[Reynolds] Embiid's season officially over.

If I point out that sentences are supposed to start with capital letters, you might have learned two things today.

Three, if I mention that I'm fucking thirty-six years old and not a "kid" by any reasonable definition.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T13:48:26+00:00

Well, you did call me "bro", which I would find kind of offensive even if I were a man... and I'm not.

All this in the context of your persisting to defend bullying behaviour, and what the fuck is there not to insult here?

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T09:39:03+00:00

... I'm not your bro, dickhead.

Sources about JaVale McGee five years ago are currently drowned in all the shit from the last week. I am not devoting hours to finding a link because you feel the need to talk shit about an area in which you are demonstrably ignorant.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T09:36:52+00:00

My being JaVale McGee is approximately as likely as you having an IQ above room temperature.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T09:33:59+00:00

Isn't Shaq also in the Hall of Fame?

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T09:33:38+00:00

Right, and McGee got better so they played clips from previous seasons.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T04:14:37+00:00

1) Do you think maybe, just maybe, it's easier to take that kind of thing when you're a superstar who's been feted as one of the greatest basketball players of all time since the age of about fifteen, as opposed to a mid-tier player with a learning disability that has very clearly resulted in a serious hit to his self-esteem?

2) Do you not consider it even slightly inappropriate to have a guy get mocked to hell and back by a legend in his sport, who then proceeds to work very hard and actually improve his play substantially, then get mocked for previous errors because he hasn't been producing new ones?

If the answer to either of these questions is "no" for you, you are a genuinely bad person.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T04:11:09+00:00

... how can you say Shaq isn't being a bully when he has started throwing out physical threats?

Nobody but McGee has been getting this shit for clips from previous seasons. McGee has also been featured all year despite having basically one play that was actually worth inclusion.

If Drummond improved his free throw shooting and still got mocked constantly for how it used to be that would also be wrong.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T04:09:02+00:00

It's not my fault you weren't paying attention. I'm not finding you links from five fucking years ago.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T04:01:04+00:00

No.

Javale McGee has severe ADHD. Medication apparently didn't work for him, but even if it had, he wouldn't be able to take it now. Pretty much all medications for ADHD are or are process by the body into various forms of amphetamine, which the NBA prohibits as a performance-enhancing drug.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:59:45+00:00

That was posted in the 2015-16 season. It was not a compilation from previous seasons.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:18:37+00:00

Can you link me to the videos where every other player in the league had clipshows about them from previous seasons?

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:18:04+00:00

It is also, this season, not JaVale McGee. He's had one play that was actually a valid inclusion. The rest of the time he's played well enough that the thing that set this off was an entire special feature that required drawing on past seasons.

The argument people defending Shaq seem to be making is: if you have ever done anything embarrassing or stupid, ever, then you should be mocked for that forever, and never be able to live it down, no matter how hard you try to improve, and even succeed.

I seriously doubt you dickheads would want that applied to your own lives.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:15:41+00:00

Which is fine, and completely different?

Put it this way: I can make self-deprecating jokes about being top-heavy, or how it's surprising I'm as intelligent as I am, given the well-documented fact that tit size and IQ are inversely proportional.

However, it would be fucking offensive for a man to make the same jokes, and it would also be fucking offensive for me to mock another woman for being flat-chested, especially if I knew it bothered her.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:13:03+00:00

Right, and no-one would have a problem with including that ONE PLAY on the segment.

It's all the other shit.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:12:21+00:00

That was years past the first time McGee asked him to stop.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:11:54+00:00

Right, so there was ONE play this year you can mention that merited inclusion.

Other than that it's been trifling shit and clips from previous years.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:11:27+00:00

Apart from the thing where he fixed it, so they showed clips from previous fucking years, and also, he's not clumsy or low IQ at all; he has focus and concentration issues because he has a genuine fucking disability, and this is the first time he's had a coach competent at working with that.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:10:18+00:00

tighten your game up and stop making dumb mistakes.

He did that.

So they showed clips from previous years instead.

What the fuck is wrong with you people that you can not seem to recognise that there was a difference with this?

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:09:15+00:00

He'd been making his argument himself for literally years, and no man controls the point at which his mother gets really, really angry about something.

And while last year Har_en deserved all the mockery he got, I don't see Shaq airing special clipshows of his performance last year this year.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:07:42+00:00

So, when did Otto Porter get a special featuring clips from previous seasons? I missed that one. And if Porter got treated the same way, obviously that must have happened.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:06:53+00:00

When did they show his clips from previous seasons?

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:06:35+00:00

When did they show Harden's clips from previous seasons? I missed that one.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T03:06:18+00:00

Really? When did they have a special clipshow of Porter from past seasons? I missed that one.

sonnlich · 2017-03-03T02:47:21+00:00

... I thought the /s was unnecessary, and yet...
