A40 you said we made a mistake by allowing Pep to get his hands on Doku. I hope it's first season syndrome under Pep sha.

Because, Doku nah confam shaku shaku right now...even Saint Maximin wasn't this bad!

Terrible to watch at times....

New league acclimating. Ebb and flow must dey

If a whole Grealish dey struggle why not Doku?

I hope Booker's injury is not serious. We need that Warriors/Lakers 9th vs 10th seed matchup by force by fire

And what can I say about MPJ? He must be on Nairaland or something 25-10 and 100% FG shooting. He's the key to their repeat. If he can play to Murray and Jokic level I don't see who beats them 4times in a 7 game series

We're here for another Max procession. 4th title loading

Roland17:
The 3 ball is a big problem for many players in the league.

Up until this season, it was a serious issue for Tatum. This season, regular season I should add, we have seen massive improvement in Tatum’s shot selection as he is now attacking the rim. I mean, What is the use of bulking up if all you will do is shoot 3s?

Mike’s love for the 3 reminds me of PG13. PG13 used to attack the rim aggressively until he suffered that devastating leg injury. After that leg injury, his drives to the bucket have significantly reduced as he is now shooting more 3 balls.

I don’t see how offensive players improve their overall game by just spamming 3s all over the court.

It's really hurt the game. I don't see any type of flair from even the stars anymore. Everything just feels robotic.

I remember watching the Finals and I was so pissed off at MAGA Mike, he could see the 3ball was not falling yet he kept spamming and spamming. He would have open lanes instead of driving to the hoop would brick another 3. This nigga took 6 3s a game and was shooting it at a 14% clip.

You have a boatload of players who when their 3s are not falling have no clue on what else to do

BlueRayDick:
Musicians don't care how u make ur money ; they will hail u and secure the bag.

Most of the people K1 hailed in his songs in the late 90's and early 2000's talking about " irin ajo mi European 95 ; o kejegbe ".... they are drug dealers and those who engage in fraudulent schemes abroad .

Na k1 hail drug dealers pass ; all these new generation artistes hailing yahoo boys dey learn for Wasiu hand

They have been hailing scammers and drug dealers before we were born.

Igbo highlife musicians that was 50% of their songs nau.

When you hear these guys talk about tours it means some baron or scammer hosted a party there and called them to sing and sprayed them money from city to city

Portable appearance in the Slepta video is what people are looking for

Ain't nobody checking for Olamide abroad, please. Olamide starts and stops in Nigeria.

Free that yarns, even artistes wey dey very junior with far less hits and body of work compared to Olamide dey enter abroad.

If small Shallipoppi and Omah Lay dey enter abroad come be a whole Olamide wey don dey sing since 2009?

Compare the Portable you've been seeing since to the Portable that featured on that Skepta song? That's how he will need to be gradually repackage himself if he wants to blow fully. Go and check late T.B Joshua that was tearing grammatical missile and synonymous to Babalawo back then. Shey that's how he repackaged sotey started scamming foreigners in all parts of the world.

GloriousGbola:
It is part of his package. Snoop has made a career of pretending to be on weed all the time. Eminem did the same with anger. Muhammed Ali did the same with trash talking. It is a persona and it works for him. He has mastered Nigerian kayfaybe

All of this is different from unbearable razzness. In Nigeria setting where everyone believes in packaging or wants to aspire to some good living that whole razzness package will wear thin on even the people that are liking him now.

Adekunle Gold is a very good example. From Orente no dey complain he gats repackage himself. Now mans dey run braids dey do AG baby. You can only sustain yourself on local vibes in Nigeria settings for so long, at some point you just gats clean up

Ibime:
It's better to be razz and authentic than forming with fake accent.

Olamide ain't crossing over to anyone abroad, even when he clean up it still sounds razz. Portable stands a better chance being himself

Razzness can only take you so far. And being razz is not about accent I'm talking about your entire sound and package.
If Portable is going to reach full potential he will definitely have to clean up his appearance and his Oshodi boy aiye wa da vibes.

