cococandy: What will he gain? 1) hoping to sway third party votes to his side 2) More voter suppression tactics from his followers. 3) Harassment at polling booths of others who aren’t republican. 4) prepping for his inevitable loss so that when he loses he’ll claim they tried to kill him but failed to do instead, they rigged him out
The list is endless
Swaying
What and who needs to be swayed? Everyone's pocket is going to determine. If Biden's 4 years have been favorable to you why will you need swaying to vote for Trump
Trump has even been more quiet and tame in this election run so far. Biden is making his job easy for him.
Lol. Of everybody I don follow talk it's only black women, your demographic that are interested in Biden. Everyone else wants the man out of there. Even the ones that hate Trump say they're absolutely not voting Biden and would rather not vote at all.
Trump does not need to put his life at risk for an election he will most likely win regardless
iamoyindamola: No gunshot wound, the injury was from when he was being led to the ground Is that not what news outlet are saying Unless an amateur sniper missed a shot the distance of head to the ear is far away
Someone died. You people are sounding like those Ronu people when that Dr was shot on the train
Roland17: “It is so many guys that can take the last spot or whatever”
I saw it and to be honest I did not read much into it from Tatum’s perspective as many are. The media continue to push these divisive narrative between both. JT looked uncomfortable and either way he was going to edge a team mate. JT is no longer a kid in the league, he should have expected that question off the bat, Infact anytime he appears or takes questions.
JB’s snub is a shame and indictment on USA basketball and the NBA to a little extent. This isn’t necessarily because he is the Finals MVP but because he played his soul out and should be there. However, there is more that. Nike is heavily involved with USA basketball and JB’s history hasn’t been great with them. I don’t think he has a shoe deal since Adidas but does have offers outside of Nike.
JT has shoe lines with Jordan (Nike) and as a young chap he has to be careful with his language. If you ask me, I think JT has had a private conversation with JB about the snub, and doesn’t have to admit it in public, at least that is what I expect and strongly believe has happened.
The media has been doing this since they got drafted. As Finals MVP, JB shouldn’t be considered for the final spot which is what White took. The final spot is probably not going to get a lot of court minutes . Kawhi has no business being there if you ask me but Nike wants the name and the revenue that it generates.
Lol. Guy. Those two are not boys. And to be honest I have no issues with it. It's better we know now than we alarmingly came to find out with MJ and Pippin
That's just not the response you give to your partner in crime not being called to the team. They've been teammates for 7 years.
There's something there. Maybe mutual jealousy even. Their personality can be such to where it never gets overt but camaaan
There's a few whispers or whispering about JB and his SJW/Woke tendencies that have got him a bad rap in the past. JT is the more commercially acceptable less polarizing guy and so he gets pushed front and center more
Kawhi is not that big of a star compared to Bron, KD and Steph. I can actually make a basketball excuse for why JB wasn't taken. There's more need for a Derrick White than a Jaylen Brown. Especially considering Olympic ball is different.
birdman: He does see the game. An SG that can play lockdown D is a valuable asset, but that SG has to have a reliable shot to even smell the floor in today's game. Lets see if the game starts to slow down for him, he needs more scoring output for all that D to make sense.
I'm being as neutral as I can be.
The defending is the only thing he does at a passable level. And at that one will also have to factor the caliber of opposition in summer league and his lack of size (which for whatever reason he didn't inherit)
They say he can be a 3 and D guy but how is that possible? The kid cannot shoot
Did you see video of Cooper Flagg with the Olympic team. That should give you a hint of just how much behind the 8ball Bronny is.
LeNomad will have to at some point decide if just being on an NBA floor with the kid is his priority or does he want the boy to have an actual basketball career
airmark: 1 goal in 6 matches, is poor for striker playing among exciting attackers in Spain. But you are blind to figure that out.
Is it your boss, Raumdeuter, that taught you to rate a defender by number of assists and goals he scored? Only God knows the huge volume of nonsense Dayo has imparted in you.
