Shannon sharpe exposing the hypocrisy he says nobody had relationship with a player like the sportscaster ahmad rashad had with Michael Jordan but they don’t never say they were on his payroll or his stans like they do with LeBron James pic.twitter.com/mEvXg0FK4V

Bronsexualism has to be a form of mental illness. No other explanation for why a nigga almost 60 is fooling himself like this.

Imagine comparing your effeminate self to OG Ahmad Rashad. An ex player and journalist that actually covered the game agenda free and wasn't on TV being a mascot and a groupie. Rashad was not out there trying to fight young men younger than his son for LeBronze
Ahmad and MJ are actually boys and frat brothers. It's not a one way adulation and respect like your case

It's crazy as a HOFer in your own right how the hell are you fanned out over a nigga wey no really rate you and you're old enough to be his dad. You're supposed to be his OG not his Stan ffs

This is not boxing. They're doing MMA and calling it boxing. Portable should have points deducted for that leg sweep.

Don't know how fans enjoy this rubbish tbh. But I guess we are all bored

Are you saying investing in your motherland is a bad idea?

Na him take him hand do himself

Investing in a weak economy currently functioning without rule of law is a kamikaze pilot dummy mission.

Once you sign up for that you should be very open to losing your money

TrebleChamp:
I agree with everything you post here, but you see this Carrick own just respect yourself....

Lol. How he go say Rodri no fit face Carrick. No be craze be that?

Carrick wey no fit crack National team and even when he played zero impact.

popizaino:
What does appearance got to do with actual ability?

Not even recognising Micheal Carrick as one of the DM greats that can enter Busquet,Rodri's conversation tells me what i need to know about your view on DM.

You do not even know about the position you want to lecture me on. Just wanting to sell a world cup myth that i have refused to buy.

Carrick is DM great for premiership level abeg. When you start putting him in conversations he doesn't belong is when I look you with side eye

Hahaha you're a joker. Who is trying to sell you on anything? I have to care about your opinion first before I sell you on anything

The people with relevant opinions in FIFA and UEFA has awarded him all the awards relevant to football. Wetin consign me and your opinion

AirBere:

Make A-Forty no catch you oo.

Anyways, we agree to disagree.

Carrick wey barely dey enter that mid English national team

Carrick una. 34 caps in almost 14 years despite playing for the biggest club in England tells you how much of a non entity he was

I can't even take this guy's footie punditry seriously at this point

AirBere:
Football doesn't work like this. It's not about who's gonna hold who and all that. Before flogging France, we had people asking how Spain won euros. Some were so sure France will win the whole thing because I mean who was gonna stop Mbape, Demebele, Doue and Olise. But collectively, Spain found them pretty easy.

Messi in his absolute peak was shut down by Chelsea and Inter Milan.

I respect Fergie but Pep is just tactically superior. Tevez, Rooney fit no see ball play. They may score but at full time, my money is on the team coached by Pep.

E think say football na by muscle. Fergie can only braggado when he's facing Wenger and Rafa Benitez

The same Tevez and Rooney wey no see road for 2009? If not Henry with him usual jogodo for Finals no be like 4 them for collect?

With makeshift back line btw

So LeBronze really reached out to heaux himself to the Knicks

This guy is the most shameless athlete in the history of the sport. Didn't he snub them long time ago

I trust LeBronze he would have ran to San Antonio at worst while KD would have joined the Lakers back in 01/02

39 year old MJ was not running to Superteams

The real ring creator.

BlueMann:
Lavia "felt something in his hamstring"

Una for just allow am go Liverpool jeje. 29 league apps since 2023 is nasty work

I looked up her rap sheet. She's the one that was harassing Taylor Swift live on air over broadcast at a Knicks game.

This woman clearly has a one sided beef with white women. I will bet she is one of those still angry Travis Kelce left a black woman to go and be with Taylor.

Abajo. Cos I remember the meltdown that day on Twitter. It was femcel apocalypse

She is probably the type that either wants a white man so sees white women as competition or the black men she wanted also left her for a white woman.

Agenda agending. Make una dey there, dey yarn dust. Meanwhile they targeting folk based on color, then turning around and calling them the racist instead. But typical black man, until e touch am personally, na grammar e go dey talk. Kwantinue

The problem with you people is that you guys think being black should shield you from criticism. Or that because their ancestors were once oppressed that means you have carte Blanche to run amok oppressing everybody. You sound like one of those 'black people can't be racist' types

We are seeing it in South Africa now. People who's ancestors faced Apartheid have now turned the gun on other Africans. Same thing happened in Liberia. Where erstwhile the oppressed and children of the oppressed become the oppressors

You're telling me now that this goofy broad cannot tell the difference between Caitlin Clark herself and the problematic fans that she didn't beg to support and has constantly dissociated herself from.

but I do think as she continues to matriculate through this league, there's room for a little bit more accountability and self-awareness in terms of her role in the larger sisterhood, if she sees it that way, in the WNBA

What has been her offense that warranted this silly statement right here. She's only 24. What star in any other sport is this kind of pressure put on? Especially women who are not necessarily built for it to begin with.

