I don't believe all the refs are Harden fans or silently rooting for Harden. Surely there must be a loophole he is exploiting to get to the line. Lou Williams does this too and doesn't get the same level of hate

Happy New Year folks

Kyrie Irving averaged 5 more pts per game in that series than Steph Curry the best player on the Warriors team even dropping 41pts in an elimination game on fewer shots, yet this imposter to Jordan's throne has the nerve to call himself the GOAT. After all that help from Kyrie?

Anyway it's not his fault. I blame Steph and Klay for freezing and playing like pure w@nk

Happy New Year folks

2019 the year Bayern Munich returns to the summit of European football

This is Bayern offering Hummels to Chelsea for 30M

http://www.espn.com/soccer/blog/transfer-talk/79/post/3739352/transfer-talk-chelsea-given-30m-pricetag-for-bayern-munichs-mats-hummels

It is claimed the Blues asked the Bundesliga champions to name their price for Hummels and were told he would cost in the region of £30 million.

But Chelsea were also told they needed to move fast so Bayern had enough time to find a replacement, he has only started three of the last nine league games due to a combination of injury and selection

Maybe na him we go use fund this Lucas Hernandez transfer at last. This will be bittersweet for Airmark. Let's see if his love for Hummels is true or oju aye

airmark:
Football is business. If Chelsea could fall for Morata deal, Bayern may be looking at united or those chinese iddiots to bring money for a calamitous defender, packaged as a world cup winner. Bayern wanted to scam with him, united and Psg fans are now thanking God for not falling victims to your heartless board.

If any club brings 40m today, Boathand won't spend the second week in Germany as a bayern player.

Rummenigge wanted to frustrate him out of Munich, you don't do that to a player you regard as key to your success. None of other key players players were treated like this. Everyone knows without him, Bayern can win matches and not concede foolishly.

It's a shame that at 30, even Dayo confirmed he is no more useful. Carry-along m0f0, since 2013.

Lmaooooo you're just yarning megedefegede. If Kalle was serious about selling Boateng he would not slap €50m on him. How much did we sell Vidal, Bernat, Kroos, Schweinsteiger etc? Bayern is not a club that makes outrageous demands for players they have no interest in keeping never mind jacking up the initial price of €40m

Rummenigge wanted to frustrate him out of Bayern but increased his transfer price knowing fully well PSG would not pay €50m. Better go and beg Sarri to pay €40m and come and carry your MCM Hummels

You're not even ashamed. Since you started your campaign of calumny against Boateng for almost 4 years now no results. Even Hummels the new bride is dragging bench with Kovac while 'Sülemana' is Undisputed starter

Anyways hit me up whenever any Chelsea player accomplishes these feats

Prolapsed anus? What are you trying to say about Pataki.

He is under Intensive anti Warapa care after getting violently sodomized by one of his patrons

airmark:
He wasn't benched in your last Monchegladbach match. Was he? Oponu apari



You don't even know what's happening in your team. The president said Boathand was up for sale before the world cup, unknown to Boathand.

Rummenigge suggests Boateng will be sold if price is right
"I don't hide the fact that we have a financial threshold, but it won't be low for sure. But I know that Jerome is thinking about leaving," the Bayern chairman told Sport Bild.

They wanted to force his exit.

Boathand was shocked.

"I do not know why these statements were made", says Boateng

Unless you are not intelligent, you wouldn't understand that scheming.

You want to force someone's exit yet renege on a previously agreed sum. If you're desperate to sell a player that you claim is not good you will not increase his selling price from €40m to €50m. This shows Rummenigge was not serious about selling Boateng

Of course Jerome was very open to playing for PSG. This he has said in the past which caused problems between him Rummenigge and Hoeness. I'm sure this exercise was merely to humiliate Boateng for his comments in the past

You guys missed UFC 232?

Jon Bones came back to decimate Gustaffson. And his post match call out of DC was just . Let's see if he's clean this time but DC has to be absolutely sick of this guy that just seems to have his number

codedguy1:

Where are you na. Please come and analyse the bludgeoning you received yesterday.

