I've only been to the one on Cedar Springs but yeah their lunch deals hit for the price. It's got a nice ambiance and a really cool bar, too.

My daughter was talking about dying her hair black during the quarantine, just to see what she'd look like.
Wife: With your light skin, you'll wind up looking nemo.
Daughter: NEMO?! Are you serious?!!
(we're both laughing loudly)
Wife: Yes. You're too fair skinned.
Daughter: I'm going to look like a little orange fish??
Wife: Why would you say that?
I have a feeling this isn't the last we're going to see from quarantine Trixie. If she's anything like the rest of us (which I hope to Jesus she isn't) her brain will accumulate a nice layer of covid fog.

Not really. Pettit and Havlicek were two of the greatest players who ever played the game. Pettit played a young Bill Russell to a standstill in the playoffs in the late Fifties. He made the All-Star team (in an undiluted league) in each of the 11 seasons he played. He averaged 26 and 16 for his career. He was a beast. Havlicek was a 13-time All-Star and far more important to Boston than Cowens. One of the great all-around athletes to ever play the game. Both Pettit and Havlicek were far greater than Ginobili, Sabonis, Cowens, or even Walton or Maravich for that matter.
I beleive Havlicek won at least one title without Russell, as well. (yep he won two - 74 and 76)

I bet he's still got that soft buttery jumper though.He does. I did a couple of his shooting camps at WAYA when I was a kid and one of my dad's first comments when dropping me off was "Man he's really let himself go".
But at one point he lined up on the baseline from about 18 feet and drilled like 25 straight jumpers. Those guys just never lose it.

Everyone should be doing this.
Ordered Streets Chicken last night and the setup was alright. Table blocking the door open to help keep distance from the guy running back and forth for orders. Tell them your name they bring food and sit it on the table and take your card.
Loved Street's the couple times I've been. Do they still do good work? I remember their collard greens being very on point.

Bro I'm not taking this anywhere else. You need to chill with the political, SJW shit on the sports boards and that's that. I'd like for this board to maintain some integrity throughout this crisis. So keep the partisan opinion issues to other boards right now.

Case in point - bring up shit like that in a different forum. Hugs and Kisses, go fuck yourself,

Its your fault that youre a bitch ass pussy. Or maybe your mom's. Too bad Karl Malone didn't get to her before your dad did. And you obviously give a fuck because you negged me about Magic even before the Karl Malone discussion occurred. So quit pretending you don't care and quit being a snowflake. This is your misdirection, but I am happy to go down it with you. Or you could just stop being a bitch and not reply to the Karl Malone part of this thread if you don't like it.
For the record. I didnt say a single fucking political thing in here. Aggie posed a hypothetical. Karl Malone couldnt play now because of his paternity issues. I replied that shit still happens and nobody cares. That was the end of it until you decided to inject your dumb ass shit. So instead, we can just do this for 2 or 3 pages. Your choice.
Don't worry man I'll just recapture it.
This is the bullshit you brought into this thread when previously everyone was trying to keep the discussion towards hoops:
Paul George is a deadbeat who fought paternity, but there are probably more. Porzingis faced a Kobe style rape accusation last year too. Domestic violence pops up with a variety of players.
I doubt anyone spread as much seed as Malone.

you're right. to say that he will easily exceeed Hakeem is too much. still, if i may rephrase my original statement, he projects to be the best European born player ever. the kid is truly an all-time talent for his age. he's amazing.
Oh for sure. I'm just catching you on a technicality. Luka is fucking amazing - and through 2 years is easily the best Euro ever - if not the best foreign player.

Good list but I would have Bird 2nd, Penders Jr in 3rd and Brandy Perryman in 1st.
You're such a waste of space shithead troll. I don't get why people like you think it's funny to take advantage of some societal downtime to go parade your dick around the entire board. Take it easier on the booze or ratchet down the peanut gallery.

that, and the fact that Luka is a transcendent player who projects to *easily* be the best foreign born player in NBA history by the time he retires.
I don't project Luka to be easily better than Hakeem, Derk.

Quit being a fucking bitch, bitch. Y'all brought up Karl Malone's transgressions
Seriously, you negged because I suggested Magic could possibly be the greatest. No politics at all. You're a fucking bitch ass pussy.
First of all it's not my fault you're a dumbass and make awful takes, second of all, it's not my fault that you go full CR in a lighthearted basketball discussion thread. Bringing up shit like paternity suits, rape accusations, domestic violence, and then further expressing your opinion on each. No one gives a fuck. Take it somewhere else. I'm not trying to talk about Malone having sex with underaged girls when the topic is top 10 players ever. Go to the CR for that shit.

