Which ball hustle? To me, it wasn't a loose ball situation at all. Bron had picked up the ball and had planted his feet. Which loose ball was he diving for?

3 things:

1. An unecessary play (Schroeder's comments)
2. An awkward dive/An awkward player
3. A hatchet job

One of these is true.

You Bron fanboys are unbearable. It was a clear hustle play. He had blocked the driving lane and made him have to turn back, you can see he pulled back and didn't even put his full weight on LeNomad

I don't know how you expect a player who only gets 15-20 mins on the floor to get on the court and not play his tail off

Where was this energy when LeNomad literally pushed Joel Embiid mid air when they played the Sixers. You people are not serious at all

birdman:
rotation no make sense. too many injuries. I didnt expect us to even sniff playoffs. But 17 straight is still shocking. Tankeroooski

20. You lost to a Thunder team without Gilgeous Alexander and Horford. It's clear your team is tanking hard

Ibime:
You miss am. Nothing to do with culture.

I'm a lyricist first and foremost.

WizKid and Davido lyrics and rhyming patterns are not beyond the capacity of a primary 2 pupil.

Burna is a superb lyricist, multisyllabic rhymer, and can handle any which way the music goes whether ragga, Afrobeat or Hip-Hop. Burna skill on ragga rap alone is in contention with Damian Marley, he outraps 99% of Jamo artistes even in ragga. WizKid come dey try sing in Jamo accent and can't even get the accent right.

WizKid and Davido are Uber talentless in my eye, na just producers and synthesizers dey package their final product.

The guy can do it all literally. Can give you Damian style can switch to Shabba Ranks style of dancehall at the drop of a dime. Just listen to the intro he did with Da Les and AKA that year

nihilistjnr:
That's because Burna is a UK artist. Thats the culture you can relate to, especially as a PH boy

WizKid and Davido make Lagos-specific music. If you buy into Lagos culture, then you will prefer them, especially WizKid, to Burna.

Naah I don't think it's that. Maybe more of a generational thing. Gen Zers are likely to vibe better with the likes of Wiz and David. But if your musical tastes are remotely refined you will know Burna is simply better and the more versatile act.

Anyway I've come to expect anything when it comes to music. Just the other day on Twitter people were comparing Drake to Nas so nothing suprises me anymore. I have concluded people dey use different part of their body hear music

Emaprince:
up till today, I am still looking for the part wizkid sang on one dance, honestly.

Back up back up and whine oh. Listen very closely

Ibime:
Davido content is strategic. He decided to focus on Naija market and take it over while WizKid was trying to break Yankee and UK with Drake and them.

It's funny that Davido people called FEM "the song that swallowed a whole album" in reference to Burna album, now that same album done win grammy

Lol it's so funny how anyone with functioning ears will compare a weak song like FEM to a fine body of work like TAT

Burna is streets ahead of Wiz and Davido. It's what we always knew and it seems like he realized this too and just zoomed past the rest. Was really glad to see him pick up that award

I dey sorry for Birdman sha. 17 losses in a row. You legit have to wonder if the Rockets will win another game this season

Lewandowski now the second highest Bundesliga scorer of all-time with 268 goals still 97 left to catch Der Bomber

raumdeuter:
Jogi Low to resign in the summer

Should have resigned after Euro 2016. Been an absolute calamity since

kendrick93:
Because he had won it all for bayern so he came down for a challenge...
A world cup winner, title wins at Dortmund and bayern,
what else is there to prove?
And BVB didn't get him on the cheap either, they paid over 30m to secure his services which clearly indicates how keen they were on him.

As for clean sheets BVB have conceded 35g while bayern have let in 34g.
Considering the quality of both teams, I would say Dortmund and Hummels are faring much better than bayern or at par defensively
Bayern are let down by having defenders like boateng who drops a calamity per game

Loool you're a comedian. What of Champions League? You don't even know how ridiculous you sound. Didn't he win the same titles with Bayern that he did in Dortmund?

If he wanted a challenge he could easily go outside Germany and get it but he ran to the safety of Dortmund

We shall see how he fares when he has to face the big boys in Europe. We saw how he was disgraced last season and how he nearly undid Haaland's hard work conceding 4 goals vs Sevilla

Roland17:
Baba, nice to read from u again. Was going to put an APB out for you!

Abeg u sabi where @chic2pimp dey? I neva see the guy for a while.. I hope he is okay sha!

Omo na just the usual breaks person gats take men. How we go do?

SmooshCHN:
Thanks my man. I appreciate it. Did you say the Celtics? That's like working for Cavs or Houston. I couldn't pass up on the shade.

I'm on it.

If I had a dollar for how many times I get this in a day. Sadly, it's the truth. I'm working on leaving already..

Anyway you fit run am oh. One of my old mates went from Naija to Sudan to Saudi now in UK.

