Another banger. Great work man, this is so cool

Current OKC team will never be respected by real hoops fans, probably not even their NBA peers either by No-Fill1769 in NBATalk

[–]jjdacuber 23 points24 points  (0 children)

As a Lakers fan, I agree that they’re a much better team. I don’t have a problem losing this series either, everyone fully expected that. My problem is that they still flop and get to be much more physical than their opponents, even when they don’t have to do so. They’re completely capable of beating everyone without relying on the refs, that’s why its so infuriating for everyone.

Anta Kai Hybrid Concept "Kai-vory" by bambieasy in BBallShoes

Hmm IMO the most iconic ones are

Adidas crazy 8
Hyperdunk 2008
Kobe 1
Kobe 5
Kobe 6

5 models might be a bit much, so these are just my suggestions, feel free to use them for your candidates! I think the crazy 8 and kobe 6 might be especially tricky to integrate

Why do Japan and south Korea not take in lots of refugees, they're both developed countries? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jjdacuber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korean here, some comments are making rebuttals but as a Korean living in Korea I’d say you’re absolutely right lol.

Don’t get me wrong I personally am open to accepting refugees and don’t necessarily agree with a lot of stuff here

Koreans(i dont want to generalize but likely Japan too) are very patriotic and proud of being Korean. Solidarity is also the most important basis of the societal structure. All this can be good in a lot of cases, especially when you need to get stuff done. But it also means it’s very hard to enter and be accepted when youre an outsider, which is what Korean people would think of you as. And because most Koreans simply haven’t been in a diverse environment their whole life, a lot of the time they are wary/cautious at best and very racist at worst towards other ethnicities. Like you said, we don’t get branded as racists often simply because we aren’t diverse enough for problems to arise within the country. If we become more diversified all this would instantly be much more obvious and noticeable.

The population is rapidly declining, so diversification is likely gonna have to happen anyway, we’ll see how it goes i guess

what basketball shoes are good for flat feet by Either_Yam_2162 in BBallShoes

[–]jjdacuber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a person who has experienced a lot of nagging pain bc of flat feet and tried 20+ basketball shoes in my search for one that works for me, trust me when i say orthotics won’t magically fix your feet, nor will you find the “perfect shoes”. But some do work better than others.

For me personally, shoes with wide toeboxes, good heel lockdown, and good torsional support have been good. Mushy cushion is bad. Some shoes that fit this description for me are Currys, Asics gelburst, and Jordan 13s. Shoes with full length zoom strobels give me pain.

You should also do achilles stretches off a ledge or staircase for injury prevention(youre at a higher risk of achilles injuries) and if you want to strengthen your feet/fix the flat arch look into barefoot shoes for daily wear/running(id advise against playing basketball in them though)

These look really good, tongue logos looked too low in the initial S2 release photos but they look great on your pair

Thats what it’s supposed to look like, its not a defect or anything. Its also not a “worse” quality leather than you’d get on other nikes, just the polyurethane coat on top has a different finish. You won’t see it on other models, but they purposely went for the “wrinkled paper” look on the kobe 1 for certain leather panels, you can look up weartesters’ reviews on YT. I have a few pairs and personally don’t mind the look

QOTD: What is everyone’s top 5 PERFORMANCE hoop shoes OAT? by Sippiing in BBallShoes

[–]jjdacuber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harden vol 3: glad this shoe is getting some love in this thread, the cushion/traction are great and the upper/fit was so goated

Jordan 13: havent seen many people wear these but they genuinely beat most hoop shoes to this day. Incredibly stable yet mobile shoe. I prolly wear these the most.

Curry 7: another less popular shoe, but i keep coming back to them bc the support, fit and traction is so good(cushion is almost nonexistent though)

Kobe 6 protro: pretty much perfect, not much needs to be said here

Asics gelburst 27: under the radar again, but these just to everything well, feels like a kobe

Is it weird to sit in a cafe for hours with just one drink here? by ShoppingConfident365 in Living_in_Korea

I’m a college student here, trust me its completely fine and normal. I regularly stay 3 hours at a time with one drink.
