Hail 2021!!! Phew! It’s been one hell of a ride in the year 2020. I mean, what did we not see:

World war 3 (we were really close)
The pandemic
The non-pandemic
The virus.
The vaccine
The new world orders
The protest.
I mean, I could go on and on. We have faced everything that can be faced under the sun, but here we are. In the new year and now it’s time to bring out your pens and start preparing those new year resolutions that never make it past the second week of January. But we do it anyway. We need to start the long road to normalcy in the year 2021. That the clock struck midnight, and we ushered in a new year does not automatically signify that every problem and challenge we have faced over the past 365 days are now a thing of the past. Instead, it is simply a reminder that we should be grateful for the gift that is a new day.

I can imagine what must be going on through many of our minds. We might not be able to wrap our heads around why exactly we need to be grateful. But if there’s anything I’ve learnt over the past year, is that it is he who that is alive that has hope for a better future. You might be down, but as long as your nostrils still draw breath, you are not out. The onus is on us, the living, to grab this new lease on life, this opportunity that the new year has presented to us to make the most out of it. You might not know it, but you are stronger than you were a year ago. You have survived one of the.........

Se you dey alright sha? Who is he gonna pass to? Oubre? Wiggins? Na back of TV you dey watch ni? Wetin controlling play even mean? especially in this case. Perhaps you should go and watch the game against the Bucks. Be careful oooo.

Bruh. You do know that warriors are playing in the western conference, right? I told you sometime ago. You cannot win with wiggins on your team. That guy is a bonafide scrub in the voice of SAS.

steady986:
That would be a true test of their championship credentials. For now though, I'm just gonna bask in the euphoria of this annihilation

True test of gini? Everytime we here the clippers were built to beat the lakers. Like say the 28 other teams, na groundnut them come sell. Let a fully fit clippers jam a fully fit mavs for playoffs again. Na then una go know say white men can jump

steady986:
50-point first half lead. Adonbilivit

I mean, we had the highest offensive rating ever in nba history last season. Our issue has never been offense. It has always on the defensive end. It was just a matter of time before someone got a beat down from us. Moreover. Luka is still pissed over what happened during the playoffs. This is simply revenge. And guess what, the clippers play brooklyn after this
Murder she wrote oooo

Rick Carslie should please put in luka. Make my man run up his stats like the OG statpadder trae young

steady986:
Man, I don't think I've seen a better discombobulation that what I'm seeing with the Clippers. I think I'm gonna have an orgasm

Bruh. Better hold it in. There is more to come. This is the beginning of my 30 match win streak. I knew it was just a matter of time before my 3's start falling. You guys are not ready!!!!!!1

lol. My boys out there committing murder to excellence. Please keep your excuses. I am playing without KP too. hehehe

We will Survive.

The classic from Gloria Gaynor “i will survive” is my motto for the rest of the year.

With all the events of the past month, Nigerians have done what Nigerians do best. Survive. Our ability to endure and push through whatever situation and challenges life throws at us is what makes us stand out across the continent and the world at large. To begin to recount the events of this year and how we have managed to maintain our sanity and sensibilities is something that might take all the time that I do not have. But It is without doubt, that the events of this year have exposed the extremely volatile situation the country currently sits on.

I was opportune to be in the midst of young men and women over the past couple of days to discuss and exchange ideas with them and I was shocked at the level of hopelessness in the land.

“Nigeria no fit better again “was the consensus amongst the youth, which really broke my heart. Years and years of oppression has finally broken the younger generation. The “never say die “spirit that defined us has been crushed. Now everyone has given into the reasoning that our situation is irredeemable. For the first time, na naija dey carry last.

Many of us are lucky enough that we live in a disconnected reality. In our gated estates, going about our daily jobs like it is no man’s business, living life through the myopic lens of social media. But like I tell a lot of my friends, the real causalities of the various battles we fought this year are not on social media.

It’s the woman with a table at as a stall at your local market selling vegetables for #100 naira whose goods perished due to the closure of markets that is the victim.

