It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

also all the players told the media they wanted to have a meeting instead of practice and then the coach was like no no that was *my* idea.

there's more! Coach said he lied to players about wanting to have a practice, he only ever intended there to be a meeting. He lied to them to see if they would all still show up anyway, due to trusting him that he wouldn't make them have a practice.

lol jeez

top 3 cursed orgs are still twolves knicks kings, bulls gotta try harder than this if they want to get in there

cant call a fracnhise that employed MJ and did two three-peats a cursed franchise

yeah it's gonna take a long time to achieve cursed status after that

suns are still angling to be the next one up if one of those 3 break their curse

the curse began when mj left, its simple

if anyone deserves to be cursed by mj it's the wiz imo

theyre also cursed

they can have 5th place for now

Speaking of sad commentaries on the Timberwolves, Andrew Wiggins legendary NBA career has made him our 4th (!!) all time leading scorer lol

this is so sad after KG

https://www.landofbasketball.com/all_time_leaders/timberwolves/points_total_career_rs.htm

I know the Lakers are a tough comparison but still our number 2 all time scorer would be their 19th leading scorer

Laker's number 20 leading scorer: Vlade....Wolves number 20: Ryan Gomes

Nick Young to the Nuggs. I expect that’ll end in a failed drug test

Minnesota should be able to claim everlasting property rights on the former Minneapolis Lakers of the NBA

salute to celtics legend ryan gomes

the curse began when mj left, its simple

Yeah there for real are people who mention a curse and point towards the post-2nd retirement treatment of MJ by the org as the cause

its a classic curse scenario

^the man knows his Curseology

the whole thing is especially bizarre cause the post jordan bulls have been an exercise in loyalty to incompetent men but they cldnt be loyal to the greatest player of alltime

I mean, listen they also had some decent teams w/early Rose, Thibs etc...

I'm sorry but as a Wolves fav this "curse" pretty weaksauce

at lunch

I was taking a walk in the Skyway at lunch, I usually head over the Target Center to look in the pro shop

Was walking along in the Skyway and the Wolves mascot Crunch was walking towards me...I didn't really know what to do, I wanted to ask for a pic but I chickened out so I just said, "Hey Crunch what's up?" as I walked by and he tilted his head and pointed at me

but just upon tasting success and positioned for title contented rose and noah got irreparably injured, which is cursed

not all curses are about being plain bad like the wolves, for instance the original sports curse the curse of the bambino which afflicted the red sox was all about post season failure

I just said, "Hey Crunch what's up?" as I walked by and he tilted his head and pointed at me

lmao

We will gift you a surprise #1 selection (wasn't the odds of Bulls getting it like 2%) which you will use to draft a hometown wunderkind. He will become youngest MVP ever. BUT then a superteam will rip your heart out on your homefloor in conf finals, followed by your beloved wunderkind spontaneously combusting.

Twolves only been around since, what, '89? Slow your roll

also currently employing said wonder-kid

full disclosure: 80s-90s Bulls were an incredible thing to live thru during my formative years. I'm good. Any further team success is gravy.

fuller disclosure: I watched gm 5 of '91 Finals on youtube last night lol

if you wanna talk about someone "transcending sport" its michael jordan

Has Michael Jordan ever showed a talent for anything outside of sports and selling stuff?

if you wanna talk about someone "transcending sport" its Muhammad Ali

Michael Jordan is a transcendent asshole.

wow i think you guys are letting your emotions get the best of you

Michael Jordan single handedly defeated Bacon Neck and tags on t-shirts show some respect

amen brother

Contrast and compare: M. Jordan & M. Ali. Please consider their impact on society and global culture, in addition to their careers in sports. Minimum 800 words. Due at the end of winter break.

“Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

alis global reach wasnt nearly jordans more of a sign of the times than anything mass meadia and so forth but really not comparable, ali obvs a better person but jordan was the most famous person in the world, only an american wld be going on about alis impact on global culture lol

mj slander on ILH? your franchises will be cursed, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away

lmbo

srsly show some respect even if jordan didnt answer the liberal pop quiz correctly

He refused to endorse an African American running against Jesse Helms because he wanted more money. Fuck him.

man hes an athlete whos really good at dunking, also very nice shoes, why do you require him to make a political endorsement

I don't require him to do shit. But if his only principle is gimme more money (and it has been since forever) then fuck him.

he was a great basketball player and a quite ordinary human oh well

Best basketball player I've ever seen.

Y'all remember that long profile on him from a few years back that related the story of him poking his finger into EVERY donut on the set of a commercial so nobody else could have any? Dude's a prick. He's off my xmas card list that's for sure.

celtics might be finding their grove

up 15 on nola sans kyrie-horf-gordo
