Nihilist:
Was that dude a 'Naija guy' thougb? I heard he played for USA

Olajuwon is a proper Yoruba Boy. His Naija Accent still shines through even now when He speaks eventhough He has lived in the states(well and Jordan) for a while now. Yh played for the Dream Team in 1996 after He got His US pali a year earlier I think.

afrodoc2:
86 Celtics had a bit more balanced offensive firepower compared to the Bulls but they are front court heavy and not defensively versatile or athletic enough.
The Warriors would isolate and run The Chief and Kevin McHale ragged i think.

Yet again I think the Era thing comes into the equation. If we are going with the 80s or 90s era rules, I am picking the Celtics. With the current rules though, I'll probably pick the Warriors. The likes of Dennis Johnson and of course Larry were super clutch.

afrodoc2:
And you possibly the best sportsman Naija ever produced was a basketballer.....i think that was what got me into it.

The DREAM..... One of my sporting idols growing up and my Favourite Bball player of all time(Zeke is right after Him). I had Hakeem's Jersey from the ages of I think 4 right up until my teen years. Also Not only have I seen Him play live, also had the pleasure of meeting Him once. Great down to earth fella and yh quite Tall

afrodoc2:
I did not say they will hold him to ZERO nah. Same as KD is unusual for anybody to guard, you have to realize he too has never come against that amount of defensive talent before in his life. They will slow him down is what i said, make him work for his points and make him less efficient.
I actually agree somewhat with A40. I just believe old rules Bulls win easily and Warriors get no shot but with the new rules Warriors win but the Bulls still have a slim shot.

Fair enough. True the Bulls would present a different challenge to what He is currently facing right now. However the effectiveness of such scheme would largely depend on the era. For example using physicality as a way to stop KD in this era won't cut it. You'll just keep sending the fella to the free throw and we all know How good He is from that spot.

I totally agree with your last paragraph.

afrodoc2:
Yeah KD is an unbelievable asset. But Rodman and Pippen would slow him down a little, one takes him on the perimeter and the other in the post.
The 3 points would be an issue though but they arent getting those high percentages against the ball hawks on the Bulls.
It is a fun debate to have .

Rodman might slow him down a bit but forget it No one can Guard KD. Dude is pretty much a guard in a centre's body. Phenomenal player. I'm with A40 on this though. It depends on the rules they'll play under.

Another match up i'd like to see is this year's Golden state and the 1986 celtics.

1bkaye:
Look at this one. Mate I'm trying to look out for you, I'm good over here, they don't call me Buk Bat for nothing

This fella can go deep into injury time if need be. However since it's you, I need not worry. Buk Bat the 1 minute woman

airmark:
Yes boathand wouldn't allow his name or that of any other bayern defender to appear. Meanwhile i cant wait to see you in ac milan colours below.

Nah The Tank does not need those awards. He is quite happy with his Worldcup and CL medals.

If you see a deliciously handsome and striking chocolate brother rocking the Milan Jersey on the streets of London, that's me

1bkaye:
Just 1? Old man

Haha ... If you last more than 1 round before tapping out, i'll give all my pension money

airmark:
Decent list. I thought i would see busquets and boathand on that list. Where is chic2pimp? I saw his team's next season's jersey, they look nice.

Wetin Chic2pimp do?.....I also did not see Hummel's name and Chiellini's name on that list so no wahala. It sure does look nice. I am getting one soon.

1bkaye:

Oya let's play one set in my bedroom

bykebyke:
Sneijder wasn't even the best Inter Milan player that year.

It would have been too close to call and Ronaldo wasn't taking that chance.

Ofcourse He was. He was the architect behind most of their best plays plus He was highly instrumental in getting the dutch to the Worldcup Finals.

Nah He had it already sown up abeg

bykebyke:
He's lowkey a fraud in finals being saved by his teammates.

Two goals and the MOTM award winner dropped a measly 2/10 award? . BykeBykeBykeBykeByke nah u biko

1bkaye:
Lool I always find it difficult to answer this question because I don't ever do anything

Hmm, videogames, reading, table tennis, sleeping

You fit play table tennis so?

bykebyke:
Yes...but he wanted to be certain and was leaving no chances.

A Portugal loss would have been damaging and Griezmann talks were hotting up then.


If France had won,it would have been too close to call between him and Griezmann..


After all Griezmann had the tournament Ronaldo fans think Ronaldo had.

Nah the Griezman arguement was only hotting up NL. You think FIFA Balon D'or voters would have voted Antoine above Ronaldo? You must be a joker . It would have been like 2010 all over again. Messi being selected ahead of Sneijder.

bykebyke:
A Euro loss would be the recent memory people had of him.


Hence him faking that injury.

He just had to make sure it stayed sown up.

Your own no get part 2 wahlai .....As soon as Portugal got the semis even without winning a game in 90 minutes, the "stayed sown up" bit was already done

bykebyke:
25minutes...LOL.

After which he faked an injury in case Portugal loses so his Ballon D'or chances would still be high.