It is her kids that do not have the luxury of having a computer to take part in online classes, therefore are stuck running around on the streets that are the victim.

It is the factory worker whose irregular wages of #1.5K has been rendered irrelevant due to the hike in fuel price and .......

Roland17:
Giannis has agreed a 5 year supermax contract extension with the Bucks.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/30526147/giannis-antetokounmpo-milwaukee-bucks-reach-five-year-228m-supermax-extension

It's for the best. The last thing the league needs is another superteam steamrolling everyone to a 72 - 3 record

I remember watching Skyfall in the year 2012 (feels like eons ago) and there was a particular piece of dialogue that remains with me to this day. 007 was having an exchange with his new Quartermaster and there was a back and forth going on between them as they were both trying to make a case as to why the other no longer serves any purpose in our brave new world.

It went something like :

Q: Age is no guarantee of efficiency

Bond: And youth is no guarantee of innovation

Contained in that bit of dialogue is that age-long struggle between different generations across time, which is more pronounced now than ever.

The advancement in technology, proliferation of information, combined with radical changes in acceptable cultural norms has created a communication gap amongst two generations that is at the heart of a cold war that no one seems to want to acknowledge.

The average Nigerian youth has seen the development that is happening in first world countries and are beginning to rightfully question why they are not witnessing a similar growth in their own country.

The older generation is looking at the youth as privileged, spoilt and ungrateful. Admonishing them to be thankful for where they are now as they cannot imagine, let alone appreciate the amount of blood, pain, and sacrifice it took to put us where we presently are.

At the end of the day, this has fostered a surge of negative emotions, from resentment down to outright rage that boiled over in the mass protests that rocked the nation on the 20th of October 2020. Until both sides sheaths their swords and come to the table seeking to understand things from the other’s perspective, no real progress would be made.

I dare say it that the allegations levelled at the two warring generations are right and they both are complicit in the current situation the country finds itself in.

The younger generation lays the blame at the foot of the corrupt older generation, whose lack of patriotism and selfish interests has put Nigeria in this comatose state. The older generation has laid the blame at the younger generation for not proving to them that they are ready to handle the responsibility of leadership. The sorosoke people that would not come out and do the dirty work that needs to be done to effect real change. They think it is all about trending and airing their grievances on twitter that is when Boom! magically change would appear. It has been a mudslinging competition for the better part of two decades that has produced no results. When in reality, the core of our struggles is that we are rapidly losing our identity as Nigerians.

The current generation does not have any genuine connection to this land. The Nigerian dream for the majority of the youths is to escape Nigeria. Yes! Escape is the keyword here as they now liken the nation to a hellish dystopian prison with no light (literally), no hope, and no future. The ones that have left have sworn never to return again. They get to whatever country their wallets can take them to, make something out of themselves, and start de-nigerializing. Change their names. Ensure their kids bear no names that would link them to tribes back home. Ensure they are not taught their dialect, and the worst of all, their history.

This is important, as those who fail to learn from history are always bound to make the same mistakes again. Which is evident from what is happening around us presently.

The Entire continent of Africa was the last to embark on wide scale industrial revolution and change brought by the westerners. Before then, we, a society fully engrained in culture, were used as pawns for the purpose of accelerating development in the western world. At the point when we were finally let go from the physical shackles of slavery, there was so much distrust amongst the various tribes that is still manifested to this day. A lot of painful memories, unresolved anger, and grudges that have been passed on from generation to generation. There is a high level of the distrust amongst the people. How can we move forward as a country when.........

steady986:
I wonder where all these high hopes on the Mavs suddenly emanated from . Or did they sign someone I'm not aware of?

El Matador, halle-luka,luka magic. Do i need to say more. No player is touching my boy this season. If you are a betting man. Might as well place your bet on Luka for MVP.

steady986:
Gasol would be massive for this team. Look at how easily he finds plays cutting g to the basket. Being on the court alone would get him much attention.