Firmino don give am Warapa. Don't expect that prolapsed anus here till the New Year at the very least

airmark:
Was Monhegladbach your last match? You would have lost your money, ode.

Hummels played against Leipzig and Hannover, Boathand was benched. Clean sheets.



Boathand was begging to remain at bayern, even when he was surplus to requirements. He knew he would be quickly exposed in united, he chickened out. Now everybody is avoiding him like a plague, na to put am for amazon remain, free shipment.

Boateng was begging to remain at Bayern or Rummenigge refused to sell him. This guy it's like you're smoking agbo Jedi Jedi or something. If Rummenigge was serious about selling he would not put a high price tag on such a supposedly surplus player

Besides is it this same United wey dey struggle to enter top 4 wey player go wan go? Going to United will be a downgrade for Boateng

Lol when did Oladipo get to the Pacers? Calma calma. I doubt Oladipo had entered the league when Paul George started leading the Pacers to Conference Finals

raumdeuter:
He no get money to stake, I for impoverish am more

Bayerns last game on Dec 22 Hummels was benchedunlike what the apoda claimed

I remember the clown telling us Ancelotti would offload Boateng. Yet we all know who got offloaded first. He is the Akpororo of this thread. Let him keep entertaining us with awada

airmark:
Hummels started your last few matches, while they benched alagolo and suddenly you got clean sheets. A40 where are you?

Burnthisleaguedown team of the year below as rated by sofascore. Maybe na me own sofascore to have ignored alagolo and put Hummels. Una no know ball. Epl will roast these cvnnts though.

Sofascore? You for put Brazzers or Bangbros Bundesliga team of the year

raumdeuter:
I am for offloading both Hummels and Boateng

Pavard can back up the Right back and Lucas can back up the LB. Though Pavard hasnt been impressive this season but with 35M who can you get ?
Deligt has Raiola as agent and he probably has his eyes set on moneybag clubs

I can understand Atletico resisting the January move because it an derail their season. If they will agree to sell for 20M less we might just do a summer agreement

Possible but unlikely both Hummels and Boateng get offloaded in the same window. Personally I'd hold on to at least one of them unless we receive an offer too good to turn down.

For Pavard I guess with Rafinha's impending departure we would need a backup for Kimmich at RB. However €35m is too much for a guy likely to be a squad player.

€85m is too much for Lucas. I can't believe we are trying to fall this type of maga

€85m + €35m = €120m on the defense alone. And we have not considered one of Robbery at the very least is going to need replacing

Oso ni Bobo James Harden yi

John Wall out for the season

Time to Zanku

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mejHoo8vZzU

I don't know who has the sicker step back between Doncic and Harden

These Pacers are a unique team. Can't point to a star player this year but they have like 5 guys not named Victor Oladipo that can give you 15pts on any night.

Ibime:
Sarri said if Hazard won't decide his future, the club should decide for him.

I like this kind of talk. We should not allow one player use our future to play MMM.

Hehehehe

McCaw turned down guaranteed $5m for non-guaranteed $6m

Decale:
Can't blame em...


If it's not 2 starters injured, it's 3 and one bench player. Gentry can only do so much...

My blame for Gentry probably lies on their defense. They have been terrible on that end all season long regardless of who plays and who doesn't. For a team trying to get back in playoffs standings you can't be bleeding 115-120 points almost every night

Khanben:
True word. But klay's skill set tend to translate well even with age so it is still understandable giving him the max. For Draymond the only scenario where he is worth a max contract is for a lottery team. If its my decision, i will resign KD and Klay let go of green and Andre and go get a better bench with the money saved from both deals. with three Allstars GSW will still be the team to beat.

I don't think any body would want to pick up Iguodala's contract, though stranger things have happened

raumdeuter:
Regarding Lucas, I no go mind if we use one of Hummels, Boateng or Martinez as make weight for the deal, we need a young defender Everyone don put eye for Deligt body.