You're suffering from River blindness either that or you're obtuse else you would see me asking you to explain why Cucurella has not kept a clean sheet in the knockout stage
So what's Cucurella's strong point. Tell us you abominable shithouse
Can't prevent the other team from scoring Can't contribute to his team scoring
So explain your felchin of him and what makes him worth rating. Airwerey
airmark: Morata never played any match to put him as a contender for MOTM award. That's enough to tell you who the coach may bench between him and Cucurella, who has been impressive for Spain, such that Grimaldo was getting benched.
Cucurella should make the best XI of the tournament, it will be shocking if Morata breaks into the list.
I won't be surprised if Rodri has more shots at goal than your spineless striker, with 1 goal in 6 matches.
Which one is contender for MOTM. Airwerey
Oya tell us which game did Cucurella win MOTM?
What is special about Cucurella that you keep felchin? He's not keeping clean sheets, scoring nor assisting. At least Morata has done those
bisqit: He doesnt play like roberto carlos. He's just a peripheral player in that Spain team. The players pulling the strings are Ruiz, rodri, yamal, nico and carvayash
Don't mind the lunatic Airwerey.
Spain have kept no clean sheet in the knockout stage. He almost gave away a PK as well
birdman: Me Im an optimist, Im hoping the lad proves everyone wrong. But the look on his face, first summer league game, guy man looks like he is in way over his head. At the very least he needs to stop overthinking, avoid all social media and control what he can, namely his own game and how much he learns.To be in the NBA is an achievement anyhow you look at it, and it can never be taken away from him. Make the best of it. Easier said than done though, the pressure is huge right now. I hope Bronny is off social media for his mental healths sake!
The thing about this kid, and I guess you can question the quality of opposition or what not is that he seems like a solid defender. I was impressed by his lateral movement and positioning
I wonder why they were pissed at Rachel Nichols. Her analysis of him was about spot on. If he's even half as good as Marcus Smart they should be grateful cos his offense is awful, he's not someone that strikes me as a player that would ever be a good scorer.
airmark: This would have made sense had Morata done a Watkins for Spain in any of Spain's knockout matches. Morata that Cucurella has outperformed in the team? If we are to pick top 8 performers in Spain's team, your spineless Morata won't make the list.
Ajakaja40 for a reason.
Morata made an important contribution and had an assist in the semis. Airwerey
Your cucurucku 0 assists, zero goal contributions in the entire tournament. 0 clean sheets in the knockout stage. And nearly gave away a penalty against Germany
Anyway between all your retarded gorilla babble guess who gets to lift the trophy first if Spain wins. Just take a wild guess
A40, choose your 'death'. By hanging or firing squad?
airmark: My two teams, France and Canada made it to the Semis today.
Raumdeuter in pains.
airmark: Timbros is not a true Chelsea fan. He is disguising. 😄
That's how he was defending that spineless Morata till he was bundled out of the team. He loves mediocre players, playing well below expectations. One day he will tell us his real team.
This nigga is clearly retarded and neurodivergent. Cucurucku can't win without Morata making you look like a fool. You can't even troll right. Doofus
Glimpsetv: A Nigerian lady has caused a stir online by posting a video of herself crying and expressing her desire to find a husband.
The woman, who said she is 39 years old, expressed her frustration with being single and her concern about soon entering menopause. Through her tears, she stated that she doesn't care what profession the man has, whether he is a wheelbarrow pusher, a beggar, or a conductor. She is ready to sponsor everything, including the wedding. She said, "Please come and marry me. I am tired of being single; I will sponsor the wedding."
She said, "I am tired of men coming into my life, having sex with me, and then leaving...........”
Khanben: Oga my point is that people were talking as if the 55th pick in the nba has never always been an after thought. For me Bronny was not a draft able prospect, but you know what I won't do is act as if the 55th pick was a big deal. Late 2nd round picks have never been considered assets in the nba, but people are talking as if the Lakers made such a huge investment on picking the kid. As an aside LeBrons pay cut whether we like it or not is the equivalent of his son's 1st 2 years payout. So in essence all the Lakers spent on the boy over the next two years is the 55th pick of a draft we have all been told was bereft of talent. If wish the kid all the best, but if the boy fails that is not a huge deal as far as I am concerned because nobody can name 10 or even 5 guys who were picked from 55th and under picks who have ever made it in the nba.
