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

And it very much seems feasible doesn't it

I would agree; however, it's still his choice and I really don't care the reason(s), so the intense backlash is strange, but funny to me.

Kinda hate how the two best games are on at the same time

I finally accepted this season that I cannot watch more than 1 game at a time. I always used to try and not pay attention enough to either game

Risk free investment is crazy

If you watch documentaries on smoking they were literally making the same arguments. Smoking was once considered risk free and cool until people got cancer and their lives were ruined. With that knowledge in mind and knowing how devastating gambling can be, we actually know better and are choosing this nonsense. Profits over people

It is crazy how gambling went from a dicey underground activity limited to Vegas and degenerates to this mainstream thing. Gambling has always hurt relationships but the easy access is making it worse. No shade to anyone but gambling culture has even negatively impacted NT. Dudes used to throw a couple of dollars here or there and now we have a thread dedicated to betting lines.

I'm sure we've mentioned this but that's just like weed... it was so evil all those years and now what

Mark my words, Ketamine is the next to be accepted .... (at least it should be)

Meanwhile something like alcohol is normalized and celebrated

I like to watch “old” shows on Netflix and Hulu and as recently as 2016 you had shows saying how evil weed is.

I always chuckle when ESPN and NBA sprinkles in a PSA about gambling addiction and getting help.

They know they have to cover their asses

The disclaimer after an NBA Today episode would take up 90% of the screen

He wasn’t betting But these apps suck because it’s all in the palm of your hand, all it takes is a hot hand, run and your addicted

But his broke *** wasn’t gonna go to the casino since he had no cash. Went the CC debt route and screwed himself.

I was addicted last year but in never let myself get in over my head. Took some big Ls and chasing but I’m smarter than that plus I suck at betting

Players will absolutely try harder during ASG weekend too if that game ever happens.

There will be ALOT pride on the line.

They’ll play up the competition.

That’s what the Olympics/world championships for….The overseas players don’t care about all the all star stuff, it’s not a thing to them growing up they just know it’s what we do here…Jokic n Luka were the least serious this past all star game