Deligt is 19 Lucas is 22. I think a defender who grew up in Simeone's school might have the advantage defensively. The advantage of Pavard is that he can deputize Kimmich at Right back if we sell Rafinha who is already 33.

Our defence line might just be Kimmich Pavard Sule, Lucas and Alaba. All around or below 25yrs

We have a Lukas Mai in the youth team

I doubt Atleti would accept any makeweight. A lot of newspaper outlets even in Spain say a deal is on in the summer. Let's see how it goes. There is no way we get Lucas and Pavard though without offloading one of Hummels or Boateng

raumdeuter:
I personally believe Harvetz will be better than James. He just needs 1-2 seasons to mature more

Werner is not really a top striker candidate for me but a winger. He has pace but he is still struggling with his decision making, finishing and might have a problem with teams that bunker. maybe when he grows older he can transition into a CF.

Reading this paragraph above, dont you think that would have been a perfect description for Salah 2years ago?
I heard Klopp is looking at Werner and if he goes to Anfield, he will turn to another Salah

I see him following the trajectory of Suarez though less skillful but faster than Suarez. from a support striker to a 9 as he gets older to replac Lewandoski

With the way Gnabry and Coman get injured and with Comans recent interview about retiring if he gets injured again, I don dey comot mind for am and we need a replacement

With Mourinhos sack, chances of getting Martial is slim, Sane improved form for City makes him harder to get. Who are the wingers left Pepe, Thauvin, Fekir all have some comma

I see that opportunistic streak and mobility of Müller in him. I don't know if he is as technically gifted as Hames hence my reluctance to compare.

For Werner I just have not been impressed with him for a while. He is still young and perhaps has simply stalled at RB Leipzig

Lol omo players like Salah don't come around often. There's no guarantee he would fit in a possession side like Bayern. It is possible he does shine under Klopp's system and underperforms at ours as we found out with Götze and as Werner seemed to do at the WC.

As for Coman I heard he had a crash a few days back or something like that. I worry about his mentality because guys like Robben and Ribery as much as they were permacrocks you knew mentally they were made of steel. I'm not getting that vibe from Coman

Roland17:
Lebron continues to blatantly break the NBA tampering rules and Adam Silver is turning a blind eye as he ridicules the entire league. After the game against the Pelicans on Friday, Bron had dinner with Davies. Come on man!!! This is becoming shameful, I mean even if the Celtics lose the sweepstakes but to allow one player to get away with so much is disrespectful.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/sources-lebron-james-anthony-davis-meet-postgame-dinner-lakers-appear-drivers-seat-pair-stars-151124669.html

Standard behavior. You know the league won't mess with it's Golden goose

The Pelicans have been the biggest disappointment this season.

I can see the Suns feasting on these weak Eastern Conference teams. With Booker and Warren I don't know how they allowed their record plunge to this depth before starting to play with some purpose

Manutd19:
Trade Draymond. Dude not fit to be called an all-star.

I think it's just down to the era we are in that everyone wants to be collecting max. Good as Draymond might be in the end he is still a role player. Nobody would have suggested a Bruce Bowen or Dennis Rodman should be paid max. It wouldn't even be a discussion

Adiwana:
1.Am not confusing radio hits with collaboration.You are highly confusing Me throwing in Drake into the mix by linking it to radio hits so let me drop Drake out of the question

You're the one that brought Drake into the argument. Suggesting commercial appeal is the reason artistes choose to go into collaboration. I've showed you multiple instances where that is not the case. At least dropping Drake tells me you have realised the error in your argument

Adiwana:
As I said,Nas rarely did collaborations.He even said it i think in one of his tracks in It was written.In fact the only people he well did collaborations with was AZ and Mobb Depp.i can thrown in Foxy Brown but those were the people who appeared on his projects and who he appeared on their projects.Technically speaking,East Coast Artists were the people who he collaborated with most.Even at that he barely worked with people aside guys in the affirmative action group.Thats just his personality as an artist.

