    Hurley to Lakers?

    I get what you’re saying but I think largely how people view the sameness or difference of a region of the US depends on how much they value or weigh certain cultural markers. For instance, I work in a community where the majority of the population is blue collar working class, drives a lot of...

    Musselman to USC?

    It cracks me up how some on here act flabbergasted that some place they don’t like is some place that others might actually like. I’ve lived in Southern California for about as long as I lived in Kentucky. Both have their good sides and bad sides, but there is a reason why 24 million people...

    Victor Wembanyama Bust

    Lebron’s performance in those 2016 finals, leading that Cavs team against that Warriors team, vaults him way way way up there in the goat conversation. I don’t think it’s enough to give him the edge over Jordan, but MJ doesn’t have anything close to that on his resume.

    Cal to Receive Nat’l Race Relations Award

    Keion Brooks was a member of the SEC council on racial equality and social justice. His comments were not because he thought Rupps name was the same as Hitler’s. It’s because the Rupp era was one where black players were excluded.

    Cal to Receive Nat’l Race Relations Award

    Brooks was not referring to Hitler when he referenced the name. He’s talking about the name of Rupp harkens back to an era when players like him were not allowed to play. That’s why they proposed the name change.

    Lakers give Jarred Vanderbilt 4-year extension

    Good for JV. He’ll be able to buy a nice spread in LA, and then watch it double in value in 10 years while still paying the same property taxes of the original sale.

    Victor Wembanyama Bust

    No one has seen anyone like him. The floor for this kid is, I don’t know, a Sam Bowie or a Greg Oden. The ceiling is a taller version of a hybrid of Giannis and Durant.

    Ultimate base roster college basketball mod for NBA2K14

    Nba2k23 is currently on sale for $7 on Xbox and I’m pretty sure someone has made a roster of college teams for franchise mode

    Issel still wants a NBA team in Louisville.

    Cincinnati and Louisville are almost the same exact driving distance away from Indianapolis. Both are big enough but probably not as enticing as vegas, Seattle or again, Mexico City. One of the biggest cities in the world and only a few hours flight for both conferences

    Issel still wants a NBA team in Louisville.

    Louisville is too close to the pacers market to be a legit option for expansion. Vegas will likely get one because it’s vegas and Seattle too because it’s good pub to bring back thr sonics. I could easily see them expanding to Mexico City next go around. It’s only a 4-6 hour flight for most...

    OT Bron Bron is Gone Gone

    That’s all true but it’s still the Lakers. They will have a much easier time finding a 3rd anchor to their roster because it’s a big market with lots of appeal

    OT Bron Bron is Gone Gone

    James is nowhere close to done. He’s still making all nba teams at 38. My guess is he plays until he catches Jordan in rings, and he probably wouldn’t mind if he did that as the second or third option. Plus he makes too much money to even think about hanging them up anytime soon

    Victor Webanyama. Are We Recruiting This Kid?

    Kids going to be a problem.

    Ja Morant suspened from all team activities

    That’s not some random family though. That’s a sitting US congressmen that many on here probably voted for. Of course the rest of the world thinks our fetish with guns is weird. It is weird.

    Oregon’s floor

    I don’t like that court, but ours looks like someone opened it up on google slides and put two blue text boxes along the baselines so we don’t have much room to talk
