@RuhukaM @StephenStorey This is cap. They were making fun of both of them. Her for her past and him for being a loser

@StephenStorey White twitter was defending that man’s wife from his lame post. Black twitter was being horrifically mean to a woman who didn’t do anything at all. The two were not the same.

Watching white twitter clown a guy for marrying a freaked out born again Christian yesterday afternoon Then watching black twitter clown a guy for marrying a stunt double on my 600lb life last night Twitter is as good as its ever been

@StephenStorey Before Elon ruined it we used to eat good on here

@kdotlew3H If you talking bout what I think you are, it’s been brutal lmao

Dawg protected his tweets??? What y’all do to son?

@DTG616 @WhozMEECH Respect to you as well

@HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH Just know i respect your passion for the game. You love the game, i see that.

The product is not nearly as good as it was in the, 90s, 2000s and 2010s. And get this, it’s NOT because of social media or because people have “more to do” now than ever. Because they don’t. Most people stay at home and are on their phones or watching TV. If the product was good it would thrive more now than ever. Imagine if fro-Kobe, peak Shaq, peak Duncan, McGrady, young LeBron, young Wade, young Durant, KG, Dirk, Iverson, Vince Carter and other stars from the 2000s replaced the stars of the NBA today. And they had the same competitive defensive mindset the 2000s had. The league would be thriving at levels it’s never seen before. The league isn’t even suffering because the stars of the NBA aren’t good enough or don’t compare to the 2000s generation. There are so many great stars today. The problem is they don’t start playing with effort until after the all star break and the foul baiting and overall NBA culture is just GARBAGE compared to previous eras. The data shows it. People don’t like the product. Bring back competitive spirit and defense. This why when Kobe retired people predicted not having his competitive spirit around in the league would make the league worse in time. And they were right.

@SNo_Man2168 @MarkAGunnels I like these reasons but they’re wildly small compared to what the NBA can offer him, especially in this window he’s in now. Think if he wins another chip this year. He’s a made man in the NBA for life

@HoopAddict31 @MarkAGunnels But, again, I’m starting at the top and working down. I’m not starting with the NCAA guys. He probably says no because he is in a tremendous window right now. But I still ask and make my best offer/argument. I’m not starting with a TJ Otzelberger for instance.

Yes, and it's not even about JV necessarily for me. It's just that when you're a brand like Kansas, you should make the top proven coaches say no to you first. JV could end up being great. I would just prefer someone proven at the college level.

@DaveAlgonquin3 @slick5800 @WhozMEECH That’s my point lol. The competitiveness was the exact same at all stages of time. There just wasn’t Twitter around for the equivalent of Wizards-Kings in late March to judge the whole season on like yall like to do. Tanking didn’t exist but that’s a valid criticism

@HoopAddict31 @slick5800 @WhozMEECH You do realize that that same thing was happening in the 90s-00s right? The NBA wasn’t passing on the best players in the world. They were there but the game was a wildly different and competitive sport.

@SNo_Man2168 @MarkAGunnels You’re trolling right? Please say sike lol

@MarkAGunnels I’m looking to the NBA for the next Kansas HC. Mark Daigneault from OKC for starters.

@slick5800 @DaveAlgonquin3 @WhozMEECH You realize that has always been the case right? The best players in the world play different that the less developed players?

@DaveAlgonquin3 @HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH "It’s not a basketball thing. It’s an NBA thing for me" I feel same way!

@ScoutGuru99 @JayJDONDA @jjmaples55 It’s not up to him to control that. His job was to make the best halftime show. It could have been Drake talking about him beating his wife on that stage. I agree we should be more careful but capitalism gon win every time for these folks. That’s not throwing a rock to me

@HoopAddict31 @JayJDONDA @jjmaples55 He didn’t discuss anyone feelings…just was talking about stan culture and media bias. KNOWING what will be said to hundreds of millions of ppl , who aren’t privy to rap battles , he was definitely complicit in what he is complaining about

What brick he throw? He ain't make one song lmao. He put the hottest artist in the super bowl. Just like he did this year.

@ScoutGuru99 @JayJDONDA @jjmaples55 So make the halftime show less successful, impactful and don’t use the best rapper in the world because we don’t want to hurt people’s feelings? I’m fairly certain he didn’t do it MAINLY to spite that dude. That’s also still not throwing a brick at him

@HoopAddict31 @JayJDONDA @jjmaples55 He knows what he was doing picking him and it literally could’ve been others… Bunny, Wayne, Gaga, Harry…a legacy act. Super Bowl performers does not have some history of picking artists who had a big year that previous year

@ScoutGuru99 @JayJDONDA @jjmaples55 So who was supposed to be in that Super Bowl?

@HoopAddict31 @JayJDONDA @jjmaples55 Cuz he isn’t a fucking idiot lol

@DTG616 @WhozMEECH Ima put you on game right quick. Everything has a context to it. What you call boring actual basketball people love. You just never were attached to the sport just the story lines that may or not be provided

@HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH I haven’t watched regular season consistently in awhile cause it’s boring. The Playoffs are amazing. I enjoyed last years finals. Young guys defending at an elite level. Pure teams playing together in unison on both ends.

@MattLucasPhotog @slick5800 @WhozMEECH And I’m asking based on what facts is this the case? Is it Twitter, the place the famously hates everything? What is the source?

@slick5800 @HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH Regardless numbers don't lie... People can defend this product till the cows come home, but the facts are less people are interested in the NBA and other sports are growing. Cut and dry

@DTG616 @WhozMEECH Analytics didn’t kill the mid range. The players decided to take better shots. Notice how the better players take those shots still like they should. Also not that it matters but teams average 115 ppg so again I know you don’t watch

@HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH I specifically said except elite teams, they are different. You never disputed anything I said from the first reply. Did analytics not kill the mid range game? Are most games ending in 130-140 point range?

@DTG616 @WhozMEECH Pretty typical of late March basketball. Something you would know if you watched the NBA.

@HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH There were 10 games in the NBA last night. 5 games were decided by over 20 points, 3 were decided by 30 points. 7 teams scored over 130 points. Lets speak in discourse, not insults.

@slick5800 @DaveAlgonquin3 @WhozMEECH And what don’t you like?

@HoopAddict31 @DaveAlgonquin3 @WhozMEECH I've tried to sit and watch NBA games this season and it just doesn't appeal to me. I've found myself watching more NCAA 🏀.

@DTG616 @WhozMEECH That doesn’t mean you watch or even comprehend what’s going on TODAY. You talking about playing styles and probably don’t even know what they are. I’m supposed to believe the Spurs and Nuggets play the exact same

@HoopAddict31 @WhozMEECH Bro my uncles best friend in the 90s was the Knicks GM, i learned the game from an actual front office/ex nba player so Yeah its not that.

@KingDutch2408 This ain’t gonna go the way you think brotha delete

@slick5800 @DaveAlgonquin3 @WhozMEECH And I gave mine so seems fair to me. I’d wager you pay more attention to what’s being said on here about the NBA than actually watching the NBA or basketball in general. Also no ones taking anything personal it’s Twitter lol

@HoopAddict31 @DaveAlgonquin3 @WhozMEECH It's his opinion man. You know what they say about opinions, "We all have them and some of them stink". I love 🏀 but I don't like this current iteration of the NBA. I also love track & field and a lot of people consider it an insignificant sport but I don't take it personally.
