    You just keep proving my point for me and making yourself look worse, you grumpy old boomer.

    Sorry the world is changing and that frightens you. There’s no reason to be such a hateful bigot though.

    His TS% and 3 point % declined after his first season and is down yet again, but it's all within expected margins for a guy that simply has shown no improvement when it comes to those things.

    He's picked up his defense this year though, he's merely a little bit bad rather than one of the worst in the entire league. So that's a thing to be happy about.

    Other than that? 33% 3 point shooter, 53% TS% for a guy that is supposed to be a scorer....yuck.

    That’s the best you can do?

    “No you are!”?

    Lmao. Classic boomer.

    You seem to be legitimately stupid, so I won’t engage further with you.

    “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

    Good luck making your way through this frightening and strange world for your few remaining years.

    The idiot is you. You obviously don't know what the definition of a bigot is. I'm probably younger than you lol. Let me help you out.

    a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

    You're dumbass is bigoted against an ENTIRE generation of citizens of all walks of life. You are the ultimate bigot. It doesn't matter to you whether they are man woman, black, white, handicapped, etc. You think all people from the boomer generation are idiots without anything to offer. Adios bigot.

    And you called me hypersensitive.

    Lol. If you were smart enough to know what irony is, you’d find your post funny.

    Weak attempt at a comeback. You just had your ass handed to you on a silver platter and now you're trying to toss it back.

    Look dude, lady, whatever you want to be, Im going to go on with my day. I'll be gracious and give you the last word. Make whatever disparaging remarks you want against your parents (boomers) because they don't accept you or your friends or lover or whatever get it all out of your system. I won't reply. You can get your win in. #Bewell

    I think this thread worked better when we were talking about whether or not we should move Jalen and not throwing out suppositions about his gender identity based on his fashion choices.

    None of that matters when discussing a basketball player, and I highly doubt the couple of minutes (max) it takes to do his nails is the reason why he's shooting the lowest ts% of his career thus far

    also dudes painting their nails is nothing new, it used to be an exclusively masculine thing in some societies, believe it or not

    The one I know for sure is that in ancient China nail polish was a rank signifier amongst the officials in ancient China, and I learned this while IN China so I'm pretty sure it's accurate. Both men and women wore nail polish (if they were bougie enough)

    And then when Jalen first got drafted and people were up in arms about his nails I also read that Babylonians painted their nails when they went to war to be scary and ****, because nobody else had black nails at the time.

    Those are pretty much the only examples that I can really be sure I'm not getting wrong

    Not totally sure why you use the word “y’all” when it was one specific poster who made the ridiculous claim that Jalen would be better if he stopped painting his nails and then proceeded to use the term “tranny” as an insult, but okay.

    Man some of you guys need to chill out. What does Jalen playing poorly have to do with his sexuality? That's a stupid conversation.

    He looks so timid and unconfident out there just painful to watch. No mojo whatsoever.

    This is basically how I feel. He has gone the wrong way this season and has not adjusted to a more "structured" offense well at all. Really too bad because if he improved his finishing and shot he would really raise the ceiling of this team.
