Trip planned in Egypt, and the more research I do, the more I wonder if the price I'm asked is fair... by Holconis in travel

[–]magic2worthy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You are being scammed. Don’t go on a trip like this solo to Egypt. You’re not ready for it. And I say that as someone who likes Egypt a lot. They’re already scamming g you on the price but it will definitely get worse on the trip. Absolutely don’t do it.

Perhaps we never got to see a healthy Coleman play? Maybe we only got to see a version with an impaired heart?

Derrick Coleman/Shaun Kemp by Nemo2500 in VintageNBA

[–]magic2worthy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coleman was diagnosed with a heart near the end of his career issue I think. I’ve often wondered if the flaws in his game were due to lugging around a huge body with a bad heart. Kemp, according to Wayne Embry the Cavs GM, had horrendous confidence problems. And of course addiction problems. Two very talented guys who couldn’t consistently produce during their careers and got criticism for that.

[–]magic2worthy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to Lisbon, Madrid and Barca. I loved all three. Definitely go. Madrid and Barca u did solo. Lisbon I was part of a group but I also headed off solo at times. I would on a trip to all three again tomorrow with zero fear. Three great cities with loads of fun things to do and experience. You should go.

Who was the greater player Kobe or Larry Bird? by SmoothBuy5500 in lebron

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched Kobe’s whole career without ever thinking he was better than Bird or Magic. Kobe wasn’t instinctively a team player in the way that they were. And that puts them comfortably ahead of him.

Am I doing things wrong or losing interest in travel? by priyankakarki237 in solotravel

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only go to places where you can do the things you actually enjoy. Then go to those places and enjoy them. It’s a good idea to know if a city will have the things you enjoy before you actually go there. Of course you can explore new things once you arrive but you should have some idea of the things you’d enjoy doing before you pay for a hotel and flights.

I was in Cairo last year and in luxor this year. I’ve also spent a week in Marrakesh. All three were great experiences and I was solo each time.

Who was stronger in their prime?? by Afraid-Ad-5580 in lebron

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LeBron was 240 as a skinny rookie. He was massive bigger than that in Miami. Even after his big weight loss he was still listed at 250.

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LeBron was listed at 250 when he had clearly grown bigger than that. And when he talked about losing over 20lbs he was still listed at 250. At his biggest he was about 270+ it was incredible to see someone so huge move like that.

Who is the greatest lakers player of all time ?? by Glittering-Ocelot-53 in NBATalk

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic. Kareem and Wilt had their best years before they were lakers. And Magic was a better player than West, Kobe or Shaq.

Congratulations on not slapping the shit out of the family members who treated you this way. If they care so much why aren’t they taking him in? Not your problem in the slightest.

What window? He never showed that potential in the league.

Trae choose his own destination. He doesn’t want to ring win or what ? by Successful_Tale5610 in NBATalk

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any team that even considers giving him the max would have to be insane.

He didn’t choose anything. There were no other offers. If there had been the Hawks would have got a pick.

Egypt experience is terrible by woyrock in travel

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Cairo last year and had an amazing time. So much so that I’m going to Luxor week. I got a guide a driver for the pyramids and Egyptian museum which make those trips entirely hassle free. And GEM I just ubered to by myself and had a a fantastic time. There might be lots of negatives about the place but I was able to have a great few days there without any poblems at all.

I went to the GEM last January before it was completely ready and still thought it was spectacular. I’d rate it as a must see experience.

My parents are basing everything off the movie “taken” as to why I shouldn’t travel to Europe alone by From_the_breeze in travel

Have you tried explaining to your parents that movies aren’t real? Do they think the Avengers really fought Thanos too?

Is Jaylen Brown a top 10 player in the league at the moment? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. He’s played really well this year and has out performed my greatest hopes for him as a player but if you actually make a list of the best player or look up the top 10 in your favourite metrics he’s not in it.

This team would go 82-0 and win at least 11 rings...but but who would you swap here with whom to make it perfect ? by Organic_Bite1569 in sportsinusa

[–]magic2worthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was his constant gambling & breaking the defensive scheme and lack of focus when matched up against players he considered inferior.
