These same cats caught more than fire for Foles! Top QB’s do not make excuses about injured or unavailable receivers worth more experienced cats especially when you now add Z. Ertz (TE).
It is impossible for me to agree that his healthy receiving core are bums. He has Whiteside, Mathews, Ward and Sanders, while they are not top tier, these cats are definitely not scrubs, not to now speak of DJack, Jeffereys and Agholor when healthy.
Thing is Wentz has been very poor this season, infact since last season. I have watched him enough times to know this. Dude is missing very open throws, in-case you missed the game against Wilson and the Seahawks, you may want to see that game again. He has become a fumbling/ interception machine, I don’t know the exact numbers but they are pretty high.
As for Goff, I figured DCs will figure him out after last season and have more info to game plan for him.
This same Foles is in Jacksonville and we are seeing the beat down he has been receiving these past few weeks.

Even Zach Ertz is having a down year.

Whiteside? Lool! Matthews has been cut! Sanders is a borderline scrub and the less said about Agholor and Jeffrey who lead the league in drops.

No receiving corps have dropped more balls than the Eagles. It's easy to pick up this recent game and pile on Carson but his receivers have been either injured or poor and that's the truth

Fat Chance. Their record would have read something like 8-9 and by now the "AD has no Help" crowd would have sprung to Life.
Exactly. Giannis style might not be aesthetically pleasing to a purist but there is something about a baller that wants all the smoke on both ends of the floor. Somehow some way they will have their team playing better than their talent levels

I still believe Tyson Fury may still be Wilder's boogeyman, before he lands that right hand.

Wilder will soon be exposed and tagged.
Tyson for his size hits like a fairy. That's his biggest problem and it's why his KO percentage is so low.

I daresay Wilder grossly underestimated Fury in their first fight. Truth be told I don't see how Fury wins without the fight going to the judges but I can see Wilder dropping Fury again and he might not be able to get up or be allowed to this time

The guy built to actually beat Wilder if not for his suspect chin and now robotic style is actually AJ. He has just the right amount of power and combinations you would need to drop Deontay

I am beginning to buy the argument that C. Wentz is a product of media machination and a complete hype. Dude has not matched up the expectation even after Foles departed.
Bro Wentz has no receivers. Agholor and Jeffrey cannot catch a cold and his deep threat Desean Jackson has barely played.

Maybe Wentz is guilty of holding on to the ball a little too much but his weapons are Skint! The real hype job is Jared Goff

Not having potential is one thing, not capitalizing on that potential is another thing. The man pointed out that Simmons had/has MVP potential but hasn't capitalized on it. You claimed he never had it to begin with which is just not true. I can't believe you lot are making me defend Ben Simmons.
You were a Ben Simmons fanboy why are you denying him now in his hour of need? grin

Being a #1 pick does not mean you have MVP potential. It's why I said the word needs redefining as it's been thrown around very loosely. He had size and could handle the ball but really what else? He had no J and no real go-to move besides dunks and layups, he also wasn't dominant with mad hops so it's not like a Zion or Bron where you literally had to get out the way

I will say Wilder is a fitter, more athletic version of Shavers. The Black Acorn could KO a charging rhino when he landed. Mind you, Shavers was a much better boxer than Wilder!
Wilder has a much better chin than Shavers

Godx:
Fury should be licking his lips after Wilder fight with Ortiz. . Fury has the size, skill and chin to beat Wilder. The big advantage Wilder used to have is his height and reach. Fighters have to be wary, as Wilder can usually hit them before they can hit him. Fury doesnt have to jump through that hurdle. Ortiz is also a southpaw, which worked in Wilder's favor and he still hardly landed any Punch. The straight right is always there when facing a southpaw. Much more than a conventional fighter.

I see Fury boxing from the outside, circling to Wilder's left, nullifying that right hand. Just needs to make sure he doesnt trade with him, even if he looks hurt. I am just so confident about Fury chances.
If you're talking of which fighter should be licking his lips it should actually be Wilder because I can see Wilder bussing him open to the point where if he doesn't get knocked out his trainers might need to intervene.

The real problem with Wilder is he's such an unorthodox mofo. There is no stance that will save you from being hit at some point in the fight. Fury's lack of KO power means this is a given and I saw a slight dip in Fury's reflexes. He was slower to get out the way of those blows. How do you think he would handle a faster and much stronger Wilder?