This is not a knock on Jay Z that Nas chooses to be a lyrical hermit. My point remains that in the past, present and even future Jay Z has commanded more guest appearances. Even among critically good rappers now, most would prefer a Jay Z verse on their track than a Nas verse. Jay Z ticks all the boxes without compromising the quality of the rap

Adiwana:
Jay has a song with Eminem but Nas is yet to collaborate with Eminem.Nas at StIIllmatic couldve easily worked with Eminem and that wouldve been ground shattering in hiphop.2002 was ether and Eminem putting The Source magazine out of business,dissing everybody and dominating the hiphop scene.

Again this proves nothing aside Nas being a lyrical hermit. Jay Z on the other hand was able to leave his comfort zone as an MC and work with other rappers. It's why he could write a song like Still Dre and you would not believe ab initio because it sounds like what a West coast MC would conjure. I don't see why a rapper should get credit for refusing to work with his contemporaries especially when the person he is being compared with is doing it and doing it exceptionally

Adiwana:
If I was to go by the Mc wanting you on their records,then mf doom wouldve appeared on tons of records.And don't even go with the his an underground rapper narrative.Hes a well respected figure in hiphop but I can't even name a song he's done with any A list rapper.Some rappers just want to make music for their fan bases and do not care what happens outside.A perfect example is J Cole who's following Nas footsteps.Work with my inner circles,put out music for my fan Base and don't care what happens after

You are still dancing Zanku around the point. If you opt not to work with your contemporaries and you're in a dead heat with someone at your lyrical level that does and is still doing at a high level 2 decades later, then you can't tell me the latter rapper does not have an advantage

Adiwana:
2.Its not Rocket science that most websites and critics rate Illmatic higher than Reasonable Doubt.I could easily post screenshot but that will be unnecessary.This is link by complex https://www.complex.com/music/2012/11/the-50-greatest-debut-albums-in-hip-hop-history/dr-dre-the-chronic?utm_source=google&utm_campaign=referral_google_amp&utm_medium=organic

Lists would forever be subjective. Rolling Stones has Illmatic at 18th and Reasonable Doubt at 9th. We all have our defacto favorite albums but claiming Reasonable Doubt is not comparable to Illmatic is dangerously laughable

Adiwana:
Reasonable Doubt had Dead Presidents as second lead single and Nas declined the offer to appear on the track which is testimony to my earlier assertion that he hardly collabortated and also pointed out your own assertion that having an Mc on your track was an honor.He declined that honor .Illmatic has been inducted into Harvards Museum by 9th wonder something Reasonable Doubt is yet attain.Albums inducted are albums that have an impact and I have already mentioned the albums inducted

Which goes back to my argument. If Nas consistently refuses to honor guest invites and then another rapper does and shines at it you can't hold it against that rapper. And in the year of our Lord 2018 I'm pretty sure most rappers would prefer a Jay verse to a Nas verse which speaks to his relevance

As for the Harvard induction that is immaterial. 9th Wonder is one individual who borderline probably selected his favorite albums

https://country.iheart.com/content/2017-02-22-jay-z-becomes-first-rapper-inducted-into-the-songwriters-hall-of-fame/

This is Jay Z being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. First rapper to ever achieve this feat. So bone that impact talk.

Adiwana:
3.Eminem has been thrash for years now and has dropped mediocre albums over the span of 4 albums or so.What did MGK,Joe Budden use to diss him.Dropped one of the worst albums in Revival ever in Hiphop.He even admitted that Revival was thrash in his last album.Hes last album was the only good album he's dropped in more than a decade.I can as well call him thrash because of how he went from Killing Jay on his own track to having Ed sheeran sing for him to rack his numbers up

This is my point. You can't say you're greater than someone when the person has a better body of work than you do. Kamikaze was a rubbish album as well btw

My stance has always been consistent. Over the span of their rap careers whether Eminem or Nas there is no rapper out there that has a better overall body of work than Jay Z. Simple and short

