The Official NBA Season Thread: Fries Discourse | Mavs vs Jazz

[MajinZuub]

as someone that was usually the sole Laker fan anywhere they went in the Bay growing up, I got a lot of Kobe hate projected on to me

 

[pmatic]

I wonder if espn will ever get back to solid all around coverage of all sports. This overanalyzing basketball hot take culture has run its course imo. Was tatums bostons best player last night smh. What a silly topic

It won't.

 

[JD617]

Don’t let my posts distract you from nick. being on an all-time tun this postseason. Grade A stuff he’s been doing

He posted the Celtics' minutes totals yesterday in a game that went to overtime.

I respect it.

 

[rbk93]

Vince Carter was more popular than Kobe from like 99-01/02

I don’t know about this.

I grew up around AI/Kobe fans though.

 

[clyde the glide]

Couldnt stand young kobe. He was incredible but was much easier to root for iverson,vc, harpring, tmac.

 

[dacomeup]

I used to be able to just play BET and have Baby Boy, Love and Baketball or Diary of a Mad BW as background yamb audio

This as audio is NUTS .

 

[dacomeup]

Have you seen Wanderlust? Some good Malin Ackerman content in there.

Yup, watched that last week. She was great in that

 

[Maximus Meridius]

AI is basically a DMV _. He was more popular than anybody here. How he talk, his demeanor, all that. That's what people seem to not understand nowadays when we talk superstars/megastars and being relatable, having people gravitate towards to you.

_'s did not care about reebok until Allen Iverson. His shoes was everywhere in DC and PG county.

 

[trappedintime]

Can anyone point me to these “grown *** men and women” trying to stop his son and CC from playing basketball?

 

[JD617]

This is crazy.

This reminds me of someone on here posting the audio of Scarface on Cable/TV and he says…

“This towns like a whole big chicken ready to get plucked”

I couldn’t believe it

There's a bunch of comical lines in the clean version.

 

[MVP]

I got braids initially because of A.I. so can't deny the influence culturally that he had, it's when people tried to extrapolate that to the court stuff with Bean where I took issue.

Speaking of DMV hoopers

I spent so much money on We-R-One because of Steve Francis

 

[WASPS ANDD ASPS]

I know a guy from Alexandria who wore that alot in 05-06

Solbiato

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I can't wait to watch the hate from Draymond.

When I moved to arundel county in the 11th grade I stood out like a sore thumb rocking Hobo, Bonidacci, All Daz

Insane

 

[dman14]

It won't.

This
Hot takes and storylines drive interest. Nobody want to see x and o breakdown. As much as I enjoy Legs breaking down gameplay, folks rather hear from the likes of screaming a or perk.

That’s where ESPN lost me as a sports media outlet 15 years ago.

 

[nick.]

Saw someone say ESPN went from being a platform for a game to the game being the platform for Stephen A Smith, and I think that's the best way I've seen their decline described.

You talking NorCal? Lakers fans have always been around the Bay Area.

 

[pmatic]

It was always a joke back in the day that Bay Area was full of Filipino Laker fans.

Kobe was not even as revered on NT as people are acting like now.

During OJ Mayo’s rookie year there was a contingent of people in the NT NBA thread campaigning that he was better than Kobe.

I am 100 percent dead serious. It happened.
