PSA: In attempts to make myself the most knowledgeable host and basketball fan I can be, I’m going to begin with 1956 (Bill Russell’s rookie year) and go on watching every bit of footage and following every year of the NBA since then till now. I’ll tweet all the things I notice

You know what killed the NBA more than “nostalgia”?
Constant compare culture. We can’t say a player now is great, we have to compare them to a predecessor. In which it becomes subjective & ppl can’t accept the other sides opinion so then they end up hating that player.
Medias fault entirely
“Nostalgia is killing the NBA; 90s basketball Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant was not as clean as y'all think it was.”

lol the Tim Duncan discourse is so funny. Yall will never make me rethink what I witnessed.
Old ass Tim Duncan had me screaming down the staples center escalator begging him to retire.
You have to watch full games. One of the best to ever do it. EVER. I miss him now

It’s funny cause Barkley actually disagrees with LeBron even though he has 0 rings & Bron has 4. Just interesting to see the differences in opinion/mindset on this
World Cup Dime 🇮🇷🇺🇸
LeBron on Ring Culture: "I don't know why it's discussed so much in our sport... You tell me Iverson, Barkley, Nash weren't f**** unbelievable? They can't be talked about with these guys because they won rings?
It's like saying Peyton Manning can't be in the same room as Brady or Mahomes because he only has 1 ring.
Barry Bonds never won a world series and you can't sit here and tell me that he's not the greatest baseball player to ever touch a bat."

Just received a video from my block and there is no longer a structure standing. I’m guessing it’s all ash and rubble.
All I have are the clothes on my back, my new Sabrina’s, my car, and a couple basketballs.
No computer no clothes, everything I’ve ever owned and all the memories of me playing basketball as a kid and my late grandfather all gone. This is a nightmare beyond imagination.
There’s no dime dropper or locked on clippers for the foreseeable future. I don’t even know if I wanna do this anymore

Tbf the regular season was more prioritized 20 years ago. I love SGA but Steph is def better than him and Jokic is 100x better than Embiid. You put those in it becomes a series. But I’m still taking 03

Russ deserves to talk all the shit he wants. We benched him for his friend, front office only got him to appease Paul George & some players only to demote him to the bench after he tried to carry us in a series without 213.

Over the last decade all I heard was Bron Stan’s saying Kobe has the most misses ever and I kept saying that’s a longevity thing.
Now that LeBron has the most misses AND turnovers ever, it’s not a blemish. It’s a longevity thing. Goal post always moves 😂😂
Lonzo Ball on why Kobe Bryant isn’t part of his Mt. Rushmore:
“I love Kobe, but he was never the best player to me, watchin’ him, just because he got the most misses ever, you know what I’m sayin’?” 👀

Man we are underrating SGA now. To me only Steph is better. SGA is dropping 30 nightly on a winning team and guarding and about to lead his team to a title as consensus best player.
I’m usually pro history but I’m also pro accuracy. Shai is special and what he’s doing rn is too

He called Kareem a one note wonder
Used the plumber stuff on national tv
Said Embiid was better than wilt
Used every anti MJ talking point from NBA Twitter
Just trashed the sport pre 2000, and then got employed by the most historic franchise in the sport.
Poetic failure
JJ Redick called @kaj33 a one-note wonder.

Kobe said it years ago that we are struggling more in international competition. I still think we are the best and would win Gold with our best but the FIBA game exposes a lot of our flaws.
It’s a different game and we got no excuses.

Kawhi literally just snatched the ball in help and went behind the back to control it, comes up the court and hits a contested 3 right in dudes eyes in the span of like 20 seconds.

Money can be made back. Jerseys and clothes can be bought again. Computer can be replaced.
Thankfully my YouTube channel has sooo much on it that I still have videos.
But I no longer have videos of me hooping as a kid, all the games I played and the home videos of my late family members. That’s what hurts the most

I can’t believe that dude is leaving. After everything we did for him. Traded the farm. Paid him after he literally choked in the bubble.
And he couldn’t take 145-150 million for 3 years when Kawhi took a pay cut for him. Said he’d get it right Clipper nation. Just wow man

This guy called himself a coaches dream and I get why cause he’s so easy to fit into any system.
Low dribbles, high efficiency, doesn’t take bad shots, doesn’t slack off. I respect him a ton. But he’s had 8 coaches in 8 years. If their dream is to get fired sure

Hey everyone. So many messages to respond to but I appreciate all the well wishes and prayers.
Currently we are at my grandmas house. But they described our street as “an inferno”. Just waiting till the morning to see the truth. I’m scared. Never been more scared.
The thing I’m really mad about is that I wasn’t able to get anything out because the school didn’t cancel our game and I was in a rush to get out. I may have legit lost everything I own. Thanks again for the support now and always. My life is going to change a lot. And not for the better. Even if my house is gone, place of work in jeopardy, parent business, park I volunteer at burned to the ground, my high school, everything. Can’t believe they made us play. Can’t believe this all happened. You never think it can happen to you till it does