Adiwana:
5.Pac lived his rap,had more influence and that why he is being revered higher than BIG not volume.You are missing the key point which is INFLUENCE.No other artist was influential more than Pac.Hes lyrics were average at best,he's beat selections were good but not great,Biggie had better flow and rythm but Pac was a complete artist in every form.Many people can't even name Michael Jacksons albums apart from thriller despite having a large volume of work.BAD was the only better album he had after thriller,every other just had one or two classic songs and that was it..I might as well call him thrash cause his classics didn't match his volume of work and he had only one album that really stands out from the pack.Dude wasn't just an artist that puts out anything,but influenced and inspired the music he produced.Thats why many consider him the greatest artist of all time.Same with Pac.Pac's work were solid but nobody rates him higher because of how voluminous and solid his works were.He just had that energy more than ever other artist

How did Pac generate the influence if not volume? Do you know how many hits he had? How can you not see that part of 2Pac's aura was his work after he died?

I don't even understand your argument. How does it apply to Nas? Did he churn out hits like MJ?

I'm telling you that Jay Z ticks every box! Whether album oh whether it's hits oh. Nobody has as many #1 efforts. There is nothing on this list Nas has more than Jay Z so your Michael Jackson example is a bit confusing. I don't see why you are comparing Rap to Pop. Especially when creating classics is not exactly a Pop edict. There's a reason it's called Pop

Adiwana:
6.Am not going to talk about Lauryn because is not really the point of discussion but please don't mention her and Drake in the same sentence.Drake Versatile??lol

Drake is not my cup of tea but questioning his versatility is laughable. He's a talented cat

Adiwana:
7.Hes always been a poet and artists ought to evolve in their rap.Jay went from rapping About growing up as a drug dealer,bragging about fvcking Nas Baby momma in his car to rapping about his wife Beyonce forgiving him for cheating in The Carters album.lmao.Early 2000s he won't have dared putting out a music apologising to a woman or he wouldve seen hundreds of diss and sublims coming his way from Nas himself to Mobb deep to the entire East Coast.But now he can do it and nobody will care because of evolution of rap.As I already said,artist evolve and as a poet it's part of the story telling irrespective of whether his pops was a jazz artist or not

My point is Nas switched to that genre of rap because that was the fashionable style at the time. This goes against your originality claim. Like nigga you never sold aspirin how are you Escobar?

I don't quite get the correlation between Jay rapping based on real life events to someone switching his whole rap persona based on the fact that that rap style was what was hot at the time. Stop comparing two completely contrasting events

One evolved organically and with authenticity the other (Nas) didn't.

Adiwana:
1.Wrong.Demand for verses doesn't in any way indicate respect from your peers.Drake is a highly demanded artist because of the buzz he brings.Any song he touches goes gold and its mostly certainly going to get radio plays,streams etc unlike Kendrick Lamar who doesn't have that commercial appeal.Eminem can never "respect" Drake because of issues surrounding his ghost writing which to Eminem and true hiphop fans,that once ghost writing comes into play in the life of an Mc,he's respect is automatically over..

Lool you're confusing radio hits for collaboration. This is an awful take! Back in the 90's it was a massive sign of respect to have another rapper come and guest rap on your track. Wu-Tang did it with Nas and there are numerous other examples I can bring. Jay also wanted to get a verse from Nas at a point. Stop using the Drake example! It's a terrible one and doesn't tally
at all.

Adiwana:
Nas even said in one of his songs that he rarely does collaboration.Him doing it now is just a statement of him moving out of that shell.Same thing J.cole is doing now

Any credible MC wanting you on their track is a sign of respect. Especially on tracks that aren't going to necessarily become chart topping singles.

Adiwana:
2. The Chronic was a classic but Illmatic was the first ever certified classic.Following your logic,Straight out of Compton,36 chambers are classics of nheir own and came out way before Illmatic. Illmatic has been the bench mark till date on whether any album is to be certified a classic or not.No Jay's album has ever done that.Comparing Reasonable Doubt to Illmatic??Comon bro,you may not like Nas but that doesn't mean you don't have to speak facts when you see one

Certified by who? The UN? There were loads of classic albums dropped before Illmatic abeg. Stop spreading this myth and urban legend. You're not talking to a rookie in this rap matter. Like I said art is subjective but saying Reasonable Doubt shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as Illmatic is sensationalist fallacy.

