    Now he's hating on the Rising Stars team.   If the fucking all-stars came out and actually competed they wouldnt be there.

    Getting more quality/popular players doesn't mean shit to me when I can open up Instagram anytime and watch random dunkers that would wipe their asses with any of them. 

    They should let Jordan Kilganon be a judge so he can just sit at the table and laugh at some of these clowns.

    YEP!!  Been saying this for yrs.   People keep talking about stars getting in but then they also talk about guys doing the same dunks.   Just cause its a star player does that make a regular dunk better?

    Give credit. Kid was fucking nails. Hit every dunk first try and had solid creativity 

    He is great.   He's not a NBA player though.   If they are going to let a guy that has played 3 NBA games in the last 3 yrs continue to do these contests just give a few of the youtube pro dunkers 10 day contracts and put them in the contest.

    I was wondering about this. They make it to where you have to attend college for 4 seasons? Watching Booker last night I'm like... shit... she could play in the W tomorrow. 

    I think you're probably right. Outside of Tennis and Golf it's the only legit women's pro sports league in the US.

    There are a few good women's soccer leagues overseas and I could see whatever the top tier is here gaining steam. 

    I think what will mainly make it more popular is the growing star power of players like CC.

    Yep.  Juju and Hannah Hidalgo from ND are both sophomores and both could go to the W right now and ball out.

  5. Aaliyah Edwards has destroyed some of the best player in the game on the way to the finals of this 1v1 tourney.   Now up 1 game (best 2 of 3) on Napheesa Collier.   200K for the winner.

    Watch the next several jobs reports be negative, unemployment rising, and these clowns will be claiming it's a benefit to tax payers because they are saving money.

    They will have an explanation for the upcoming recession, caused by unnecessary tariffs and trade wars, and point to it as a good thing. Nerds will point out the massive private sector layoffs as a large part of his policy, unexpected cancelling of government contracts, deportation of cheap immigrant workers and the general retraction of the economy due to his dumb policies, but he and his media apparatus will spin it as good for the country. It's gonna be great.

    You're thinking way too much.   They will just blame Biden.

  8. New CBA coming up I wonder if they will try to fight age restriction.   I doubt considering how few spots there are currently in the league but they need to.   Having to wait another 2 yrs to get Juju is not a good plan

    calling my shot. 


    Wolves 109

    Thunder 102 

     

    this is a day after losing to a Dameless/Giannisless bucks team. we're just that bipolar that we'd beat the best and lose to that shit.

    What are the lotto numbers this week?

    I can't recognize or name a single WNBA player besides CC and perhaps Britney Griner (is she still even playing WNBA?) so I would be surprised if anyone but the highest salaried stars get that kind of revenue.

    Pretty amazing some still have this view.   I'm not going to say you're the minority but the people who can name W players and view them as viable celebrity endorsers is a quickly growing group.   There is a reason the league now has a line of about 10 cities that want to get a franchise.    Its not just because of CC

    I assumed the ladies were just looking at alternative revenue streams since playing in Russia during the wnba offseason has gotten a little bumpy, and found a buyer. 

    Yes, this was the main impetus.   Keeping the women from having to play overseas.   The games have been pretty good IMO and the 1v1 tourney has been interesting.

    Idk I think we’ll agree to disagree. I think you underestimate Rudy’s impact. Skill wise Kat blows Rudy out offensively. I think Rudy’s better intangibles, defense, health etc. Rudy’s in impeccable shape for his age. He also is making 10M less the next 3 years after this year while Kats gonna be making 20M+ than Rudy will more a year with his super max

    Still a lot but he’s still a dependable anchor, ONLY on defense

    FIFY

    Shaq is the most insecure motherfucker I've ever seen.  Bro, you are obscenely wealthy and you're in the basketball HOF.  I think you can chill with hating on all the big men in the league.

    Just proof that all the money and fame in the world is never enough for some

    Shaq is insufferable. He has some bizarre hard-on for Bol Bol, probably because he knows the guy has zero chance to ever be a great center and therefore isn't a threat to be called "greater" than he was. Then there's the whole throwing shit on teammates thing. Just not likeable at all. I've stopped caring for Inside, tbh.

    Its a consistent shot at Wemby.    His latest big man hate project.

    we didnt give up on him...you just cant have 2 supermax deals on a team and expect to fill the rest out without being second apron'd

     

    product of drafting first overall  and *gasp*the players ends up being pretty good at bball and makes all nba.  IDK, maybe its me but the whole second apron should have some leniency against teams that draft their players and have a little relief vs the second apron vs outright fucking them 

    Yeah, I've always thought there should be some provision where the Supermax contracts only count at max contract rate as long as they are on the team that drafted them.   The way its structured now is penalizing teams for drafting well.

    Also - Shaq fucking sucks on this TNT desk. It's like he gets his feelings hurt by everything and thinks he can act like an ass-clown with no recourse. 

    It just doesn't work without Chuck keeping him in check. 

    Candace Parker is fucking phenomenal and I've been saying that for a couple years now. VC is fine and the host is fine too. Build around those three - maybe throw Dryamond in at the 4?

    (God dammit I can't believe I'm getting back into the NBA. How did this happen. I need a wife and kids)

    Shaq is the most sensitive fucker I've seen.  I have no idea why they felt he needed to be on this Tuesday show.   VC is pretty reserved but he's coming out of his shell a little bit.   I liked when they had DWade on there as well.   Lefkoe is decent and nice straight guy.   He's no EJ but who the hell is?  

    The Thursday show jumped the shark yrs ago for me.   Chuck and Shaq are basically Statler and Waldorf from the Muppet show and offer little to no actual basketball insight.    They still have some funny moments but the constant hating is too much for me deal with.    Kenny moved past annoying long ago ESPECIALLY during all-star weekend.  The dunk contest has its issues but none larger than him as far as I am concerned.
