Shyness is nice, and shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life you'd like to

LeBron is finally playing for a franchise who appreciates him and embraced him from Day One and they’re not secretly rooting for him to fail simply because he’s better than their basketball idol
LeBron James:
“I'm having a great time... I'm more than happy that I made the decision to come here.”

Incredibile che abbia atteso il 24esimo anno ed il quarto spostamento per provare ad andare in un posto dove è apprezzato.

90s branding elevated the NBA to unprecedented heights, but also turned nostalgia into gospel.
The game evolved.
The players evolved.
The evidence evolved.
Yet, many fans are still defending their childhood memories against the evolution of basketball.
Emotion-driven discourse
This is what the goat debate is boiled down to
A lot of people do not want to say Bron because they have a strong connection to MJ.
This man knows who the better basketball player is, but he didnt grow up idolizing Bron. It was Mike for him.
He has slipped and said Bron is the Goat before but he will never let go of MJ.
This is the same for about 75% of the "MJ is the Goat" crowd

Unpopular opinion; No one - literally not a soul - actually enjoys the taste of beer. Not a single human. Those who claim to enjoy beer, don’t actually. It’s really just a social ritual, a form of self deception… the impact of decades of stacked marketing to convince you that beer is anything but an alcohol delivery mechanism. You can enjoy getting sloshed. You can enjoy the social liberation that alcohol offers. You can enjoy the party. But don’t act like you actually like the taste of beer. You don’t. You might think you do. But you don’t. Because it tastes like it looks: bitter dehydrated piss, with bubbles. In the case of Guinness, like diarrhea, with bubbles. And you know it.

Bob Cousy in 1985 on whether he considered himself an unselfish point guard:
"You can't be an effective passer if you're a selfish player, if you're looking shot instead of pass. But that's not necessarily completely unselfish, either, because if I gave (Bill) Sharman the ball and he missed that thing, he used to hear from me because I wanted the assist."
On fans assuming the passer is always the unselfish one:
"People who follow the game have this tendency to think, well, the passer's unselfish and the shooter's not. Well, that's not necessarily the case."

If it’s on the road, it’s a 5k. If it’s on the track, it’s a 5000.
This is entirely vibes-based. But it’s also an important distinction.

Ultimate Champs wasn’t a bad product
They need to fix the awful statistics they kept broadcasting (Josh Kerr 13th out of 12?). But if it happens again, the most important thing is that all events are contested. None of this some field events and some distance events crap

there was a TikTok about how artists keep canceling tours because ghost songs are playing to no one and this was basically the explanation.
In pratica hanno messo i concorsi per evitare le polemiche ma tanto non li fanno vedere (a parte Duplantis ovviamente) #WorldAthleticsUltimate

Say it quietly but I think this Ultimate thing is a much better end to a season than the DL final. Other than an actual champs that is.
Adesso sembra quando sei a fine campionati regionali e vuoi andare a casa a mangiare, ma sono rimasti due turni di lungo #WorldAthleticsUltimate
Iapichino specializzata nel "primo salto e poi gufare" ormai #WorldAthleticsUltimate
La formula è sicuramente perfettibile (ad esempio io la metterei al posto delle finali di Diamond League), ma l' idea non sembra male #WorldAthleticsUltimate
Dal 2004 ad oggi ormai siamo in doppia cifra di imprese sfiorate e sconfitte amare, è peggio della maledizione di Babe Ruth #Italbasket
