Come on no true competitive psycho is retiring when they still prove they can play at a high level.

If Giselle really loves that man she would let him play another year of football. We're talking 5 months tops. If she wanted a man that would be up under her 24/7 she should have married Rodrigo the pool boy.

Gotta agree here. No one wants that feeling that maybe you could have done more in your career. If Brady feels like he can get one more, let him.

Buuut, Gisele is also within her rights to be selfish and insist its time to go vacationing and see the world. That is part of marriage, old school or new school, your partner has some rights on your waka. I hope they work it out, but then, they have another 40 years, assuming good health to do other fun stuff. If you love the man, let him sunset with satisfaction.

Ohanian is probably not too happy about Serena's attempted comeback, because all that extra practice time must have taken away from family time, no way around it. But sometimes, you gotta hold off and let your partner go for it. Better that than a partner that resents you in old age.

where is smooshchn btw. now that I think of it, I have seen him sparingly this offseason. bro wey you na

In the last 20 years, The Warriors have pulled the most ratings in the NBA finals.

Fairenough, we can disagree on how much we all hate you

But those stats dont show anything about warriors. I think we are seeing a return to normal after the covid slump. I expect this year to be even higher

where’s my invite?

did you change your email?

I sent invites out for Nairaleague! If anyone else want to join, please ping me. We will try and have 12 participants this year. I believe the league is that deep. If you dont get it, please ping me. I will also try and reach out to everyone individually

Roland17:
And who is debating the Celtics were the better team? Are you arguing with yourself or interpreting things for your convenience and pleasure? The Warriors were favorites going into the series for a reason. If you have played competitive sports and watched the Eastern conference series, you will not type your last sentence.

I think this warriors ring is the most uncelebrated championship I have ever seen. Outside of warriors fans, no one cared. Not even sports news.
Warriors fans still roaming about 3 months later trying to settle imaginary scores is laughable.

Chai, �seriously una must hear am!

yee! yeeee!

bros send me your email so I can send you an invite lol

This is going to be an interesting season. I dont think anyone can reliably predict the favorites to come out of the East or West

Khanben:
PS: IMHO there can be such a thing, as too much young talent on a team and OKC is heading there.

I think they are already there? Didnt lack of play time factor into Harden heading to the Rockets. OKC could find itself in the same scenario again.

Rockets tried to pick complementary pieces, and even let some young talent go. And it still is a head scratcher how our young pieces will fit into a team that can make the playoffs in the west, and at the same time give them all enough play time.

A40:
I have a sneaky suspicion Westbrook is going to get traded. Likely to Indy or some other team but I can't seem to shake it.

Durant and Kyrie have monopolized this summers news cycle. Still, its unusually quiet in lakerland. Maybe they are all watching bronny

Khanben:
The thing is, his injury just put them back into the Victor Wayembama sweep stakes, because I think they now have a good excuse to tank again this upcoming season.

They have a reason to tank every season. I felt like Chet was going to be a bust anyhow. Perhaps this is just karma? aliondo should just suit up if he feels so aggrieved

Killrhymz01:
Some folks still won’t playoffs

And some folks will go from head of household to being voted out, in one week

KNIGHTBlaed:

Birdman, when be draft na?

Comping up. Season starts Oct 18, so we open up first week of Sept to give like a month for sign ups

KD has finally come to his senses. Brooklyn have a squad. Don't know what he was looking for upandan

Happy posthumous birthday to the Mamba. Salud

benji93:
What the female gender wants is to be at the same level as the men. .

To be honest, I think this would be terrible for society. We need more feminine energy in society, not less. Most of the shootings, robbery and assaults and r*pe are men. Like 80% ish. What we really need is women doing things the feminine way and getting paid equivalently. Wether doctor, or model or whatever. There should be no reason to consider MMA a better sport than a beauty contest. You like what you like! Thats why even the women MMA fights, Im not a fan. It feels more like violence p0rn than anything else. I saw one the other day, wey dem panel beat this woman's face like 1980s Peugot 504 . Ha! What kind of society thinks those kinds of depictions of women are ok?

But hey, thats just me. Where is ewuro4 btw. Come and chime in pls

Roland17, why u quiet now? lol

Roland17:
The WNBA have a lot of work to do in making this league more marketable. I know I have talked about this in the past and nothing as far as the level of play has changed. Maybe I am expecting too much but for what they are demanding, they absolutely have to raise their game.

Fundamentally, sports is a guy thing more than girl thing. Women have other entertainment options besides watching 5 grown men or women putting a ball in the basket. Wether people want to be politically correct or not, women still gravitate more towards other kinds of recreation. So womens sports like bball, soccer, etc will never be on par in terms of money. This is not a bad thing in itself.

joephemzyz:
HahHaha sure guy! Thanks heaps.
I dey okay o.
How this year fantasy go na, who win?

