I actually disagree and think the no call was legitimate. Loose ball that nics player got to before pistons. Donte beat him to spot and Thompsons momentum caused contact. Kind of a bang/bang play.
You foolin. But it was at least 2 other fouls on Knicks that could have been called before that.

You do this first to set a tone imo. A big part of the contest is to entertain. Once you lose the audience early it's over.
The dunk contest isn't what it used to be..it's just isn't exciting anymore when these players aren't creative with their dunks.

If there was other shit to watch during that time, I wouldn't even be watching that dunk contest.

Bronny is a bigger name than Bryce so the media don't promote him YET. Both will make it to the NBA and be impactful players, prolly not stars, but they will extend LeBron's brand and add another story line. And once young people see them make it, they will realize just how much the superstars of the past, the Michael Jordan's, D Wade's, Shaq's, etc. failed their kids. Giannis can get his brother in the league, but those guys couldn't get their kids? Sorry ass generation of mentors and parents. :smh:
Damn bruh

How when he got a broken back and he's saying that because this is last big contract because nobody else in the league is giving him that kind of money ever again. Also, he'll be a role player coming off the bench if another team decides to take a chance on him because other than that he'll be out of the league.

Doesn't count if he's mid though

It does count because no one even made it before and the million dollar deal he signs will be with real money. No one expects him to be as good as his dad. His ceiling is GPII, a hustle guy that defends. He's already already a household name with commercials. Yall really believe Bron playing with his son on the Lakers isn't a draw? Again, once he makes it, Gen Z is gonna be looking at their parents and grandparents like WTF were yall doing? :lol: Very few of them are doing better than their parents or were directly empowered by them to be more successful, and that was by design. :yes:

I thought Biden said in last year's state of the union that he was going to take on bullshit fees.

It is too hard to simply say "I am willing to spend X on tickets" and search for the seats you want. You spend time filtering through all the options, find the best possible seats in your price range, only to go to check out and get a "Lol, fuck you, not unless you want to spend an extra hundred" message.

Isn't LeBron the least qualified player in recent history to talk someone through dealing with bad luck with regard to injuries?

He's indestructible, dude made it past 35 with zero significant injuries. It's like Wolverine trying to emphasize with Mr. Glass. One of the luckiest players in history telling one of the least lucky superstars "Everything will work itself out."

Fair point.

Better counterpoint.

Not better by any means. The point about his spouse is to stupid to bother with. On the other point-- Adjusted for inflation, KAJ's career earnings would be approximately $33 million-- less than a million for every year that has passed since he retired, half of what some of these guys make in a single year now. Having money to throw at charity doesn't make you a better person or more socially aware.

You don't care about his family because you are WHITE. In the Black community nobody takes swirlers serious tryna be pro Black. It's a joke. :lol: Now you're dismissing LeBron's 20 year advocacy for an old nigga that built nothing and empowered no one. He lives off his radical days at UCLA running with the Black Panthers, but that guy died in the 70's. He was literally begging for an NBA job after he retired and aside from chastising other athletes doesn't speak up loudly on issues. LeBron already securing employment for his son while he's playing and calls out white politicians and billionaires publicly. KAJ only uses his platform to bash Black folks, while kissing white ass and going home to a white woman at night. Guess you forgot him tryna press Bron to endorse players getting vaxed the other year and swore he failed Black people by not doing so like his Democratic shill ass. :smh: Kareem sold out for white acceptance in the 80s, and didn't do half the things for our community LeBron has. Again, losers who don't believe in themselves will always romanticize the past cuz they have no future.

I didn't read your post because you are a MORON.

The truth hurts Mr. White supremacist. Being pro Black, means being pro Black American family. There's a reason you white boys never pit NBA players who are married to Black American women like Bron is against Bron, that defeats the purpose. Now you're underselling his Black American son who isn't biracial or light skinned like Gigi, since he publicly believes in him. :lol: Which was predicted two years ago I might add. LeBron hate is nothing more than the destruction of the Black American family, an extension of antebellum slavery era thought and ideals. :yes:

KAJ and his half white son who stabbed his neighbor and did time for attempted murder. He's taken less scrutiny than Bronny. If he were fully Black like Bronny, that wouldn't be the case. Thank God Kareem started a family with a white woman!!!