Bro, Wilder is not a boxer. There's no further outboxing you can outbox your opponent, where you put your hands behind you, and he still cant touch you. There's nothing else you can do if you're so elusive your opponent is falling over trying to hit you.

If you think you're providing some sort of insight that nobody knows, you are very mistaken.

Normal fighters have a sense of self-preservation that prevent them from over-commuting like you see up there. That's why boxing is regarded as being similar to a chess match. Nobody wants to die, so both parties generally box.

Wilder is not trying to box you. He leaves himself wide open for shots because he knows that the reward of landing that hand on you is far greater than the risk of knocking him out. Essentially, Wilder is a suicide bomber.

You cant out-tactic a suicide bomber, you simply kill him before he gets to you. Imagine doing all of this to your opponent, and he still sent you on excursion to the ancestors THREE TIMES.
Me sef dey wonder. Wilder is a KO artist not a boxer. I don't know what technicalities you are expecting from someone who has knocked down or knocked out 42 of his 43 opponents

Hes averaging 13 points as the fourth scoring option on his team. he averaged 16 and 17 along with 8 assists and 9 rebounds his first two seasons. I dont know how one instance takes away from his basketball IQ which is evident throughout games and the way that he plays. His only flaw is that he doesnt have a jumper. I'm not the biggest simmons fan but i just can't deal with irrational hate.
More proof that he doesn't want the smoke. How in the hell is he a fourth scoring option? It's what an inferior scorer will do. Ben Simmons is doing the bare minimum and whether you like it or not that is why Philly is struggling to take the next step. Great players give the team what it needs at all points in time. They know when to facilitate and when to take over. I see Ben Simmons not doing this and I'm pointing it out because it didn't start today. He doesn't just lack a jumper, he literally cannot do anything besides a dunk or layup. He's way worse than Giannis the same Giannis people insist need to improve

I don't hate Ben Simmons. Stop throwing words recklessly and irresponsibly. These are valid criticisms

Fact is there is nothing special about Wilder apart from his freakish KO ability. He is a one trick pony who couldnt lay a glove on a 56 year old fighter until the superb right hand. Wilder is 6 foot 7 with very long arms and he has no jab or any boxing skills whatsoever. He just uses a jab as a range finder for the right hand and other shitty fighters with limited skills and slow reactions end up getting caught. I don't see Wilder getting a chance against Fury if the fight eventually happens.
Sometimes that is all you need. It's worked for him his last 43 fights. Who are we to question his skills when almost 40 professional boxers have failed to solve his puzzle.

I have no problem with a limited fighter that finds a way to get it done. Wilder has a durable chin and a ton of heart too so he can stay upright while trying to find his way. You can wobble him but you won't drop him. Even your Fury got caught twice and has been dancing around a rematch ever since.

If a cab man like Otto Wallin left Fury bleeding what do you think will happen when he faces a fighter who has nuclear warheads for hands. Especially considering Fury himself lacks KO power which means Wilder for all his lack of skill will always be in the fight regardless

People are trolling Embiid for having 0pt. Have you not heard about on court load management? grin
Towns would be somewhere laughing.


And our potential MVP had 6 second to go but decided to take a spin deep 3pt from like 38ft. Someone who doesn't even attempt 15ft shots. The 76ers need to remember they are not even the 4th best team in the East.
Ben Simmons is a fraud. This ninja stopped shooting from Midway into the 3rd quarter when the game got really tight. Then with 6 seconds to go is spinning and launching 3's. This is a ninja with supposedly high basketball IQ. I don't know what people watch sometimes

He is averaging 13pts for the season grin grin. MVP potential

Of course the NBA like all of america and frankly most bodies and nations is hypocritical and selectively moral. Dont blame someone for being a different kind of hypocrite.
So you admit your MCM is a hypocrite. Thanks that wasn't so hard now was it?

KarnBarlow:
Did him speaking up change anything? Actually him resigning for that cause would have been a lot more inspiring and would have achieved a lot more. Instead the hypocrite backtracked and apologized because he feared the repercussions for himself but didnt think about the repercussions for others.
Why should there be repercussion for others? Over a tweet. That would only make his point.

