@RedemptionArc25 @ShamsCharania Yeah no problem , glad I could help

@RyanShiflett2 @ShamsCharania Honestly, thanks for helping me understand a bit more. I'm only just getting into basketball (it's not that big a thing in Scotland) so that context helps

Statement from Luka Doncic’s agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball: "This season, Luka Dončić has performed at a historic level, leading the league in scoring, carrying the Lakers to third place in the Western Conference and placing himself in the middle of one of the most tightly contested MVP races in memory. To ensure that Luka’s incredible accomplishments this season are rightly honored and he can be considered for the league’s end-of-season awards, we intend to apply for an “Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge” to the 65-game rule. Luka missed two games this season for the birth of his second child in Slovenia. His daughter was born on Dec. 4 on another continent, and yet he was back in the United States competing with his team on Dec. 6. Luka has gone to great lengths to show up for his team and this league this season. His record-breaking season deserves to be noted in the history books, despite last night’s unfortunate injury and other extraordinary circumstances. We look forward to working with the NBAPA and the league office to ensure a fair outcome in this matter."

@RedemptionArc25 @ShamsCharania I think they challenging it is more about Luka being eligible to make an All NBA Team and in Luka’s case he would be All NBA First Team. That award holds great significance with legacy being 1 of 5 players to make the team. Also First Team means super max contract money.

@ShamsCharania Understand them challenging it, dudes had (for the most part) and unbelievable season. Crazy thing is even with the exception if granted he probably finishes 3rd in MVP

@IndiiFan @SilbZero @NBAMemes So your basically saying the 1 seed Thunder, 3 seed TimberWolves and 4 seed Clippers in 2024 are all crap teams he beat, mind you as a 5 seed with zero home court advantage the entire playoffs and carried the Mavericks to the Finals?

@SilbZero @NBAMemes The guy fucking sucks only can play good when playing crap teams

Rest in peace Luka 2025-26 MVP case🕊️ It was fun while it lasted.

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish True but in the end Chuck was vindicated for pushing Jimmy to hand over the case to HHM. Jimmy’s not the type of Lawyer to read through case law and file endless documents and dedicate the years required for a big RICO case hes better suited to be Saul Goodman a “Criminal Lawyer”

@Rod240719 @RyanShiflett2 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish The class action lawsuit worth millions. Pretty serious

AMC has announced 6 new shows set in the 'BREAKING BAD' universe: • Chuck • Hermanos Rising • Skinny Pete and Badger go to Vegas • Margolis • The Revenge of Kaylee Ehrmantraut • Tuco's Quest (Source: ew.com/vince-gilligan…)

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish but usually, that success didn’t happen solely with good work, if usually came with cutting corners, blackmail, bribes etc. The brothers were 2 complex and opposite people. The reasons could be endless when trying to piece together the motives of each.

@RyanShiflett2 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish And that was all bullshit. All he ever really cared about was exposing Jimmy so he could be the superior brother, which he needed because he had mommy and daddy issues because they loved Jimmy more. His mental illness was caused by Jimmy's success, Chuck wanted him to fail.

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish One other thing I disagree that Chicks mental illness was the result of Jimmy’s success. Chicks illness would get worse whenever Jimmy did somthing unethical or illegal. At first glance it might have appeared he got sick when Jimmy was successful but usually (continued)

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish I don’t doubt that it’s eats at Chuck that Jimmy can cut corners and half ass his way by using his charm to get to the rooms with the same people in half the time without the Ivy League schools and preparation that Chuck had to endure. Thus, why Chuck didn’t see Jimmy as his peer

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish I think the motives of Chuck and Jimmy are more complex and not as simple and black white at you are making them out to be. The first time I watched the show I too seen Chuck only in a negative light and felt bad for Jimmy. Jimmy has that impact on people, (continue)

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish Chuck however, comes of as as self righteous and an entitled prick. He’s the complete opposite of Jimmy. Chucks obviously very intelligent but doesn’t have the Charisma or likability like Jimmy. Jimmys more blue collar and Chucks more elitist. I don’t doubt (continue)

@ShawnMabee1993 @Rod240719 @ChicagoVOID @DiscussingFish I find myself always rooting for Jimmy and siding with him even when he’s clearly in wrong. I don’t know if it’a I root for the underdog or what it is but it’s hard not to like him and want him to win eve when it’s at the expense of someone else. Chuck however, (continue)

@rpdunn8 @NBA__Courtside I also hate when these so called experts say Luka’s play style can get you to an NBA Finals but it cannot win you a Finals and Championship. So I’m supposed to believe he’s good enough to win three 7 gm series vs superior West but it’s impossible to win 1 more series vs the East?

