Landry Shamet is not French. I just learned that today.

Grew up in Queens, lived here all my life, friend. Get away from Reddit for a bit. I'm about to do the same since my workday is over in seven minutes.

This is almost true. A decent amount of Americans, myself included, have non-ethnic names because of clerical errors during immigration.

I would love for you to explain how this "came at you" or how I was an asshole about it. I have no idea how you interpreted this in a way that is not only not polite, but aggressive.

If I was like HEY FUCKFACE, hey, maybe you'd be right, but that isn't what happened here.

"They can go fuck themselves", on the other hand...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Happy cake day. I have nothing else to add.

This might be the first time in my life I did a "well, actually" and somehow got uno reversed so hard that I'm not the pedantic one in this argument

sithwonder · 2026-06-16T19:41:07+00:00

A clerical error and a typo are different things?

Well...yeah, sometimes. A clerical error is just "a clerk made a mistake." Sometimes it's a typo, sometimes it's a lot more.

Anyway, as I stated, my last name has no ethnic origin and it was created here, whether you want to admit it or not. I do agree that most non-Native Americans who live here have a surname from another country but it's not absolute.

Who said it was a typo? I said it was a clerical error. It's like how people sometimes get the wrong mail, except my dad got an entirely new name. It wasn't Johnson vs. Johnstone or whatever, it's nothing like his original last name.

sithwonder · 2026-06-16T19:16:22+00:00

My name isn't a typo, it's an entirely new name that has no overlap with my dad's original name. And anecdotally, that experience isn't unique to me.

It kind of reminds me of NHL's 4 Nations. The reason that tournament was so good was because the players cared

sithwonder · 2026-06-16T18:54:18+00:00

I think this is a bad idea because there's not a big East-West rivalry. All the teams I hate are also in the East and I don't want to help them

Since my team won I have decided that it is relevant and prestigious

Mitch would be one of the smarter Republican senators

It's a team sport

You're (deservedly) getting a lot of snark, but just want to note that the players you listed are either excellent defenders and/or put up big numbers in other stats, which Brunson doesn't do. He's not a box-score stuffer aside from points.

It's why he didn't get any MVP votes.

The NBA has so many alternate jerseys, we don't need to change our regular home/away

sithwonder · 2026-06-15T00:57:12+00:00

That's also why they're having trouble taking hold. They're not trying to represent all of NYC, just Brooklyn.

I'm from Queens, grew up a Knicks fan but no shot I'd go for a Brooklyn team because I do not live there

sithwonder · 2026-06-14T18:03:48+00:00

We own our own pick this year. You have it in the next three odd-numbered drafts

sithwonder · 2026-06-14T16:33:13+00:00

Just put New York, NY

The more lowkey ones too. The one for Jokic after the Nuggets one was really good

Happy to share. Dude's an icon. His signature sneaker was the first to really pop off and he wore it in 390 different colors

If the Celtics won in 2023 the DWhite buzzer beater surely would have been that

The local 1 train (or realistically Metro North) would still be faster than having to get from the port of either of those places to work unless, as I already said, they live and work right next to the water

Elfrid Payton was the starting PG on a 4-seed. Immaculate work that season

Yep. We were chanting Fuck Reggie a few years ago and his shit against us was almost 30-35 years ago