KarnBarlow:
The fact that him losing comes with a caveat should tell you that he has his fans no matter how fragile.
I don't underestimate the power of populism. Still the average M.A.G.A dude is probably not buying Jordan's or Brons anyway

He doesn't have to pick a side though. We see athletes playing both sides all the time to avoid incurring losses.

I'm all for long term solutions but what if you're not in a position to do something like that? i dont see him looking for long term solutions for homelessness. Does that mean you should never give to the down trodden at all or stop someone willing to help and assume the worst of them? Even if he isnt there the next day he was there on that particular day and he helped. That counts for something.
It's his principle. Whether you like it or take offense. I have seen people end up in financial ruin because of trying to help everyone around them.

KarnBarlow:
You mean the patriots won. So now that they're on pace for another ring how do you know what to attribute to his greatness or the rest of the team? this is the problem with team achievements and team sports.
It is a credit to Brady's greatness that he is keeping New England afloat without an elite receiver, tight end or running back. You could list the top 15 in each skill position none of them play in New England.

I dare you to name 1 title New England won without monster contributions from Brady at each point.

KarnBarlow:
LOL Its 100% genuine, i cant do everything for you. You cant list as many records for brady as you can for rice. When it comes to numbers in the NFL rice is the king.
The least you can do is not to put a fake link. Besides unless you can show me an instance of Jerry Rice throwing the football and then running to catch it then you have no argument. He's also been the beneficiary of a great team and having Steve Young and Joe Cool throwing him the ball. Tom Brady plays in the games most important position and so is the GOAT

Theres nothing wrong with playing ball and making money either but they're still stereotypes. I dont know enough about you lot to understand your analogy but i know racial stereotyping is akin to bigotry.

And compare who ronaldo has to who messi has this year, their assist numbers are still not comparable. I think play making is the last area you'd want to compare the two cause messi really sets himself apart here. I can also claim messi won 6 out of 6 available competitions in a year but we all know thats down to his team not just his individual brilliance. Again, theres not one aspect of the game where ronaldo trumps messi. I hate to admit it, but its a fact.
Nigga Ronaldo is 35 with 5 CLs to his belt and league titles in 3 countries. He's in overtime as far as I'm concerned and has nothing to prove.

You cannot divorce team from individual brilliance. This is not Futsal and Messi is not taking all 11 players by himself. This is just disingenuous on your part.

Someone said Simmons had MVP potential and you scoffed at him. Even Andrew Wiggins had MVP potential just because they didn't live up to it doesn't mean it never existed. As for simmons hes 23 and seems like he wants to improve jason kidd used to be ason kidd afterall. But theres no way anyone watched that 7 footer handle the ball and think he couldn't be as good as he wanted to be.
Maybe the word MVP needs redefining. I laughed because seeing Ben Simmons skill set from the jump unless he bulks up like Giannis or Shaq or acquires a Jumpshot he would be nothing more than a tall and light skinned Rajon Rondo (but even Rondo took shots from time to time)

I see a player in his 3rd year who refuses to shoot from anywhere outside 10ft and yet is supposed to be a PG. Routinely shies away from the ball in the 4th. Cannot and will not shoot

Just the usual poverty triple doubles 12-15pts 10 rebounds, 10 assists. Ohh and we saw the basketball IQ earlier tonight

This is why LBJ was right, if you think that outrage was bizarre you're just as ignorant as daryl morey. China has zero tolerance when it comes to the unity of their regions, the rockets have influence in china which makes this even more sensitive. He as the GM came out and said something foolish that obviously his owners and the NBA had to distance themselves from. He made ignorant comments and he didnt understand their implications and he backtracked when he realized. Like i said, if he really cares about them he should resign and continue to speak up for them, surely he cant be working for people working for their oppressors no? But he wont will he? Like LBJ said, he was ignorant.
Outrage from whom and why?? If you think the outrage was not purely financial related then you're very foolish. The only thing this has exposed is a league that talks from both sides of it's mouth when it comes to human rights, free speech and any form of activism which your MCM is representative of

KarnBarlow:
Why would he? you said he tweeted his conscience? did that change cause of the outrage? LMAO! If thats truly his conscience why doesnt he stick by it and resign.
Will his resignation stop what is going on in China? What does that solve? Will the problem go away? This makes 0 sense

What were the issues with the right? You do realize that whichever side you are perceived to represent would alienate you either from the right or the left one way or another. Stop being foolish and binary I'm sure you were taught better in that your Cyprus University

Whatever $$ he lost from the right he would surely gain from aligning with the left, who are more inclined to patronize his merchandise anyway.

