you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.


In the newest version of Ninja Gaïden we've placed an importance on character selection and development.

How should we feel about everything happening. Now, if a plurality of social media clamors for something, they get it. Was it better when we grew up and the public was benignly ignored? Do I only want the people to be unhappy for my own twisted pleasures? Everyone is pliant and agreeable. The only conflicts come from people who are too far behind the acknowledged refutation of their arguments. Carmelo Anthony is not wanted. Melo with the hood is wanted.

Good morning!
The Seattle mayor, Office of Economic Development, and Tim Leiwicke's Oak View Group claim to have agreed on a tentative $660mm fully private deal to redevelop Key Arena into a new NHL/NBA arena. Official press conference at 11am today. They have apparently been in close contact with the NBA and NHL and have reportedly received positive responses from both.

https://twitter.com/ChrisDaniels5/status/907605788813877248

Of course, Chris Hansen is still out there with his SODO project, and recently proposed a hail mary deal to fund the renovation of the Key into a more modest entertainment venue while building his own arena. Based on today's news, it appears that OVG remains the clear front runner, and they certainly have been far more deft so far in negotiating city politics. This being Seattle, these things can turn in an instant, so I will be watching closely. As it stands though, this may be the closest Seattle has come to having a viable arena since the Sonics left.

Seattle hockey would be sweet. As it stands now the only west coast hockey were the Sharks, Kings, Ducks, Coyotes, and Golden Knights which all play in like the same clustered area. All Oregon and Washington have had since the NHL came around were the Canucks and I guess Oilers/Flames if they didn't want to go south for their fandom.

Select players that came in right under him:

Serge Ibaka
Jeff Teague
Nic Batum
Tristain Thompson

CARMELO ANTHONY

In an actually way, way, way, way more hilarious turn of events, they ranked Dennis Smith Jr. as the 75th best player in the league.
I don't remember NBA Rank being this horribly laughable in past years.
