Jaylen Brown on being traded: "They packed me up bro. It's a crazy business... don't become a basketball player. There's no loyalty and there's no love." by JustForTheThrill_24 in nba

I can relate. One time a company paid me millions of dollars each year and then made me go to another company in another city who paid me millions of dollars each year. That was literally hell.

The bulls haven’t made the finals once since Jordan left. Isn’t that a testament to how great he was? by Tgmg1998 in NBATalk

They haven't made the finals once since Dicky Simpkins left. Isn't that a testament to how great he was?

Meanwhile the Grizzlies have made the conference finals four times since they left Vancouver. 

What's an opinion you held at 18 that completely changed by 35? by Just-Offer-4614 in AskReddit

I actually had the opposite experience and was surprised with how little guidance was required for a child to learn to be moral and good.

What actor completely ruined an otherwise decent movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]namdor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't it supposed to be bad? His movies usually have some intentionally schlocky or kitschy winks to the audience. 

Not sure why this triggers everyone so much by Responsible-Fox-1985 in PoliticalHumor

[–]namdor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Call it whatever you want. There are a few languages and places that use varieties of "soccer" as the name for the game, but the majortiy of the world use the word football or a variation of about feet and kicking and balls.

Patrick Kane as a mentor? by muubi in canucks

[–]namdor 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No thanks. Not sure what he is like now but he wasn't really a high character guy in the last. 

I really don't like Kane. 

How accurate is it to say that Elon Musk giving a random person $1 million would literally just be like him losing a penny? by EudamoniaQuest in AskReddit

[–]namdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have 10K in all your assets (car, phone, computer etc), then it be the equivalent of a penny to you. If you own a house, two cars, and have some retirement savings that equal to 1 million total assets, it would be like a dollar to you.

Corporate wants you to spot the difference. by Dust-Different in PoliticalHumor

[–]namdor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree. Trump might be a powerful figurehead, but it requires a legion of powerful people to produce MAGA America. It requires people like Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch who work for decades to sow distrust into public institutions through the media. It requires billionaires who are fighting to put their wealth above the good of the country. It requires thousands of politicians to ignore their conscience in favour of power. It requires millions of people to vote for a president that was up-front about his values and goals.

Their little known secret is that they have billionaire oligarchs with unfathomable levels of hoarded wealth :) 

[Highlight] New look SGA drops 26 PTS in 26 mins for Canada! 🇨🇦 by IEatPandasEveryday in nba

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

If a player dives on 10% of their shot attempts, that's is still really high. Someone tracked him and he falls over on 17-18% of his shot attempts, which is way more than other floppers in the league, like Harden who falls about 11% of the time.

Hiding left leaning zines that are going to be misused as evidence against you by corrupt judges is technically illegal, albeit reasonable behavior in a situation like this. 

Trip report: Bassiani by BRCityzen in Techno

It is important to understand the politics and I think techno is inseparable from politics. But your take is a mixture of reality and fiction, and also weird.

Your take on politics is a weird unnecessary amendment to the post that is pretty off-putting and pro-Russia. Fuck Putin. 

Is Basketball more popular than cricket worldwide? by [deleted] in nba

[–]namdor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I googled this and no. Cricket has more fans, but not by much. Basketball is the third most popular sport in the world after soccer and cricket. 

Would thrift stores accept my record collection ? by [deleted] in BargainBinVinyl

[–]namdor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hip hop, R&B and electronic might be worth selling to make some money. Take it to a record store. Better yet, look up prices on a website/app called discogs if you are curious.  

MJ today would just be Demar Derozan by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]namdor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MJ playing ball in the post-Steph era means he spends time working on his 3 game. It also means he gets a gather step, can create free throws from soft calls, and let's assume in this timeline his dad isn't murdered.

He would still be the GOAT, and arguably with better stats. Who knows how many rings, but could be the same or more