KarnBarlow:
But you just admitted both you and daryl werent educated on the issue seeing as you claimed the backlash was bizarre, meaning you dont know the sensitivity of the issue to china and how strong their ties are with the NBA. Again if morey is so right he should put his money where his mouth is and resign, i mean after you said he spoke his conscience, how does it allow him to still work for the rockets after they backed down to these "oppressors"
You're incapable of critical thinking, you were too busy peddling drugs instead of paying attention in that your Cypriot community college. A random, isolated tweet should have been accepted for what it is and not the extremely polarizing response it got. That just shows you the kind of people they are in bed with, the idea that a tweet can put the lives of players at risk

He has chosen not to resign. Why not go and sack him. Anuofia

KarnBarlow:
Which is exactly why you dont jump into conclusion and accuse them of laziness. He didnt give a long term solution he made an uneducated comment and a dangerous generalization. Its not about the efficacy of giving them moment in that moment, its about having the empathy to if not ease a persons suffering in that moment not stop someone who was willing to. What do you think barkley did with that money afterwards? he just deprived a possibly disturbed person from a meal, he took away from him in the short term and added nothing to his life in the long term.
He didn't accuse them of laziness. He said someone that can ask you for money can work. How is that a laziness accusation? Who cursed you with such poor comprehension? Jeeez

How do you know they are suffering? For all you know the person could be a conman. They could be genuinely in need as well but how can you tell? How many people will Barkley be able to help? What happens if there is nobody to help tomorrow? Whether you like it or not it is not a feasible way to go in the long term.

After all where was your man when his team was getting flattened by Ajax (LOL) last season. I expect a proper response next time around. As a football player what does ronaldo do better than messi, its simple.
No-brainer. If you have Mbappe in your squad and your opponent has Rashford you're likely to rack up more assists

I keep telling you where Messi led Barca fell short because I would expect the so-called better passer and playmaker to make a difference where required not pad numbers against La Liga farmers and go missing in the business end of the biggest competition in Europe.

Those distractions are good for Fury. He looked burned out in his last fight, he needed a break from training.

The problem with Fury is if hes not training or doing something his mental health suffers. So staying active with wrestling etc plus getting a break from constant boxing training is a perfect solution. Wilder should be scared and ashamed he couldn't beat a sluggish and overweight Fury last time out.
I respect Fury's heart and skills and also feel he should have nicked the decision vs Wilder but you can't underplay the Champions advantage especially when said Champion put you on the floor twice.

Whether Wilder should be scared or ashamed of not beating a sluggish and overweight Fury is immaterial. Fury is a professional athlete and it's his problem if he chooses not to keep himself in peak mental and physical condition to convincingly win fights. He's 3 years younger and fought almost 20 fights less than Wilder. He has no excuse

He tweeted his conscience with no regard to how that affects others in the league. Every action someone in the NBA takes as far as this issue affects everyone else so as long its not a consensus agreement or at least a plurality, then its selfish. He wants to lose his job then maybe he should resign and move to hong kong and join the protests. Plus if he was so willing to lose his job why did he apologize afterwards? seems he didnt fully understand the ramifications of his actions and hence was ignorant of the issue. MIT or not, you can be a graduate and be uneducated or ignorant of an issue. You should know that better than anyone else.
You're relentlessly obtuse. Name one team in the league with closer ties to the Chinese than the Rockets, just one. There is nobody that had more to lose than Darryl Morey and his organization.

The outrage on Morey's statement was bizarre and unnecessary, it was a personal statement on his personal account and a personal opinion not directly linked to the NBA or even the Rockets

Are you seriously asking why he apologized? You ask the most ret@rded questions

KarnBarlow:
You send when he didnt speak up when it counted? so it only counts when its hong kong? LOL! Miss me with that rubbish.
It counted when he needed to speak up or miss out on Chinese $$ and we know the route he took

KarnBarlow:
You're buying to narrative as well? how gullible can a person be. He lost the popular vote by a few points and still has people willing to do anything for him. He has at least half the country behind his back and the way things look with dweebs the democrats are putting forward he'll probably get re-elected again. The same media that told you he wasnt going to win is telling you no one likes him. Donald trump is the true face of America, not the picture they're trying to paint. Hes polarizing, but he has his fans most of whom hate lebron and that does something to your brand. To say that his tense relationship with the right doesnt affect his brand and business is extremely ignorant.
You have to go back to George W Bush to find the last President that lost a popular vote and even George Bush did not lose by 2 million votes.

