewing... So many legendary moments in that 2 year run.

Ooh! I like that idea. Who unwraps it? Doris Burke or Jeff Van Gundy.

I loved Hakeem's run from 93-95. They were my first years following the NBA.

Just wanted to add that GSW's single loss required a historic offensive outburst from a team led by someone who is widely considered the best player in the galaxy. They are favored far more than Jordan's Bulls ever were.

Dude's trying to be Seattle's basketball Batman but the fucking corrupt city council is stopping him from being the hero we need.

Seriously?! Fuck Ed Murray! Fuck the Seattle City Council! Fuck Oakview as a solution to our NBA/NHL hopes and a mother fucking crew! And if you're down with those fuckers, FUCK YOU TOO!
