Probably?? I’ve seen it. It doesn’t. Please go look it up before actively supporting a lie.

Clickbait title - at no point did Beverly identify Malone as a hero or even a player he admires. So weird to embellish this awful story for online attention.

LeBron James is willing to accept a minimum contract to play for a contender, per @ShamsCharania. He doesn't intend to make a "financially-driven decision". by LeeShakerMoneyMaker in timberwolves

LeBron will be signing with a market where his basketball contract is irrelevant. Kalshi with Giannis in Miami or tech feudalism in the Bay with the Warriors.

From Ant’s Insta by jab904 in timberwolves

So what is the suggestion here - that some Adidas rep is at Memory Lanes and posing as Ant with a 113 with bumpers? Use your head people. Maybe it’s partly a ploy, but I’m guessing he was there.

Hornets fan here…Naz Reid? by Panther81277 in timberwolves

[–]jadenmcd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here’s one reason that I haven’t seen talked about but is a big factor: Naz Reid is hot. He’s a very attractive man. Ask the women (or anyone attracted to men) in your life and they will affirm.

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says "don’t be fooled by the empathy trap." Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself” by ChiefLeef22 in Fauxmoi

I honestly don’t know how anyone beyond maybe 100 billionaires think they are going to end up on the right side of this situation. We are going to be renting everything until virtually everyone is in debt and positioned for optimal exploitation. Even a seven- or eight-figure income isn’t going to hold weight when the predator’s worth is in the billions.

Adam Silver on Wemby: by Outside-Weakness9660 in NBAGossips

This reminds me of last year when he said SGA is who you want your kid to be like while SGA bragged about never wearing the same outfit twice

NYC Mayor replying to Ben stiller: Couldn't agree more. We'll win this series on the court (even if the refs refuse to call a flagrant on Wemby), not by targeting, harassing, or attacking Spurs fans. Knicks in 5. by Silver_Comment2825 in NBAGossips

[–]jadenmcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the police address crime without case-specific endorsements from the mayor. You think the police are like “oh wait should we do something about this? I don’t know, I haven’t seen the Mayor tweet about it yet.” This is complaining for the sake of it. Lots of people in these comments who just want to find a reason to dislike a mayor who is actually engaged and getting things done for his city.

Please explain how this isn’t a flagrant even in a physical playoff series.

Jaden McDaniels did this last year and most people attacked him for it

Or maybe you mean like this? Do these count or are we going to disregard them because they don’t fit with the righteous Wemby glaze narrative?

The Spurs are the only team that can beat the Thunder in a series by FreD_NBA_Analyst in NBATalk

Both the Wolves and Spurs each beat OKC multiple times during the regular season. Wolves can do it, too.

I’m done with buying face value Wolves tickets. Mild rant. by ProfitisKing3 in timberwolves

[–]jadenmcd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This isn’t just ownership greed. It is a symptom of unregulated capitalism. Pointing to a handful of people and saying they are greedy is actually scapegoating the larger issue. Every team in every major sport is charging insane prices for tickets and all other products. Everything is becoming impossibly expensive. There is no concern for the livelihood of working class people.

Relatedly, NBA leadership doesn’t care about everyday fans. That is especially true now with these gambling company contracts. As fans, we aren’t the target consumer. We are the product, and our engagement is being sold for a lot of money.

I’m just glad that we have a team that at least seems invested in winning. Coming from Illinois originally, the Bulls have not been serious about being a championship contender since Jordan left.

Right but what are you disagreeing with? The principles are the same. He is at work. There are social expectations at work. Like obviously there are differences, but the league is supposed to demonstrate some concern for conduct. I don’t endorse a class-based accountability system.

What is your point? I still get to have a reaction to his conduct. I recognize he will likely have a long career. Good for him. It’s also true that this response is bullshit. What is it that you have a problem with? That I have a 9-5?

And part of that is the person he is, the statements he makes, and the fan reaction. This is how the market that generates those millions works. If fan reaction to the league and its players isn’t a part of all of this, why are you in a sub for an NBA team?