But He had that award all but sown up when He won the CL with Madrid.

bykebyke:
Scary to think the only argument for Ronaldo being better than Messi is his country winning a game he didn't play.

He played nah. He just didn't finish the game.

Ibime:
So you dey cycle dey type? No jam any pedestrian oh before they label you "suspect armed with dangerous bicycle".

Hahahaahahahahahahaha my belle ... With the kain rain and wind we dey experience I no fit do am.

Man southwark bridge road is chock-a-block full of Journalists.

Funlord2:
If one of them comes here now he will find a way to remix some verses out of them holy books to suit his narrative based on what one Santa Klaus beard sporting _moron told them in anger on a Friday afternoon! The boys dad has disowned him anyway. The embarrassment was too much! Most of the family act as if he does not exist!

Man this is just sad. If a Lad from such a good and loving home can get indoctrinated, what chance has your average northerner got?

1bkaye:
Mehn, me sef, there are old acquaintances of mine that have become radicalised whose faces I won't be surprised to see on my screen one of these days.

Why am i not surprised? Uni or college acquaintances? It's becoming ridiculous. All you need to do is go to a mosque where one of these radical imams preach their hate sermons and boom you are balls deep in it. Sad really.

Ibime:
Hahahaha. Woodhouse was where the smart kids went. Your pops definitely made the right choice cos Barnet College killed a lot of dreams. When I enter North London, I no know road, I just go register for Barnet one time.

Woodhouse boys used to travel to Barnet for rap battle back in my day. There were 3 boys like that that always come looking for me at Barnet almost every month after writing and practising their raps, and I always sent them back to Woodhouse to practice some more.

Mate I can't thank woodhouse enough. If not for them, lawd knows what Uni I would have attended. UEL perharps. Nah for woodhouse I know there is a difference between "smart" and "SMART". At least 10 dudes in my set went oxbridge. And a few others attended ivy league unis in the states. We also had a few spoilt rich kids too. Man you definitely chose wrong. Had you picked woodhouse, nah LSE you for go. Even average Woody students got accepted into top 15 universities.


Hahahahahahahahaha so you were one of those boys that used to come and disturb our peace in the common room back in the days shey?

Ibime:
I go Wood Street which you might have being a Tottenham boy. My picture was on the wall sef for many years after for achieving good A-Levels (by Barnet standard) so maybe you might have even seen my picture.

I attended woodhouse college but woodstreet was like my second college. Should have gone there but Popsey no gree. Would probably have i'm sure.

[quote author=Ibime post=57213426]If they have not arrested people that carry ISIS black flag to Hyde Park and display themselves openly, of what use is me showing them Watsapp conversations that this person or that person might be a supporter of ISIS.

Nothing vex me pass this one. As I keep saying they can shove the Human Rights agenda right up where the sun don't shine.

Funlord2:
This boys father was a cbn governor during the abacha era. He is one of the richest men in northern naija, their homes in abuja, kaduna and lagos all look like houses from mtv cribs and if you see the amount of whips in most of their homes you would think the man is a car dealer! They also have a property in knightsbridge in the u.k as well as some others.....Now this _wanker could have walked into any blue chip ministry in nigeria with his dads links on returning back from the u.k after he finished his studies in jand but instead he was rolling to bearded gang resorts like Yemen and Syria for blending!

And they say this disease is not Madness. How can it Not be? Why would any sane individual gave up this life of luxury for 17 imaginary virgins in paradise?

A40:
Shey your waka no reach that side sha? That una zones don dey turn to Mosul. I was even thinking based on say holy month some of these guys go chill

I heard the Muslim community warned authorities about the Manchester bomber prior to the tragedy. How true is this?

Oga I was close o. Not as close as Nihilist. The thing don shele when me my mates coming from a friend's wedding reach. Me sef wonder o.

I would not be surprised but then again as I said MI6 are keeping close tabs on a lot of these lads. A couple is bound to slip through the net.

Ibime:
His second in command Mizahnur Rahman was my mate at Barnet College. He was a bright boy who did well in A-Levels, but when we all went to Uni, he chose to go and study "Islam" under Abu Hamza aka The hook and then turned into a hate preacher and terrorist sponsor. Next thing we heard, they sent him to jail for inciting another 9/11 outside Danish Embassy back in 2006 or so. Now they just sentenced him alongside Anjem Choudry to phuck knows how many years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizanur_Rahman_(Islamic_activist)


I have 4 different mates like this who are suspicious. Last time we had University Football team reunion in 2014, I almost fought with one of them for defending ISIS for their attack on the Yazidis. He is another bright lad who collected 1st Class in Maths, did his Masters at Cambridge and works in the City. 2nd year of Uni, he went for Hajj to Mecca and started becoming too religious after that. Anyway, he revealed at our last reunion that MI5 is watching him because he is part of a group that advocates return to original Islam. I am due to meet him for reunion next month, I won't be surprised if MI5 pick him up one of these days.

