  1. so it has something to do with the Rising Stars game then? weird.
  2. just stop it Miles Bridges. wow. he and his Hornets teammate Davonte Graham are putting on a show.
  3. these guys are putting on a show. mans seriously, myles turner is a better color guy (no racist) than many of the actual professionals out there.
  4. someone's out to get you bro. you bang anybody's wife over at ESPN?
  5. I don't know anything about his combine performance, but if he really did jump 44" then that's crazy impressive...yet also kind of crazy, because while I didn't see his combine performance, i've watched him actually play plenty, and he reminds me Gerald Wallace as a dunker, another guy who could throw down some really impressive in-game dunks, but who didn't have the freaky vertical leap and interminable hang time that the great dunkers had. i'll be very pleased to be proven wrong about Mr.Connaughton tomorrow night, because as I said it seriously bums me out how the dunk contest has almost become the afterthought of ASW for so many people.
  6. look to me it's this simple- the cop is the professional here. the cop is the one who is on his job and needs to be on his game. i don't think there's a single person here who isn't critical of the driver's actions, but at the same time we absolutely should not hold the random crazy pedestrian and the on-duty professional to the same standards in a situation like this. the professional in this scenario (a guy with backup, body armor, lethal and non-lethal weapons, and two perfectly functioning legs) made two mistakes here that simply can't be overlooked or absolved: 1)he put himself in front of the car. how anyone can act like this isn't an insane and out-of-protocol thing for him to do is beyond me. 2)he fired his weapon when he just as easily could have corrected his first big mistake by stepping out of the way of the slowly moving vehicle that he had inexplicably put himself in front of. If we're going to "back the blue", and treat these guys like the heroes they claim to be, then we need to hold them to a heroic standard. what this cop did was stupid and reckless, and it only escalated the situation 100x over in the blink of an eye, and now someone is dead and at least one other person likely has severe trauma that will stay with them forever. there's no justifying any of that. this could have and should have been avoided.
  7. Myles Turner is participating in the broadcast and he is legitimately good on the mic. he's calm, he's confident, he's smooth and well-spoken; Myles definitely has a career in broadcasting if he wants it when his hoops career is over. Also, he just interviewed Zion and called Zion "young fella", which made me realize that Turner has been a pro for five years already. the older i get the faster the time goes.
  8. I was trying to look up some stats on Brandon Clarke using the app, and the app will not let me click on his profile, whether i search him or actually go to @Radical Larry's team and try to click on him. anyone else experiencing this weirdness?
  9. The rookie game continues to be the most entertaining part of all star weekend, even though nobody watches it.
  10. quality post Rex. real classy too. and yes, the fact that you and many others think that failing to properly block in the vehicle upon arrival, followed by inexplicably putting himself in harm's way and then shooting to kill is "what any cop would do" is indeed a scary thought.
  11. the field: DJJ Aaron Gordon Dwight Howard Pat Connaughton
  12. the dunk contest could be epically awful this year if DJJ and Gordon don't put on an absolute show. having half the fucking field represented by Dwight Howard and Pat Connaughton is just awful. Connaughton might be the worst dunker in contest history. he has zero hang time and probably a 32" vertical. such a shame how awful the contest has become. used to love it growing up.
  13. Three former Horns are finalists to make the 2020 US Olympic team:
  14. Whoever decided to have Darius Miles mic'd up is a genius. the announcers are interviewing him live while he's on the court playing in the celebrity game. here's how it went: Announcer: "Darius, great block, what was your thinking there?" 😧 "pack that shit in." Announcer: "haha, Darius Miles. remember Darius, this is a family program, let's try and keep it clean, haha." Miles: "Oh my bad, I forgot." (15 seconds later as he blocks another shot) "GIMME THAT SHIT!!!" on a related note, why we as Americans still make such a huge fucking deal about cuss words on tv is fucking beyond me.
  15. you're getting @'ed because you said you would ban people who are doing what deej is doing, and because you locked the FSS instead of banning immortal for insane amounts of shit posting. if you followed through on what you said you would do/what's supposed to happen to people who serially shit-post then there would be no @'ing. just saying.
  16. 1)i merely responded to posts that had been made since the last time i visited the thread 2)immortal made about 17 consecutive posts in the FSS thread yesterday which led to it getting locked, and you cheered him on while he did it, so again, quit pretending like you even believe the bullshit you type 3)you follow me around whining about me while never making a single substantive post, so you're just about the last person (aside from immortal, rex kramer, and herpa derpa) to talk here 4) @immamac said that he "sweatergawd" he would ban anyone in this specific thread who wasn't posting about the thread subject. that's you. here's to hoping immamac wasn't lying.
  17. yeah except for the fact that the cop failed to properly block in the vehicle and then intentionally put himself in harm's way for zero logical reason. that is unless that's what they're teaching at the academy these days. "when dealing with a perp in a motor vehicle, make sure to put your physical body directly in front of the car as quickly as possible." the cop fucked up. so did the driver, no doubt, but to act like this cop did everything right actually kills any credibility you would like to have.
  18. yeah, under the umbrella of "what this cop could have done differently", this one really stands out. first the cop fails to properly block in the car, then when the ignition starts the cop *puts himself in front of the car* for zero discernible reason. the car was moving, what, literally 2 mph for several seconds before it was even a threat to run the cop over. that's the cop fucking up twice before any danger was even present to him, both instances he could have/should have easily avoided. the cop literally went out of his way to put himself in a position to potentially be run over, and then fired several rounds into a very slow moving car from very close range when he was afraid he might get run over. the people in here claiming that this was 100% justified while laying zero blame on the cop frankly scare me.
  19. for those who are confused, D Wade has a son named Zion who has transitioned to a transgender girl named Zaya. D Wade and Gabrielle Union have been coming out publicly with all kinds of support for Zaya, and are essentially trying to use their platform to not only give their own views and personal experiences, but to simply support their kid in a major way. i believe they have a documentary about all of this that's coming out soon, which i assume was the impetus for the OP.
  20. i did not see this coming, but i am quite pleased nonetheless.
  21. both were pretty gay, but imo it's hard to top rex flying into a thread in a totally manic state, giving constant and repeated hot takes on stuff he doesn't even follow, much less know anything about.
  22. as has been mentioned ad nauseam, the roster became unexpectedly shitty after an injury crisis, coupled with Barnes coaching up multiple guys who were outside the national top 150-250 and turning them into early entry NBA draft guys. Tennessee now has two five stars and a high four star committed for next year, rated as the no.6 class in the country. don't act like every single person here doesn't wish Texas was in the exact same position.