Most young Dr's I know are barely making $6k per annum. Some even less. It's criminal really.

etidy:
Booking plab 2 this morning too

I can't kill myself, abandoning residency for japa

Staying in Nigeria that will rather pay terrorists than healthcare professionals is just an exercise in suffering. I heard interns have not been paid for almost 3 months. And no one is saying anything. Till these people go on strike and we start hearing Hippocratic oath nonsense.

Japa if you can

Bronsexuals on Twitter really crying about a washed up Blake Griffin joining the Nets. Someone who has not dunked in two years. Such an irritating fanbase.

Their team had AD, Montrezl and Schroeder but they are still whining like LeNomad is the only one on the court

SmooshCHN:
Totally unrelated to basketball. I was hoping this day would come and here it is.
No, it's not my wedding announcement. I never reach that stage.


This thread has been a blessing to me in every way possible. Kept me busy, kept me happy and kept me company through med school. NL was the first tab I open almost every morning in the last like 5/6yrs because I know this thread would help me get through the day even when my Warriors would lose by 35. Don't get me started on playoffs when I'm always writing exams. I remember rushing my papers to catch the Warriors finals vs Cavs only for Iguodala to get blocked by James. Good times sha. Thank you guys for helping me in ways you can't imagine. The semi-depressed times, everything. Thank you guys from Ersan (I have to mention him for obvious reasons ) to everyone one. I don't want to skip anyone's name. Thank you Guys.

I was inducted yesterday and you guys were part of the journey. Still confused about what next to do cos it's Nigeria but thank you Guys. Thank you so much.
I could have posted a picture but yunno


_{ps: the Celtics are still trash and the Lakers are not repeating. thanks}

Congratulations bro. This is a huge deal

Why not write PLAB and Japa? Nigeria is not a country that takes healthcare serious so why do you want to play yourself

kendrick9:
Let's wait and see how Bayern fares against top opposition in the CL..
So far there's nothing new we haven't come to expect from Bayern,
topping the bundelisga, beating an average Lazio side in the R16..
hmmm not exactly a shock is it?
Bayern for the most part have actually failed in controlling a game for a full 90mins without losing concentration,
which is why they have conceded lots...
Thiago influence was integral last season in this aspect...
If Bayern fails to win the CL would agree that thiago absence was the cause using your Hummels analogy?

What you're chatting is story for the gods. Look around Europe and tell me the team or opposition that should evoke any type of fear for fans of Bayern Munich

The truth is bar City who we saw get exposed today no team has been truly dominant or unstoppable so no need to major in the minor

Hahahaha you're funny. Why has Thiago not transferred this influence to Liverpool? His arrival there has coincided with their worst home run in league history and they are now facing prospects of Europa League. We told you his shortcomings were being hidden by the likes of Kimmich and Goretzka with their productivity you were arguing.

Thiago's absence would only be argued as a factor for any Bayern CL failure if he had been pivotal to his new side's success. If you're 7th and 23 points off the top of the table in your new team with zero contributions whatsoever then you have no argument

kendrick9:
So Hummels was the sole reason you couldn't win the European cup?

You said He wasn't guaranteed a first team shirt but from the day he joined till he left,
he was a starting first choice defender..
Actions not paper gossips

As for Boateng, he's really really useless nowadays...
It's no wonder Bayern can't keep a cleansheet

How did you conjure this Okoto meow question? Was he a reason we won?

I said No longer guaranteed. That 'No longer' is not there for decoration. Go and argue with Niko Kovac not me. Does it make sense to you that a player assured of starting at Bayern Munich would downgrade to Dortmund?

Why do Bayern need to keep clean sheets? Is there special trophy for this? Where Hummels is is he keeping clean sheets?

Nothing Izzy could do in this fight. Moving up to fight someone 20 pounds heavier than you was a bold step. Would have been shocked if Izzy actually won and when I saw the betting odds the money was too good to pass up

Jan is a much better fighter than people give him credit for and I was impressed by Izzy's chin and the fact that he got caught and still survived. 2 of his last 3 knockouts were against legit 205lbs gius

I suspect Izzy hurt his arm somewhere in the 3rd round and for that couldn't capitalize when Jan clearly looked gassed.

Hopefully Izzy stays at 185. That's his true weight class and he continues dominating there. This fight showed me he would be King there for sometime to come so long as he stays humble

raumdeuter:
Jamal Musiala signs a pro contract

Till 2026. We have a gem on our hands. Thanks to Chelsea

I hope they are enjoying their Hudson Odoi

kendrick9:
lol...
you see am too abi.
The guy is finished...
steadily dropping calamities every game

You won't face Thiago Mr Idea who has been dropping so many disasterclasses he is now chopping bench na Boateng wey dey make game saving tackles you dey worry about

When I told you he was getting carried by the likes of Goretzka and Kimmich you were doing agidi like aboki.

kendrick9:
Put Hummels in this present bayern team and they would win the champs lge too.
The Bayern he was in had some problems like the reliance on an aged robbery and also coaching instability

Whose fault is it that he ran from competition when he was told starting shirt was no longer guaranteed?