And Horton-Tucker, ooof! What can I say? If he continues on this trajectory then we have a player on our hands. When was the last time the Lakers turned a low draft pick into something special?

i'm telling you. The way he was finding cutters on almost every play. He brings a totally different skillset and is definitely an upgrade to both mcgee and howard. There are only two teams that can stand in the way of the lakers this season. Mavs in the west and the nets in the east(thinging on kyrie not having one of his episodes again and being a good boy).

Timmyspy:
My black panther plot
Now that Thanos has unfortunately won Chadwick Boseman aka T'Challa / Black Panther on and off screen how would the black panther proceed?

Michael B. Jordan aka N'Jadaka / Erik "Killmonger" Stevens: could return in a villain turned hero role.

It actually turned out he didn't die after being "fatally" stabbed by the black panther. T'Challa actually saved his life and holed him up somewhere and they eventually became friends sort off after Erik saw the folly of his ways. Their time together would explain T'Challa's occasionally unexplained absence from the kingdom. The only People who knows about this are his sister Shuri, now wife Nakia and the Avengers.

T'Challa is unfortunately killed in a mission after the Avengers End Game saga leaving the Wakandan kingdom vulnerable without a black panther king. A new threat is on the horizon seeking control of the mineral rich Wakanda .

Comes in the now beloved N'Jadaka as the new black panther having been the only other person with its power and also legitimate heir to the throne. He then teams up with the rest of the kingdom to defend themselves successfully.

And they all live happily ever after awaiting the next movie in the series.
The end.
Play time 2hr:8 min.

Please. I did nothing. You people would just be labelling every evil that happens in this planet as my handiwork. Mistress death is there, you did not bother her when she's literally the embodiment of death. Na me una dey hammer upon. Please lets know what we are doing before i snap (no pun intended)

Paul George just signed a 4 year $190m extension. I mean,at this point, the flippers are just begging for it. Pandemic P agent should be in the running for the MVP for finnessing the clips out of a ring for the next 5 years lol

The entire NBA fandom mad that ESPN ranked their guys so low on the list . Lol. This ain't 2016, Dame has been cooking in this league for the past 2-3 years. Curry hasn't played for a year, let's wait and see if he picks up from where he left off then we can reconsider. Same with KD, he can't continue to rest on his laurels of best scorer in the league. This is 2020, let's see how you perform off that Achilles then we can talk about getting you back in the top 5. As for AD , I didn't envisage he'll be that high tbh, but he's the best two-way player in the league at the moment. F*ck what y'all heard about Kawhi, we saw holes in his defensive game last season.

But by and large, ESPN really got balls coming up with this top 10

Guys are making it out as if there's a wide chasm between harden and lillard. The two are practically interchangeable at this point. I do feel lillard benefited from recency bias though. With his heroics in the bubble combined with the media narrative around his loyalty and "love for the grind". lol. Black Americans and their over-glorification of hustle is just weird. But in all I would bump anyone that did not play in the last post season below those that played. So curry and KD should be bumped to 9 and 10. I don't care how good you are. if you are not available, you are useless.

steady986:
We tricked the entire league into thinking going big is the way to win, now we switching things up and going smaller. We gat something cooking for the league

It does not matter what you guys are cooking. You guys are not repeating. Not if my mavs have something to say about it.

birdman:
Rondo was not a big loss, father time has caught up with him, and he will be even slower this year. Dont let the 3s he made fool you, its not going to be repeated this season.

I like Howard as an active big, but Jokic schooled him thoroughly. The only thing Howard did in that series was be an extra body to help make Jokic tired. Im happy for Howard tho, the guy has been through a lot, most of it his own fault. At least he can end his career shoulder held high - if he stays healthy, he will be a coveted one year rental for a while.