You saw his appearance in the Skepta video. No? That's part of what I'm talking about. If you think you can wing it being just razz and 'authentic' you will just be another Fada U-turn, Baba Fryo or African China

Olamide appeals to both local and abroad. Everyone cannot be Burna Boy. When you compare his early songs to an album like Carpe Diem you can surely see some refinement even to the so-called razzness.

Ibime:
I don't even give a fück bout that, no be dat one pain me sef

My own is how do you make a trauma musical

Musical is supposed to be happy and trauma is trauma. They don't mix like Ogbono and Ice-cream. Oprah must be smoking Colorado

That demographic love to function on low vibrations. I don't understand the point of that movie or musical in 2024

This is why African Americans and African immigrants don't get along. Imagine inundating me with slavery wey you no experience and expect me to be arsed about it

They're lazy and can task themselves to come up with something relevant today. Hell do a movie on the baby momma epidemic (they won't obviously cos that would mean addressing real issues not just bond over trauma wey you no experience)

Ibime:
That shït slaps

Portable brought it home

I'm impressed with Portable anytime I hear him so far the Yoruba no too plenty. I will start paying more attention

He just needs to polish the rawness a bit if he really wants to crossover in full. He should learn from Olamide and co. Can't be doing razz pattern forever. There's always time to upgrade and clean yourself up.

Even if you wan do Yoruba flows there's how you package and funkify it. Olamide remains a good reference point

Ibime:
Thunder fire them

They made it into a musical

Combining a trauma movie and a musical. Oprah has gone nuts.

Somehow I'm still watching because of sunk cost fallacy

Will be a cold day in hell before I watch that rubbish anti black man propaganda movie

I want to see that Mea Culpa film that everyone has been yapping negatively about

Agbero omo onile government wan collect $10bn from Binance. Iffa hear say them pay. They think it's motor park where they can send MC Oluomo to obtain people.

Which foreign investor will see news like this and invest even $0 in Nigeria. Unless him sef na crook

When you combine Agberoism of Tinubunomics and prime NADECO propaganda of Abacha days. You have a deadly concoction


And btw who else is vibing to that Skepta and Portable collab. Yo Portable was cooking on that song. I'm impressed

You are not everybody, A40, and you don't dictate what others do with their time.

Y'all are nothing but virtue signaling frauds.

The time and energy you waste fighting for a lady to get lapped every race could have been channeled building and growing races solely for women but no you frauds must piggyback off men and what has already been built in place by men

Roland17:
Mike needs more games like he had last night when Murray left the game. I sometimes try to be considerate about his situation. He is usually the 3rd option, except on nights where he starts really hot. But I agree with you, he should be at least a 20/ game player irrespective of who is on the court. Hopefully, his back keeps holding up going into the playoffs.

Exactly. Very good to see how far he's coming after all those injuries but he seemed to me to have fallen in love with that corner 3 too much.

You see why I hammer so hard against that 3pt spamming. It makes players lazy and reduces their ability to have a deeper scoring bag. MAGA Mike is 6'9-6'10 with handles. He should be able to put the ball on the floor and have other ways to score on nights his 3 is not falling.

Luckily Jamal went super saiyan in the last playoffs but for the Nuggets to be a true dynasty. Mike has to play like the max player he's being paid to be

budaatum:
Watch me not waste my precious time.

I don't care nothing about that. Just save us that woke feminist B.S

Nobody got time for that

Roland17:
Omo J. Murray can not catch a break with these injuries.

MAGA Mike has to step up. He's gotten too comfortable fitting in and being the 3rd scorer. I think it's remarkable how he's played all 60 games this season considering his history but now he needs to take that leap to being a guaranteed 20 a night guy

budaatum:
Quite a lot when you say "people like me" and know nothing about me.

Whatever man. I don't care nothing about that

budaatum:
No one has asked for a diversity hire. I have specific said "if faster than those on the track".

Lewis, after all, was not a diversity hire despite the lack of black people in F1.