Another of my mate Abdullah in Manchester went to same Didsbury mosque as that Libyan bomber in Manchester. I remember he was defending ISIS in Watsapp conversation with me 2 years ago. He then disappeared from Facebook. I asked him why, he said he is laying low. . Anyway, he lives in Dubai now.

And finally another of my football mate from Uni went weird and started hanging out ONLY with beard gang since uni, and travelling the world with his beard gang. He refused to mix or integrate with any non muslim since then. Anyway, we shunned him since then and don't even bother inviting him for reunions. I will not be at all shocked if they pick him up over this London Bridge issue.

First of all mate you went Barnet college? ...What Branch did you go?

Dude it's serious Bro. I totally believe what yoi wrote. One of Best friends went to school with Emwazi.(Jihadi John to you guys). Dude was apparently a nice and quiet fella. Also a gifted footballer. One of the names you'll pick when choosing teams(must have played with Him after school hours a couple of times sef). The next we heard of Him was when the JihadiJohn saga came out. Ridiculous. If the Govt don't start clamping down on these hate filed preachers, it'll only get worse. Severe punishment also needs to be dished out. You can shove "Human Rights" down my butt crack.

You get mind to dey argue with them sha . Me I no fit. Make dem come remember my House first when they do another round of madness abi?..No Thank you!

Lincolnn2:
Sorry, I'm lost. Am I missing something? I thought the UK have chosen to withdraw from the EU and as such chosen to effectively close her borders from migrants as opposed to the 'free entry for migrants' that the EU advocate? So why these recent spate of terrorist attacks on the UK? I mean recent attacks have been mainly focused on the UK. I can't remember the last time any other EU country suffer terrorist attack. It has been the UK as of recent. Why?

They are mostly British Born and bred lads committing these atrocities. According to reports, the MI6 are apparently watching close to 3000 people which If true is ridiculous. One or two is bound to slip through the net and when that happens we get the sort of thing we saw on saturday.

Lincolnn2:
Or is it because the UK has chosen to close it's border, so some aggrieved migrants who have already made it to the UK and realised that their relatives back home won't be able to migrate to the UK anymore and as such have decided to make the UK pay by going on a bombing spree as revenge for the border closure?

Nah not a chance. If that was the case, it'll be the Bulgarians,polish and Romanians spearheading these attacks alas No. Tbh I think UK govt needs to have a good look at themselves and stop being political correct. It's well known some of these mosques preach nothing but hate yet hardly anything is being done. They need to start cracking down on these mosques and their Radical preachers. It took the govt forever to prosecute and jail Hate Crime preacher callded Anjem Choudry. This retard was clearly caught on tape inciting hatred yet He hid under the "Human Right" umbrella. left to me, i'd hang him by the balls.

Nihilist:
Oboi the thing do me like film trick. I was lodged in nearby Moorgate with a friend . I was supposed to be taking this person to a rooftop beach party in Brixton, but I wanted to flex my social capital and decided to take the person accross the river to Borough Market via Bankside.


We were sitting outside drinking cocktails when those fools entered. They were are the top end of the market by the Shard though, soI didn't see the attackers, I just saw people running and later heard gunshots


When I saw people screaming, running covered in blood i took off straight and ran into one bar for safety. That's when I realised that I had lost my phone...and my friend

My friend wasn't happy when I later spotted the person in the crowd. No ubers were running and the roads were closed so I doubled back all the way to Mansion House on the other side of the river to get to my hotel.

To make matters worse, my wife knew I was in the vicinity and had been ringing the hotel to find out if I was safe as my phone was now off. Almost as soon as I got in the room, I got a call from reception say my wife was on the line...needless to say it was a bit awkward because my friend was in the room.

Throughout the night, helicopters and sirens just dey whiz past us. And when I went out to buy a coffee this morning, BBC was shooting live coverage on the road yards from the Starbucks.

It's been mental.

Looool oh boy me sef dey around that area yesterday night. I dey waka home from my padi's wedding.

Ibime:
One of em is black.

I hope Somalian

They are all of Mediterranean origin it seems.

I was almost caught in the attack making my way down from a friend's wedding. From London Bridge down to Southwark was in chaos last night. Prayers and thoughts are with those who lost loved ones.

Eruditor:
That is true. Even if Alexis scores 15 goals in it, he would probably just make the podium in 3rd place.

Oh well. He would be 33 next year.

Bartomeu, we need new players.

Exactly I had a look at the teams. Not happening.

Yh but look at the level of talent around Him. He doesn't even run that much these days because He doesn't have to. The passes will always locate Him

Debroslink:
Ronaldo may not even need to go for the confed cup.

Haaaaaaa you think Ororo will miss the chance to shine on the global stage injuries permitting?

Hahahahah ..Go easy abeg. Suicidal thoughts is on the line here.

Eruditor:
What if he has a bad Confederations cup? Recency bias might make people forget all he achieved previously.

I know I am really wishing but stranger things have happened.

Nah not happening. ..No one playing in the confederation cup has a chance of overtaking Him.....Only If Argentina had won the Copa.