You wanna get paid? Play with LBJ. It's literally a guarantee.

steady986:
Let's get this straight: the major reason we were a defensive Juggernaut last season is largely because of AD. Dwight and Javale contributed, no doubt, but let's not think they were the ones that made us who we were. Same thing applies to Rondo. Playing alongside LeBron can really bring out the best in you, because you know you're expected to win it all. As decent a playmaker as Rondo is, it was his scoring that came to the fore in the playoffs. And it only came in spurts, not regularly but in key moments. With Schroder, we're looking to have more regular scoring from the PG position. And it's not as though he's a liability in playmaking; he still averaged 4 assists last year. Rondo averaged 5.

By and large, LeBron and AD are the superstars of this team and they're still very much in their prime. When we put the team together last year it looked like we put scraps together, giving a lot of deadwood opportunities. Not a lot of people gave us a chance. This year Pelinka decided to break it up because he thinks it could be better, and also because he knows the league would be much tougher with KD and Curry returning. I think we look better than when we won the championship.

rondo a decent playmaker? I mean he might not be the force he was but the legend of playoff rondo is real. I do understand why there would be a need to change things up a little bit. The west has gotten considerably tougher. And they needed to get younger in the guard position as I believe there would be a lot of "load management " from LBJ this season to keep him fresh for the playoffs. AD is being set up for an MVP season and why i so recognize his chops as an elite rim protector. We cannot gloss over the fact that the considerable size advantage Lakers is lost due to the departures of Dwight and McGee. You just hope this won't be exploited by teams like philly/Denver who seem to be stocking up on giants at all positions

DeeMain:
Let's hope Gasol remains healthy and in form throughout the regular season and until we can get another centre. I know that Trezz and the others can fill in well in certain match ups. Lakers were big on defensive rebounds last season. They now have smaller guys and a slower but more cerebral Gasol for the same job.

Let's see how it pans out.

I really wished the Lakers ran it back. Rondo is a huge loss. While Schroeder is a better scorer, a planning guard is what they really need. And letting Dwight go has made them defensively weaker. I don't know if gasol still has much left in the tank after what I saw last season. Dwight was the anti-jokic last season and there are very few players that match up with him. But I guess time would tell.

birdman:
Lol. Kyrie is a #3 on a championship team. His jump shot is streaky, and no one is biting on those dribbles anymore. Lebron made it work in Cleveland, like he does everywhere else. Even Caruso is feeling like a don in lakerland these days.

Kyrie as #1 option has never worked. We are about to find out why Kyrie as #2 will not work either on the Nets. Unless of course they get Harden and bounce his insecure @ss in which case he can continue whining about Lebron like he owe him money. Nevermind, he gon keep whining about Lebron for the next 10 years regardless where he at.

I wish there was some sort of radar you could buy to identify shady brothers like this - you think they got your back until they dont.

It really is tiring at this point. He hit one he'll of a purple patch during that championship run, but ever since then, that man has been all about his numbers when he is on the court. He does not make his teammates better. Whines like a baby when he drops 50 and he loses but fails to realize when you don't let your teammates touch the ball, they can never get into a rhythm. Kyrie is just a mixtape basketballer. All highlights, no substance. He should be kissing the feet of LBJ for gifting him that one ring that he carries around like a badge of honor instead of biting the hands that fed him

mattfeuter:
He wants out.

And what the hell is wrong with Kyrie again like this ?

Declines speaking at the media day and chooses to release a public statement instead?

Baba don begin bring another leg commot oh ;

KD doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into

Like I said. Kyrie has this God complex that makes him feel like he is operating on a higher plane of intelligence than everyone else. Acting all philosophical and shit. But the reality is that he is farther from enlightenment than anyone else In the league. He is acting like a 13 year old that just got into watching one Jordan Peterson videos on YouTube and reading nietzsche now he thinks he has finally discovered the secrets of the universe. The victim in all these would be Steve Nash. Because when this KD-kyrie experiment crashes and burns, which it would. He would never get close to ahead coaching job for another 10 years. I honestly believe Kyrie is bi-polar man. The way his mood oscilates makes you wonder if this guy should not be in therapy or something. At least one thing is guaranteed, there would be no shortage of drama this season and Brooklyn is gonna be the epicentre of it all.