If you think one of the most unpopular Presidents in recent history has more than half the country behind his back then you're sadly mistaken. Confusing the loud minority of MAGA folk as endorsement of Trump's popularity shows how confused you are. I have no qualms with Trump he is reasonably authentic and he has never portrayed himself to be who he is not. Don't confuse the Dems inability to present a strong candidate for Trump's popularity

LeNomad does not have problems with the right but mainly with MAGA apologists. It is naïve and ignorant on your part to think every right winger is in agreement with Trump and his policies. I'm sure in your ignorant mind LeNomad has no fans on the right

KarnBarlow:
Good! Then why does the geordie shore get pissed when we say that hes not and try to paint him as that? Playing to the gallery like i said draws attention to issues and gets more people behind it.
Who the fuq is pissed? It is pocket watching kangaroos like you that drag athletes and expect flawed human beings like you to fight your battles. Charles Barkley came out openly to say he's not a role model

There is no rule that says you must talk and draw attention to issues when you could rather do the background work to effect actual changes and empowerment. Neither approach is inferior to the other

KarnBarlow:
He didnt criticize him for his views about hong kong, he criticized him for his timing and the fact that he ruined other NBA players trips potentially putting them in danger. And he was right!
Shut up your smelling mouth you oppression apologist. He criticised him for not being educated about the issue at hand and not just the timing. Ohh and by the way if anything had happened to the NBA players as being opined then wouldn't that prove Darryl Morey's point anyway and perhaps make you wonder why they visited China in the first place.

KarnBarlow:
You think its easy for mentally impaired people to get jobs? LMAO Like i said, it needs special attention and systematic change, its not for want of trying on their part.
How do you tell who is mentally impaired and who is not? Stop reaching you Muppet! Do you go around the street verifying every beggar's mental health status? How realistic is that

KarnBarlow:
What proof did jordan have that he didnt have an ailment to imply that he was homeless cause he was lazy? like i said, he may or may not be but the least you can do is not jump to conclusions. It was an insensitive assumption.
If ten random able bodied men came to ask you for money on the street how many would you give money before you begin asking some questions. MJ did not jump into conclusions he gave a long term solution that any sensible human will agree with. Life is unpredictable but don't out of hate see black and call it white

KarnBarlow:
This is the quote, its not a matter of a hypothetical.
And I ask you again. How much longer can you give a homeless person money. Who gives him money the next week when he's spent the one you gave him last week


KarnBarlow:
LOL You are starting to lose the plot and i love it. We're not perfect, we have our flaws. But i'd much rather that than a culture of crime violence immorality and fraud which might explain your insensitivity. We all have our flaws, some more than others but you know what they say about those who live in glass houses.
Lmaooooooo what a clown. Don't even start! Did you just say crime, violence, immorality. Hahahaha I would pretend I didn't read that. You lot have the worst junkies and the most violent parts of the country. It's not even hate but pure facts and this Muppet is talking about glass houses. These jokes write themselves

KarnBarlow:
LMAO And brady was throwing the ball to himself? he too had other teammates and of course that solid defense. You're bringing up bradys records but like i said, Rice has over a hundred so you're coming to a nuclear war with a strap. This man actually brought up a video game LOL Dude, i need a more cogent argument since you claim to know the sport and so far this is nonsense.

Resorting to bigotry just tells me your brain is incapable of putting together coherent arguments, you know you're losing woefully so you're taking the easy way out. I love it cheesy
A Quarterback has more influence on a game than a WR.