@NBA__Courtside Actually Luka has already been in the playoffs and reached the WCFinal twice and won a Western Conference championship Luka has been to the NBAFinals. It’s like these playoff appearances never happened and the results are lost to an amnesia.

Rashad McCants believes Luka Doncic play style can’t win a championship: “I don’t believe that’s great basketball. The late great Kobe Bryant said it best with James Harden. You can’t win just dominating at the top of the key. What Luka does is good for regular season basketball. It has been for the years he’s been in the league. When you talk about what happens when he goes into the playoffs and how teams are easily strategizing for his play, it’s easy to neutralize him. Boston exposed that. He don’t have Kyrie Irving right now to bail him out” (Via @SoundbiteKing / @GilsArenaShow)

@black_42 @MagicMikeDPT My mom was born in Lafayette Louisiana. We live on the East Coast now but lost of my family on my moms side still live in Cajun country. Having had Cajun and Creole food I’ll pick Cajun every time. Have you ever boudin from Lafayette?

@RyanShiflett2 @MagicMikeDPT I agree

Best food scene in America 1. Chicago 2. New York (wants to be Chicago so bad) 3. Seattle (sneaky good all over) 4. LA (a lot of over the top nonsense) 5. New Orleans (literally no variation)

@AdamGordy3 @SStricklandMMA @TheCriticalDri1 I remember the Trump escalator ride and the promises he made, which most of it never happened, like “Build the Wall.” Still waiting on that Big Beautiful Wall. What about the 2 grand tariff check.. you get your yet? You said I did a 180, still waiting for that recipe too dummy??

Damn, dude. Mr. Medal of Honor because you bravely showed your face! Lol, remember Trump’s first speech? When he took the escalator ride and announced his presidential run? He literally says everything he’s going to do in that speech. It’s crazy what you’ll find out by just looking.

Trump completely betrayed the blue collar guys with Iran. What has this cost the average guy. Gas? Shipping? Inflation? 1000 to 2000? How much more by the time this is done? Rich get richer and poor get poorer. Complete betrayal...

@AdamGordy3 @SStricklandMMA @TheCriticalDri1 I’d agree don’t take much bravery to show your face and yet we still got pussies like you who talk shit behind cartoon images.

@MagicMikeDPT @black_42 I’d say if you want good Louisiana food I’d leave Nola and go North to Lafayette in Cajun country. Nola is Creole when you eat food like Gumbo, crawfish étouffée and Jambalaya it taste completely diffrent made with Creole recipes and Cajun ones, both are good Cajuns more spicy

@black_42 You guys do not know where to eat in Nola. Leave the French Quarter, tourist

@AdamGordy3 @SStricklandMMA @TheCriticalDri1 Says the guy who so bravely speaks his mind but doesn’t show his face. Please, enlighten me on where I have done a complete 180 on what I have said?

@RyanShiflett2 @SStricklandMMA @TheCriticalDri1 Damn, dude. You’re like a real-life zombie! Where the fuck is your brain? The internet is wide open! I can look up everything you said and find the complete 180 on what you said.

@ajdawgfan @Thechat101 I get what you mean though I’m a big NBA fan and the game has lost something from the 2010s era with all the 3 point shooting and all the players being too friendly it seems. I do think in time when Lenrom and Curry are gone other guys will come along and fill those gaps

@RyanShiflett2 @Thechat101 I’ll give Luka and maybe Wemby but none of those other guys are relevant to the average American.

Gilbert Arenas says that if you took the 10 biggest stars from basketball football, soccer, and baseball and traveled to every state in America asking who people recognise it would be the nba players

@ajdawgfan @Thechat101 They might not be Steph or LeBron relevant but not many athletes in any sport are. Give it some time and if say Anthony Edward’s wins a chip he will be def be a hous hold name. He’s super athletic, has attitude he just needs a ring.

@5000Ladytr79538 @eThirty_Three @lBXvtRV27846YhW @yamanakanobody I as an American def get that feeling that a lot of countries dislike America but now that I’m really thinking about it I don’t think it’s so much so that the citizens of the world hate the citizens of America but more so they dislike the American government and its bullying.

@eThirty_Three @lBXvtRV27846YhW @yamanakanobody Oh no. Americans are hated universally around the world.

俺アメリカ人が日本の事好きなイメージが無かったんだよ。 何なら少し馬鹿にしてると思ってた。 でも全然違った。変な日本人より日本が好きだった。 ひとつ気になってるんだが、どうして日本が好きなの？