By the final season of Hummels, Robbery had already been phased out and Coman and Gnabry were starting. Try another excuse

It's like the Bundesliga is a bigger challenge than some of these CL teams

This Musiala will make a very good #10. I'm highly impressed. If Müller is ever out long term this boy is ready

Champions League Coman is really a different beast

Alphonso Davies has had an immense game as well. Almost looks like he is playing with small boys

kendrick9:
Bayern won't be keeping a clean sheet today.....
guaranteed

Doesn't matter if you're 4 goals up

kendrick9:
That he hasn't started well for Liverpool(other factors have also contributed to this) doesn't mean he wasn't brilliant at Bayern..
I remembered the Bayern fans and management pleading for him to stay at bayern.
Let's not rewrite history just because twitterers and pundits are on his back currently...

Lmaoooo who and who did you see beg him to stay on this thread? He did his bit but my issue was with you lot over hyping his contributions but unfortunately he is in England where his lack of productivity is being quickly exposed unlike at Bayern where he had a hiding place

Neuer (c) -
Süle, Boateng, Alaba, Davies -
Kimmich, Goretzka -
Sané, Musiala, Coman -
Lewandowski

Our bench issa disaster

Time for the likes of Sane to show up big today. Play time is done

kendrick9:
Bayern is overhyped..
Don't think they have won any semi decent team in bundesliga this season apart from Dortmund

Hope you're enjoying your Thiago 'idea ball merchant' Alcantara? Shey we warned you but you were doing egun ori

usbcable:
Even Iceland will parade a black player before Argentina

Leave these ones let them be pointing to their Papa house with their left hand

ddippset:
You guys are just missing the point.

I dunno if Usbcable for one, is getting alert for pushing this decitful narrative once every year for the past 10 years.

I know of a lot of Oyinbo people who seriously rooted for the Super Eagles at USA 94 and also at Atlanta 96. Those oyinbos also had their nations at these 2 tourneys.
Now what do we say about them?

Support for teams at FIFA World Cups has never been entirely about race and nationality.

The traditional FIFA World cup teams esp; like Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy and lately Spain have always had good support across the world at FIFA world cups, irrespective of Messi; irrespective of skin colour
And that's because back then the competition was more popular than the champions league we all love today.
It was our biggest opportunity to see our best players in the pitch and see the best football.

So generation to generation these big teams especially have always had massive support from fans across Africa at World Cups.
And trust me there is a good number who did that because they didn't have any belief in their home nation while many did because they saw the best football and the best players from these big teams.

Even at the Euros where there is no Naija, some of us always have a team we root for.
It's football.

But agreeably times have changed. There is more focus on club football but those tendencies would take some time.

Millions of Naija fans support certain teams at World Cups and Euros, Fact.

But again, I don't think anyone would support any other Nation in a head to head match against the Super Eagles.

Nothing wrong with all you have said here but who are the oyinbos that would root for Nigeria ahead of their own country if they ever met head to head. That's simply not true

In the olden days it made sense to support a powerful footballing nation regardless of your nationality but in these modern times with the advent of globalization it's asinine to me to see a Black man, a Nigerian man support Argentina of all countries even ahead of your country.

A country you have no ties to and worse do not parade your kind in any sporting endeavor. You're rooting for them simply because they parade a player that will soon leave your club. Is that not foolishness? Because I know he will not support the same set of players he swore were holding Messi back when Messi leaves Barca

My question to the Muppets who support Argentina of all countries ahead of their own is what's the appeal?

jpmoriarti:
Nonsense!

Must everything be about blacks or whites? This is racism or worse, inferiority complex.

For avoidance of doubt, I do not support Nigeria in the world cup because they do not have good footballers compared to Argentina for example. This is my choice. It is not based on color of skin.

Mugu.

It's not about race or complex. It's common sense. What are you doing rooting for a team representing a society that doesn't want any of your kind even in this modern era. To the point that they are one of the only teams in South America that don't parade your kind.

Listen goofy. Do you know how crazy you would sound to an Argentine if you told him you support Argentina wey no dey parade your kind ahead of your country? They will laugh you out of the stadium like the clown that you are.

Omugo. You dey support Argentina because of Messi wey go soon comot your team. Shior

Awesome01:
Hahaaa? What of Ekong and Balogun, dont be deceive by their names o. Dem white well-well.

Henhen, and that Oyinbo pepper goalkeeper. I no remember dat one name.

Carl Ikeme. Just leave the clowns let them be defending nonsense

SonOfAfonja:
Globalization era yen yen yen!

Which white player has Nigeria paraded?

At least Nigeria has paraded biracial players. Which of your kind have you seen in Argentina to evoke any type of loyalty from you
