I was looking at that badass sports play thread and watching the brutal dunks where a guy just shoves the defender out of the way after he posterizes him looked completely foreign to me.

Today's game is a bunch of little guys shooting threes and acting like they got shot when they get "fouled".

I realize the same complaint has been repeated about the NBA for years now, but watching it lately has been particularly bad. It's not fun for me anymore.

Hockey is much more entertaining to me now.

The NBA desperately needs and wants a new Michael Jordan but at the same time I don't think they'd be ok with someone who shit talks and demoralizes opponents like MJ did. MJ ruined one players career with one line of shit talk

Yeah man, that Pippen gif where he puts his nuts in Ewings face after he obliterates him is the best.

Only one thing can save Great Balls Of Fire, and that's if it turns out to be a full-length Southpaw Regional Wrestling PPV.

A part of me feels bad for laughing at the people that got scammed by the Fyre Festival, but then I remember they're the kind of people who have $12k to spend on something like that.
 
I don't ever wanna think of that universe.

Also I like that this implies that even without the WWF around to compete, WCW would still go under.

They regularly spent millions to fly people to shows they knew they weren't booked for, while simultaneously paying Megadeth, people they no longer employed, and Russo. They were always doomed, this universe just happened to be the one where they died quickest

Down by one to the Chicago Bulls, the Charlotte Hornets needed to make one more huge basket to avoid getting bounced in the 1995 NBA Playoffs. Muggsy Bogues took the ball in this important possession with Michael Jordan guarding him. Eventually, Jordan stepped back and gave Bogues the space to shoot the rock. “Shoot it you fucking midget," MJ barked. The 5-foot-3 guard obliged and didn't come close. The Bulls won the game, 85-84, and moved onto the semifinals to play the Orlando Magic.

According to Johnny Bach, who was a coach on that 1995 Hornets team, Bogues told him that moment ruined his career. He was never the same, averaging just 5.9 points per game for the remainder of his career after three straight years of putting up double-digit points. Cold.

Greatest thing that could happen would be the ones with stroke backstage see that Strowman has alot more potential than Reigns and run with it.

If you're paying 12k to see Ja Rule in 2017, you deserve whatever you get tbh.

The GOAT One

I wonder how many guys today are trying to seriously model themselves after The Rock, at least insomuch as using WWE to carve out a lane for themselves in the entertainment business. I don't think anyone is going to perfectly mimic Dwayne's success. Beyond his natural charisma and good looks, dude also was a top guy when their were more eyes on the product than ever. But it seems like the WWE is the finish line for most of the current talent when some of them, if they grinded at it, could move on to other things.

Not knocking being a wrestler as a career. If that's all you want, cool. But I would guess the "just happy to be here" attitude people complaing about current talent having is because a lot of them simply can't think to do anything more than this.