Jerry Rice had Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing him the football. If you think Rice got his records without their help then you're more ret@rded than I initially feared. I dare you to name a top 10 WR or TE not named Randy Moss (0 Superbowl wins) or Rob Gronkowski (4 Superbowl wins without him) that played with Tom Brady

Btw come and list the 100 records Jerry Rice has you shameless liar. I put it to you that Tom Brady has more records than Jerry Rice

It's not bigotry if it's true. Keep using words above your pay grade. What is bigotry about rearing cattle?? Is it not a honest day's job? You're not just losing this argument but your mind as well it seems

KarnBarlow:
You're the one in love with Ronaldo not me.
Ok homoerotic nuisance

KarnBarlow:
And one title messi hasnt won in spain? their teams have both won, but they didnt win it all. But individually their numbers dont lie. More goals, more assists, more accolades. Messi started as a right winger, hes been out scoring your man crush as basically a midfielder over the past few years, i'm still waiting for you to tell me the one thing ronnie does better than messi.
Ronaldo spent 9 seasons in Madrid won every trophy available and left.

No shyte Sherlock. I would expect a player who has played with lethal marksmen like Eto'o, Henry, Villa, Suarez,Neymar to gather more assists

The question is where were these goals and assists to save Barcelona from two of the biggest chokejobs in CL history.

You mean Messi could not score just one goal that would have saved his side from humiliation last season?? All these goals and no CL Finals for Messi since 2015. Lol

KarnBarlow:
LOL Okay. Its certainly not the man pushing forty who loves to throw comical insults on nairaland thats miserable. I guess the angels must have turned down the thermostat because everyone can see that i own you now. I am your father.
Lol I'm more than two democratically elected terms away from forty but go awffff. You would not be the first fool to confuse my moniker for my actual age.

I just love taking presidential dumps on your head for the fun of it. And when I'm through leave you questioning your mental state before deactivating your account

I would claim you as my seed but heaven forbid I sire a mentally retarded wasteman like you. I would rather be a Tibetan monk

A lot of people just have Europhobia. They have bit into the narrative that any and everything European is slower and soft and what not. You would think guys like Dirk, Pau, Tony Parker, Giannis would have changed their narrative but apparently it's not the case

Ruled correctly Arsenal won't have any reason to go out and attack in the 2nd half

The first goal of a match is crucial
Chalk off the goal and the match ends 2-1. No point going into what Arsenal can and cannot do. I saw River Plate this weekend blow a 1 goal lead in less than 90 seconds. Goals can come at anytime

Ignore the idiot. I have no qualms with anyone who prefers Messi, a purist might prefer Messi but to suggest that it's not debatable is borderline lunacy. Like someone saying Michael Jackson and Prince can't be compared. Each player has their respective appeal.

Naah you juxtaposed china and hong kong and tried to portray them in a more positive light implying that this was owing to their policies.
I have to ask for your medical reports at this point. You did confess to seeing a shrink to help you with your mental issues a while ago. No?

Because I never juxtaposed both countries as regarding their policies, I highlighted the fact that China had nothing to do with Hong Kong's development you confused and lying midget

KarnBarlow:
Actually... You did old man. I hear once memory starts to dissipates when he scales 30. Sorry old man, father time.

Oppression apologist

KarnBarlow:
So what exactly did he say to support china? He simply pointed out that Morey shouldnt have said what he said at the time he said it because the lakers and nets were on the way there. Would Morey have said the same if the rockets were headed there? it was incredibly selfish and ignorant of him.
Shut up! He alluded to an MIT grad being uninformed about a matter he also knew absolutely nothing about

Morey tweeted his conscience you fool! There is literally no team in the league that stands to bear the brunt of that tweet than the Houston Rockets. Which surprise surprise he's the GM of. He could easily have lost his job. Very retarded of you to claim that was selfish and ignorant of him when he had more to lose than anyone else

KarnBarlow:
You just claimed speaking up achieves nothing which is extremely ignorant. Now jordan is getting things done silently? LMAO! Okay..
Talking achieves nothing if it's not backed with action.

KarnBarlow:
When has lebron not spoken up for his community? from police brutality to youth athletes, hes always stood up for his people. Exactly what put him at odds with a huge section of the country and even the president even at the detriment of his business. Something your man didnt do because "republicans buy shoes too" right? man the fact that you are comparing lebron and jordan off the court sums up how far the geordie shore is up his butt.
Where did I say LeNomad has not spoken for his community?

