The title of this thread makes me to remember one useless movie like that I just couldn't watch to the end no matter how many times I tried, called The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Jon Snow, you know nothing.

I'll advise you keep to your blue film genre.

Deep movie. A classic.

Lakers on free fall. Lebron injured again. Safe to say there will be a new champion in the NBA come the playoffs.

BrutusOj:
Especially indecent dressing of aunts, neighbors, even mothers around innocent boys. Infact, boys are more molested than girls, just that we make are naturally hard minded and find it difficult to speak out. Abuse is not only about handling or touching, you could abuse a minor' mind with what you display infront of him. Stop molesting our boys!!!

True bro. Very true.

Great article.

Some observations. Some balancing is required.

When you list fathers, list mothers too. It's a mental problem and therefore not gender specific. I've had mothers confess to me that they have an inexplicable sexual feeling for their male child, even though they haven't acted on it.

When you mention anal sex for underaged boys mention sexual molestation by women on these boys too. These are very rampant and remain largely unreported.

Lamarcus Aldridge .

A good player in his heydays tho especially at Portland...Wish you all the best in your future endeavors...

So sad for Lamarcus Aldridge. Heart issues. Not something to be toyed with. May God heal him. Wish him the best.

Roland17:
Jamal Murray has suffered a torn ACL and is out indefinitely. Just when the Nuggets had a slim chance of making some noise in the postseason, this happens!

I wish Jamal all the best and hope he rehabs well.

This is a devastating blow to the Nuggets' post season aspirations. Came at the wrongest of times. So so sad for Murray. May he be healed speedily and come back better and stronger.

A40:
Griping about his shots as essentially a rookie publicly could be construed as problematic but the kid knows his worth and I respect that.

I 100% blame teams that passed on him. Anything from the 3rd pick downwards you should totally take a flier on a 6'10 guy that can score from all ends of the floor. And can rebound at a high level. Thus far I can only definitively point to 3 guys better than him in that draft

Yea, I remember him calling out Jokic and Jamal after they were 3-1 down after game 4 against the Clippers. Dude legit believed in himself.

A40:
KD is a joke man. Pure joke

Another guy that's a well kept secret at this point is Michael Porter Jr. How embarrassed are the teams that passed on him must be feeling now. Doc Rivers I sight you

MAGA Mike is more or less a light skinned KD with elite rebounding. He will be a match up nightmare moving forward. Pree the efficiency

MPJ. I agree. I took a mental note of him when I saw the young dude do some impressive and gutsy things at the Bubble playoffs. This season the game has slowed down for him and he has come into his beautiful own.

I don't blame the teams that passed on him though. Lower back disc surgery at such a young age ďid not look good at all. The Nuggets took a huge risk on him and it's paying off. Lucky them.

Android17:
Superteams in this dispensation started from Miami Heats of 2010. How did you forget?

Before the 2010 Miami Heats there was the Celtics perennial All Stars trio of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen of the 2007-2008 championship winning team. If you are looking for a beginning that's it for you.

And no there is no precedence for that GSW-KD annihilation combo. I also did say it was what triggered this new wave of ring chasing. The keyword is new wave.

And yes, I did point out that Lebron is not entirely guilt-free.

Android17:
In Lebron's defence, he has been unashamed with his superteaming and ring chasing. He did try to recruit Kawhi to join him and AD and he said that he does not care about people's opinions. The issue is the fan boys deny it and insult others while at it.

Coveniently, you guys are selectively forgetting that the current wave of superteaming and ring chasing mindset was triggered after a 73-9 GS Warriors, with the then current MVP and 3 All Stars, acquired Kevin Durant, the greatest scorer in NBA history and made themselves unplayable, blotting out any iota of competition in the NBA for 3 seasons and 2 rings until injury scuppered that unfair dominance.

Same KD then, same KD now, but no we must conveniently forget that GS happened and start the remembering from the morning Lebron tried to recruit Kawhi.

Lebron is not entirely innocent in this melee but guys some balance is good for the health.

aliondo:
Hey guys..been a while...

Something to discuss on....pretty good trades ranging from Tucker to Bucks, Gordon to Nuggets, Oladipo to Miami...

But Rondo to Clippers and Sweet Lou to Hawks, cool to discuss about?

