Salah, this is a massive game. ☕

No, common sense is enough. You can look at the other posts here and see that the permanent ban makes zero sense. There's really no need to start a whole debate just because someone isn't using their head.
And you know as well as I do that not too long ago, bans were being handed out for no reason at all.

I just don't get it. Is admitting you were wrong really such a massive deal?

People throw around labels like "extremists" left and right on these PDFs, yet here we are with one of our own most exemplary forum members getting hit with a permanent ban without any actual investigation. And honestly, this isn't even the first time it's happened.

Anyone seen End of Watch?

Great movie.

Bode Miller🙏

I wish we’d see a few more of those modern action flicks centered around heavy gunplay, like Sicario or Den of Thieves.

Modern era, apocalypse, superheroes, or sci-fi. Which one are you picking?

Whenever people bring them up, the biggest choke was definitely that Lakers squad against the Pistons.

Commerce, urban development, the invention of writing.
Genius.

Jessica Gonzalez said:Yeah, that's true. I suppose the difference between a billiards table and a snooker table is kind of like the difference between playing soccer on a small field versus a full-sized pitch. I don't think I'm exaggerating too much there.

Plus, the balls and the pockets are smaller.

I watched O'Sullivan against Johnny Archer in the quarterfinals. Man, what a demolition. The guy is just clinical; it was like a walk in the park for him.

urbanhawk17 said:Bill Burr actually nailed this description perfectly.

I mean, just imagine being so evil that your name basically vanishes from the lexicon because nobody wants to name their kid Adolf.

🙏

It was about a last name, though. Like, what, did he have no relatives left? How much of a monster do you have to be for people to change your entire surname.

Which ruler was this again? Not BMK, but... the Phoenicians.

When this guy’s actually focused—meaning he’s sober and his head is in the right place (he’s a recovering alcoholic, after all, and deals with depression)—watching him work is honestly just as entertaining as some NBA playoff games.

Covik set the record for the fastest 147 ever in just five minutes about twenty years ago. Honestly, there isn't a god alive who's going to break that.

It’s a brutal sport. If you want to realize how difficult it actually is, you need to see a table in person. You can claim any sport is the toughest, but this one? It definitely belongs at the very top.

William Gomez5 said:Honestly, only one guy has ever had a legendary name, and that’s Hidehar Miyahira

Man, it just sounds so smooth when you say it out loud🙏

He was always rocking those helmets that looked straight out of a Hannibal Lecter movie🙏

Prika, Fernando San Emeterio.

shadowmarlin22 said:Yeah, good topic. I’d say Rice’s record is theoretically possible—it could happen if the leagues keep moving in that direction, just adding more... but Gretzky’s? No chance.🙏 Still, both are GOATs of a different caliber.

I’d also argue Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game is practically unbreakable, especially now that teams play much smarter. What’s definitely untouchable, though, is that season where Wilt averaged over 48 minutes per game🤣 along with all his rebounding records. Bill Russell’s eight straight titles are also out of reach in today's era with the way cap space works. And Pelé’s 1,300 career goals are in that same tier outside of the States...

OJ rushing for 2,000 yards in just 14 games? I don't think anyone is ever doing that again.

William Gomez5 said:Every single time I listen to Bill Burr try to defend Armstrong, it drives me nuts. Like, why didn't the people who kicked him out just give back all the money they made off him?

"why don't they return their yachts?" 🤣

Man, when it came to jumpers, Funaki was my icon

What a legend, what an absolute machine 🙏

That’s basically why Tim Duncan is my favorite basketball player

I don't know why, but this reminds me of that legendary rant.


🙏🙏

In cycling, being second under Tex Winter is actually the smartest move. Once they "discover" that the guy in first was doping, nobody will even bother looking at the runner-up, let alone giving them credit.

dustyviper8 said:To idea that the Cavs were actually helping LeBron James during his first stint? That’s being generous—they were an absolute disaster.

I still can't wrap my head around how he dragged that roster all the way to the Finals against the Spurs. To be honest, he got absolutely demolished out there—the Spurs were an unstoppable machine back then.

His 2007 roster was actually much weaker than what he had in 2009 or 2010.
I mean, look at the lineup: Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Saša Pavlović, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Bobby Gibson, and a young Varejão. 🙏🙏 🤣
They actually made it past those Detroit Pistons, who were a legitimate powerhouse and ended up in the Conference Finals again the following year. People overlook that run just because they got swept in the Finals.

brightpilot6 said:The fundamental difference lies in the sheer amount of mystique created by the lack of information available back then. If Michael Jordan and his contemporaries had been under constant surveillance, tracked 24/7 both on and off the court, they probably would have come across as much more foolish than we remember.

By only seeing them compete on the field, especially during those legendary, almost criminal stretches of dominance, they naturally seemed like gods.

Take someone like Antonio Brown, Shaun Burfict, or Hardy—they are largely dismissed as idiots today, yet if they had played in the 1980s, they likely would have been hailed as symbols of a more romantic, vivid era before sports became such a mass-produced commodity.

The legendary Antonio Cromartie—14 kids with 8 different women—actually went through with a vasectomy, yet somehow he’s still out there producing. How does that even work? 🙏

If he had played in the '80s, people would still be writing epics about him today. 😁
I think Shawn Kemp has had nine different partners across seven relationships.

Jessica Gonzalez said:Look, even Jordan didn't necessarily start out playing alongside massive superstars. That's why I mentioned in the documentary thread that some legends just get lucky with elite teammates and coaches right away, while others have to grind for years. In that sense, I think Jordan and LeBron are actually pretty similar, though they both eventually lived up to their potential. If I had to pick a downside for LeBron, it might be that his main mission seemed to be chasing MJ's shadow—trying to be the new MJ, wearing number 23, and all that. To me, that's a bit of a mistake because it makes you feel like a copy. Jordan didn't chase anyone; he was the one setting the bar that everyone else tries to reach. Now, Jordan is just chilling, enjoying life, and maybe even poking fun at them with his documentary. 🙏

Of course he wasn't. That's exactly why they picked him third in the draft. 😁
The real difference is that Michael Jordan had the best front office in the league. He had one of the most prestigious owners in all of American sports and Jerry Krause, who was a total visionary. He built that roster through the draft, polished it with smart acquisitions, and tied it all together with Tex Winter and Phil Jackson. Tex brought in the triangle offense that allowed Michael Jordan to truly shine, and Phil was the glue that kept the whole group together.

I mean, LeBron entered the league much younger, had an idiot like Mike Brown coaching him, and that was the level of front office support he received.

Anthony Wright30 said:I remember feeling quite nostalgic back when we used to head out after school to watch Ayus play. 🤣

I am fairly certain that before his arrival, teams like Split and Boston were struggling with something like sixteen consecutive losses, which led to headlines in the SD claiming that Split and Boston were locked in a dead heat.🤣

Larry Hughes, Joe Sesar, and Alan Anderson.
What absolute legends they were, considering the graveyard shifts of teams they played for and the caliber of those leagues.

How much did Ayuso actually contribute to that 30+ win season back then? Maybe 6 wins, in my opinion.