PS: Whether people celebrated or not, those guys still kept those positions and nothing happened.
Allow people talk whatever they want to talk and pushback on what they said. Their critique is not wrong and they are free to it
If Lebron's taking cuts so his undeserving pikin can remain on the team then why all this una argument since.
What is the average lifespan of a 55th round pick? Since you pointed out that we've never had 5 guys drafted that low that made it in the NBA then why are you surprised at the reaction to him getting the type of contract a player drafted that low got.
Did it occur to you that if 55th picks were getting 3year guaranteed deals with a 4th year team option there would be more 55th pick success stories
If he fails then it only proves he should never have been there in the first place. People are not haters for pointing this out
He's fair game so allow people express their opinions
birdman: this nepotism talk is going nowhere. the fact that we are even talking about it proves my earlier point. Lebron did a huge disservice to his son with this nonsense. Dude probably would have been picked higher. I know pops wants to play with his son, but surely not at the risk of your son's career. This was a terrible move tbh. Very selfish too.
Ive had time to sit on it, the only good reason I can see why a father would ensure his son falls to a lower oick so they can play together is if he believes his son wasnt that good to start with. This means the ONLY good reason I can see for Lakers drafting Bronny is nepotism. SOmeone convince me Im wrong pls
Nepotism is not even something we praise so I don't understand their yeye talking points
Thanasis is one of the most virally slandered NBA players for example. Jeannie Buss frequently gets cooked. Austin Rivers (who could actually play) When has society ever applauded nepo babies? So why should it start now
Everyone knows the boy is not good but we're supposed to keep pretending he is else we're some haters. Absolute madness
Khanben: Sports is unique? Since when? Lance stroll has a drive in F1 right now that everyone knows he doesn't deserve. Senna's son got a drive he definitely never deserved because of his surname. Thatanis is making bank with both the Bucks and Nike because of his surname. Bill Belicheck gave his son a coaching gig he had no idea of what to do, he then gave a defensive coordinator and a specials team coach joint offense coordinators because they were his boys. The Jets not only brought an offensive coordinator who is trash but also signed 3 players they didn't need because Aaron Rodgers asked for it. The Jaguars have a tight end on the roster whose only qualification is that he his the head coaches son So please pass me with that BS, that nepotism doesn't occur in sports. I have forgotten the seria A side that gave Gaddafi son a team slot , or the Chinese man that bought a football team and made sure his obese son played in it. Or are we forgetting Doc rivers giving his son a contract that no one else would have, even Pelinka only got the Lakers GM job because he was Kobe's guy. So I repeat in which universe was sports ever an exception to nepotism?
Again. You're quite terrible at drawing parallels. Lance Stroll is a competent driver that went through the grind. He was not rushed into the league like LeNepo.
Thanasis went through the grind. He was drafted. Bad example
Nothing consign me with your Belichick example. That's administrative position and irrelevant to the argument
And who the hell said nepotism doesn't happen in sports? Abi you don drink ogogoro ni. And are confused about what you're arguing about
You mentioned Gaddafi son and whoever but who was celebrating and making it a cute storyline? Who was celebrating Belichick or Pederson or Rodgers? Don't they get criticized and cooked? Don't sports shows drag Nathaniel Hackett everytime
Didn't Austin Rivers get shitted on forgetting he actually went to Duke and was a lottery pick on his own merit. Don't Bronsexuals insult Pelinka and question his merit everytime something goes wrong and refuse to give him credit when he does the right things?
You keep obfuscating the argument. Nobody is denying existence of nepotism. We're saying stop telling people to romanticize or not to criticize a player who they don't believe has earned his spot in the league. He can only silence critics with his play, that's it, so quit trying to shame anyone who's not impressed or enamored with this father/son storyline.
The same way undeserving products of nepotism are usually criticized is the same standard that should be maintained. You have told us your son is better than guys in the league while in HS. Time to show and prove
