Saladin and the coronavirus alike

I guess Milovan Djilas has finally lost his mind.

To be honest, I only mentioned him as a bit of a joke; I don't actually know much about his life, I guess.🤷😁

steelharbor9 said:It’s honestly tough to pick a single GOAT, but this guy definitely had the most legendary final words ever. 🙏 🙏

He is remembered for his ironic last words: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."

As for that one, I am afraid I haven't the slightest clue.🙏

Charles Roberts33 said:Since we’ve already started the flood of polls... which historical leader would you consider the GOAT? Who do you respect the most? 🤔

Personally, I find myself leaning toward Alexander II. 😉

Franz Joseph

Looking back from '94 until now... 2006 was probably my favorite. No real reason why, just felt right.

But what about our 2002 run? That was truly the worst tournament ever.

Between those game times and our own national team—which wasn't much better than those irritating Koreans—it was just awful.

While I was following the Formula 1 circuit, my favorite driver happened to be Juan Pablo Montoya.

It started with his time at Williams Racing, and then he moved on to the Silver Arrows; eventually, though, I suppose I lost interest in the sport, so I followed along only until Lewis Hamilton secured his first championship, and then that was really that.

I don't think I've watched a single race throughout this entire decade.

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.

I don't exactly have all these statistics memorized, as I was quite young back then, so I suppose I am mostly just relying on what managed to stick in my memory.

Susan Kim2 said:Probably the dumbest argument since the internet was invented. "I'd want to see both." 😵
Stephen Curry is such a spectacular player that you'd enjoy watching him on a 15-inch laptop, let alone live. Anyone who's ever been in an arena—even just watching some random US college game—knows how the atmosphere shifts when a guy hits four or five three-pointers in a row. Now imagine when he starts draining shots from 30 feet off the dribble, something maybe three guys in the entire league can even attempt.

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.🤣

Susan Kim2 said:Bringing a title to Cleveland in American sports is basically the same as winning the UEFA Cup in London.

LeBron James will eventually retire as a top-three player of all time. But honestly, it’s the pure talent and the mental clarity he showed—especially during his second stint with the Cavaliers—that actually cemented his spot on those eternal lists.
We can debate this forever, but who knows where his career would be if the incompetent Gilbert Arenas hadn't failed to bring in anyone better than Mo Williams during the first half of his career? Who even is Mo Williams, as Jessica Gonzalez asks? Exactly. ☕

That might be true, though I suppose I am not viewing this from an American perspective, but rather from our own.

There are plenty of superstars out there; personally, I’ve always found Damian Lillard to be one of the most likable players, and then you have established powerhouses like the Golden State Warriors, featuring guys like Kevin Durant and James Harden, alongside the younger generation led by Luka Dončić and Jayson Tatum much more prominently.

I suppose I don't particularly care that modern basketball seems to have evolved toward quantity over quality—though I'm not entirely sure how else one might describe that shift, honestly😁. From an aesthetic standpoint, it just doesn't quite hit the mark for me. I find myself drifting off to sleep during about 90% of regular season games out of pure boredom. Plus, I feel like we're missing those intense rivalries we used to see, like that brief, electric feeling when the Snake signed with the Golden State Warriors.

And you might actually be right 😁

All we have left is the Adriatic derby, and honestly, the MLS seems to be the last remaining sanctuary for raw passion 🤣

dustyviper8 said:Look, I’m not saying LeBron James is the undisputed GOAT—period. But that championship he pulled off with the Cleveland Cavaliers? Man, the way they actually did it and the team they had to go through to get there? That title is going to be legendary for the next 50 years. Seriously. We're talking about a legacy so massive that people will definitely be making documentaries about it—just like the one ESPN put out on Michael Jordan. I'm telling you, people are going to be arguing about LeBron on Reddit for the next 20 or 30 years, just like everyone is still obsessing over Jordan today.

That’s a tough one to call, though I suppose we’ll find out eventually. This current era of sports seems to belong to others; he isn't quite at that same level of cultural icon status that Michael Jordan enjoyed back in the 90s, so perhaps the conversation won't reach those heights.

The only way to truly cement that would be if he managed to pull off a three-peat with the Lakers. 😁

Besides, I feel that the NBA itself lacks much of the charisma it possessed twenty or thirty years ago. It has evolved into this highly profitable, somewhat polished product, yet in that process, it seems to have lost some of the raw charm it used to hold.

If everyone would simply follow his lead and refuse to waste their energy on politics, perhaps we wouldn't find ourselves split between extremists on both sides.

steelharbor9 said:Honestly, after 2016, nobody can touch us. We’re stronger than anything, maybe even stronger than Jordan's rookie season👋

Ah, those Game 7s

I suppose one could argue that bisexual individuals are feeling somewhat aggrieved at the moment

I'm not even entirely certain if the sixth one is actually here

I suppose we shall see each other in about an hour

Elizabeth Mendoza said:Look, money was the main story with Jordan too. Man, at the UN medal ceremony, the guy literally covers the Reebok logo with an American flag just because he's the Nike poster boy.🤣

I've got nothing against him being competitive and focused on winning, but his attitude—the constant whining, acting like he's everyone's boss, and bullying his teammates during practice—just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
The guy acts like some local mob boss sitting in his office while teammates come in asking for favors for their families or friends, and he just pulls something out of his drawer and mocks them.🤣

🤣 That’s quite a scene.

Well, those were different times, I suppose; nobody really cared if someone ended up feeling insulted back then. You wouldn't see a team from that era apologizing to China or causing a public scandal over something minor.

The reality might be that his particular style of tyranny effectively turned a group of bulls into a machine, while also shaping the actual roster. Many players have suggested they became who they are today specifically because of the sheer intensity of training with him, since he was, perhaps, a bit of a fanatic.

Elizabeth Mendoza said:For me, it totally ruined my perception of Jordan, and especially Scottie Pippen.

Edit: And I'm not talking about how they treated Toni Kukoč—I mean just generally.

As for my own take, I don't really have an issue with Jordan; in fact, I think it's quite a positive trait that he didn't back the Black candidate during the elections, which seems to be what the libtards are complaining about. He’s a relentless fanatic, and I’ve always known that, which is something I don't particularly mind.

Scottie Pippen, on the other hand, really gets under my skin because it feels like everything he did was purely about the money, even though he was the one who agreed to those contract terms in the first place. Then, he turns around and lashes out at his boss, acting as if he hadn't been brought into the fold himself, or as if he were somehow coerced into signing that deal. Personally, I wouldn't want to offer him a new contract if he's going to act that foolishly.

restlesssurfer97 said:Toni Kukoč only got 7 minutes on the court 😂

I suppose I fail to see what's funny. I just finished watching Episode 5, and honestly, the series seems quite excellent; it probably couldn't have arrived at a more opportune moment.

darkseal9 said:Man, the veal there is top-tier! You basically have to drive 100 miles93 miles north just to find a local farmer who does things the old-school way—where they scatter seeds all over the ranch and pray for rain tomorrow. But honestly, the lamb isn't quite like what we have back home; it feels like it's missing that little bit of salt in the air, you know? Still, it's pretty good!

The Canadians always tell me that Alberta beef is the absolute best in the world.

But then again, looking at what’s left of ours, there isn't much left to compare it to, I suppose.
