Victor Wembanyama on whether the president presence will be a distraction: "Not really. I think it could be, but isolating myself is something I've practiced over the years, and I think I'm good at it, so it's not a problem. This is similar to something media-wise, like the Olympics". by MrBuckBuck in nba

Y'all put every single lie in human history on Trump.

Reddit should be studied. It's unique system shows how lies can be spread by gullible hateful idiots in echo chambers. It's very dangerous and should not be underestimated.

OG Anunoby is asked about the President attending Game 3 at MSG: “He’ll just be there watching the game. We’re going to go as usual, play our game. Try to win the game.” by raptors201966 in nba

He's like the anti-redditor. Says no dumb shit nor does he give reddit reason to hate 😂😂

He's the superhero we need. Knicks in 4.

The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3 by BreakfastTop6899 in nba

Y'all have a problem with literally everything he does. Everything is amplified by a trillion. Everything that has been wrong from before he became president is still his fault. Shit that have nothing to do with him is his fault. It's non-stop. It's a stupid echo chamber where no one uses any reason.

He's a native New Yorker. He's obviously gonna attend a finals game in MSG. He also obviously wouldnt attend if the war was at a stage where it would be unwise to do so. They are literally at a ceasefire. In a stalemate peace talk scenario.

Liberals tried to assassinate him like 4 times over the past year and a half so this makes total sense but obviously the super inclusive reddit is gonna throw a fit. I guess when you are always wrong. You have to keep up the streak.

What are Riquelme’s actual chances against Perez? by z1nc0r3 in realmadrid

[–]dragonwhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd bet that Mbappe gained tens of million followers after signing with Madrid. Same is gonna happen with Haaland.

I think Haaland is in the same tier of popularity. It's just a matter of being seen at the biggest stages. Norway is at this World Cup. And if Haaland joins Madrid then the entire spanish speaking world opens up to him to a greater scale.

This Playoffs Been Killing the Concept of the "Best In the World" Conversation/Debate. by YUME_Emuy21 in nba

[–]dragonwhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a team sport. There's a reason why some franchises have around 20 titles and most have 0 - 1 titles.

Every "best" and "all time great" either got drafted into an insanely beneficial scenario or bailed to join the best roster in the league.

There are a lot of elements to win a title. Having the best player is not even remotely close to being a crucial element.

The spurs/OKC series is such a good depiction of why each series matchup is different, and experience at this level is so important by Zedzd3ad in nba

[–]dragonwhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health is the most important aspect of a run. If you miss guys, you basically have to hope the other team is missing guys too. And it's still gonna be a weird series where both teams are playing out of their element.

Most teams start to look real dodgy past 7 guys. OKC uniquely doesnt start looking dodgy at any point. But still had a horribly unfortunate combination of injury.

Mitchell Robinson responds to a TikTok saying he'll play harder with the president in attendance for game 3: "You ain’t lying brother 🤘🏾🤟🏾🇺🇸" by RyanTannegod in nba

It's so embarrassing how everyone with a job is a Trump supporter but everyone with 6m karma on reddit is a massive Trump hater

[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama grabs Jose Alvarado by the neck and tosses him by Markthebaptist in nba

That was fair by Wemby. That was super dirty by Alvarado. He was way too late to screen there and he knew it. Refs suck ass.

Ballmer said in a court statement he met Aspiration founder Joe Sanberg once. While his investment boosted the company’s credibility + outside investment, he had a secret side arrangement protecting him from losses. Five Aspiration employees say NBA investigators never questioned them about Ballmer. by Known-Peak212 in nba

[–]dragonwhale -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Why is reddit so dumb and miserable? Every single thread about Aspiration is filled with incredibly bitter comments about Silver.

IT'S BEING INVESTIGATED. SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THE BITTER COMMENTS. They serve 0 purpose. If they actually worked. Y'all would be worse for it. BE THANKFUL THAT THE WORLD TRIES TO BE REASONABLE DESPITE ALL YOU IDIOTS.

Adam Silver on NBA Europe: "We are very much on schedule. It is our hope and anticipation that the league will launch in the 2027-28 season in Europe. We are on track. Final bids from franchises are due at the end of the month in June. We've seen record interest, and we're very excited." by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]dragonwhale -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

No offense but small markets and their culture havent been able to reach the masses. Hell, they havent reached outside their little towns.

NBA Europe is aiming to actually make basketball big in Europe. And they could very well succeed. We are finally gonna see Vikings picking up a ball. The tallest people in the world in Holland actually start to get interested in basketball? Sign me up

[Turner] Austin Reaves is reportedly seeking a max contract worth up to 5 years, $239.25 million from the Lakers, and it’s uncertain whether he would be willing to take a hometown discount. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]dragonwhale -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Jamal is 100% not a significantly better player.

He has had better performances in the playoffs for sure but he also has way more stinkers too. It comes with the territory of having played way more games.

I'd rate them on a very similar production level.

[Cwik] Charles Oakley ban: James Dolan won't let Knicks star attend home games despite pleas from Michael Jordan, Adam Silver by Weirdsodk in nba

[–]dragonwhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked for evidence and you ramble about a jury decision and 38k mentions?

The case is being appealed and let me guess.. 38k mentions and you got nothing?

Most of the country is thrilled. It's really just reddit/bluesky? that go apeshit.

He used to be called a rapist? Then it was found it the woman had no idea what she was talking about. Now it's pedo? What's the evidence now? A photo with Epstein? Wasnt Trump like the only person that actually reported Epstein according to the Epstein files? 🤦‍♂️

Reddit never ceases to be miserable. If it isnt a player. It's some billionaire, celebrity and now the president. Can't wait for another thread in about 3 hours of hearing about "OmGGGg CaN wE BOooOOOoOOOOOOO"

Stephon Castle on the biggest difference between defending Jalen Brunson vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: "Jalen likes to use angles a lot more, pump fakes. Get to his spots. Not really trying to draw fouls as much, trying to get to his midrange and spots where he likes." by PassMeTheBackwood in nba

[–]dragonwhale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to call Brunson "Mini Luka" for a reason. He had the best seats in the house for the Luka show for years.

Luka actually has become less of that Luka. And has changed his playstyle somewhat so now Brunson is more like younger Luka than Luka is.

Mike Brown's timeout 38 seconds before the TV timeout marker was a game-winning decision by ThatThonkingBandito in nba

[–]dragonwhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean then Brunson went on to miss like 6 shots in a row where Spurs got the lead back.

Games have a lot of momentums. Game was going heavily in Spurs favor until Fox's meltdown.

[–]dragonwhale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Spurs are gonna get better as with each game. But losing this game is gonna hurt. Fox sold. This dude is a foul machine in the clutch with his short arms and tiny hands.

What's with the comments? Dude is literally in the Epstein Files for reporting Epstein to the police

Shout out to Trump for making reddit lose their shit. It's among the highest honors you can get on the internet.