At odds with who? Fool nobody likes Trump. He gets booed at games in the country's capital and is arguably the most unpopular President in US history. A President we have Championship winning teams openly refusing to visit? FOH! Nobody is losing business because they are at odds with Trump

Jordan never portrayed himself as a social crusader but he still did work in the community. Not everyone believes in playing to the gallery like your man

KarnBarlow:
Wait are you talking about the hong kongers? you want lebron to stand up for the hong kongers? how about fvck the hong kongers. The same people who kick when he talks about issues he has first hand experience on and tell him to stick to basketball suddenly want him to talk about those spoiled brats to cause chaos? Naah, fvck that!
Are you dyslexic? All LeNomad had to do was not criticize someone that did stand up for Hong Kongers that was literally all he had to do.

Stop acting like LeNomad was all by himself and got unwittingly dragged into this mess

KarnBarlow:
Advise a mentally ill person with PTSD for instance to get a job? LMAO cheesy cheesy
There are people with different ailments still getting jobs. What proof do you have that all the people Barkley gave money or tried to give money were mentally ill. You're just too dense

KarnBarlow:
MJs approach of mocking possibly mentally ill people is the best? Man, get off this mans dick. Like i said, homelessness is something that requires systematic change and if thats not something you can bring about at least do something to help them in the short term be it money or food or at least dont mock their condition by assuming its caused by laziness or can be solved by employment. Thats not how mental illness works, you should know better than everyone.
How is advising someone to get work that will provide a long term solution to their problem mocking them. You're dangerously obtuse. If work will not solve their problem is it continued begging that will?

Did you or Charles Barkley verify that any of these people were actually homeless

WTF is this loon on about? What happens if there is no Charles Barkley to give them a few $$ tomorrow. I don't blame you anyway. Your almajiri mentality is at work here. You lot literally have a culture of begging and subservience and would rather give a man fish than teach him how to fish. So he will forever be at servitude. My bad


KarnBarlow:
No one said hes a bum, but like i said using these titles to justify hes goat status is useless. As far as individual accolades theres no way you can compare him to a man with over a hundred nfl records. Its shameful that for someone who claims to know american football you cant put together a cogent argument on the topic. Not gonna lie you seem like a charlatan.
You're a confused numpty! Titles also count, Jerry Rice or whoever it is you have above Tom Terrific would not be rated that highly without the 3 rings he won at San Francisco. Jerry Rice was not throwing the football to himself you buffoon. He had Quarterbacks that fed him the ball

Tom Brady is the GOAT. Been to the most Superbowls, has the most playoff wins, most rings, most Superbowl TDs, most Superbowl MVPs. There is literally a video game GOAT edition named after Tom Brady

Shut up and listen to people that have been following the Sport while you were still tending to cattle in Funtua

KarnBarlow:
LMAO, why did he lead his team to all those la liga titles as well? or cup titles? This dude is still using team achievements to justify one someone who can literally do nothing better than messi to say hes better than messi. Dude, just tell me, what does he do on the field better than messi, one thing. Thats right, not a single damn thing. Ronaldo is not even the second greatest player of all time, get off his dick.
This homoerotic nuisance is at it again. I don't blame you anyway. The internet is the only safe space for you to display your homoerotic ways without getting stoned to death

Can you name just one title C.Ronaldo did not win in his time in Spain?

This buffoon claims Messi is a better scorer than Ronaldo because Ronaldo spent his formative years as a conventional winger while Messi had the luxury of playing as a false 9 since he turned 22.

Come and explain why Messi's superior abilities could not rescue his team from two of the biggest chokejobs in CL history

That Luka boy was a finished product before getting into the league and to think he's just 20. Simmons still has a lot to learn and it looks like he's comfortable with where he's at.
But some thought he wouldn't ball because he was coming from the Euroleague, a league the casual NBA fan looks down on because the players are not stronger, bigger, faster and more athletic than players in the American system. We had people suggesting the youngest Euroleague MVP in history would be a bust

Probably that. He was neither a Dynamic nor an Aggresive scorer coming into League however many expected Him to develop that part of His game as He became more accustomed to the league. He was already a very good Facilitator and Defender and with His somewhat high BBIQ, everyone thought it was only a matter of time. Alas No.

Kidd's development somewhat gives me hope that maybe all is not lost but then again Kidd was simply a terrible shooter not a Non shooter when He came into the league.
I swear to God I never got the hype around Ben Simmons. This is not even out of beef or anything. He's a good player but I didn't see that supernova potential that joins your team and everything changes. I just didn't

He might still wind up improving and proving me wrong but I don't see Ben Simmons and think in the 4th quarter of a Game 7 or a tight game this guy can take over
