The guy in black is holding a locally made hand gun( egbe awka) and that's illegal, that's not a hunting gun, these are guns used mostly by small time thieves and their likes. Nigga should be arrested asap.

Three sure hall of fame dudes come 2021, will miss em

birdman:
Interesting. I would first say that I think LBJ's generation has passed . I dont see him winning another ring in which he is the primary ball handler or offensive weapon. I think last year you could already see he had peaked physically.

LBJ's generation for me is anything from Kwame Brown in 2000 (i pity Jordan for wasting time on this guy, lol) to Brandon Roy entering the league about 2007. Out of Wade, LBJ and Melo drafted in 2k3, I thought Melo would win a ring first, then maybe LBJ. If Detroit hadnt gone stupid, they should have won another ring by drafting Melo instead of Darko . Other superstars in that time frame:

Dwight- i think the ship of greatness has sailed here
Arenas - e pain me as thids guy take dissappear. fun to watch, talked a lot
ZBo
Amare - o!, if only joe johnson had stayed bwhahaha
Yao - smh
Dwill
Brandon Roy
Bynum - may the lord deliver us from odaran draft picks
CP3
Even P Gasol, even though he was a vet in Europe already.

Based on the above, I would say LBJ bar none. Not just the rings, but the longevity. Gasol and Nowitzki are supermen, when you think of all the supposed superstars that have fallen wayside. Amare cant even hold the ball anymore..

Also, I think the current gen if superstars is Durant, Westbrook, Curry, James Harden, Demarcus Cousisns, Kyrie, and Kawhi. D Rose should be here too...alas

Paul George should be on your list

Your post is incoherent, dose not make one bit of sense.

Meanwhile,I need the geniuses to help me out on this
Many people will miss the answer. Someone steals your N500
Same person owes you N100
So he uses the stolen N500 to pay you his N100 debt and you give him N400.
How much did you lose?

Durhhh you lost 500 easy as pie

SMH it's legal to own a gun in Nigeria, the question is what type of gun? You can own a double barrel or a single barrel 12 gauge shot gun. Popularly known as pump action. You can't own a hand gun (pistol) or an assault Rifle. You just need a police license which is no big deal. So OP correct your misleading heading.

80% of our players play in the NBA so they know what's up.. Some of the best players in the NBA are Nigerians.

80% don't play in the NBA, not even 40% Al faaruq and Festus ezeli, don't know if other Nigerians opted to rep naija. Guys like oladipo and jahill okafor

You don't sound like a chelsea fan@ op. You rather sound like a chelsea hater with your tone.

No one is shutting down embassies, they are closing some consulates and missions, not embassies.

Would bet you all that by the time Anthony Davis is done, (hope he jumps ship and goes to a contender to get his rings) he would be the number one PF.

7 episodes confirmed for season 7.

forgive me, but how can Taylor Swift be the richest at 200million when Floyd Mayweather's net worth is 400 million?

Floyd like you said is the networth, Taylor Swift made that in a year. That list was their earnings in a year not their actual net worth

Big ups to Tim Duncan the ultimate professional, greatest power forward to grace the NBA. Its now officially kawahi Leonards team.

Roland17:
We seem to share same perspective like others about KD jumping ship, However, i don't think KD is interested in who the face of the Warrior's franchise or roaster is. He made a pragmatic decision and this is all about rings like we agree and if he wanted a franchise situation i think he would have remained with the Thunder.

I expect them to guide their offense through Durant/ Curry as their primary scorers especially during transition offense and i hope Green is understanding on the court, because we have seen numerous times Green became irritated, using foul language and bantering with Kerr because he was not a part of the offense during games. How they handle their individual ego would be important and determine the level of success this team would record.

You are right, the chemistry of the team needs to be on point for them to succeed. Green is hot headed and he is not as good as he thinks if he is not willing to sacrifice for the team, then he should be moved on. Curry and KD then klay before Green.

No need to hate on KD jumping ship to the warriors, he needs his rings and that's the safest bet for him to get it now. And for those who think he will play second fiddle or third fiddle guess again, he is going there to be the main man, it's just that simple. Arguably the greatest scorer in the NBA he won't play 2nd fiddle to nobody, klays and greens numbers would drop a bit in the scoring department there is no question about that.

SIRcumalot:
howland Reed must be the most useless man in the north and westeros as a whole.
when is character is finally revealed he better have been up to something more important than what as been going on so far.

I think Howland reed might be the guy to finally tell the world who Jon snow really is. He was @ the tower of joy and Ned stark might have made him swore to keep Jons birth a secret

aliondo:
The guy i wanted from the Lakers has already re-signed a new deal...i.e Jordan Clarkson...Boy can play...