If Aaron Gordon is fit and in form come the playoffs then the Nuggets will be very competitive come the playoffs. Same with the Miami Heat's acquisition of Victor Oladipo - I will not write off a Butler led team. The two teams have maintained their identity and strengthened their squad with these guys.

For the Cippers, it depends on the version of the playoff Rondo they are getting and if chemistry is good with the rest of the team. If Rondo is on fire and solves their protracted guard issues and gels with this team there will be trouble in the West.

But guys, the Nets are a scary team already and with their recent additions they are favourites in my books.

If Lakers gets Drummond they will be able to compete if they get a fit and in form Lebron back. If AD comes back in form and healthy too then I will say they can match the Nets and I expect sweat and blood if they meet.

It continues.

Here is a healthy robust debate on the same issue.

A40:
There is nothing healthy about your debate. The minute you insinuated a hatchet job any discerning individual can easily suss your agenda.

No bro, it's not everyone or everything that has an agenda. The 3 possible reasons I mentioned were the fodder for the expected debate. All you needed to do was to agree or disagree agreeably.

A40:
You didn't say this at the time so forget this your hypocritical energy abeg.

It was a basketball play you would expect a guy on the end of the bench to make. Any reasonable person can see he even controlled his body to ensure he did not fall on LeBron but weirdos and Bronsexuals actually attacked this man that he had to block his IG comments

Same Schroeder that was talking about how he was drafted same year with Hill and didn't see him as that kind of player? Lool Montrezl of all people. Yeah those are unbiased opinions I should listen to.

Please half the press are unrepentant Bronsexuals which is why there is so much hullabaloo over a basketball play to begin with. Y'all ought to be ashamed of yourselves sullying a player's reputation for nothing except extreme fanboyism

.

Chief anti-Lebron activist, I see you.

Don't bring what fanboys say or do into this argument. Our debate, our words , what I said, what you said, are on this thread. A healthy debate about the incident was all I wanted when I put it up. No, everything Lebron must be about anger and hate and negative energy.

Paul Pierce must be proud of you.

A40:
You Bron fanboys are unbearable. It was a clear hustle play. He had blocked the driving lane and made him have to turn back, you can see he pulled back and didn't even put his full weight on LeNomad

I don't know how you expect a player who only gets 15-20 mins on the floor to get on the court and not play his tail off

Where was this energy when LeNomad literally pushed Joel Embiid mid air when they played the Sixers. You people are not serious at all

That was a dirty play by Lebron on Embiid. You see how simple it was for me to say it?

I wrote down 3 possible plausible reasons 2 of which are not even sinister on how Bron got injured but no!! for you they are totally inconceivable and every point or argument must be staunchly anti-Lebron, that's the only way you can sleep easy this night.

2 Lakers players who were on the floor when the injury happened(Trez and Schroder) said the same thing to the press but armchair anti-Lebron crusaders must pontificate to us all what actually happened on that court from the comfort of their bedrooms and if I don't agree I am unbearable.

I get it.

SmooshCHN:
Dennis Schroeder? As in Dennis Schroeder talking about unnecessary play? Lmao. Watch that sequence as a whole and not frame by frame like an analyst. It's non of the three. That's hustle and unfortunately, didn't turn out well for LeBron. Players dive for loose ball every time. I sha know sey una no go talk if na another player injure like that.

My diagnosis, perceptual bias. Let's agree to disagree.

I sha know sey una no go talk if na another player injure like that.

Check my records, bro. I don't roll like that.

Roland17:
Pesin wen come back to score 3 points so as to keep him streak of scoring 10Pts..before him finally go bench.

And so? Baba Roland17 and his lowkey hating . If Kobe did that you would call it resilience, right?

SmooshCHN:
Abeg, play on. Na ball hustle.

Which ball hustle? To me, it wasn't a loose ball situation at all. Bron had picked up the ball and had planted his feet. Which loose ball was he diving for?

3 things:

1. An unecessary play (Schroeder's comments)
2. An awkward dive/An awkward player
3. A hatchet job

One of these is true.

Lebron injured. Ankle. Was it an awkward dive or dirty play by Solomon Hill?

These are not good times for Lakers. Without AD and Lebron rough times are here. Championship hopes dwindling.

Klass99:
Thanks sweetheart I am flattered and this is the only thing in your post I'm interested in. Mwah

Of course, to each her own perspective. You are welcome

Klass99:
You just described me and I love dogs too, but do not have one yet. I am also certain we are not neighbours.

