Think it'll work outside the bubble? These guys are awfully close to each other all game long and in practice, might need to get @mixed_biscuits to weigh in.

There's a disgusting YouTube genre which consists of a generic white lad who's quite good at basketball scripting and bribing some black people to act in his "white kid plays hoops in the hood (you won't believe what happened next)" video.

Sometimes he will dress up as a nerd or whatever too to add to the prank quality.

Season starts in an hour

@Leo how will the sixers do?
@version tell us about john wall
@padraig (u.s.) who are you hitching yourself to this season?
@pattycakes_ anything you have to share with the class
@suspendedreason a lakers man by birth right, but surely a warriors fan by now?
@constant escape do you know what basketball is?

don't care about the 76ers, Massachusetts born and a lifelong Celtics fan. They have all the makings of a great young team but still not on par with the Lakers. will be curious how the Nets work out, I'm not an Kyrie fan, for obvious reasons.

Everything I know about race relations in the States I learned from these videos

I wouldnt be surprised if the celtics squeak out a finals appearance this year

Kyrie is kinda like the Luka of the NBA

 

[Leo]

are you accusing luka of being moody, self-centered, not a team player?

You tell me who you think said that

[Leo]

yeah, you're right. could go either way.

Actually I played on a ton of recreational teams as a teenager, but never got good. Wasn't able to bodily channel the kind of focus. Frankly I didn;t even know that was what I was supposed to be doing, yet alone how to do it.

My dad started getting tickets for the Clippers when he moved to LA, in the interest of seeing Jordan live (edit: for cheap, hence Clippers rather than Lakers). Eventually season tickets, and an appreciation for the team.

Growing up I was the one Clipper fan in the class, which was playfully brutal up until Blake Griffin and co started taking shape.

Anyway, nowadays I have virtually no interest in sports, aside from studying how that kind of flow state can take form.

Best handles in the league he's saying
