    if you say so. My advice? mix yourself a drink, sit back, relax, and quit worrying about this stuff. ;)

    nah pro wrestling is trash, how they give black wrestlers dumb racist gimmicks. Never appealed to me, i moved over to the ufc and boxing where the fights are actually real.

    I check a Reddit sub called "Idiots almost dying" and it's jam-packed with amateur wrestlers attempting to either kill or cripple themselves for what looks like 7 people watching and likely no money.

    Don't mean to be rude, but what is it exactly that makes Harden appealing to follow for you?

    Really questionable attitude and one of the ugliest gamestyles to watch imo, the way he tries to draw fouls and jogs up the court.
    Even though I respect his level of performance, I don't see why he'd be the make or break reason to watch the league.

    the way the media and fans attack him compared to his peers is something I resonated with. It’s the same for my other 2 favorite athletes… Jameis Winston and Novak djokovic

    Well Dojokovic is a proven sh**head on and off the court, to be fair. Deserves the backlash.

    plenty of tennis players in the past like connors, McEnroe, and the current with shapovalov and careno busta have done worse and they were celebrated

    I actually like it. The league being dominated by perimeter players the past several years is a bit of an outlier. I don't mind them adjusting the rules to change it up. Sucks for us, because we just drafted a thin, small SG, but I think he'll adapt and be fine.

    so the talk about only eliminating “unnatural shooting motions” was in essence a lie then. The play where harden lost the ball in the backcourt he was handchecked by sadiq bey twice lol. Obvious fouls missed. So handcheckkng is back, but the league allowed Kobe and dwade to play their entire careers without handchecking

    Scoring rates were far too inflated and a rebalancing was going to happen at some point. I wouldn’t assume that the way they are calling (or not calling) things right now is going to persist season long exactly the same.

    Where’s the hand check? Harden mishandled the ball off his leg.

    An offensive player intentionally creating contact should not be rewarded, there is nothing glorious or fun about that, just a cheap trick getting in the way of real, good basketball.

    Shooting good, handling good, dunking good, blocking good. Can you imagine a generation of kids growing up inspired to learn to grab the defender's arm while doing a layup? Or players daily practice are dedicated to jumping into defender while shooting? How ****ed would that be.

    every superstar in the league is shooting career lows..

    bottomline, the myth that adam silver wanted to curve unnatural shooting motions.. was a lie. If he wanted less free-throws then he should have come out and admitted that. But its not fair to compare this era where handchecking is now allowed to the era in which wade, and kobe( god rest his soul) played in
