By giririsss Go To PostYeah, i remember paying over 200 last year.Which country did you guys go with this year?
By livefromkyoto Go To PostRuss would shut him the fuck up in 3 seconds. This isn't NY, he's a 3rd banana.Think anyone in the Anthony sweepstakes were hoping to get the Team USA version of Melo. It'd suck for the Rockets, but I kinda wanna see it work out in OKC.
But to be fair to the guy, everyone said he was a model teammate on Team USA, I think he'll be different with all NBA teammates and something to play for.
I saw it in bits and pieces in the series last playoffs where Westbrook would get his teammates involved and be winning, and conversely shoot his team out of a win.
None of those guys can use lack of talent around them as an excuse for their selfishness now. Would like to see Westbrook play like the former more often.
By giririsss Go To PostMine was only $130 this year. Seems cheap compared to last year.Dang. In the States, they're selling League Pass for $200 (a $40 increase over last year, but who's counting) for a subscription that has ads during the games.
I don't know. The web player is fucking garbage and never works for me in any web browser I've tried it in. The Xbox app constantly has issues, like clicking on a game will bring me to the tipoff rather than joining the game in progress. I know I don't really have a choice, but it still sucks.
Wall calling out the prominent NFL QB's
We saw Roethlisberger try to walk shit back.
" I couldn't sleep last night."
smh

By domino Go To PostUgh, what’s the scandal here? The kid might become NCAA ineligible? Big deal, take th $100k and go overseas and come to th NBA.
Nike tired of Adidas getting wins lately
Fuck THE NCAA. Idk how or why the FBI has jurisdiction on this.
By reilo Go To PostFuck THE NCAA. Idk how or why the FBI has jurisdiction on this.It's corruption.
By diehard Go To PostIt's corruption.Oh what grounds? Like if adidas wants to pay a poor family and their star athlete son money to sign a shoe contract with them when he’s in the NBA, that should be illegal? The NCAA is a joke and the only thing corrupt about this thig is the NCAA itself. It shouldn’t fucking exist.

It's in the same vain as the FBI getting involved in sports gambling cases. Paying people money under the table is literally bribery, and is illegal even when only when dealing with businesses (mostly, and its gray).
If all that indeed happened, they will be found guilty.

By reilo Go To PostBurn the NCAA and this shit wouldn't be illegal, especially if the NBA didn't have the age requirement.If there was no governing body whatsoever in college sports? If the NCAA goes away, it just shifts power to athletic conferences and there would be weird segmentation between them, including no inter-conference play.
I mean.. it could be OK i guess. Does Title IX go out the door too? Could only private institutions compete.. at all? It's not like the NBA where it's a completely private business league.
By diehard Go To PostIf there was no governing body whatsoever in college sports? If the NCAA goes away, it just shifts power to athletic conferences and there would be weird segmentation between them, including no inter-conference play.There’s model after model for youth and amateur athletics all across the globe that just work that aren’t tied to college athletics. Something else would need to be propped up, yes, but this whole play-for-free-tuition model is why shit like this is happening to begin with.

If the NBA truly wants to keep their age requirement (they shouldn’t), they would then need to allow 17 and 18 year olds to play in the G League as part of a true farm system. The infrastructure is already there, the NBA just doesn’t wanna go against the NCAA because of how ducking huge they are, and that’s a problem.
MLB and NHL would have an easy transition, and NFL would need to figure something out but it’d be worth it for everyone involved.

Something else would need to be propped up, yes, but this whole play-for-free-tuition model is why shit like this is happening to begin with.Sure, but the whole college athletics system is pretty unique to to the U.S. , and if you go to a system like in Europe where there are youth leagues completely dependent on a free market system you lose some good things with it. As bad as the NCAA is, Womens athletics has been helped a lot by our current system. The what pretty much amounts to redistribution of wealth has made it so lesser athletes or ones that are in less popular sports that wouldn't stand a chance of getting paid elsewhere at least get free education.

Not to mention that those "lesser" athletes don't even get a full tuition anyhow.
By reilo Go To PostThat's a bad-faith argument when the NCAA ends up exploiting those same athletes just the same. Not to mention that those "lesser" athletes don't even get a full tuition anyhow.Like 5% of athletes are providing something more valuable (at least on the open market, and excluding walk-ons) than what they are getting through a tuition.
By reilo Go To PostThat's a bad-faith argument when the NCAA ends up exploiting those same athletes just the same. Not to mention that those "lesser" athletes don't even get a full tuition anyhow.Yeah they do. Shit, plenty of colleges honestly shouldn't even have sports programs.
By Kabro Go To Postthat looks like pedobear.What's the age of consent in Memphis?
By Kabro Go To Postthat looks like pedobear.danganronpa or however it's spelled. it's about robotic man-sized teddy bears that kill people as a military weapon for some faction run by kids, i think?

By Jeff-DSA Go To PostAnime is so stupid.
It's like the one topic in areas of the internet that I visit that's constantly brought up but I know nothing about. Virtually nothing. Well ... other than 90% of the character designs look garbage lol

It all ends up as trash.
There's like 1% of anime that is worth watching. It's mass-produced trash, for the most part.