Adiwana:
Using your Logic,one would say Eminem is trash based on the number of Classics to number of trash albums he's released over the years.Pac and BIG had what,2 classics between them??

Nobody said Eminem is trash. However when I see an artist make 4 good albums I'd take that artiste over one that makes 1 great album and 3 mediocre ones. You can't make a GOAT debate without volume. Lol BIG had just two albums. Bad example. Pac and Biggie will always get a pass based on what they did over such a short time

Adiwana:
Hiphop doesn't judge based on body of work throughout your whole career.Wu Tang had one classic in 36 chambers,Run Dmc had "Run Dmc",Pac had All eyes on Me,Nas himself has Illmatic and a host of other MCs had only one classic or max of 2 and in hiphop,one body of work is deemed great to put you into the G.O.A.T conversation.Eminem is the best selling Mc ever,has been hugely successful but most people don't even have him in their top 5,me included because it's not by how successful but Impact you had to the genre.Hes had a huge impact,but none of his album comes close to giving that impact Illmatic had

We are talking of individual rappers and you're talking of collectives. Na wa oh! How many albums does the average rap group drop?

Pac had volume! Why do you think he is so revered and for so long niggas thought he was still alive? Cos he kept dropping solid work from the other side! It's why a lot of people rate him above Biggie despite Biggie being arguably the more naturally gifted rapper.

One body of work can never be enough to be ranked amongst the GOATs barring extraordinary circumstances like premature demise

Adiwana:
As i said it all depends on what you are looking at while judging an Mc,but Lauryn had The fugees and out rapped both Pras and Wyclef jean.If you listen to The score album,she was the bedrock of the album from intro to the outro.Technically,she had only 2 successful albums but name me a female artist that has a better body work than Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill then I will not consider her the greatest female Mc.

How hard can it be to outrap Pras and Wyclef? Lmaooo!!
I don't consider Lauryn Hill the best rapper of her generation sef. Foxy and Lil Kim held their own with men and you're mentioning Lauryn Hill. Foxy was bussing with Jay Z, Nas and AZ FFS

Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was not a pure rap album. What Lauryn Hill had to her advantage was her versatility. She's kinda like what Drake is now. As far as pure mic skills though either of Foxy or Lil Kim would have her head on a spike

Adiwana:
Note that only TPAB,Illmatic,Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Low End theory are the only hiphop albums in Harvards library and its no coincidence that Reasonable Doubt or no Jay Album is there.

That one is not my business. This doesn't make you a better rapper

Adiwana:
3.Not lies.Nas said in ether "Even Eminem murdered you need your own shit" which Jay himself admitted that Eminem out rapped him on renegade.Even j cole rapped in Villuminati that he used to say "Bleep Jay z".A popular phrase that was coined by Nas himself.

This one you're saying is still irrelevant to the subject matter at hand. I don't recall anyone disputing Nas winning the beef. My own point is over the duration of their careers Jay Z has put out better work. People that rate Pac over Biggie don't rate him that way because of Hit em up alone. They consider other songs he put out over his career. This is so for every sphere of human endeavor

Adiwana:
4.If you have been following hiphop religiously,you can't overlook that.Its just like PAC rapping over a BIG chorus not as a diss song but as an actual single.He would be crowned hard and his respect ultimately going low

It's a sample! Everybody was sampling in the 90's! Even your Nas. Biggie's first track on Ready to Die was a Dr Dre sample. Lool abeg tell this one to people that don't know Rap history not me

Adiwana:
On the Nas Escobar thing,Nas has always associated himself as someone who grew up selling drugs and being influenced by top drop dealers such as Tony Montana and Escobar himself.Its not something new

Lmaooo Story for the gods. Everyone knew that Nas switched demeanor from poet to overnight drug dealer. Did a complete 180 just to jump on the mafioso rap bandwagon. He was not about that life ab initio. His old man was a jazz musician