There are many sports predominantly played by black people and I don't see other races complain about it. So I'm not going to make a big stink about the lack of black people in the most expensive sport in the world when I know the economical realities of black people and their strengths and weaknesses.

Why hasn't there been another black golfer since Tiger?

budaatum:
And I'm sorry to give you short shift because you seem to be stating the points you want to argue and paint them like they are mine.

F1 is not football where the sport is separated by gender. If your times are better than those already there, a team will always want you. And theres a lot being done to get them in there already.

When the black man currently in F1 retires, would you ask why black people stopped competing in F1?

Women cannot on a consistent basis drive faster than men. Call me sexist I do not care. Truth is bitter like Guinness

When a black man retires from F1 I will wait patiently till another black man is good enough to consistently compete. The world will not stop spinning on its axis cos there's no black man in F1. We have football, basketball, American football, boxing. We will be just fine

budaatum:
Women in F1 haven't stopped, despite many reasons for not being there at the moment.

https://www.topgear.com/car-news/motorsport/no-reason-why-women-cant-compete-f1-says-major-study


I think I'd need to wait for you to inform yourself of the immense ground work being done to get more women who can compete and flourish on their own merits into F1 and motor racing in general.

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.mclaren-sign-f1-academys-bianca-bustamante-as-first-female-member-of-driver.6w5XZDIEWlRBNiUPSn1sbF.html

You mean you would rather satisfy your woke boner with a woman consistently finishing bottom of the grid cos she wants to 'compete' with men. Rather than push for women to have their own circuit where the best of them can race and compete equally.

I don't care about any nonsense information about any ground work. You guys are taking the shortcut, trying to piggyback of men's sports instead of growing organically a female circuit. You want to push 1 woman driver finishing bottom of the pile trying to do a man's job as some form of progress

Miss me with that mayne

budaatum:
You don't know me so I can easily ignore your "people like you", but I hope you'd understand why Lewis started his Mission 44, and Ignite.

Women have competed in F1, and as the rules stand, a woman can compete in F1, and I'm certain a woman would quickly be signed if she goes faster than any of the men on track.

What does me knowing you have to do with anything?

Lewis efforts are commendable and he spoke from his lens and experiences. But he's not the only minority in F1. And we want to see the best racers, not a diversity hire.

I don't want to see Lewis Hamilton or a black man on a F1 grid simply cos they're black I want to see them there cos they're the best at it

Women have competed. And? Why did they stop?

My problem with people like you (I'm sorry I had to do it) is rather than do the ground work to promote women's sport and let them compete and flourish on their own merits. You lot try to attach them to the men to present them as equals while still seeking handouts and benevolence from the men. Who does that?

We see it in tennis, golf, WNBA, US women soccer

Why will any rational team sign a woman who would be hopelessly overmatched trying to race with men on a consistent basis. Will she compete or holla misogyny at the first dust up with a male racer?

budaatum:
I think you need to go learn about Lewis and racism in motorsports. It starts back in carting way before he became a teenager.

As for women in F1, it's always been open to women. All they need show is a time competitive with the men, and it would be rather difficult to deny them a place on track if they find a team willing to take them.

Lol. You want to Diversity Equity and Inclusion your way to an F1 driver. This is supremely laughable

Racism is everywhere, there's racism in football so you're not saying anything new. F1 is a niche and exclusive sport, it always has and it always will be. In a field where you're only going to have 20 people out of over 7billion you think there's not going to be exclusivity. That just sounds ridiculous.

Women cannot competitively race with men. Stop deluluing yourself. The ability for risk taking and physical endurance needed to navigate racing at the highest level to compete with men women simply do not possess

As much as I'm anti transwomen in women sports a part of me wants to see them totally infiltrate women's sports so you can see Equality for the myth and urban legend it is.