Believe it or not, there are women like me and her, who do not have that maternal desire at all, it's not pretence, it's not spiritual, it's not feminism and it's not medical or health related either. We just do not desire children.

To answer your question/topic of the thread - marriage and children are life choices, not goals or achievements we all have to meet in order to unlock happiness or the adult phase of our lives. I saw this on NL some time ago and I absolutely agreed with it then and still do.

So, how do you know the lack of maternal desire is not spiritual? What do you know about spirituality? What do you know about the principles on which this universe run? What do you know about why you act the way you do? How did you know your lack of desire for children is not related to an earlier traumatic experience or a transgenerational trauma?


I like your intelligence on NL. But on this score, babes, you are very far off the mark.

If only you guys will listen to the full interview before spewing nonsense against him based on rubbish spurn by half baked blogs. He never made any excuse for losing. He is brave and fearless and surprisingly very intelligent and likable.

Kudos champ!

Steady, hear this from the horse's mouth:

IntentionTremor:
I beg to keep the conversation here. Thanks

Sorry bro, didn't open my NL account for such. Best wishes and God's grace.

IntentionTremor:
I am very open to exhaust those alternatives. Don't hesitate to share with me. Thanks

PM me, let's talk via emails.

IntentionTremor:
It certainly does need a healthy womb o. We didn't do the hyster procedure! Doing the procedure means good bye to TTC. We changed doctor , went on recommendation. New doctor/team started afresh, did some crazy injections on the womb for some months before starting a new ivf cycle...that still failed after transfer. Thanks

In that case a solution is still feasible for your wife. I know you are frustrated and exhausted but there are still solutions out there that are not mainstream but are efficacious. Somebody on this thread mentioned alternative medicine/alternative solutions. I might be of some help to you regarding that if you become interested in embracing such solutions.

Peace.

IntentionTremor, if a hysterectomy was done on her what are the chances of a successful implantation during IVF? Or does a successful implantation not need a healthy uterus? I am not a medical expert o but my question is to test the reality you were working with, to check whether you were throwing a bad solution on a tough problem. Peace.

bwambasolomon:
So u wash my boxers and I don't know be that oo. Have you washed my boxers more than 3 times? and if yes, how many did you wash? Because the me I know, I have close to 20 boxers, and I don't remember you washing more than 5 of them.

bwambasolomon, you, my friend, are the definition of immaturity and pettiness. Can you read what you, a full fledged man, just wrote above for the reading pleasure of a million strangers? Damn! Shame dey catch me for una matter.

I would understand the flippant mouth and the nagging woman part your fiancee is displaying, even though it's a no no for me, but for you as a man to compete with her ad infinitum on nagging and pettiness and flippancy is the zenith of immaturity.

And to think that despite all the mutual mudslinging and all the NL advice that you two are still living together at this very moment. Chai!

Your differences are too fundamental and foundational to be overlooked or reconciled.

I'll advise both of you to go your separate ways. Do not consummate this into marriage. If you fail to heed this rest assured it will end in premium tears.

Count your costs. Move on. Learn from your mistakes. Be a better man, a better woman in your next relationship.

Best wishes, you two.

SmooshCHN:
Totally unrelated to basketball. I was hoping this day would come and here it is.
No, it's not my wedding announcement. I never reach that stage.


This thread has been a blessing to me in every way possible. Kept me busy, kept me happy and kept me company through med school. NL was the first tab I open almost every morning in the last like 5/6yrs because I know this thread would help me get through the day even when my Warriors would lose by 35. Don't get me started on playoffs when I'm always writing exams. I remember rushing my papers to catch the Warriors finals vs Cavs only for Iguodala to get blocked by James. Good times sha. Thank you guys for helping me in ways you can't imagine. The semi-depressed times, everything. Thank you guys from Ersan (I have to mention him for obvious reasons ) to everyone one. I don't want to skip anyone's name. Thank you Guys.

I was inducted yesterday and you guys were part of the journey. Still confused about what next to do cos it's Nigeria but thank you Guys. Thank you so much.
I could have posted a picture but yunno


_{ps: the Celtics are still trash and the Lakers are not repeating. thanks}

Congrats brotherly. I am glad all that hard work is paying off. Best wishes. May God grant you the wisdom and the understanding for your next steps.
