RaySmuckles posted:robert horry is cool and has had one of the most interesting careers in the modern nba. Yeah, that's the thing is it's not like he just coasted from team to team and rode the bench to a ring, he was prominent on those championship teams even if he was never one of the best four players on them

Punkin Spunkin posted:whoever hit more game winners obviously lol i was watching a recap of the spurs/rockets game and it showed kawhi getting hyped over a jsimms dunk. i really think they're an interesting pair. i've seen it posted before that it really seems that kawhi and jsimms get along really well and kawhi seems much more normal when they're interacting. just an interesting lens to help look deeper into leonard. plus, and i doubt anyone can find it, there was a spurs video asking players what kawhi was like/what they talk about and when jsimms was answering he just had the most perplexed look on his face and said "we talk about things everyone talks about : music and women" and it was just the most awesome thing. edit: is horry a hall of famer?

Same injury that ended Barkley's career, drat it! I hope he can come back, even as a shell of himself for a Barkely-esque finale.

Lockback posted:Being punched was the best thing that ever happened to Spencer's message being spread. This is why you don't use violence against people you disagree with, all it does is gives them a platform. Yeah, really. Also gave Spencer's supporters a "look how we are persecuted by these people who don't believe in free speech, how very un-American." It was real annoying watching supposedly Good People hand Neo Nazis the moral right-of-way. You don't abandon your own principles because your target is an extra bad boy in need of punishment. You don't assert a superior morality by punching folks. I mean, poo poo, positioning themselves as aggrieved defenders of righteous tradition was the whole Nazi political playbook (see: Reichstag Fire, Mein Kampf, everything they ever did). There's easy historical references. Why would you play right into an obvious media strategy? CharlestheHammer posted:Lol what no it hasn't. People see him as a joke People saw our current President as a joke during the primaries and he did very well capitalizing upon their open disdain. Now he's the most powerful man on the planet. It's a joke until it's not a joke. In conclusion: the Barkley show is almost certainly going to be a disaster and inviting Richard Spencer is a stupid idea. Headlines Read: Shock Jock Says Something Shocking. If they actually wanted information about the White Underclass instead of a "dialogue" that only goes one way they should probably talk to a historian or something. Maybe Nancy Isenberg?

James Harden is a euro-idolizing rules-cheater and LeBron is in every way including the literal sense Captain America  in fact, LeBron is probably MORE Captain America than the Captain America from the movies who uses guns to attack instead of his shield to defend.LeBron conquered the evil forces of bland corporate tech with good friendship and overwhelming strength of will, but now they've risen a third time like the dark phoenix and he will be tested like never before.

glowing-fish posted:Yes, although I doubt he would be a contender based only on his NBA career. But I think the NBA and the Hall of Fame want to stress basketball as an international sport, so they are going to be pretty favorable to anyone with an international career. Manu Ginobili is sure to get into the Hall of Fame for simliar reasons. Patty Mills actually has a chance depending on how his international career in Australia goes, and I think Becky Hammon will get in if she is the first woman in the NBA to have a championship ring. She would be the first female coach in the NBA to get a ring, not first woman in the NBA to get a ring. Jeanie Buss has NBA rings. Franchises give out rings to a lot of people including minority owners. Wouldn't Becky Hammon get in the HOF based off her playing career anyway?

RaySmuckles posted:can a player still receive his contract money if he retires due to injury? i assume it would be amnestied or something for the team. but that way the player can get his and the team isn't too hampered. If a player medically retires then their contract is payed out via insurance teams have.

Being a sympathetic figure with the appearance of a moral high ground is useful in every way.

Stagger_Lee posted:There's not much that's more American than punching Nazis. Maybe the alley-oop? I guess that's kind of French. Aside from pretending imperialist wars of aggression and conquest have underlying moral imperatives, yeah, not much more American than living your life by the code of 20th century war propaganda. Aspirational stuff. Simpler times. Employment at the factory. Big cars. Effective Jim Crow Laws. Japanese locked safely away in leisure camps. You're a sap, Mr. Jap, you make a Yankee cranky You're a sap, Mr. Jap, Uncle Sammy's gonna spanky Wait and see before we're done The A, B, C and D will sink your rising sun* You're a sap, Mr. Jap, you don't know Uncle Sammy When he fights for his rights, you'll take it on the lammy For he'll wipe the Axis right off the map You're a sap, sap sap, Mr. Jap Anyways enjoy your hosed up hateful "America", I'll be over on the moral high ground fighting for the side of LeBron and the Brazilio-Germans.

Speaking of Captain America, it's a shame they were calling Melo that/made him team captain this summer simply because he was the oldest guy that wanted to play on Team USA. Captain America should have more than 1 good game during the Olympics. I do think that nickname should go to LeBron over him. Hopefully he plays in Tokyo and takes the name for himself.

Spacebump posted:Using guns is American as hell. Photoshopped, fake, an overenthusiastic artist's rendering, and they got it wrong and it didn't really happen that way. I could find you bullshit pictures of Batman using guns and throwing people off of buildings and blowing them up and we'd both know that's not real because it's not who Batman is. He shot a gun ONCE and it was basically to save the entire universe, and it sent him spiraling backwards through history. You will NEVER find him unloading clips into bad guys. He has too much respect for human life. Same for Captain America. The Cap is the Shield and I won't entertain trollish arguments to the contrary.

https://twitter.com/ekoreen/status/860182975350272001 lmao that's what he wants you idiot Caseys defeatist attitude has trickled down. RIP Raptors. I'd be okay with re-signing almost everybody on this team though, or at the very least, Lowry Ibaka and Tucker. It's unlikely we're going to attract a superstar FA or draft one. Plus I feel like this core is still good enough that it deserves a fair shake with a different coach.