Back then it was People like you that were talking about Serena being able to compete with men till a #300 ranked male tennis player handed her ass to her. We saw 14 year old boys beat the Women's world soccer champions 5-2

budaatum:
Sorry, but I am far too woke to think men have some super ability to drive a car much faster than any woman, especially if the fact woman don't have the opportunity is because of "male interest and support", or rather, discrimination against women.

If the competition is sport there's no woman or group of women that can do anything collectively or individually better than men. Whether it's lifting, running, driving, boxing or whatever else. If you think I'm lying put Lewis Hamilton or Max Verstappen in a weave, Lebron in the WNBA, Francis Ngannou in MMA or Boxing and see what happens to the female competition there.

Don't force what is not there. Talking about discrimination against women is laughable as 99% of the women following F1 now are doing so because of Lewis Hamilton. The day he retires you will see mass exodus of female audience

budaatum:
White "male interest and support" kept black people out of the sport too until seasonal woke activism made it unfashionable to not give a black man a chance.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/may/07/willy-t-ribbs-pioneering-f1-path-lewis-hamilton

Why is white Male interest and support not keeping black people out of basketball, American football, boxing etc.

You people don't know when and where to factor race. Is it racism too that white players are better at hockey than blacks or Chinese are better at pingpong than blacks.

You guys need to be serious please. Imagine how crazy an Indian man will sound saying his people have not been given a chance to play in the NBA. Sports is the ultimate test of meritocracy. Keep wokeness out of it abeg and don't ruin the fun for us that accept not all black men are going to be superstar F1 drivers same way we understand not all Asian men are going to be superstar Quarterbacks or basketball players

budaatum:
F1 is currently open to both genders. Show you're fast and you'd likely get a drive, and I love it this way.

Many more will watch if a woman beats Verstappen. And in case you haven't noticed, female sport is growing, now that male oppression is recognised.

Lool. Women will only enter an F1 car via affirmative action or woke policies. Not merit

Thinking a woman can beat Max Verstappen or even the slowest male driver on the grid is amusing.

Don't be fooled by all this seasonal woke propaganda. Male interest and support is still the primary driver of even female sports.

KG said Bron on that Balco juice

I like how all the media are forming unlooking. I woulda unlooked too till I remembered notorious former UFC juicer Chael Sonnen also accused him of juicing and he didn't face any repercussions. Makes you go hmmmm.

Someone on YT said he wants to believe the story is false but he will observe and if no mainstream media covers the news then he will know there is element of truth to it

ThatCEO:
So, what's sup with Christian Hot Horner....Hot over text messages

Shd RedBull sack Horner cos of a staff that has zero input to the team or sack the manager who has been with them since day one n won them everything?

Should formula one become a 100% male sports?

I always think variety is good so definitely nothing wrong with having females on board, I wish guys become more principled about this kind of stuff.

The average woman on the staff that might cost you your job ask yourself what is her benefit to you besides some pumpum. A man at that level needs to realize 9 out of 10 women he will meet have absolutely nothing to offer him besides a court case and ruined reputation

budaatum:
Except they'll find him not guilty, considering his résumé and the lack of sufficient evidence.

https://www.independent.co.uk/f1/christian-horner-latest-allegations-red-bull-investigation-f1-b2503749.html

When a man's livelihood is on the line the evidence must be damning. Not just a few texts

Good to see he's been cleared. Have to come up with something substantial next time

budaatum:
If Horner is found to be as Hot as he's accused of being he will be sacked. No team would survive the taunts they'd get from F1 fans if he's kept regardless of their success. Staff would be demoralised and advertisers and fans would abandon them in droves, and they'd not find good replacements easily.

As for F1 becoming a 100% male sport, first replace 'male' with 'black' and perhaps see the absurdity besides it being against the current trend promoting inclusivity.

Even men would be forced to abandon watching F1 when their wives' call them pigs, and F1 management would need to replace venues in the Middle East that are currently letting women drive cars, and that would be apart from the rest of the world that wouldn't allow a male F1.

Lool. Even women will not watch a female F1 season. Not even the wokest feminist

Sports will always be primarily driven by men no matter how inclusive or diverse we want to be