That is how Angel Reese lied about racial abuse last season and tried to get a WNBA coach lynched this year and was even suspended for a game.

If you think cos I'm black I will support black foolishness you're joking. I will rather support people like Jaylen Brown not race grifters and hustlers like Ryan Clark who perform for their audience and can't even apologize for misinformation or 🤡 like that lady above who is speaking from racial jealousy and desirability politics

Be like Klutch sport don cut Fisher cheque

Ring creator that jumps from team to team. 5th different stop. 4 iterations of Superteams.

4 rings in 23 years? nigga I can divide

birdman:
how you so sure he was dissing him though. or fans just reading too much into everything?

Come on man. Give or take you've spent 4 decades on this earth. You are likely older than me

You can tell passive aggressive and subliminal behavior, I'm pretty sure you're street smart.

If you want to feign ignorance of what's being implied no wahala. That's part of your human right, but I'm sure you know better or more importantly if you were Jaylen Brown watching that how you would react

SmooshCHN:
What MVP? He should speak up abeg. Make we hear wetin e wan talk. The amount of scrutiny JB has gone through before they won and even after? JT should just let sleeping dogs lie. If anything, J.B should get his flowers. I honestly didn't expect him to do so well last season but the gist from the Celtics (I honestly don't know how true) was that Derrick White was better. I'm sure Brown would have his complaints too. Both parties are happier now so.

Talking time will soon be over. It will be time to show and prove for the Celtics.

If JB goes on to win in Philly and the Celtics struggle. No amount of salaye will save anybody. Not even JT

I'm not even interested in if JB was the bad guy anymore. None of that is going to matter on the court

birdman:
you dont have to respect it, its not your fight really. you can always find the clips of rg3 dogging angela reese if you wnat to, race baiting a sister. And RC did the right thing, put the cornball in his place. Anyhow, its like an american coming to lagos or abuja and trying to discuss hausa fulani issues. the context is lost. It is what it is.

What is your point exactly? There are many things that are not our fights and we intervene or are expected to intervene regardless.

RC is a goofball for questioning the blackness or bringing up his interracial relationships and I stand by that. He is a race grifter and race hustler. And that's why he's had to severally come on live TV to apologize and walk back his uninformed comments.

Why are you questioning another man's black card cos he made an obvious observation. Based on basketball!

He said Reese hated Clark and had more smoke for her than her fellow black players on the court that attack her physically? Did he lie. Didn't we see proof?

RC is not the blackness sheriff. Nobody died and appointed him or either of you to decide who can give commentaries on these issues

Also an American can discuss on any issues he pleases as far as he has done his research and understands the context. The same way everyone is carrying Jewish and Palestine matter for head.

You don't need to be Martin Scorcese to say "this movie sucks" so miss me with your example

birdman:
that he keeps quiet doesnt mean he is a do-boy. Maybe just older and wiser

That's what it sounds like. Everyone can't be a radical I get that. But a wiser person will not sneak diss his ex teammate like that who's said nothing about him in a negative or incendiary manner

raumdeuter:
Also his footwork is not very good makes it awkward for him to bounce off tricky situations. He built his boxing career as a power puncher and its been hard for him to move away. I was hoping sparring with Usyk will improve that part of his skills
I guess it might be too late
Make he just cash out as much as possible in the next 4yrs then retiree

He is an athlete that trained for boxing. Blessed with power but stiff. Doesn't matter if you're built like Adonis. Nothing can train your chin

Nothing Usyk wan teach 35 plus man. If e no dey e no dey
For all his limitations he's already gone really far and as far as he can go in the sport

I think he is scheduled to face Fury next. That should be the biggest fight in history of British boxing. After that fight I don't know what other reason he should have to keep fighting. He's made more money than he can spend in his natural life. Unless he's living Mayweather lifestyle it makes no sense to keep fighting. Those receipts for those hits will come due at old age

SmooshCHN:
This sounds more like a “not the smartest person in the room” problem. If this is what he thinks of the whole situation, he definitely would’ve struggled being around someone as intelligent and confident as Kobe his idol. Funny enough, he smart mouth was quiet when he came back early from injury and disrupted the team’s rhythm after JB had carried them all season.
Like JB said, the bar is ridiculously low for some NBA players, and it’s becoming more obvious by the day.