Lakers really believe in their young core and I don't think they will break that up, not yet anyways. Clarkson is legit, even Russell and julius then add Ingram things are looking up

Anybody saying lebron is far far better than kobe just comes across to me as a kobe hater and I understand that. You can say "arguably" better and not far far better, saying it's not even close is like is simply stamping lebron as the greatest to ever walk on this earth. Jordan is greater than kobe but not far far greater, as of now currently kobe trumps lebron in my opinion, ain't about rings though just pure basketballing ability. Saying that the number 2 all time shooting guard is way way below lebron is clearly what it is. A kobe hater and I totally get you

Despite the recent money fall in the Association

Only few average-good ninjas that get paid a mill north, 60% or more are feeding on less than 500k annually

Most of their income comes from sponsors...

You wrong bro, the last CBA ensured players get a fair share, the average salary in the NBA runs into millions only a few reserve players that mostly play in the D league earn peanuts.

Hearing Pau gasol just signed a two year 30 mil plus deal with the spurs.

Shit just got real in the NBA,KD needs that ring and he needs it fast. Meanwhile don't know who else caught the FIBA U 17 tournament where USA walloped everybody, there are some great talent to watch out for in the next 3 to 4 years

Mizzzbeee:
LOL! Pro football players (NFL)reacts to the money handed out to nba guys. Like they picked the wrong sport!

And most of them can play both sports. But I think the talented basket ballers always choose basketball ahead of Football. Football is mostly athleticism

Mizzzbeee:
same here nothing

WNBA players earn peanuts, roughly 25k to 50k a year

Jon snow is no leader, yet he saved the wall from Mance when the wildlings attacked, when a former commander of the city watch was hiding with women and children, Jon snow is no leader yet he went beyond the wall willing to sacrifice himself to trade with Mance(his intention was killing him by the way knowing that would mean his death) Jon snow was chosen as Lord commander by the Nights watch, yet he wasn't a leader. Barely 3 thousand men agreed to follow him into a battle knowing the odds were against them, you only do that to a leader you believe in. And finally he was crowned King in the North because every body saw the leadership in him.
And quoting interviews from the actors themselves is very baseless because they just throw you off, Kit harrignton said so himself that he won't be coming back, that he was just there to shoot scenes of flash backs.

Reference:
It has become a popular expression so it is legit. The English language is filled with such.

Still dose not make it legit for me. I never use that and I always see it as a gaffe if someone does, although I totally get it being bastardized especially here in Nigeria.

[quote author=tonyx4x44 post=47057852]Was talking about this year team, I never brought up the 2012 team; who were also another rare occurrence. Even that 2012 team is not close to the dream team.

Check all other teams, NBA stars hardly play, it's usually the latest drafts from college basketball who want to make a name
My question was about this year's team, just used the 2012 team as point. The dream team was good no doubt but they where made to look extra good due to the fact that other countries were piss poor in basketball. Now the tide has closed a little bit but USA still dominates after Gerry Colangelo took over and set them straight.

gj22:
His calvary went after Jon before he signaled his archers.

Jon charged forward without thinking. He let his emotions cloud his judgment. It was after he charged forward that Ramsay sent his cavalry.

Or am i remembering wrongly?.

Re watch it again bro, his archers released the arrows and Jon charged forward, going back would have been the death of him. Jon is not stupid as a lot of people think. Dude is just fearless and has a lot of faith in his abilities as a skilled fighter

Nihilist:
Mate Jon Snow is a terrible commander and if you've been paying attention, you will notice that nobody seems to trust him as a leader....well, except for Tormmund and that little girl.

At Hardhome, despite the threats of the whitewalkers, despite the intervention of Tormmund who personally beat one of their leaders to death, the majority of the wildlings refused to follow him.

At Castle Black, some of his own subordinates consider him a traitor and kill him, and in the meeting where Aliser explains his logic to the members of the watch, we see that majority of the nights watch agree with his killing. Again, Jon has to rely on Tormmund to prevail on the members of the watch so that he could take his revenge.

When it came to the time to fight the Boltons, the major lords refused to trust him. Sansa refused to trust him. Tormmund had to remind the remaining wildlings about how Jon had to literrally die for them. Even the Lyanna had to be talked into backing Jon by Davos!

It is important to note up until the battle of the bastards, literally nobody trusts in Jon as a leader. Tormmund is loyal to Jon as friend and not as a leader. Tormmund has described himself as not being clever, and was ignorant of battle tactics as seen during the discussion with Jon and Davos.

Davos himself stressed how important it was to stick to the plan. Sansa told him that Ramsay would act in the way he did.

We can see that at almost every stage of his journey, Jon's judgement has (rightly)been questioned by many of the characters he interacts with. Even his own babe called him an Olodo.


So this is exactly why, I'm not judging Jon in hindsight. Everybody knew he would fuckup. This guy has constantly and consistently been one of the most idiotic characters in the GOT universe. Which is why I find it exceptionally galling that none of the Nothern Lords noticed this post-BoB

From all your posts it's obvious you hate Jon snow, how do you expect the wildlings to just follow him? Someone who has been their enemy for thousands of years, Jon snow was elected Commander of the watch after sam sang his praises and reminded every one how jon snow Led them @ the battle after ser aliser Thorne was injured. He does what he feels is right and he stands by his decision, jon snow is seen as a legend in the north your beloved ramsay even said so himself.
