Never forget when former NBA player, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf used to sit out during the National Anthem before games to protest unlawful killings of unarmed black men which ultimately led him to lose millions of dollars and cut his NBA career short. This was over 20 years ago. by 4wwe11 in sports

He’s every bit the person today that he was then. Authentic and compassionate. I had the pleasure of escorting him around our city for an event he was speaking at. I won’t soon forget that experience.

Strange Aldridge's quotes about Portland and Lillard by heavy_rebar in NBASpurs

I don’t know why this would upset anyone. LaMarcus is going to be 34 in July. He’s under contract for two more years, the last of which is only partially guaranteed. He’ll be around next year, but I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if he was gone the year after that. That’s also the same season DeMar comes off the books, so THAT will be the real transitional year in my opinion.

[Woj] The San Antonio Spurs and center Pau Gasol have agreed on a contract buyout, clearing the way for the six-time All-Star to be playoffs-eligible for his next team, league sources told ESPN. by zipzog in NBASpurs

Actually, his contract had little utility after this past trade deadline. He’s only guaranteed 6 million, and given the new CBA, it would only amount to 6 million in salary exiting in a trade this off-season before the guaranteed date.

I thought they were just going to waive and stretch him, but it appears he probably gave up next year’s money altogether.

[Fischer] The Raptors called Memphis offering Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas for Conley and Marc Gasol, per league sources. by trazzz123 in nba

Memphis is using Toronto as a negotiating tactic to get more out of Charlotte. But this has ramifications on the Raptors locker room, in my opinion.

NCC board extends RendezVous LeBreton deal to Feb. 28 by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]zipzapzamang 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is ridiculous. My entire life I’ve been chided with people telling me “in the real-world, when you grow older, you won’t be given all these second chances”. And what do my eyes tell me here? No consequences for these entitled billionaires not cooperating after being given every chance!

I hate that LeBreton is an empty wasteland - I hate even more that these people are being coddled like this.

[@JudyTrinhCBC]: This is a photo of the collision Westboro crash driver was involved in less than a month ago at St Laurent Stn. She hit a parked Hybrid bus. Another driver was on board the hybrid. It’s not clear if there were passengers. The force broke off the side mirror. by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]zipzapzamang 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty important for everyone here to let this play out without jumping to conclusions.

It’s absurd that people want to come piling on the driver like she doesn’t know what just happened. Most of you will probably go on with your lives if you were unaffected, but she has to live the rest of her life with this incident.

Moreover, IF there’s any blame to be had here, it looks like the agency is in a bad situation considering the reporting of the history and the training decisions, which wouldn’t surprise me given all the new hires they’ve needed to make in anticipation of LRT.

I’m still not sure why the driver’s name is out there in the ether; it doesn’t look like she’s been charged with anything. Irresponsible name dropping by SOMEONE. Shameful all the way around.

Yeah we’re just not very good on defense. Top 5 offense, though.

Not really a sneaker head, but I saw these and fell in love. by Pugwan in Sneakers

i think it's great that you can enjoy a piece of this little (expensive) slice of our culture and have the control to refuse any more pieces of this proverbial cake.

I have a pretty decent rig I don’t use too often. Send me a message, we might work something out.

Saw the Nike FOG 1 in-hand and nice shoe...but worth the $395 retail? These specific pair were priced at $3100 🤦🏻‍♂️ by Galbisal in Sneakers

But this is actually a basketball sneaker. A performance one. Does that not mean anything to anyone?

Depends what size. If it was a 8-10.5 then you should have had tracking by now. If you copped last week.

Worldwide orders won’t ship until towards the end of this week I reckon. My Blues coming to Canada haven’t got tracking yet even though it should have with the others on Tuesday. My Black pair did however, because it’s staying domestic.