Na knightfury o. killrhymz was the team to beat all season, but the finals was the mother of all surprises.The way knightfury take flog am, ha! I have not seen or heard from killrhymz since then. E shock am, bro neva recover

Even smooshchn chop unmerited beating

I kukuma didnt make the playoffs

A40:
You're not getting my own point. Nobody said he had to be a great defensive coach. In the NBA the truth is the game is 80% talent and 20% coaching. Don Nelson never had enough to be a title winning coach.

Even D'Antoni if we want to be honest has never had enough to win a title.

The difference is they had a style and D'Antoni came the closest of all to beating a fully loaded 2017 Warriors team. With a team that honestly had no business doing so.

Those guys had a philosophy which the likes of Kerr copied and fine tuned. Having generational shooters like Steph and Klay also helped. My issue with Nash is they're not playing with any philosophy on offense or defense. They lack identity

I understand you perfectly. My point is neither of those coaches is the type that instills discipline in players. And neither of them look like the type that mentors others to be great coaches. For example, if Nash had played for Larry Brown, there is no way you come out of that system and not have some Larry Brown type discipline instilled in you.

A40:
A guy like Steve Nash who's a HOF PG should not be deficient in X's and O's and caught lacking this badly. He played for years under Don Nelson and Mike D'Antoni ffs. Can you imagine a guy like Nick Nurse with this Nets squad? Even with the guys they've added once they get a serviceable big this is a championship caliber roster.

When I saw the coaches you mentioned, I started laughing

Don Nelson is an HOF coach, but absolutely no discipline when it comes to defense. He was called mad genius for a reason. Even his offensive schemes were crazy.

As far as Im concerned, the only reason Dantoni is still a coach in the NBA is hand check rules. At best this guy is an assistant coach, an offensive coordinator if you will. At one point the guy benched Gasol in favor of small ball

joephemzyz:
Hello hoop fam!

Hei! My mind reach your side just last week sef. Hope you dey kampe?

No worry, we dey Buhari matter, we go flog am for you

Khanben:
If their problem was shooting 3s that would even be better. Their offense is so static, it's just KD and Kyrie taking turns, which makes it very easy for good defenses to key in on them because they are simply predictable.

I cannot ever remember a play drawn up to give Kyrie or KD easy looks. Ever

A40:
Come on man. Nash and KD were together in Golden State nau

True, but Nash was an advisor. Not even an assistant coach as I remember it. Why would you build a championship team on a coach with no experience? But like android22 alluded to, these guys think too much of themselves. Somehow they thought individual skill would win regardless of coach. They prolly picked Nash because he is a nice guy. No accountability on defense. Just shoot 3s all day.

felix00:
News out there is that Durant is interested in playing with Harden again

Naah. No, it better not be true

Android22:
I have experienced KD in his time with GSW and he coaxes the journalists who want to have tier 1 gist on him to be revisionist. Is it not funny that KD seems to have a better relationship with Draymond who was instrumental to his leaving GSW than Curry who pretty much babied him and gave him the key to the team? Did this same cupcake not try to undermine Steve Kerr after he left? Did he not try to claim he was never really accepted at the Bay even when they were always calling his name last on the roster - after Curry's.

I cant argue with this. He does go back and forth, and then try to pretend like he didnt do nothing. He has contradicted himself several times

Android22:
Harden was not there at the time. Besides, DeAndre Jordan, Harden were all products of KDs approvals and outright demands in Brooklyn so it will be hard to convince anyone that he was indifferent about Nash even when Atkinson (that KD did not play for and still made the playoffs without him or Kyrie in 2019-20) was fired whilst KD was rehabbing. Very hard sell this one.

We have to peep these rumors. That how they made it sound like Harden and Durant are now sworn enemies. Until we saw them balling at a concert like last weekend or so

In this case, I highly doubt Durant chose Nash. For the simple reason Nash was not even a coach in the NBA when KD was coming to Nets, and had no coaching experience even as assistant coach. Of all the coaches he could have chosen, why would he choose Nash, a player with no coaching credential? With whom he has no relationship with? E no make sense.

Nash is all front office. The players didnt mind because they thought their star power would overcome in any case. It is now obvious Nash should not be coaching in the NBA.

Android22:
Steve Nash was hired because of KD. I wonder why people are still pampering a player that has no advantage in this negotiation.

where did you get this from. They got an OK from KD, Harden and Kyrie, but Steve Nash was brought in by the owners

felix00:
KD gives the Net an ultimatum. It's either him or the GM sean marks and Steve Nash

Nash sucks, but KD is going about this wrong, burning all kinds of bridges. If he doesnt get traded that locker room will be very awkward. Way to ruin a career.

I have been preparing myself for this day. Every time I see him at NBA meets, I know its only a matter of time. The way he would smile and be chill with everyone, you could tell this was an elder that been there, done that, seen it all.

The man lived well. I am glad he lived long enough to see what the NBA became. To see the first black president. What a life!

Khanben:
The Cavs are offering 3yr/40mil to Sexton, that's what injury can do to a players value. Always secure the bag as soon as possible.

Sexton has never been highly ranked. At best, a streaky shooter. And he doesnt know how to spell defense
