A40: No be D. Ainge? Haha…Na my guy sha… He go pile am for them but I will tell you, Ainge is great at team construction. The Timberwolves ruined the market for everyone with that ridiculous trade for Gobert. What’s your take on Lamar Jackson’s contract situation? Any chance he gets more than what the Browns gave Watson in guaranteed money? Also, e be like say Gisele dey para for your fraud for returning to play football.. |

Roland17:Lmaoo bro. Them no fit satisfy woman. If you no work problem, if you go outside hustle still problem. Na why I no dey blame people like Di Caprio wey dey freestyle with babe discharge am when she 25. I like Gisele but make she calm down. This is certainly his last season The Browns have ruined it for everyone. Lamar Jackson better get his money. If I'm Lamar I'm not taking a cent under $250m guaranteed. He's 25-26. What are we talking about here? I don't like bringing up race but if Lamar was white they would have paid him long ago |

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 1 Like 1 Share |

birdman: I have to agree. This upcoming season, the East is going to be stronger than the West once again and they are going to feast on each other, thereby weakening the team that appears in the finals. The Celtics v Bucks was one hell of a physical series that definitely did a number on my Celtics. 1 Like 1 Share |

Roland17: The warriors were head and shoulders above the Celtics. They were just picking up after slumping due to injuries. And they finally peaked in the finals. If not for some good fortune in Game 1, the series would have ended in 5. Repeat it 4x, warriors win 4x. Fatigue had nothing to do with it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Skrrrrrrr: 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. |

Roland17: 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. 2 Likes |

Skrrrrrrr:In the last 20 years, The Warriors have pulled the most ratings in the NBA finals. The most recent one still topped Lebron and the Lakers as well as Giannis and his bucks. If anyone cites COVID-19 tell them that every other shows' ratings improved as a result of it. I mean viewership not attendance. And it is not because of the Celtics. We are box office. In addition, Curry has become the face of the NBA again. He is in all the commercials, hosted the ESPYs and dominated most of the news stories before the KD brouhaha (they even tried to lie using our name to get the news to generate more buzz). As soon as that was sorted, the news shifted back to Curry and the Warriors. We will virtually be on every other televised games this coming season, more times than Bucks and Lakers were given in the last 2 years having won championships. The bus parade, Draymond Green's marriage and Curry's graduation all dominated sports news. Curry is the Cinderella man: winning his first Finals MVP and everyone maybe except Creep Bayless now agreeing he is a top 10 player in NBA history. Don't expect people who never wanted us to win to be happy about it. Grape is sour. For some, their team lost so their frustration is granted. For others, it is because Curry proved all that floor General jibber jabber we used to hear was utter nonsense and I called it out at the time. It is often said that people will lie but numbers don't so I attached numerical proof concerning the NBA finals. The rest of the other stuff is easier to prove. They hate us cause they ain't us. They hate us cause they anus 2 Likes 1 Share

A40: Naaa, your tap dancing fraud no dey the levels of hustling like that. Which kain money wen him wan make this year wen him neva see before? It won’t add or bump his income/ tax bracket. Is 1 year of playing football actually worth the peace and happiness of his marriage? I mean, what is there to achieve that this one season will cement? Personally for me, if Gisele doesn’t want it and he values his marriage, it’s a dangerous risk to take. He kept it together with her while he was playing, why mess it up because of one year? However, if he doesn’t care about her thoughts or the health of the marriage, then by all means blow her bluffs, play this season and bear all the consequences. If he was younger and maybe not into the 2nd phase of his playing career, then I will 100% support his decision to continue playing. I agree with your thoughts on Lamar… I’d hate to see the Ravens franchise tag him. |

Roland17:You don't win 7 Superbowls without being a maniac or a psychopath. It's not about money obviously but that man really loves the game. And a true gamer rarely ever goes out on top. It's tough to retire when you still have some juice left in you Tom Brady led the league in Pass TDs and Yards and was 2nd in MVP voting (a lot of people believe he was robbed) and then came back from a 27-3 deficit against the SB Champions. They only lost because Brady never had a chance to get the ball 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. It's just a control move and not a love move that's the truth. The Bucs will play 8 games at home. And then all off the offseason. The kids are getting to the age where they want to see Daddy less anyway. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:13pm On Sep 08, 2022 |
where is smooshchn btw. now that I think of it, I have seen him sparingly this offseason. bro wey you na |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 5:20pm On Sep 08, 2022 |
A40: 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. |
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 6:29pm On Sep 08, 2022 |
birdman:Seeing the world? What does that even mean? Aren't they seeing the world already enough like this? This is Tom Brady oh! You mean after retirement they wouldn't see the world? When you marry an uber driven person there are certain concessions you simply have to make. Occupational hazards. For me this is a man fulfilling his passion. What he's literally been called on this earth to do. Not some frivolous activity. If Brady is getting this kind of drama then what is the hope of the common man like us? Even Ohanian know wetin e marry. You let the sport beat them out of the game. Serena wanted to keep playing but when small small girls start to knack am akpako back to back to back no be person tell am before she quietly retired You don't want a partner you forced out of their passion in the house, they will be there but not there and everyone would be miserable. Certain people just are not going to quit till they squeeze out all the juice they have and I respect it |

Android17: You say? Notice how the ratings dropped in 2019 once they finished playing LeBron. What does that tell you? You can't compare TV shows to sports na. A lot of factors influence ratings. Abi did the 2020 Superbowl rating not drop too? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 7:06pm On Sep 08, 2022 |
A40: You raise a good point about competitive psychopaths but the truth is competitive psychopaths as described never have closure mentally. They always believe they can play forever. Many times it is their loved ones or people around them who help them stop because it feels like a drug you are addicted to. Observe the GOAT Jordan whenever he is interviewed, he almost smacks whenever he talks about today’s game and the noise about their abilities. Almost like I can still do this in my sleep! People in this category have nothing to prove, absolutely nothing after playing this long. The Bucs are not winning the SB. Their roster has changed significantly, including coaching and that is why Brady wanted to go to Miami when he decided to return. Keep in mind that Brady’s decision to un-retire changes what his family may have agreed upon before the end of last season and that has to be difficult for the family. Gisele has made a ton of sacrifice since his playing career, including her modeling career and the kids so it’s okay for her to be upset and disappointed that he wants to go back; it doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him. Remember, while Brady has tapped his way to staying healthy because of the protections he has enjoyed, his long term health post playing career is something she is also considering and one bit can change all of that. All in all, I really hope it is worth it because honestly, some things are not just worth the risk and consequence.. You can’t have it your way all the time in life. He has had a very stable and happy marriage, I’d hate for him to lose all of that because of one year. . 2 Likes 1 Share |