The more I think about it, you probably have it backwards. In today's social media environment, Malone's transgressions would be a one day tweetstorm replaced by someone else's transgressions the next day and buried among everything else going on in the world.
The only dealbreakers now are rape and domestic violence, but even those aren't truly dealbreakers. Nobody cares about deadbeat dads now or then.
Bro this is a decent thread so far. Please for the love of God don't start bringing in political bullshit here.

People like to get bitchy when protecting MJ's throne. I get it. No discussion allowed.
And like I said, Dr J was ahead of his time. He invented the SF position that KD and Dirk played later. Who is the best light bulb inventor? Edison or the 2017 Phillips LED light bulb department?
There is zero argument for Magic over MJ and probably LeBron and Kareem as well. Magic was never an elite defender. The other 3 were for the majority of their careers, and were all basically just as good on offense.
As for your second line, Dirk never played SF. Maybe Dr. J influenced KD as a player, but I'm like 99% confident in saying that Durant is the better player. Dr. J played a lot of his career in a watered down ABA - and never really achieved true superstar status in the NBA after that. Dr. J's title with Philly was on the back of peak Moses Malone (probably one of the best 15-20 players ever) peak Mo Cheeks, and a fantastic playoffs from Andrew Toney who outscored Dr. J that year in the playoffs and on better efficiency.
Also you haven't even given your list @FondrenRoad. Nut up first.

Magic Johnson has a good argument for greatest basketball player of all time.
I probably don't have anything against you but I'm giving a rare neg here.
29 minutes ago, FondrenRoad said:Still, Hakeem, Wilt, and Kareem were all better individual players than Duncan and Shaq so I suppose they are easy to overlook.
Highly debatable.
And on top of that, no one in their right mind would put Julius Erving in the top 10. He's like a poor man's Dirk or KD.

Tucker was one of just eight unanimous selections, the others being Brady, Peterson, Joe Thomas, Marshal Yanda, JJ Watt, Aaron Donald and Von Miller. Pretty elite company.
The only two players to reappear from the 2000s list were Tom Brady (obviously) and... Devin Hester.

but a healthy Kawhi is just so freaking disruptive on the defensive end, and is just as clutch.
Kobe really wasn't that clutch. His FG% on game winners and shots in the clutch pales to some other prime scorers. I would take Kawhi or Durant in a heartbeat over Kobe with the game on the line - but I think Kobe made his teammates better in a way that Kawhi never has, and I think his intensity on both ends was more consistent than Durant.

No real objections to ranking KD over Dirk from me. I think I gave Dirk a slight edge just because his 2011 championship was impressive to me. That said, I think KD has a higher peak and without a doubt surpasses Dirk before he retires.
Barkley and Hakeem were past their primes when I really started watching, which is why I didn't mention them. Maybe I should reconsider just so I can get Wade off my list.
Dirk won at a very high level as the clear-cut best player on his team for a long time. But so did KD. Statistically KD is pretty much a tier up (actually, just in the regular season. They're pretty neck and neck in the playoffs - except Durant has considerably more wins through 12 years). He's also a better defender. But like you said, Dirk's 2011 run was pretty special. Durant hasn't carried a team like that to a championship (even though he obliterated the Cavs twice in the Finals).

I feel really bad for the Bucks. Best chance for the title in decades...and Greek Freak enters free agency in 2021. Time is tight.
Kyrie and Durant could be a problem next year if KD comes back 90%+
Philly is still young. Toronto is pretty young. Miami plays good ball. The Celtics are kind of loaded.
Definitely hits the Bucks the hardest if the season gets straight up canned. I think the Lakers should be fine. It would cost them a contending year but I don't think their chances would be any worse next season necessarily.

Top 10 white basketball players of all time.

Gasol was more than a role player. He was a 6 time all star and 4 time all-NBA player - and from 2009-2011 with the Lakers played at a near MVP level. His peak was better than Marc's by a good margin.
But on your larger point, yes, Dirk compares favorably to guys like Durant or KG as a leader, franchise cornerstone type player. Pau was never that.
