I'd like to make a statement at this time: the above joke is clearly, objectively, very hacky and sort of lounge act-y, or whatever its not the most sophisticated quip of all time, ok?

I stand by it, but im not proud.

I call him Resident Trump because the P is so tiny you can't really see it.

I dont want lebron to ever retire. Please just keep playing forever.

But because of the smooth, organic nature of the pivot, the easy demeanor of jokics movements, the pass fake become background, filigree along the way to the more spectacular shot.

A master's attention to detail.

The sombor shuffle over wemby is a piece of art and should be discussed in the same detail.

For example: draw your attention to the gorgeous and subtle pass fake before the shot, executed in perfect rhythm and with total credibility. It sends the second defender scurrying away like a messenger.

O my god beck pls dont be a blusky caricature of yourself i promise you can handle a very mildly sharp tone like a good sport.

I do know your position, its quite clear. "Basketball reasons" (the product, as you say) > the Reason for Basketball, which is of course ... basketball. Youve lost sight.

Many many "basketball reasons" to have these new teams? Please go dissolve, right now, one or all of the kings the grizzlies the bulls the wizards and the jazz.

The idea that people in these markets, especially Seattle, aught not to have their own franchise despite a desperate desire for one, because howard..

@howardbeck.bsky.social your "basketball reasons" concept is faulty on its premise. You keep using that term, not really defining it, and so what you mean is merely "star talent level dilution" reasons.

Because there are plenty of quite obvious "basketball reasons" in favor expansion. For example:

The anger i have toward God is something i feel far more than His presence.

Boyfriend/girlfriend is fine husband/wife is fine but partner sounds so lame to me. Its like the waiting room of a mediocre therapist found in a strip mall. Its so bland its off putting. My women my man my bitch my baby-daddy almost all terms are better than partner.

Its a funny bit that we are teaching computers to be more human like and so we've reached the stage of lies. The computers are learning about lies, how to tell them, why they are bad (or not). And perhaps most important of all the computers are learning how we will lie. We will lie to them.

Ooof, thats a miscalc