Boston have a culture where no one is bigger than the team, so it’s understandable why JB would be viewed differently. In the end, it was a situation where both sides needed to move on.

We have an interesting season coming.

Tatum is the typical company man. Do-boy follow follow that is cool with not rocking the boat. However these comments are in poor form

Unless JB has shaded him in the past which we are not aware of.

This is not how you come out to sneak diss your fellow comrade.

I just think he's always had a silent beef with Brown and at the end of the day Oba o le pe meji laafin. He probably still feels those MVPs should have gone to him

These guys all have an ego. They just play it differently

raumdeuter:
I was disappointed that Joshua got knocked down twice in the first round. Even though he eventually won

He cant eat any punch, he is always one lucky punch from a blackout

Actually 3 knockdowns. His chin is just too dodgy. Almost Frank Brunoesque

He reminds me of Alistair Overeem in MMA.

Their chins always let them down in fights. Even fights they might ordinarily have won comfortably. Their glass jaw will make it a dogfight

etidy:

Jayson Tatum shares a motivational message on being a leader:

“Being around somebody that feels like they know it all, I don’t wanna be around that person. I don’t wanna be the smartest person in the room, I want to learn from somebody else.”

The media has an agenda against Jaleyn Brown fc where una dy?

Ooh shit! It's Just his usually quiet co-star throwing shade at him... Hmm.

Boston dropped the ball for not getting a Giannis and for trading Brown to a direct rival for peanuts but it's clear that he has issues that was even affecting the locker room. The dude needed to tone down his ego or be traded.

Looool. Anyway it's good he's confirming that them two do not rock with each other like that. I've always suspected that was the case and now it's bleeding obvious

Only thing to be said is it's time for Tatum to show and prove. If the Celtics struggle I'm fairly certain Boston fans will not go for this Humblesmith gimmick

I smell a twinge of bad belle as well. You're supposed to be the Batman but Brown won ECF MVP and Finals MVP. He can't pass a lie detector test and say he wasn't jealous

Nobody has provided proof of Jaylen Brown actually being a locker room cancer. Fighting coaches and trainers. That's when I will agree he's a problem other than that?

Anyway it's now 100% his team. Let's see what he can do

popizaino:
What of Notes series?

I've never used a Note before.

A and Galaxy S series is what I'm familiar with

airmark:
If you need a dossier on that spineless DM, I will give you for free.

Popizaino has zero knowledge of who he is defending. Comparing a player that never made FIFA best XI to a Ballon d’or winner is senseless.

These were all in his prime in case Popizaino wants to play games of age He was always useless performing his primary role of shielding the defence, but those in his fronts were always there to carry him.

Busquets is the embodiment of the power of misinformation.

If enough people start hyping mid you begin to think that player is better than he really is.

Imagine a team that had already won Euros with Marcos Senna playing DM. Someone now coming to say Busquets was the difference maker. He was merely a passenger. And none of his defenders can coherently defend the Euro 2012 Finals graphic I posted up.

He was still in his prime in Euro 2016 and WC 2014 when Spain were taken to the cleaners

To show you these Busquets supporters are not expressing original thoughts they even bring up the 2022 World Cup where Passenger Emeritus was one of the worst flops for Spain.

Imagine the level of mid you have to be that the player being played out of position to accommodate you is out playing and doing your job for you all the way from CB

Kilishihunter:
It's towards the end of his career that made him get most slack but busquets was not a passenger during his xaviesta era. Possession football looks hard but once there's a faulty cog the wheel won't roll. You can think Rodri is better which is helped by his honours (IMO he's the better ball winner, duelist and scorer) while busi is better in possession and positioning) but trying to write off the other as a carry along is not true. If olmo, Ruiz it Pedri didn't also perform their midfield roles in the world cup effectively Rodri's work will not be utilized.

Walahi the guy was a passenger. From start to finish. What worked in Barca and Spain's favor was the extraordinary talent disparity at their respective positions.

Every time the playing field was leveled. Busquets deficiencies stuck out like a sore thumb.

Whenever he had no Xabi, Xavi to hold his hand he was mostly bang average.

Of course it's a team sport. I'm not one of those that believe in "carrying" or "dragging" narrative. In a 11 man sport that is ridiculous for the most part. But you can be outstanding in your role

Enzo5:
even if it's not Mourinho, any sensible manage would want some sanity in the dressing room, the question is, is that possible with all those egos clashing at some point person gots commot for that team to move forward

Akpororo Jr can play it's just his diva tendencies he needs to sort out.

I don't like people that try to be victim and Victor. You have to choose one and stay there

Madrid real problem is in midfield

This Joshua chin no remedy. I don't think he will survive even a old Wilder cos that chin no go gree am.

