The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[rolaholic]

JB really used to make decent sigs for their guys, CP's line used to have some nice models and Melo's line was mostly always on point.

Used to see them on courts regularly too

Knicks fans, the Joker shall be the instrument of our vengeance.

I don't even hate the Heat, what they're doing is impressive.

Not been making it easy on himself but he'd be the fall guy essentially tbh.

Their stars are as responsible for the ongoing flame out right now than anyone

Used to be a big bean hater like I've already said numerous times , still not something I take pride in now though. More embarassing than anything to current day me

Basketball became much more enjoyable after ditching that hater lens so even though I've still got my favs and those I dislike, I always try to give credit where credit is due no matter where I stand now.

Ironically, Beans story of all is what made me rethink that whole mindset. Life's too fragile to get hung up on that super tribal **** and not get to appreciate some of the great things we get to witness for irrational reasons.

Why no matter what, it'll be a genuine sad day for me and everyone whenever someone like Steph/Bron/KD retires.

That's just me though, I know there's guys in here that'll go to the grave on that hater **** like the chronically wrong dude who quoted me

I feel you tho

Melo ! Hometown

Go Nuggets!

 

[Coupé It]

WELL DAMN


He’s like Washed but in disguise.

Which is way worse, at least Washed is open about his bias.

 

[picasso swerve]

These were the first "Jordans" I had.

This was Melo's best shoe. The memories.

[WASHED KING]

I mean his posts weren't wrong lol.

I too gave up slandering Kobe after his tragic passing. Still don't rate him highly as a player, but I liked who he was becoming post his playing career.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Hol up, dudes was walking around in Melo's?

 

[WASHED KING]

Every Jordan sig that wasn't made for Jordan is/was terrible.

Melo, Wade, Zion, Tatum, Luka, CP3 all trash.

Don't think my biases are hidden at all to anyone on here paying attention

Got a very different outlook in 2023 than 2016 me though

[WASHED KING]

Everyone up here is bias.

[WASHED KING]

He called him **** boy just for being great.

Bro I ain't know it was in horfords face hahahaha

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Who they trading for Jaylen Brown? They can't justify paying both.

 

[storm2006]

These were the first "Jordans" I had.

This is a great thought…I’m trying to remember my first Js…might actually be Lightning XVII Lows

THIS BRO! I realized the hate was irrational.

This is the answer. Bought these from White Marsh Mall on the first day they came out. Had these and the “playoff” black and white.

White Marsh Mall I personally used to go to Towson Town, not just because it was closer but I thought their shoe stores had better selection.

Melo hof?

KD farewell tour?

 

[rolaholic]

Melo hof?

KD farewell tour?

Both are coming no matter what

Just not sure where KD's jersey is gonna get retired at though at this stage

 

[amitt5504]

Just need an “Al Horford over me” to cleanse my pallet. Tobias don’t deserve all the vitriol

 

[storm2006]

Everyone up here is bias.

But y'all like to lie

I disagree. I think there is a fine line between bias and preferences.

 

[WASHED KING]

He called him **** boy just for being great.

He was comparing Kobe bringing up Shaq to investigators to Dlo and the Nick Young situation. Honestly what Kobe did was 100x worse cause he was playing with another mans freedom.

Objectively speaking that was pretty **** boy behavior.
