Reason 3245 the NBA has lost me.

Why is he in a feud with someone that retired a long time ago?
February 24th, 2017 at 2:45 PM ^
I read all those tweets, and I swear to God, I still have no idea what is going on between those two...
But if Shaq challenges McGee to an eating contest, I got $1000 on Shaq...

Twitter sucks. Nothing good has come out of it other than people rushing to break news and stupid fights.
February 24th, 2017 at 12:45 PM ^
I find its a great way to get news and opininion from both sides of the aisle. Now, of course, it does take a while to cull a list of dependable sources who tweet intelligent stuff out.
If you do twitter right, it works like this:
Facebook is people you know saying stuff you don't care about.
Twitter is people you don't know saying stuff you do care about.

That's a good way of looking at it. I don't have a facebook or instagram, but I'm on twitter regularly. And my twitter account doesn't have my name or photo. I don't follow anyone I actually know on a personal level. I strictly use it for news, sports and entertainment. I could see why people think it's "stupid", but I literally get more insight from it than any other source of media. Why wait for the news to come on if you can follow a few outlets and gather crazy amounts of information in the quickest possible time? I also learn more about recruiting on Twitter from a few key people than I'd ever learn elsewhere.

Shaq: HOF with what, 4 rings?
Javale McGee: 8 ppg, 5 rpg in his career
This is like Bill Gates picking on a hobo.

I could care less of the nba. and even less of these 2 people.
unwatchable
except for M guys in the league, which i check on
stay off my grass
February 24th, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
Is, couldn't care less. By saying you could care less, implies you actually could care less. Couldn't means you are at your limit for caring.
February 24th, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
Don't confuse him even more.
February 24th, 2017 at 1:39 PM ^
No. He cares about the Michigan guys. So he could totally care less.
February 24th, 2017 at 2:49 PM ^
"What you mean to say Is, couldn't care less. By saying you could care less, implies you actually could care less. Couldn't means you are at your limit for caring."
What YOU mean to say is "couldn't means you are al your limit for NOT caring." Which is to say, if "Caring" was on a scale from high "care a lot" to low "do not care at all," "couldn't care less" means you have reached the lowermost point on the "DO NOT CARE" side of the thermometer...
Man, this shit's complex!

cool beans

Normally I stay out of a thread I have no interest in, no need to read or comment. This one is OT, good poster, no idea what this is about but I'll check it out. It's a really dumb feud by two people acting childish on twitter.
The only thing it does for me is inform the notion of how we ended up with a president who tweeted during the campaign and continues to do so. Apparently there are people who actually believe someone wins this type of exchange.

I wonder if any of these NBA haters can actually articulate why exactly the NBA lost them.
February 24th, 2017 at 12:32 PM ^
I would guess the amount of whistles/stoppage in play... similar to other sports. Maybe also b/c the Pistons have been pretty boring to watch since 2007. But people just like to hate, in general.
February 24th, 2017 at 7:18 PM ^
I quit watching when every new guard and forward thought they were going to be the next Michael Jordan and forgot there were 4 other players on the court. About the same time, many teams started implementing the hack em if you can't stop em philosophy. That was unwatchable in my opinion. The game may have changed, but the NBA has not done anything to bring me back so I assume it's still the same. And yes, I know 12 people are going to immediately post Golden State and San Antonio, blah, blah. That's two out of 30 teams.
February 24th, 2017 at 12:38 PM ^
I don't know anything about this feud, but I love Shaq so I'm taking his side.
February 24th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ^
...and why Shaq is merciless with him, I'll just leave this here. Do yourself a favor and look this cat up on Youtube. You won't be sorry.
February 24th, 2017 at 2:02 PM ^
Man, 2017 Shaq is the worst. Here he goes making me sympathetic to Javale McGee again.
Shaq's even angrier than when Barkley told him "first of all, you're not a good fighter." He needs to stop the tough guy routine.

The young players coming up have a long way to go to fill their shoes.