Ngannou had to be kicking himself for not getting the chance to test that chin

GloriousGbola:
I think I am a techie and imho when all is said and done for most adults a phone or tablet is largely a media consumption device.

Maybe the younger generation can be manipulated by big tech into using a phone or tablet for work, but for me outside of some productivity apps and email and site pictures, the phone is just there. It cannot match a pc for document editing, management and organisation.

As it is I am trying to get the different teams to do proper document management. WhatsApp is great for day to day site oversight, but lousy when you need to compile a week's or months data if you have not properly set up a system. On top of that let anyone lose their phone or have their phone crash and data may be lost.



One reason for the proliferation of budget devices in Nigeria is that you will find most end users use your flagship phone and your high end phone exactly the same way. The best they will do is have someone at the store 'load' the device for them with free apps. I doubt if most Samsung flagship device users can tell you the free app subscriptions bundled with their phones. I had a galaxy note three some years back. Then any Samsung device came with one year of Evernote subscription. Two years of Dropbox for new users. But I doubt your average phone user even knows what dropbox or Evernote is. E no go pass to install bible or Quran app.

Most of those apps sef na your normal bloatware

If you're not heavy on tech or phone features you no too need the Galaxy series tbh. A Series will do the job

Person wey dey use just Bible app make just maintain with A series

Ibime:
I noticed most of my phones in this budget range last 3 years before becoming slightly slow, not that there is much problem, then I change them.

If I'm using Redmi at £120 for 3 years with no issues, that's £40 per year depreciation

If I'm using Samsung S24 for 5 years with no issues, that's £100 per year depreciation

The Redmi beats the Samsung on the Maths. Not really a techie guy that will need all the extra features. By the time you put screen protector and protective case, I can't tell one phone from another

I no know as I go explain am to you but it's not about the ability to tell from outside, it's about when you're using both you will easily tell the difference.

You said people were complaining about your camera. You will definitely not have those problems with a Samsung.

Obviously if you're going strictly on costs it's not even an argument Redmi is better

But durability, functions and just the UX. It's not close

bolu96:
Preach sir! Preach sir!!

It's still the best among them all. I will die on that hill

iamoyindamola:
What of samsung rainbow or Netflix screen
A series are okay compare to S series that develop screen issues

A Series is also good and probably better for Ibime since he no wan too spend but S-series to me is much better if you care about camera and processing speed.

Screen issues I feel like you have to totally smash your screen to have issues with Samsung. Anyway without being told you should probably get Gorilla glass protection

GloriousGbola:
@ibime I and my business partner have/had Samsung phones. Both our phones developed faults at periods when we could needed urgent backups and could not shell out 500 to 900k. We bought xiaomi.

The ui is not as smooth as that of Samsung and it has a tendency to aggressively push ads and wallpaper themes at you.

It's an issue for me, but my pikins who I got xiaomi phones for have embraced the themes and are using their own unique styles.

IMHO just ensure you buy a phone with reasonably high spec and you will be fine.

Don't know what particular features are important in the UK, but for me personally I use the phone to make calls, as a work communication tool (WhatsApp), for site pictures, to faff around on Nairaland, to browse reddit, watch YouTube videos.

Last time I played a game on a phone must have been years ago. Outside of that one or two productivity apps I don't really use. I am sure you are the same

I have never personally been able to justify buying a high end Samsung or iPhone. A good 4k TV was 500 to 800k. This was also the price of a phone. I can enjoy a movie, TV shows and games on a giant screen. Why would I be watching a movie on a 6 inch screen? All that 2k or 4k screen resolution Etal makes no technical sense to me on a 5 or 6 inch screen. Imho valve understood this which is why steam deck resolution is 720p. Theres always talk about using your phone as a pc replacement or supplementary device, but if you are an actual power user this becomes bs very quickly. Some of my guys in the field have edited office documents on thier phones with horrible results. Document formatting 101% scattered.

If you are looking for a redmi alternative maybe go for the new Motorolas. Jerryrigeverything had a great review for a $500 model recently that he compared with the s26.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y-D4gYIVe4?si=rDDuopOR93-HbAeI

I suspect that as a numbers guy you are not impressed with the real value proposition of high end Samsung phones especially as they are not a UK status symbol. You guys did invent classicism, after all.

Also there is the Samsung a series from a0x to a7x I think. These are budget Samsungs and the 0 to the 7 apparently indicates the grade. For instance the a0x series is almost all plastic, two lenses with mediatek. A5x has amoled (I think) with three to four lenses.

Invest in a good Samsung @Ibime. S23-24

No be about classism. That's the only brand I know you can use 4-5 years with no issues. As far you don't crack the screen

No phone like Samsung IMO
